Jeffrey and Michael’s wedding at The Pool in New York City was an unforgettable celebration of love, elegance, and modern design. As a gay couple, they chose this iconic venue, known for its stunning architecture and luxurious ambiance, to host their special day. The event was meticulously planned by Eyal Tessler from Tessler Events, who ensured that every detail reflected the couple's style and the grandeur of the city they love.


The day began with the grooms arriving at The Pool already dressed and ready, exuding excitement and anticipation. Their first photo session took place outside the venue on Park Avenue, where they posed against the backdrop of New York City's towering skyscrapers. The contrast of their sleek black-tie attire against the urban landscape set the tone for a sophisticated and chic celebration.


Inside The Pool, the venue was nothing short of spectacular. The main reception room, where the ceremony and festivities took place, is named after the large square pool that occupies its center. Above this central feature hung a dazzling silver disco ball and a breathtaking suspended floral installation crafted from purple Vanda orchids by the talented Raquel Corvino. The room was bathed in the warm glow of countless candles, creating a dark, moody atmosphere with a touch of modern luxury. The architecture and furnishings of the space further emphasized the opulence of The Pool wedding in New York City, making it the perfect setting for this once-in-a-lifetime event.


The couple’s portrait session in the reception room highlighted the stunning surroundings. The combination of Andy Warhol's art, the pool, and the disco ball provided a unique backdrop that perfectly complemented Jeffrey and Michael's modern aesthetic. The formal family photos were taken in front of the disco ball, adding a touch of glamour to these cherished memories.


As the ceremony approached, guests dressed in black-tie attire filled the room, which now had a lively, anticipatory energy. Jeffrey and Michael stood at the top of a grand staircase to exchange their vows, a moment filled with emotion and love. Following the ceremony, the couple and their guests were treated to a surprise performance by ChinahBlac and her ensemble of five singers, who delivered a powerful rendition of "Age of Aquarius" by The 5th Dimension, adding an unforgettable musical element to the evening.


The reception that followed was a celebration worthy of The Pool wedding in New York City. With entertainment provided by Fusion Lighting Productions, MTM Events, and DJ Phil Karatzia, guests danced the night away under the glow of the disco ball and candlelight. The night was a true reflection of the couple's love story, their personalities, and their connection to the vibrant city of New York.


In every way, Jeffrey and Michael’s wedding at The Pool in New York City was a perfect blend of romance, style, and luxury—a celebration that will be remembered by all who attended.
