Planning a wedding is stressful. I had a tendency to second-guess everything I picked. But one thing that never changed was us picking Pinstripes as our venue. Leah is friendly and made the entire process stress free. From the menu selection to the order of the day, Leah helped us get everything in order. We did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at Pinstripes. On our wedding day Leah and her team were super attentive and helped with everything. This team went above and beyond helping our guests (and us) and making sure everything was going great all day long. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. When we see guests who were at the wedding, we still hear about how wonderful the food was and how great the set-up was at Pinstripes. I will recommend them every time someone asks!
