A Black-Tie Wedding That Was The ‘Epitome of Modern Elegance’

Posted on February 12, 2025 by New Jersey Bride

Amie and Andrew got married at Liberty House on October 19, 2024.

The Proposal 

Andrew planned the proposal day of Amie’s dreams. After proposing on a street in the West Village, a neighborhood that means so much to them, he gathered their families to surprise them with brunch at our apartment.

That evening he rented out a bar down the street to celebrate with all of their family and friends.

“I couldn’t stop smiling,” says Amie. “Everything was perfect and I fell even more in love with him.”
