A Rooftop Garden Wedding at Le Jardin sur Madison: Winny & Zach

Some weddings shout; Winny and Zach’s hummed. One hundred guests, a rooftop garden on Madison Avenue, and a day designed like the city itself was on the guest list — getting ready inside The Fifth Avenue Hotel, portraits through Madison Square Park, and a ceremony above it all at Le Jardin sur Madison with dinner by Daniel Boulud’s team.

This is the intimate New York City wedding done at the highest level — every room with a point of view, every hour unhurried.

Getting Ready at The Fifth Avenue Hotel

The morning began inside The Fifth Avenue Hotel — all jewel-box wallpaper, pink corridors, and rooms that look like a novel. Winny with her girls in white, the Jenny Yoo gown hanging against a lacquer-blue closet, and no reason to rush any of it.

The First Look

Zach waited under the iron garden domes on the hotel’s terrace — Madison Avenue humming twenty floors down — and the first look folded into an hour of portraits that never felt posed.

Portraits Through NoMad

Then out into the city — Madison Square Park’s fountain and benches, a crosswalk or two, one yellow cab because it would have been wrong not to, and rooftops with the Empire State Building looking over Zach’s shoulder.

The Ceremony at Le Jardin sur Madison

A hundred of their favorite people, a rooftop garden at Le Jardin sur Madison, and florals in every color Winny asked for — pink, purple, blue, and green against the skyline. They signed the license at a quiet table, then said the real words out loud with strings from Art-Strings carrying over the city.

Family, All Together

Family portraits happened right on the rooftop, everyone framed by those color-drenched arrangements from The Mini Rose — both families, all the parents, and a parasol or two when the sun leaned in.

The Reception

Dinner by Daniel Boulud’s team, toasts that ran warm and long, a first dance under wood beams, and then the night took over — Winny in a second look, a sunset that performed on cue, and the two of them slipping out to the roof one last time with the city all lit up.

The Vendors

A day like this one is a team sport. Endless gratitude to the crew who built it.
