BRONX WEDDING IN JULY

July, 2008 in Bronx

"Having a wedding in the Bronx can be a pain, especially for Fordham alums who want to have the ceremony at the University Church. By staying at the Hilton Rye Town, we kept the driving reasonable. The ceremony was very formal and the reception casual, so everyone had a lot of fun!"

Ceremony: Fordham University

Venues

Ceremony: Fordham University
Reception: J C Fogarty's

Band:

Bell Blake Duo

Bronx, NY, USA

"We used the band for traditional Irish music in addition to a DJ. They start as a duo but we added pipes and bodrain. Their sets were wonderful and the band was a pleasure to work with."

Cakes/Candies Vendor:

Mazur's Bakery

Bronx, NY, USA

"This is near our home in Jersey, but worth the drive for anyone. The wedding cake was delicious and while everyone suggested we slightly under-order on the cake, we should have ordered extra. The guests were clamoring for more. They were also very good about delivering to the Bronx despite the somewhat long drive."

"Dawn is professional and personable. We were very concerned about an unobtrusive photographer for the Roman Catholic ceremony. Except for walking down the aisle, I didn't even see her or her assistant and the final photos were excellent. She is pleasant, accommodating and captured some of the best moments of the day."

Ceremony:

Fordham University

441 E Fordham Rd
Bronx, NY, USA

"For a Catholic wedding in the area, there is no place more beautiful. We brought in a few flowers for the altar and it was absolutely spectacular."

Reception:

J C Fogarty's

60 Kraft Ave
Bronxville, NY, USA

"Excellent food. We offered the usual chicken and beef but also added duck which was delicious and a big hit. As an Irish pub, they have everything you could want and are more than accommodating with special orders. The staff is professional and helpful and your event will be handled personally by the owner, who is there from beginning to end, even watching the plates as they leave the kitchen."
