And now, for the long-awaited and crucial announcement of where Come Together will be taking place: The Currier Museum of Art in Manchester!
Can you believe it?
When we started out on this journey, we had no idea how many wedding professionals would be open to donating their time and resources for the cause. It was fairly easy to approach our colleagues, many of whom have become great friends, but at a certain point we had to put it all on the line and find a location for the shoot itself. That was a daunting task for me. Would anyone consider our event "real enough" and give it a home? Luckily for us, Lisa Pavlopoulous, Manager of Events at the Currier Museum of Art, was taken with the message behind Come Together, and worked hard on our behalf to present our idea to the Board of Directors. She and the museum's staff have been nothing but a delight to work with through this whole process!
Here they are, our liaisons... Lisa and Michelle, Currier Staff Extraordinaire.
Take a look at some of the locations we'll have access to for the photo shoots...they'll take your breath away.

The Winter Garden...one of my all-time favorite spots.

The Currier passes along these words for our brides and grooms:
"The Currier Museum of Art is pleased to be the venue selected by Studio Nouveau for the Coming Together Event, offering a beautiful backdrop for the newly married couples who will be participating in re-creating their wedding day formals. Lisa Pavlopoulos, Manager of Events, felt the museum, rich in history and architecture, would be the perfect set for the couples to create their photographic history via wedding pictures. As visitors stroll through the galleries and enjoy the museum’s internationally-respected collection of art, they will be able to see the wedding couples in their formal attire throughout the museum, including photo shoots taking place in the 1929 Historic Court. Cameras will be snapping away as the newlyweds recreate their first kiss on the landing of the museum’s grand marble staircase, and love will be in the air as couples are surrounded by the master works of Picasso, Matisse, Monet, and O’Keeffe … to name a few.
We wish the couples the best of luck in their future and thank ALL of the vendors involved in “Coming Together” and representing the professionalism of their respective professions."
Words can't even express how thankful we are to Lisa, Michelle, and everyone at the Currier for working with us. They've been more than generous, and this is going to be a great day for everyone, made even better for their participation! Thanks so much to all of you!
