The atmosphere was electric, DIY projects were flowing, and florals were cascading—Alicia and Pavel’s wedding reception was truly a night to remember. The personalized details, the love of their 300 closest family and friends, paired with the grandeur of our historic venue, created an unforgettable celebration. The room transformation was one of our favorites to date, and the way Alicia reminisces about her and Pavel’s special day is filled with warmth and love. Reading it makes you feel as though you spent the day with them!

Tell us a bit about your event you hosted at LiUNA Station!

Our wedding at LiUNA Station was a dream come true. The historic train station ballroom, with its stunning architecture and elegant décor, provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. With 300 guests and traditional Polish wedding customs, the night was filled with laughter, dancing, and exceptional food—creating unforgettable memories in a truly glamorous setting. As a teacher and DIY bride, I took pride in creating personalized touches, from the head table décor to our seating charts, welcome sign, and all stationery, including the invitation suite and menu cards.

What were some of the sources of inspiration behind the look and feel of your event?

We drew inspiration from classic elegance, envisioning a sophisticated ambiance that reflected the venue’s charm. The combination of white linens, large chandeliers, and gold accents perfectly complemented LiUNA Station’s vintage yet polished vibe. We wanted a romantic, timeless atmosphere, reminiscent of an old Hollywood film. Soft lighting enhanced the grandeur of the space. I also took cues from celebrity weddings, like those of Sofia Richie and Hailey Bieber, which showcased stunning aesthetics and timeless styles.

Share with us your number one couldn’t live without décor piece or tastiest food option from our catered menu!

Our number one can’t-live-without food option was the supreme antipasto bar! It featured a beautiful spread of seafood, cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and fresh vegetables—offering guests a delightful variety of flavors. It was the perfect start to the evening, encouraging mingling and conversation while beautifully complementing our classic elegance theme. The presentation was just as stunning as the food, making it both visually appealing and absolutely delicious!

What is the one piece of advice you would give someone planning their big day!

My best advice is to prioritize communication and collaboration with your partner. Discuss your vision together, from the style and theme to the guest list and the traditions you want to incorporate. Embrace the process, stay flexible, and enjoy the journey. After all, it’s about celebrating your love and commitment together!

What moment during your event will forever be etched into your memory?

One moment that will forever be etched in our memory was when we shared our first dance as a married couple. Surrounded by family and friends, the joy and love in the room were palpable. As we danced to ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeran, we felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for everyone who came to celebrate with us. It truly encapsulated the essence of our special day and the start of our new life together.

MVP – What vendor couldn’t you live without?!

The vendor we couldn’t live without was our band, Exclusive Vibez Music (https://www.instagram.com/exclusivevibezmusic/?hl=en).
