When Danielle and Jesse chose Crystal Plaza in Livingston for their June 20, 2026 wedding, they had a clear vision: bring the outside in and fill the space with color, life and romance. Vibrant shades of pink, purple, and blue woven throughout lush greenery and colorful florals transformed the elegant venue into something that felt, as Danielle described it, like an enchanted garden under the chandeliers. Bridesmaids wore a mix of elegant pink shades that tied the whole vision together, and the dance floor energy matched the room’s brightness all night long.
Their Story
Jesse and Danielle’s love story began in the Hamptons. Jesse was visiting his friend Alec Rogers, while Danielle was staying with her friend Jamie Rogers at the Rogers family home. Spending the weekend together, everyone could see the spark between them, and the rest was history! What started as a summer weekend became the beginning of forever.
The Proposal
On a sunny, beautiful day in Boca Raton, Florida, Jesse and Danielle got engaged on the beach. With the ocean as their backdrop and the sun shining down on them, Jesse asked Danielle to spend forever together, making an already perfect day one they would never forget.
Choosing the Venue
“We chose Crystal Plaza because our best friend and maid of honor’s family has owned it for many years. They truly are the best in the business! We have celebrated so many special occasions there over the years, and we always dreamed of having our own wedding there. It felt like the perfect place to start forever.”
