From Wayne Yuan Photography… Yellow and gray are definitely a winning combo when it comes to a modern, chic wedding. Sheryl and Mike had their wedding at the National Newark Building—an old bank converted into one of the coolest and most inspiring spaces for a grand celebration! Its entrance staircase opens up to a grand foyer where the bride and groom held their cocktail hour; the old teller windows became clever places for mini drink bars. It was a yellow and lemony wonderland of gumdrops, candies, and their signature drink (lemon drops) dripping from an ice sculpture of the building itself! With everything sprinkled in cheerful yellow details, it was the perfect setting for friends and family to catch up and mingle under the amazing Art Deco architecture.
To one side of the foyer was the ceremony, where Sheryl and Mike recited their vows beside their entourage of suspender-wearing groomsmen and chic bridesmaids sporting fun spring accessories made by the bride herself! An old bank vault transformed into a movie set for unique “mafia-inspired” bridal party portraits, so appropriate for this fun group of friends who were up for something a little less traditional. The reception was set up on the opposite side of the foyer, where every little table card and name tag was designed to coordinate with the neo-classical style of the architecture. A live jazz quartet welcomed their guests into the beautiful banquet room, and everyone sent the happy couple on their way with a parade of sparklers (Approved by the local fire department of course!) to end the evening. It was a beautiful day with a fun couple who brought so much character and personal detail to this event—their guests will certainly remember and talk about this day for many years to come.

Such beautiful colors, good luck to Mike and Sheryl
So inspiring! Everything looks perfect!
Thanks SMP team for featuring this wedding! It was a truly magical wedding :
This is really cool. I love the bar set-up with the giant ice building!
Wow, the ice sculpture is so cool. And are those Lemonhead candies I spy? They are my favorite and were the main reason I am using yellow as my main color, so I can have an all lemon candy buffet. :)
lovely wedding! Where are the groom's socks from?
Beautiful work Wayne!!!

gorgeous dress! i love seeing dresses that aren't strapless :). The portrait 4th row down looks like a fashion magazine photo.
Hi. I just check out this venue for my wedding and I was curious as to wether everything went smoothy b/c I've read mix reviews. How was the food? Did they deliver on everything they promised? Thanks for your help!
Good Lick guys!!! your wedding was fabulous!!!
LOVE the mailbox!! where did you find it??

Everything went smoothly for Sheryl and Mike in regards to the Mezzanine. The food could have been hotter but was still good and we had to tell them to dim the lights after dinner and they were not on top of the photobooth props/guest book but i wouldn't really consider that their job and the BMS took care of that extra stuff that was over looked so it was in no way an issue. They were helpful and set up the candy bar and had a lot of great suggestions. The bride says ''overall they did a great job accommodating us and all our vendor's needs and were very cooperative and attentive through out the planning process''

The mailbox was from HomeDepot. She wanted one that locked and that was the only place that had what she was looking for.
-sara again.
Thanks Sara
