Next up is a fantastic Art Factory wedding which is in Paterson, NJ. Radena and Ayinde were able to quickly scramble this past summer (yes, the infamous summer of 2020) and miraculously they put together one of the best weddings of the year! Everything came together, their friends and family were safely able to attend because this amazing venue is huge and able to safely accommodate many guests (take that, Covid!!). It was a great day, and it was awesome to feel normal for a day! I had such a good time with this crew, I think the photos will make you feel how good of a day it was!
Here are some words by our lovely bride, Radena:
When planning your wedding, what were you most looking forward to? We wanted to celebrate our love and union with our family and friends. As the bride and ultimate daddy’s girl, I was looking forward to my dad walking me down the aisle. As for my husband, he wanted to be sure his 94 year old grandmother could be present for our nuptials!
What were some of your favorite moments from your wedding day? Sharing our vows, our first dance and dancing all night long with our friends and family.
If you could do it all again, would you change anything? Yes, hire a wedding planner. Personally vet out all service participants ie: greeter, bartender, etc to ensure it’s the type of energy & service that you want on your special day.
Any advice for future couples planning their weddings? Be sure to have the day YOU want. The day flies by so fast; it feels like a dream. My husband’s advice, “listen to your fiance”. Haha!!!
