Jasmin and Chris celebrated their wedding with a day that was as romantic as it was unforgettable at Hamilton Farm Golf Club. Originally dreaming of a greenhouse ceremony, Jasmin found herself captivated by the lush gardens of the venue, which offered the same organic charm with added grandeur. With no strict color palette, she focused instead on creating a light, airy, and romantic atmosphere that felt both timeless and chic.
Their ceremony blended Italian Catholic and Jewish traditions, symbolizing both of their families’ values, while lush blooms framed the couple beneath a chuppah. Rain fell throughout the morning, but just in time for their vows, the skies cleared, unveiling a breathtaking double rainbow. Jasmin wore a Martina Liana gown that perfectly embodied her “fairy garden princess” vision before later changing into a sparkling Sau Lee mini dress to dance the night away. Her couture Valentino heels added a modern, high-fashion touch to the day.
As if the rainbow weren’t magical enough, the evening ended with surprise fireworks that lit up the sky—an exclamation point on a celebration already filled with love, family, and joy.
“Life happens and things get really hard. Love is being able to get through it holding each other’s hand and supporting one another.”
How did you two meet? What were your first impressions of one another?
We actually met the old-fashioned way at a bar with a cheesy pick-up line: “I like your glasses. Can I buy you a drink?” I was so stunned and also so instantly attracted to him that I said yes. Apart from the instant chemistry, the conversation was so good—as well as the making out and dancing. I think we each went home separately knowing we had met someone really special that night.
Tell us a funny story relating to your wedding day or relationship!
I fell in love with Hamilton Farm because of the gardens. I knew cocktail hour had to be in that area during sunset. Unfortunately, it rained on our wedding day—and I mean it poured. We had to scramble last minute to find a tent (which we put in the gardens for the ceremony), and we ended up moving cocktail hour inside. Right before sunset, the rain cleared up and there was a double rainbow. We have the most beautiful pictures from it, and I will never forget how magical it was.
Describe a hurdle you had to overcome in your relationship or during your wedding planning.
Finding a venue that was easy for both sides of the family to get to was really important. We would’ve loved a destination wedding, but it mattered to both of us that everyone could be there. Since we’re from two different (yet close) states, we had to find a place in the middle—and it worked out beautifully.
Any special ways you incorporated your family or family history into your wedding day?
Neither of us are religious, but both of our families have values they wanted us to incorporate. We got married under a chuppah, Chris stomped on the glass, and we also lit a unity candle.
What part of your wedding day was/is most important to you?
I wanted the ceremony to be romantic and meaningful. I wanted cocktail hour to be upscale and snazzy, and I wanted the reception to be energetic and a great time. It all worked out exactly as I’d hoped—and then some.
What was your favorite part about planning your wedding?
Having a vision for exactly what you want makes planning so much easier. I found all of it fun and exciting because I knew the aesthetic, the vibes, and everything I wanted it to be from the get-go.
If you had one piece of advice for other couples, what would it be?
You’re on the same team. It’s never you vs. me—it’s us against the problem.
What is the most honest thing you can say about love?
Life happens and things get really hard. Love is being able to get through it holding each other’s hand and supporting one another.
