An Alexandra Grecco Bride for a Summer Jewish Wedding at Solé East Backyard, Montauk, New York, USA

22/04/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

Alex and Mike, Sole East Backyard, Montauk, USA

Dreaming of summer? Us too – and that’s why we can’t get enough of the fabulous Jewish wedding of Alex, who works in education, and Mike, in finance. The New York couple loves spending their summer weekends in Montauk, and they wanted to bring those relaxed, intimate vibes to their big day.

With an outdoor chuppah at Solé East Backyard followed by an afterparty at Roberta’s Pizza, they positively nailed it – thanks in no small part to their wonderful wedding planner, Andrea Adelstein from Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor NYLux Events.

In Alex’s words,

Andrea has an incredible attention to detail and extremely high standards – both of which were key when working with so many different vendors. NYLux handled everything! The coordination of vendors and day of execution is extremely challenging and it was nice to know that I was in such good hands throughout the entire process. Andrea really understood what my vision was and worked incredibly hard to make sure it came to life.

To complete the summer theme, Alex and Mike used Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor ketubah.com to create their custom ketubah, with a natural wood and white color scheme and surrounded by shells from Ditch Plains beach in Montauk.

Karlie Louise Photography captured the whole day so beautifully – do scroll on to see the day in all its glory!

How We Met

Alex, the bride:  We met the old fashioned way – at a bar! We were both 22 and living in the East Village. We ended up at the same bar on a Saturday night and had friends who knew each other. Our groups merged and we ended up talking in a corner for hours.Continue ReadingContinue Reading
