lthough they live in Texas, Todd Fiscus (47 and the owner and creative director of
Todd Events; left) and Gonzalo Ceron (49 and the owner of Ceron Salon) were
certain that no place but New York City would do for their epic wedding weekend.
“We chose New York because no city is more glamorous,” Todd says. And they
would know—the couple is no stranger to swank soirees. Looking to recreate the polished
vibe of an old-school supper club, Ceron and Todd outfitted their wedding with a masculineyet-elegant color palette of black, gold and cream with pops of cobalt blue. Drawing on
Todd’s endless industry connections and his own talented event team, the couple threw an
over-the-top New Year’s Eve bash for the ages. From a floral wall made of 9,220 garden roses,
hydrangeas, peonies, ranunculus, sweet peas and lisianthus to a surprise performance of “New
York, New York” at midnight, Todd and Ceron pulled out all the stops—in serious style. —MO
the couple’s style “Ceron loves to dress
up­—he would wear a tux every day if he could!”
Todd says. The couple donned black tuxedos
by their favorite designer, Tom Ford. the place

but we’re traditionalists at heart,” Todd notes.
