An Elegant Waterfront Wedding at the Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle, New York

The first time that Rachel Traylor (31, a footwear designer) and Frank Gratale III (42, a restaurateur) was very special. "We both had this feeling when we first met," Rachel says. "And as corny and cliche as it sounds, when he turned and looked at me coming in, I really felt like time stopped for a moment and I was caught in this freeze-frame with sun coming through the window and Frank looking up at me with that classic smile. It really did take my breath away. His smile is so infectious and warm. It melts my heart every time."When they started wedding planning, one thing was very important to Rachel when looking for a venue."Finding a place on the water was very important to me. I wanted the beauty and tranquility from the water. So naturally, we chose Glen Island. Plus, their guest service is excellent and you truly don't have to worry about anything. Our wedding was unique to us because we chose what we wanted and didn't really follow the 'cookie cutter' options. We wanted our friends and family to really feel as comfortable and as special as we did and enjoy in each part of the day from the venue, to the food, the music, the drinks and all the other little details that went into making the day special."
