The venue that you choose for your weddings sets the tone for the entire experience.  Case in point,  The Arsenal in Central Park.  Located next to the Central Park Zoo, this historic building was originally built as an ammunition storehouse for New York State’s National Guard and was once used as a makeshift zoo housing animals on loan from P.T. Barnum.  The rooftop has a fabulous view of Fifth Avenue and the Zoo’s Sea Lions while the third floor Arsenal Gallery offers shelter from Spring rain.  This elegant but quirky Manhattan address had everything that Matt & Jennifer wanted for their DIY wedding.  It was no surprise that the bridal party was also an incredible pool of talent.  Christine Rossdale of iHeart Weddings & Events created the tea party themed tablescapes and floral designs while Brenda Rojas created the brides gown and bridesmaids dresses.  Nova Catering & Events provided the sumptuous food and the wedding cake was by Made in Heaven Cakes.
