A Late Autumn Wedding at The Madison Hotel in Morristown, New Jersey

Theresa and Alex’s late autumn wedding at The Madison Hotel in Morristown, New Jersey felt effortlessly romantic, with just the right amount of drama and warmth woven throughout the day. Subtle hints of Phantom of the Opera added a personal, theatrical touch. I adore Phantom of The Opera so I was freaking out the whole time! In Theresa’s look she wore Christine’s iconic star hair clips tucked into her softly styled curls. The day began with quiet anticipation as Theresa got ready, soaking in the final moments before becoming a wife. Instead of a traditional first look, Theresa and Alex chose a first touch before their ceremony, standing just out of sight from one another. Wrapped in that private pause, they shared a few heartfelt words, grounding themselves and easing any nerves before walking into one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.

Their ceremony took place in The Madison Hotel’s greenhouse space, an intimate setting filled with natural light and a timeless, elegant atmosphere that perfectly complemented the season. As Theresa walked down the aisle, Alex couldn’t hold back his tears—an emotional reaction that set the tone for a ceremony filled with love, connection, and quiet joy. The celebration continued into a lively reception where laughter and personality took center stage. One of the most memorable moments was Theresa’s father-daughter dance, which quickly turned hilarious and playful, filling the room with laughter and applause. Later, during cake cutting, Theresa added to the fun by playfully dotting frosting on Alex’s nose, a moment that perfectly reflected their lighthearted dynamic. The night unfolded with nonstop dancing, heartfelt toasts, and an unmistakable sense that everyone in the room was exactly where they were meant to be—celebrating a love story that was both deeply emotional and wonderfully fun.
