Rich and Groffman Are Wed in East Hampton

Allison Groffman and Jonathan Rich were married on Saturday at the bride’s parents’ house on Stephen Hand’s Path in East Hampton. A family friend, David Goodman, performed the ceremony, and Rabbi Laurence Groffman, the bride’s uncle, said a prayer.

The evening began with pizza from the Amber Waves Farm mobile oven. Later, guests enjoyed a long-table dinner lighted by chandeliers in the trees. The meal ended with warm Dreesen’s doughnuts.

The bride wore a Naeem Khan dress and carried a bouquet created by Claire Bean. Her maid of honor was Jamie Leeds of Manhattan. Mr. Rich’s best man was his younger brother, Stefan Rich. 

The bride, who will keep her name, is the daughter of Hilary Leff and Elliot Groffman of Manhattan and East Hampton. Her husband’s parents are Diana and Gary Rich of St. Louis. 

Ms. Groffman attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and graduated from Fordham University. She is an assistant buyer for Shopbop, an Amazon subsidiary. Mr. Rich, a men’s accessories buyer for Barney’s, graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder. 

They met at Barney’s. He had been there for nearly nine years and she was an intern. Their relationship blossomed a year later, when, during Hurricane Sandy, they both found themselves at Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan. 

After a wedding trip to Italy, the couple will return home to Manhattan.
