A Beyoncé-Inspired Wedding Weekend to Remember

An inside look at this show-stopping celebration from the GP team

When we got the call that we’d be catering a Beyoncé-themed wedding weekend in New York City, we knew we were in for something special. And when Amanda DiUglio, our Senior Event Director and in-house wedding planning expert, heard about the couple’s choreographed first dance? “Pure excitement!” she recalls. “Once we heard of the choreographed first dance, we fell in love even more with the couple.”

The multi-day celebration was featured in Brides, and we were honored to be part of the magic. With events that spanned venues and vibes, the weekend was full of joy, glamour, and delicious moments — from personalized cocktails to creative service touches that made the couple’s vision come to life.

Personalized Touches and Signature Sips

From the custom Pink Pony cocktail to tray-passed hors d’oeuvres served on bespoke inserts featuring the couple’s logo, every detail of the catering experience was crafted to reflect their style and story. “They created a logo for the wedding and we were able to pull in little touches throughout the celebration,” Amanda notes. These thoughtful, personalized elements are part of what makes wedding catering not just memorable, but meaningful.

Seamless Collaboration Across Time Zones

With the couple living in England, collaboration was key — and working with planner Lauren was a dream. “Lauren is an exceptional planner and very collaborative in her approach,” says Amanda. “Since the couple lived in England, we worked hand in hand with her to make sure their vision came to life. So when the clients were in town, we were able to quickly and efficiently make decisions and bring it all together.”

That kind of trust and communication is what allows us to navigate the complexities of multi-day, multi-venue events — and to do it with grace and good humor.

Hospitality That Hits All the Right Notes

From the first moment to the final toast, our team was focused on warm, professional hospitality and impeccable service. While there wasn’t a major behind-the-scenes challenge to report — “the night was really smooth!” Amanda shared — it’s a testament to our planning, preparation, and partnership with the full vendor team.

We’re thrilled to see this extraordinary celebration spotlighted in Brides, and we’re so proud of the role Amanda and our team played in bringing it to life.
