There’s something magical about the first wedding of the summer—long daylight, fresh blooms, and that just-right buzz in the air that says, something good is happening. Peyton and Nolan’s wedding at The Frick Museums and Gardens felt exactly like that.

These two pulled together a day that felt beautifully custom to them. Every little detail felt intentional—from the heartfelt ceremony on the steps of the historic Frick mansion to the string lights twinkling above the reception tent later that night. It wasn’t just a celebration—it was a reflection of everything they love: art, music, their people… and apparently, one friendly neighborhood cat.


That’s right. At some point during dinner, a cat from the neighborhood decided to crash the party. This furry little guest strolled through the tent like they belonged there, getting plenty of attention and gentle pets from guests.

The tent setup was seriously stunning. Think: wide open space, a gorgeous bar, and a live painter quietly working on a canvas, capturing the couple’s first dance in real time. It’s those little things that made the day feel extra special.

Music-wise, the vibe was all about balance. We kept things soft and sweet during dinner with singer-songwriters, classic rock, and a few soulful indie tracks that fit the setting perfectly. But once the dance floor opened? Let’s just say: everyone showed up.

The playlist was a high-energy blend of 2000s pop, a little disco, some indie dance gems, and a sprinkle of ABBA and Chappell Roan to keep it joyful. Peyton and Nolan gave me a solid list of must-plays, and I made sure to squeeze in as many as I could with some fast-paced mixing to keep the momentum going.

There was something for everyone, and that’s what made it so fun, like the kind of night you wish would go on forever. And when the final few songs hit (Wagon Wheel, Everytime We Touch…), nobody wanted it to end.

As guests drifted out of the tent under the stars, we played a sweet little exit set of “How Long Will I Love You” and “Thirteen” by Ben Kweller—both quiet, cozy closers to a perfect day.

Peyton and Nolan, thank you for letting me be part of something so beautifully you. Congratulations!!!
