“Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors. We would highly recommend Sound River Studios to any couple looking to have a memorable NYC wedding!”

“Working with Jackie Reinking, the New York Elopement Officiant, was an absolute joy. Her communication throughout the process was timely, informative and reassuring. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly second to none. Jackie helped keep my husband calm as he waited for me during our first look, and she also expertly managed the young passers-by who were eager to watch our ceremony. It felt like having a close friend officiate our wedding. Jackie wrote a beautiful ceremony tailored to us as a couple, incorporating readings we had chosen. The entire ceremony was so much fun and really special. Being from the UK, the process of securing our marriage license would have been overwhelming, but Jackie broke it down into simple steps and made the experience feel like an adventure. We are so grateful to Jackie for helping make our wedding day perfect in every way.”

“Lauren was an absolute life-saver throughout our wedding journey. Her organization is truly a superpower. I have genuinely never seen anything like it. From timelines to vendor coordination to small details I never even thought about, she handled everything with a level of care and precision that eased so many of my anxieties. She worked with every vendor on the day of the wedding, coordinated absolutely everything, and took literally every task off my hands. She also helped bring our décor to life so beautifully. Knowing she was behind the scenes handling it all allowed me to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. Any time even the smallest issue came up, Lauren handled it instantly, calmly, and with such confidence that I felt completely supported. She reassured me at every turn and made the entire experience feel so much lighter. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her. On the wedding day, Lauren and her husband were phenomenal. They made sure everything ran smoothly so my husband and I could focus on celebrating. Her husband even helped bustle my dress, which was so kind and so helpful. I tell every newly engaged couple the same thing: get a coordinator, whether it is month-of or day-of, because it will completely transform your wedding experience. And if you are lucky enough to work with Lauren and City and Terrace, you are in the best possible hands. She is the one you want by your side”

“where do I even begin? Having our wedding with Ravel events exceeded our expectations more than I ever could have imagined. From start to finish everything was perfection thanks to our amazing coordinator that the Ravel provided us with Eman. From day one Eman was there to guide me and support me through the whole wedding process. everyone was saying I was one of the most chill brides and I honestly think it’s because of how easy Eman and the Ravel made this experience! On the wedding day, I was assigned a bridal attendant, Jadelyn. I wasn't quite sure what to expect since we had never met before, but she quickly became one of the highlights of my day. She was kind, attentive, hardworking, and always one step ahead of anything I needed. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease, as though I had another friend by my side throughout the day. The food, the views, the service… No notes. It was a dream. The week leading up to the wedding I was really nervous since the weather was predicting rain the day of the wedding. Eman gave me many different options to make sure my day would go exactly the way I wanted despite rain, but she was still very hopeful and positive that it would clear up. Fortunately, for us, no rain, beautiful clear skies, and our dream rooftop ceremony was able to happen. Plus, we got the most beautiful sunset. The thing about the Ravel is that it faces the city so you get the most beautiful views of Manhattan. Views that guest still are raving about and almost every guest has a new profile picture on their Instagram and Facebook of them at the Ravel with the view! And top it off the night was so perfect that Eman was able to open the roof of the penthouse for us to have the most dreamy night under the stars. If you’re thinking about having your wedding at the Ravel, do not even double think it. It was the most perfect planning experience and the most perfect night. Thank you to everyone at the Ravel, especially Eman and Jadelyn!”

“When I work with clients for full-service planning, my job is to source all of their vendors and bring them recommendations. This time, my clients introduced me to Holly, saying she had done a wedding for their friends. I was hesitant to reach out, as I didn't think she matched the style they wanted. Well, I'm happy to say I was proven wrong. Holly really listened to my clients and understood their vision. We gave her room to be creative and she created something better than anything the three of us could've imagined. Not only did she provide incredible florals (and produce for tablescapes), but she also did candles and draping. And a chuppah that honored the groom's tradition and the bride's desire for something unique and colorful. The best part? She was so thoughtful and understanding of the budget. Holly was an integral part of this wedding and I can't wait to work with her again!”

“I don’t know what magic Fern Botanica puts into their flowers, but they delivered the most impressive array of bouquets I’d ever seen in my whole life. We ordered bouquets a la carte from them (two bridal and 16 bridesmaids!), and gave them a color palette and inspiration image to work from—and I cannot even believe how stunning the result was. Our budget was limited, so we reused the bouquets as centerpieces for the tables, and Fernies also helped us figure out the best size vases, so we could transition them easily. Also, we were gifted flower preservation, and the artist immediately asked who our florist was because she was so impressed by the flowers. That’s how you know it’s good. I will absolutely be using them again for everything from causal arrangements to special events. The team there has such an incredible eye and style, they did all the heavy lifting, and we got to enjoy the rewards of people complimenting our beautiful flowers. Win/win.”

“We had our wedding on the rooftop of Greats of Craft in September. We COULD NOT be happier with how the event turned out!!! First and foremost, Joe & Stella are awesome to work with - such friendly and genuine people. They made the planning process as stress-free as it could be, by being communicative, dependable, and accommodating. We already loved the venue, but meeting with them made it an easy decision to choose GoC. We held a mini-ceremony and the reception on the rooftop for 60 people. We wanted it to be less formal (like an “elevated party”) but still trendy, and GoC checked all the boxes. The vibes and setting were PERFECTION: the backdrop of the Queensboro Bridge at dusk for our ceremony; cute string lights with a brick wall and large screen for our slideshow, perfect weather, plenty of room for people to mingle, sit down to eat, and dance. The ENTIRE GoC team/staff were amazing. They were attentive, friendly, and took great care of us and all of our guests. Shout out to Trey and Eddie!! We went with in-house catering for the food - Chef Chris is the best and everything tasted delicious!!! We got SO many compliments on the food from our guests. We still continue to rave about GoC being such a gem of an event space. Trying to find a reasonably-priced, high-quality wedding venue in NYC is difficult and sometimes discouraging. We feel so fortunate that we were able to have our wedding celebration here, it felt like a complete DREAM!!! Thank you, Joe & Stella and the whole GoC crew!!”

“This was a second wedding, and we wanted it to be our way. Because we have NEVER had a bad meal at a Stephen Starr restaurant, we immediately decided to use Starr Catering. Best decision ever. We worked with Brittany Glover, who was professional, accommodating, and understood that we wanted an outstanding food experience, both for us and for our guests. We also wanted a pescatarian/vegetarian menu, which we thought would be a bit of a challenge; but Brittany gave us so many options that it never even registered that we didn't have meat. The planning was so much fun, the tasting dinner was spectacular, and we didn't have to think about a thing at the wedding itself. The catering was breathtakingly beautiful, and SO DELICIOUS. Our guests absolutely swooned over the food, and are still talking about how wonderful it was. The presentation was superb, the service outstanding, the open bar with a signature cocktail (Aperol spritz) was fantastic, the burrata bar at the cocktail hour killed, the hot stuff was hot and the cold stuff was cold, and the integration of other one-off requests of ours (one relative wanted light beer, we used a favorite baker for the wedding cake, Eric likes good rye, etc.) was seamless. Honestly, we wouldn't have changed a thing. We would use Starr Catering again in a heartbeat. It's our second anniversary today, and we're so grateful to Starr Catering for helping us have the wedding we wanted. T”

The day you get married to your best friend isn’t about the size of the venue or the number of guests. It’s not about the flavor of the cake or flower arrangements. It’s simply about two people madly in love with each other, the intimate connection they share, and the memories they create along the way. After the food has been eaten, the presents have been opened, and the dress is hanging in your closet, your wedding day will still be with you – in your memories and in the images captured that day.

“Sascha was so wonderful to work with!! I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of options we had available to us. I ended up narrowing down by the type of style I saw within photographers portfolio's. Sascha seemed to capture couples in their natural-at-ease compatibility. I reached out to Sascha and throughout our entire communication he was prompt at responding. We booked 4 months in advance and I did have an idea of the type of photo I was looking for. Sascha welcomed my location suggestions and we mapped out a game plan. The day arrived and though we were nervous to be in front of a camera, Sascha made us feel at ease and helped us feel comfortable in front of the lens. Sascha was easy to banter with and was flexible with angles and shots. We left Sascha after the shoot feeling excited and anxious on how well our vision translated to photos. When we got the photos back we could not be more pleased!! They came out exactly how we wanted them to and I couldn't have been more grateful to have found someone as talented, gracious and kind as Sascha.”

Our individual approach means that our couples receive the personalized and dedicated touch they deserve for their big day! Our experienced team of event planners are extremely passionate about their work. Attentive and precise, they will make your vision, big, or small into a reality.

““In my position as the assistant to the Chairman & Founder of a Fortune 1000 company, Steven Brown Caterers is the only caterer we use. Over the years the entire company from the chefs to the wait staff, to the management have become so much more than co-workers. I count them all as friends. So, when I married Frank in 2013, there was no question about who would be coming to spoil me on that special day. The food has always been the best in the city, but food is different things to different people, so I was anxious to see if my guests enjoyed it as much as I always have. That question was answered when half of them left clutching their contact details in hand. The other half called or e-mailed later to ask me for their contact details. 😉 Of course, the food was not the only thing that went right. Everything. Went right. From the table and tabletop rentals to the wait staff doing their usual magic by making every single guest feel as if they were the only person at the party. I’m not exaggerating when I say they got as many compliments as the bride, and nothing made me happier. Peace of mind on your wedding day is a luxury not many have, but we had it and we owe that to Steven Brown Caterers.””

I had the pleasure of getting to know Dish a few years back at my first job and had told my contact at the time, Bonnie, that I would definitely be back when it was time for me to host my big event - my wedding. After reconnecting with the Dish team, in particular speaking with Evalyn, we couldn't have felt more confident that it was the right fit for our big day. From the personalized menu, to the in house tasting, and the amazing day of coordinator, Cortney, the most important and expensive party we ever threw (and likely ever will) was in the best hands. When any changes or adjustments came up the team was eager to help make our vision come to life. A few weeks before when I wanted to do another itinerary run through, Cortney, was not just game, but so enthusiastic and supportive. As small things came up day of, Evalyn and Cortney were on it and as we were packing up, the whole Dish team helped us pack up and carry out our numerous flower arrangements. We truly couldn't have pulled this off without Dish and are so grateful for their partnership. Thank you, Dish!”

“The Foundry is a beautiful venue and so easy to work with! Angela and Lindsey were so helpful and responsive. We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful setting, it was just perfect. My ONLY complaint is that even though they do not book any other events for the same time, they charge extra to book any rooms in addition to the main space and courtyard.”

The views from the ballroom were stunning, but the food was what everyone talked about for weeks after the wedding. Mike and Liz truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect.

“Brittany was such a pleasure to work with. Not only was she an incredible make up artist for my bridal party, she also made the getting ready experience fun and easy going. She was able to doll up 5 different women, all with different skin and preferences. Each person in my bridal party left looking so beautiful and polished, I couldn’t have asked for better glam from Brittany! Her skin prep was on point, she used top of the line products for both skin prep and makeup. And I cannot fail to mention that she is truly an amazing person. She connected with all of us, checking in with us along the way making sure we were comfortable with her services. My mother and MiL felt so at ease with her, and it was so emotional to see how beautiful they looked. We all looked fabulous, I can’t wait to get glammed up by her again in the future.”
