Some couples choose a venue. Others return to one.
When Lynden and Jacob began planning their wedding, they were living in Texas, but the room they kept coming back to was 65 floors above Midtown Manhattan. Lynden’s grandparents had danced at the Rainbow Room, and the stories had been passed down long enough to become part of the family's own history.
Celebrating their wedding in that room meant stepping into it. The Art Deco interiors, the skyline through the windows, the dance floor at the center: all of it carried a memory that belonged to their family before it belonged to them.
A Celebration of Color and Timeless New York Glamour
The design followed the same instinct: honor the room, then make it personal.
"Lynden and Jacob's wedding at the Rainbow Room was a joyful celebration of color and timeless New York glamour," says planner Jordana George, founder of Jordana Marie Events. "Lush florals, vibrant hues, and gleaming gold accents brought their vision to life while paying homage to the venue's storied history."
Rather than the restrained palette often chosen for a landmark space, the couple went toward color, with gold running through the room as a connecting thread.
"Working alongside David Beahm and his entire team to design and bring Lynden and Jacob's vision to life was an incredible experience," George says. "Having the privilege to reimagine a space as beautiful as the Rainbow Room so personally for our couple was truly special. From lush florals and vibrant colors to gold accents throughout the chairs, bar, flatware, linens, and chargers, every detail reflected their vision while honoring the venue's storied history. Lynden and Jacob truly made the Rainbow Room their own."
Making the Room Their Own
By the end of the night, the dance floor their grandparents once knew belonged to a new generation of the family.
That is what the Rainbow Room does best: it carries nearly a century of New York celebrations, and still makes room for one more.
