This Stylist Bride’s Menorca Wedding Began in a Historic Limestone Quarry and Ended in a Secret Nightclub

Reported by Vogue.

There's a version of a wedding that exists to be photographed, and then there's the kind that actually feels like something. Stylist Amah Modek and entrepreneur Alex Ohebshalom built the latter — across an entire weekend in Menorca, with a limestone quarry, a secret nightclub, and enough considered detail to make even the most jaded wedding guest briefly believe in magic.

The two met in Ibiza in the summer of 2022, seated at the same countryside dinner party through mutual friends. Alex has the more cinematic version of events — a silhouette glowing from a dark corner, an irresistible pull. Amah remembers it with slightly less drama, though she concedes the magnetism was real. Back in New York, a first date at Barbuto confirmed it. The proposal came in 2023, somewhere in the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna, staged around thousands of pears — a private symbol between them — and, improbably, ended with dinner at Osteria Francescana alongside Massimo Bottura. "I still don't entirely believe it happened," Amah said, according to Vogue.

The Dress, The Decks, The Discoteca

The dress came the way the best ones do — accidentally. Amah had planned to go custom, but a spontaneous appointment at Elie Saab with her best friend changed that. A saleswoman produced a gown she'd been saving for the right person; Amah's mother saw a photo and said, "This is you in a dress." They shortened the train, removed the ruffles, and that was that. She finished the look with Manolo Blahnik pumps, her grandmother's vintage bag, a veil by Gigi Burris, and diamond earrings from her mother-in-law. For the welcome party — after a customs disaster killed her original look — Harithand produced a replacement dress in 48 hours, shipped to Barcelona, retrieved the day before the party. Saturday's pool party called for a '70s caftan with exaggerated sleeves, designed with Mallorcan brand Kettel Atelier. The woman dressed all weekend.

The ceremony unfolded at Torre Saura, a historic palace, under ancient trees, with Alex entering to a traditional Persian groom's song and Amah walking to Endless Love flanked by both parents. Dinner followed, designed by chef Tomas Abellan, punctuated by a live performance of Moon River from Alex's sister and Amah's grandfather's wife at the piano. Then Amah changed into a slip dress she'd co-designed, stepped back onto the floor, and the couple were showered in petals during Gol Berizin, a Persian tradition meaning exactly that. The night's final act: guests were led to a transformed historic stone structure reborn as Sa Roqueta — their own retro Ibizan discoteca, multiple rooms, multiple DJs, multiple moods — opened by Amah's uncle, legendary DJ Stretch Armstrong. They danced until sunrise.

Wedding planning was handled by Liz Linkleter and her team, who Amah credits with translating an ambitious vision into something guests could actually live in. The soul of the weekend, though, was Lithica — a former limestone quarry turned cultural preserve that served as the Friday venue. "Raw, dramatic, cinematic, and very romantic," Amah called it. That's the thing about building something from real feeling rather than a mood board: even the venue ends up meaning something.

When every element — the location, the clothes, the music, the chaos — is chosen like it actually matters, the wedding stops being an event and becomes a story worth telling.
