Both the ceremony and reception were held in the ballroom of a private club. The ceremony aisle was lined with vases of calla lilies and votive candles arranged on pedestals of varying heights. The dramatic chuppah was constructed of white chiffon that cascaded down from the room's 20-foot ceiling.
