Liberty Warehouse Waterfront Ceremony

Not being particularly religious, Hayley and Jared knew they wanted neither a traditional ceremony nor to meet a rabbi for the first time for their wedding. “We wanted someone whom we know and love to marry us,” says Hayley. The pair ultimately asked Jared’s uncle Danny Siegel to officiate the ceremony, who was able to provide a personal dimension to the proceedings. “Jared and I also wrote our own vows and although it seemed like a daunting task at first, we were glad we took on the challenge, because they were so meaningful and special,” she adds. “We heard them for the first time at the ceremony.”
