But I don’t think I have witnessed such pure joy and exuberance as I did at the wedding of Cantor Lauren Beth Levy and Eric Robert Goodman. Lauren, 33, is the cantor at Beth David Reform Congregation in Gladwyne, Penn. The groom, 31, is a hospital medicine physician at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. The couple met on JSwipe in 2015.Involvement: Full consultingInspiration: The whimsy of the bride and groom was reflected in the style inspiration for this wedding.“Aha” design moment: Walking across the bridge at Rat’s Restaurant, named for a character in the book Wind in the Willows, is magical. The setting is reminiscent of Claude Monet’s “Giverny.” It is so romantic and magical that it helped set the tone for the wedding.Most unique design element: The venue, the Grounds for Sculpture, is a sculpture park and museum in Hamilton Township, N.J. It was the vision of Seward Johnson, a philanthropist and artist, and it has grown to become a 42-acre arboretum and park with 270 sculptures placed throughout, including life-sized bronze figurative sculptures by Johnson himself. There are indoor exhibition galleries as well, and this wedding embraced the indoor and outdoor spaces and used a variety of locations for its celebrations.Color palette: Bright coral and white, along with peacock blue, with several shades of bright and deep pinksBudget: PrivateStaff hours: 45 plusPlanning time: Nine-and-half monthsClient meetings: Two in-person, along with numerous phone meetingsSet up/strike details: Set up in this venue was a challenge as the grounds are large and the locations many. We set up for the ketubah signing in the Bamboo Courtyard, the ceremony at a sculpture called Nine Muses, cocktails were in the West Gallery, and dinner and dancing were held in the East Gallery. Guests who arrived early were invited to wander the gardens.Revenue breakdown: 100% planningBiggest challenge: While we certainly didn’t see all of the grounds on the wedding day, we had to navigate a much larger area than at our usual venues. Also, we were not aware that the vendors and regular visitors had to enter through the same admission line, and the day was glorious, which meant the lines were long. We remedied this with a call to our contact, who opened another line. In addition, although the grounds are gorgeous, buildings and locations are deliberately hidden, making them hard to find. We did a pre-wedding tour, but the maps list the sculptures not other landmarks, so it takes a while to get oriented. Again, we called our contact and she guided us. I have already been in contact with the venue and have requested a different map for our next wedding there. WPM
