We love finding new and beautiful New Jersey barns that are available as event venues. The rustic wooden beams and the wide open layouts make them the perfect destination for wedding receptions and other celebrations.

We recently provided a classic globe light treatment at the Woods Edge Farm for Elin and CJ. They had a vision in mind of a simple, understated lighting design that would not only provide functional light, but make the barn more intimate.

We used globe lights like these (also known as bistro lights and market lights):

And created this lighting treatment:

It takes lots of extra time to achieve these even, symmetrical swags of globe lights, but the end result is well worth it. Our amber LED uplighting added more warmth and ambient light in the room, and also highlighted the hay bale wall, which the farm uses to partition the event space.

Huge thanks to Elin and CJ for choosing us to be a part of their big day! Thank you also to Amy and the rest of the wonderful team at Woods Edge Farm.

Eggsotic Events partnered with The Heart Bandits to create a whimsical, personalized marriage proposal for Natan (Nate) and Caroline at the View of the World Terrace Club in the Financial District of NYC.

Marvin and Michele Velasquez created The Heart Bandits, a marriage proposal and romantic event planning company, and have since planned proposals for clients from all over the world. Their unique line of work has been featured in The New York Times.

Nate's proposal featured a heart that we custom-produced for the proposal. It featured a beautiful love poem that Nate wrote for Caroline, which read as follows:

To my most beautiful and better half!

As I look into the future as far as I can see,
I can see nothing except you being with me.
Through your eyes I only see that you are the one.

I love you since the first moment I saw you
Every time I think about you I see an amazing heart!
In your smile I see you love and your perfection!

You are in all of my dreams whether I'm awake or asleep,
My love for you is so deep that there are no words to describe it.

The Lord has made our paths meet forever.
He has an amazing plan for our lives together.

Today I'm not just telling you how much I love you!
But to ask you to be together from now on and forever.

I ask you permission to take your heart to be with me.
I promise to take care of you, and always guide you in love and wisdom.

With very deep affection this is how I choose to be with you forever

Nate

Along with this beautiful custom heart, Eggsotic provided LED wireless lighting, large floral arrangements with white roses and white orchids, and an aisle made of simple orchid arrangements, LED pillar candles, and pewter lanterns.

Nate led Caroline to the View of the World Terrace Club, then surprised her by arriving at this beautiful setting:

From a production perspective, this event was such an interesting challenge: the logistics of making sure that every detail was perfect, and that our install crew was gone before the couple arrived. Also, every element we used had to be designed to stay safely in place on a windy rooftop terrace.

When we arrived to break down the lighting and decor, we found Nate and Caroline, newly engaged and still absolutely beaming about Nate's proposal. Congratulations to Nate and Caroline, and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together!

A huge thank you to Jashim Jalal Photography for sharing such beautiful photos of the proposal! See more of Jashim's work on his website and blog.
