It all started on the Upper East Side in New York City. Our first date was at an amazing cocktail bar called JBird, on February 15, 2013. While we’ve been together almost ten wonderful years, JBird wasn’t so lucky, closing not long after that first date. Fast forward to 2021, not long after our engagement. When touring 74Whythe, our wedding venue, we were floored by the beautiful space and wonderful city views. There was something else. We stumbled on the venue’s cocktail bar. JBird. The owners had reincarnated our first date locale in a stunning space inside our potential wedding venue. Needless to say, we signed on the dotted line soon after. We are beyond lucky to be celebrating our wedding with you, in the city where it all began, sharing a piece of that first date with all of you.
