Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding : Nicole & Peter : Briarcliff Manor, NY

Weddings

Feb 7

An August wedding at Sleepy Hollow Country Club in Westchester County for Nicole and Peter, with an outdoor ceremony on the lawn and a reception under the tent. Bright summer light, thoughtful design, and a celebration that felt relaxed, elegant, and grounded from start to finish.

Thoughtful planning by Mikie Russo kept the day moving smoothly while allowing space for things to unfold naturally.

The bride got ready on site in Sleepy Hollow’s lovely suites upstairs wearing a sculptural gown by Danielle Frankel. Modern and unfussy, it set the tone for the day. Hair and makeup by Mervat Bridals and KDM Artistry kept everything polished but natural.

Inside the tent, the light began to shift. During the first dance, the sun broke through the tent walls, creating texture and dimension across the floor—one of those unplanned moments that defines how a space feels more than how it looks. The Jenna Wynne Band delivered a high-energy set that became one of the most memorable elements of the night.

As daylight faded, guests drifted outside, drawn toward the Hudson River as the light melted into the horizon—an unhurried pause before the evening gathered momentum again. Later, the dance floor opened up and the celebration took on a different rhythm. Greek dancing emerged organically during the reception—joyful and communal—adding tradition without changing the overall tone of the evening.

Florals by Pat Glenn Productions anchored the space throughout the night, and the cake by Ron Ben Israel fit seamlessly into the design—elegant, restrained, and clearly considered.

Later, the celebration moved into the historic clubhouse for an after-party that leaned into contrast. A DJ, red light, disco ball, and late-night snacks carried the party into the late hours.

Nicole and Peter—she from New York, he a Midwestern transplant who found his way here—share a quiet elegance and sharp personal style. Nothing performative. Just a well-built day, an exceptional team, and a celebration that felt fully lived in.
