Eleanor & James

A black-tie evening at a stone manor.

The two of us

Our story

We were seated next to each other at a friend’s wedding and spent the whole reception debating the merits of the band. Eight years on, we still haven’t settled it.

This spring we’re gathering everyone we love at a stone manor in the Hudson Valley for a black-tie evening of long dinners, longer toasts, and one first dance we’ve been practicing in the kitchen.
