Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding Will Shut Down New York Airspace…
The Federal Aviation Administration has placed a ban on flights around Astor Courts, where Chelsea’s wedding will take place, she will marry Marc Mezvinsky. Planes are forbidden to fly below 2,000 ft and the ban goes into effect at 3:00 p.m. on Sat and lasts until 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning.
Preparation for the wedding has already started. A huge glass-front tent has been put up on the 50-acre Astor Courts estate to accommodate Chelsea’s 500 guests. Security at Saturday’s (July 31st) wedding on the grounds of Astor Courts (a private, French-style mansion overlooking the Hudson) could cost $200,000 because of all the high-level politicians and global celebrities. The whole wedding will cost about $3 million. The wedding planner is Bryan Rafanelli of Boston. Jeff Leatham, artistic director of the Four Seasons George V hotel in Paris is doing the flowers and Jimmy Vali, president of Vali Entertainment in Norwood, N.J. is coordinating the music. Place settings cost $100 a person and invitations cost $150 a person. There will be a hand-painted runner down the aisle, $6,000 a table setting for food and drink from multiple vendors and $600,000 for air-conditioned tents. Ok, we get the point… Princess Chelsea!
