About Town : Gramercy Mansion, Studio 921, Sima's and more...
M + Me + my NY clients: Jessica and Erik
I had the pleasure of taking two of my out of town wedding clients, Jessica and Erik, around Baltimore last weekend. The couple traveled from New York to visit their ceremony, reception, hotel and rehearsal dinner venues. I also arranged for Jessica to meet with potential hair stylists, makeup artists and manicurists that will play a part in the wedding weekend.
In addition to getting pampered and feeling beautiful, it was important to be well-fed. One of the highlights of their trip included a chance to enjoy a Chef's Expressions "Pinot-Inspired" wine dinner. Six courses of deliciousness paired with Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir at the Gramercy Mansion in Stevenson. Favorites from the evening ranged from an oyster stew, pork and veal sausage with fennel and mint, and crunchy duck lollipop to chocolate hazelnut soup, pumpkin cheesecake lollipops and gingersnaps. Jessica and Erik were bowled over by the food and thrilled that their guests will get to experience such a similarly robust menu at the wedding.
The busy, appointment-packed schedule included: a trip to see Emily at Studio 921 for a manicure, a visit to Sima's to meet with Leah who will hopefully be creating Jessica's two hair styles for the wedding and a visit to Madeleine of La Papillon for a revamped skincare routine and makeup ideas for the big day. Gorgeous!

What a fun weekend!
What a great job you have...The duck lollipop sounds delish!
The trip to Madeleine would have to be a 'must' for any self respecting bride, you know that in the US you have a completely amazing process for planning a wedding and getting married, it puts the UK to shame, our wedding events are dull in planning, even most wedding dress shops are dull and completely un-enthusiastic.
I have always marvelled at the way you guys do it, I remember watching Father of the Bride and from then onwards I compared the UK experience of wedding events to what was portrayed (I know its just a film) and never have I heard of a single wedding that could be compared.
