Lauren and David’s Wedding

Friday August 14th 8PM - 11PM

If guests are in town on Friday evening, they are welcome to stop by for a casual, drop-in gathering to say hello and kick off the weekend with family and friends after the rehearsal dinner.

On August 15th, 2026 at 5:00 PM, Lauren Paddock and David Friedman will exchange their vows to become husband and wife in a beautiful setting. Guests are kindly asked to arrive between 4:30 and 4:55 PM to be seated before the ceremony begins.

Immediately following the ceremony, guests will be guided to a pre-dinner cocktail hour around 5:30 PM, featuring cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and music by the acclaimed 585 String Quartet.

After the cocktail hour, guests will be invited into the Event Center for dinner. The newlyweds, Lauren and David, will rejoin their guests as the celebration continues, sharing a joyful evening together. Dinner will be prepared and plated by Chefs Ashley Perez and Mathew Lawrence, including, of course, cake!

Following dinner, time to hit the dance floor for an evening of music, dancing, and celebration! Guests can enjoy flowing drinks and a full dance floor, with music curated by Marquee Events to carry the night.

For guests under 12, the reception will conclude earlier in the evening, but the night doesn’t have to end. A supervised after-party will begin at 9:00 PM with games, movies, and snacks in a private suite at the Woodcliff Hotel, located just steps from the reception.

If you are among those who would enjoy a little more time to finish a final conversation, or perhaps a quiet nightcap or two, please join us in Suite #651 to wrap up the evening.

On Sunday morning, before guests head home, back to work, or on to honeymoons, there will be one final opportunity to gather and say goodbye. The Friedman family will be hosting brunch in the Woodcliff ballroom from 9:00–11:00 AM. Guests are welcome to enjoy a relaxed meal or simply grab a coffee or bite before heading out.
