Noelle & Reni
Wedding Party & Important Players
Alexander Jacke
Officiant
We are honored to have Noelle's brother Alex as the officiant for our exchange of vows. He has a way with words that will have you at hello.
Nick Papananias
Wedding Photographer
Nick is Reni's younger brother & an incredibly talented photographer known for capturing the quiet stolen moments we cherish & the party pics you're going to want to hide on social media the next day.
Christina Jacke
Sister of Honor
Christina has been our partner in the wedding planning process from the start: she found our stunning venue, hotel, makeup artist...the list goes on. She has great taste, she gets us, and she's always there for us when we need her. At this point, we're kinda fighting over which side of the aisle she should sit on.
Sara Pedrosa & Hawk Thompson
Koumbara
In the Greek culture, it is customary for the newlywed couple to choose another couple to be their partners in marriage and in life. The Koumbara take a pledge as part of the ceremony to guide and support the marriage and are chosen because their relationship is an example of strength, commitment, and love. During the ceremony, the Koumbara play an active role in the exchange of rings and the "crowning" of the newly married couple as the "Queens" of their new household, after which, the koumbara lead the couple in their first steps as a married couple. Sara & Hawk are ALL THAT.
Jonathan Grassi
Portrait Photographer
Jonathan & Reni go all the way back to day 1 at Parsons School of Design. He's a world-renown fashion and portrait photographer and he's going to make us look really cool.
Katalin Stazer
Florist and Sage
Kati is a longtime family friend and also the woman who introduced Noelle to the world of food. She has kept us sane during this process, reminding us along the way of the important things. She also did all of our flowers. #talented
Adam Dudd
Graphic Artist
...because we know you're going to love our wedding signage....you should know the talented artist behind it. Adam has designed for some of the most famous museums in the world. We're kinda crushing on all of our talented friends!
Josh Levine
Ceremony Videographer
Josh is at home shooting moving images of rockstars and undercover street photography in NYC. We asked him to record the ceremony so we don't forget the promises we make to each other after we hit the couples cocktail bar. He also makes a mean bird. *See Photo
