Ellis Island Waterfront Cocktail Hour

With a bit of luck, the weather was beautiful, allowing the couple to make the most of the setting. After saying “I do” in a traditional Jewish ceremony inside Ellis Island’s Registry Room, the newlyweds and their guests headed outdoors for cocktail hour. While guests sipped on signature cocktails, like the French 75 (Lauren’s favorite), they took in breathtaking views of the sun setting over the New York City skyline.
