Just Say Yes

Kira and Dmitri's Dream Wedding at Carnegie Hall

Andrew Carnegie and Louise Whitfield were married on April 22, 1887, in a quiet ceremony attended by a small number of family and friends. Immediately afterwards, they boarded a ship for their honeymoon in Great Britain—a trip that first inspired Carnegie to consider building his own music hall.

To celebrate the story of Andrew and Louise Carnegie, one couple hosted its wedding at the Hall on April 22, 2022—for free! Out of more than 800 submissions, Kira and Dmitri of Boston, Massachusetts, were selected as the grand-prize winners of our Just Say Yes contest. Their creative musings on love and the meaning of music reflected the Carnegies’ story and the very foundation on which the Hall stands today.
