Claire & Daniel’s stunning Zurich city wedding Written by: Claire Karwowski

Intro
Joyful. Beautiful. Personal. It was important that our wedding reflected us as a couple, while bringing together guests from across Europe and the US. CM weddings understood what we wanted. From a champagne bicycle that served our party on the way to the reception, to the Hotel Storchen dining room which they intimately filled with hundreds of candles - it was the perfect combination of fun and stunning. We trusted them to take care of us and the people we love and they did that beyond measure.
- 88 Number of guests
- August 2022 Date
- USA and Switzerland Origin of the couple
About the day
CM weddings organized time between our ceremony and reception, where we could celebrate alone. We had a picture-perfect seat at the Storchen bar where we toasted to each other with the same champagne glasses my parents toasted with on their wedding day. This time together was a small detail that meant everything to me. This moment was only to be matched by returning to our guests and seeing how they, regardless of culture or language, were fully integrated, laughing, talking - forging their own relationships.
Why choosing Switzerland
Prior to our marriage, I lived and worked in New York City. Daniel moved around from Basel to Paris to Frankfurt. After 7 years of long distance we decided to begin our life together in Zurich. It had been such a special place for us to visit over the years, that we wanted to share it with our friends and family, especially those who had yet to experience a gorgeous summer on Lake Zurich.
