Bride and wedding designer Claire Wilbur created a dramatic wedding space with pipe & drape, creating a ceremony backdrop, a buffet and pool-table area and a coat “room.” A large black and white dance floor was the centerpiece of the event for the dance-loving couple and their friends, who filled the floor well past midnight.
