Amy & Todd. Dog Friendly Wedding. 8.14.22
/The Marriage of Amy & Todd
August 14, 2021 at The Maples Estate
Schoharie, NY - Upstate, NY
This fun loving, creative couple made The Maples Estate the destination for their multi-day wedding celebration in Upstate NY with a paired down group of friends and family.
Originally hoping for a guest list over 100, they finally celebrated together in 2021 with 70 of their closest friends and family after a year delay due to COVID-19. Amy and Todd and many of their guests joined us from NYC and New Jersey where many of them are performers on Broadway and in other productions. You may know Amy from her work as a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall, her performance as a ballerina in Netflix’s Halston, or many other performances in NYC and beyond.
During the pandemic their plans changed multiple times with vendors going out of business, changes in dates and uncertainty about Amy’s return to work on Broadway, but finally they were able to celebrate, and celebrate they did! Amy and Todd opted for a multi-day wedding celebration arriving on Friday with a casual rehearsal dinner at the estate, followed by a welcome event at the hotel where many of their guests were staying. They were in the kitchen the entire weekend with a love for cooking and good food, and enjoyed their time getting ready together in the farmhouse.
They laughed all weekend and had an especially memorable ceremony with dogs on the loose and Todd thinking someone’s dress was on fire! Its moments like these that we absolutely LOVE where the imperfect becomes a perfect memory to talk about for years to come. Their dog Lola joined them as they walked down the aisle hand in hand and made their way up to the cocktail hour on the veranda. For their reception, they arranged a full service caterer to serve family style meals to their guests and even hired a vintage photo booth where their guests could take fun photos and capture the moments! You could tell their guests also enjoyed the scenery, taking many selfies overlooking the schoharie valley, and Amy & Todd got the opportunity to sneak away with their photographer for some twilight photos. On theme, the toasts were incredibly thoughtful and hilarious and Lola even received a spotlight opportunity joining Amy & Todd on the dance floor later in the evening. They sent their guests back to the hotel with pizza in hand after an incredible celebration and lots of dancing, and chilled by the fire to decompress with guests staying in the farmhouse.
They took full advantage of the entire weekend with a bbq brunch and pool party on Sunday, with food and drinks from a local restaurant and brewery, and extended into Monday with more pool time and final cleanup. Amy and Todd shared many fun moments throughout the weekend and left with tears in their eyes overjoyed with love and excited from the weekends events! They are already planning a 5 year anniversary BBQ and we cannot wait to celebrate with them again!
