After the dinner, Christene and Philip led
everyone upstairs to the Rooftop Pavilion
at the gallery which Evan had completely

remembers Christene.
“The feedback we received from our guests
was that our wedding was incredibly
romantic, that we had whisked them down
a rabbit hole, that they couldn’t even begin
to describe it to people that weren’t there,
and that none of the attention to detail went
