We got married in June at GOC and it was the best day of our lives in every way, largely thanks to the hospitality from the GOC crew. If you're contemplating having your wedding here, DO IT. Truly unreal experience from start to finish. In the months leading up to the wedding, Stella, Chloe and Joe were so flexible and made themselves available every step of the way. From our food tasting, to tap/ cocktail selection - we really felt like we had complete agency. The GOC team helped us build a menu with all of our favorite foods. Everything was so delicious and fresh - so many people complimented the food. Food and drinks were plentiful. The bar staff was lighting fast and had plenty pre-poured - I don't think anyone waited for a drink for more than 5 seconds. Stella was a HUGE support in working with our various vendors. She integrated sweet little personal touches all around the venue - from our table number, to the menus. It feels like she thought of everything. We felt so supported every step of the way. We had our 120 person ceremony on the roof, cocktail hour downstairs, and dinner / dancing upstairs. The space is so flexible and comfortably fits more people than you'd think. We had a full band, a packed dance floor, and still somehow plenty of space to roam. The team flipped the space SO fast between our ceremony and reception. The skyline and bridge view made a stunning backdrop for our ceremony. The staff made sure we had drinks in our hands, and plates at our table. when we went upstairs We were truly blown away. The space is stunning as it and requires so little decor , if any at all. We loved that GOC has table cloths/ chairs/ tableware etc. It's really tough to find a true full service venue in NYC. They really can do it all, which allowed us to be present and focused only on having fun that day. I could go on and on and on, but I'll finish by saying that I'd be happy to talk to anyone about our experience because it was truly so perfect.

We got married October 3rd 24 and struggled trying to find the right person to officiate our day until we came across Jackie and really cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we started chatting she was the utmost professional to every email, enquiry or worry we may have had she squashed easily. The communication was great from the off and I knew we made the right choice! We utilised the services of both Jackie and her husband the photographer Sascha Reinking with their All in One Package and it was the best decision we made for the day! She talked us through every process for the marriage license and met us for the appointment! Had recommendations on locations and great guidance on our vows and the ceremony which she performed so so beautifully! They took the weight and pressure off so much of the day and made it so easy. I implore everyone to reach out to her, and her husband Sascha, to discuss how they can make your day even more special. It truly worked for us and we met people who we loved being a part of our day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking City and Terrace events was hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the very beginning until the very end, Lauren was our saving grace. No question was ever too small, no concern went unanswered, and every challenge was met with a solution. We never once heard the word "no." Instead, Lauren and her team approached everything with a positive, solution-oriented mindset that made us feel completely supported and confident every step of the way. The organization, attention to detail, responsiveness, and overall communication are truly unmatched. We always knew what was happening, what needed to be done, and felt like we were in the best hands possible. And the best part was that on our wedding day, we were able to be fully present because we knew Lauren and her team had every detail handled. Somehow, Lauren and her team brought all our dreams to life, and somehow exceeded them. Our day was everything we had envisioned and so much more, and we truly could not have done it without Lauren and her incredible team. We are forever grateful for everything they did for us and would recommend them 100% to any newly engaged couple. If you want a planner who genuinely cares, advocates for you, and goes above and beyond to make your wedding everything you've imagined, Lauren is the one.

The most perfect wedding venue you can find in NYC. The skyline views, the rooftop, the penthouse, the food, the service, it is all unbeatable. Almost every single guest told us it was the most perfect wedding they've ever gone to. First, the planning process. Eman is the most organized, efficient and professional coordinator you will find. She was there with us every step of the way, guiding us to make all the best choices. On the day of the wedding, it is scary how she is able to get things done. It's clear she has done it a million times and knows exactly what to do to make sure everything goes smoothly. The food - guests still have not stopped raving about the entire cocktail hour, from the sushi station to the sliders. For dinner, the entrees are ACTUALLY delicious - not your typical wedding food at all. And the dessert parade (also super yummy) is such a fun surprise to end the night with. The service - there were so many staff everywhere to help answer questions and give directions, and every single one was patient, kind and helpful. During the dinner, guests said that their water cup was never empty and the server for each table was responsive and accommodating. We never felt like we were just one in a hundred weddings they've done that season. It made all the difference for it to feel like a high-class event. The venue - you won't get views like this anywhere else. The rooftop for a ceremony is so so unique and special. The foyer was the perfect place for cocktail hour, such great vibes. And the penthouse was jaw-dropping gorgeous. The candles and string lights against the nighttime skyline makes for the best backdrop. Again, all the guests were raving about how beautifully it all came together. Ravel made our entire wedding into a perfect night we will never forget. You will not regret it!!

Anna did such a great job, she was professional and worked with me to give me the look that I was envisioning. I usually am too scared to wear false lashes because I feel that my eyes are too small for them but she had the perfect pair for me and offered some advice as to what I should look for. She also used this beautiful purple liner that made my eyes pop- she really knows her stuff and how to enhance your features. She was also such a pleasure to work with. We had great conversation and she really vibbed with the group of girls in the wedding party. Highly recommend for both a stunning look and a fun experience!

She took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony script that had everyone laughing, crying, and totally engaged. On the wedding day, Sam was calm, organized, and brought such great energy to the ceremony—she even helped us coordinate our guests right before the processional!

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!

We aim to work alongside clients to bring an unexpected mix of on trend designs and elegant classic styles. Whether it be an intimate gathering after City Hall or the event of the season, we can't wait to design something special and tailored to you!

Fern Botanical’s “Parties with Fernies” option was perfect for my wedding this June! My venue offered small bud vase centerpieces for a very low cost, which meant I only needed bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. for my wedding. The Parties with Fernies option allowed me to get all of the other florals needed for the wedding, and we ended up purchasing two beautiful large floral arrangements to frame us at the altar, as well as flowers to top our wedding cake with. The team there was so responsive, and created absolutely stunning bouquets, boutonnieres, and arrangements. I shared inspiration and our colors and what they created was perfect and absolutely stunning. My venue also worked with Parties with Fernies (since they’ve worked together in the past) to coordinate so all of the flowers went well together. I was able to get amazing florals for my wedding at a very reasonable price (especially considering how expensive wedding florals can be). I highly recommend the Parties with Fernies option (and Fern Botanical) in general for anyone looking for wedding florals!

We had a COVID wedding and were not sure how much we would even get to party, but Sean completely proved us wrong. He brought the best energy and people still talk about how fun our wedding was. I think we really owe a lot of that to Sean. We booked him for our wedding in DC and it was worth every penny. He helped us curate the whole run of show and he did not miss a single cue. He worked seamlessly with our planner, kept everything flowing, and the music was perfect all night. He’s punctual, incredibly charismatic, professional, flexible, knowledgeable and everything you need and more from a Dj. If we could book him again, we would. Sean really is the real deal.

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.

Serving the New York area since 1991, Steven Brown Caterers provides unmatched creative cuisine, professional service and exceptional value. 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.

We had such a great experience with Steven Brown Caterers when we got married at the Picnic House. They were so easy to work with, friendly, proactive, and made everything seamless. Working at the Picnic House is probably not super easy because it's just one giant room but they made the prep stations invisible and it felt like they took up no space. Wedding food gets a bad wrap and I've had a lot of bland wedding food in my life but their food is delicious! We had people tell us about how much they enjoyed the food months after the wedding! The variety of items that they had to choose from was spectacular and they made this vegetarian bride feel included and like I had plenty to choose from. Would recommend them without reservation! So great!

If you have visited the Foundry, you know how amazing and beautiful it is, but what you don’t know before you work with them is how responsive and helpful they are once you have committed to them. We had about 130 guests and used the main room for the ceremony, the greenhouse room and space outside for the cocktail hour, the courtyard for the reception dinner, the main room again for the dancing, and the greenhouse room again for the after party (11 to midnight). We also rented the Du Val suite for getting ready, and it was a superb space for the groom’s party and extended family to get ready and hang out and also has the most beautiful garden with city views. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and vindicated our immediate love for the Foundry that we developed the first time we toured it, and the Foundry staff are extremely helpful and kind.

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!

Jackie & Sascha | The New York City Elopement Team 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Long Island City, NY
  • Planner
  • Offers 1 service
  • Starts at $1,400

If the thought of eloping to New York City gives you butterflies, go for it! The Big Apple is a city of dreams – incredible skyscrapers, beautiful parks and tree-lined streets, romantic bridges and iconic landmarks. All in a fast-paced city that never stops moving. Just the kind of rush you want on your wedding day. But, native New Yorker or not, where on earth do you begin? That’s where we step in – smooth, right? Because you are who we’re here for.

We found Jackie & Sascha online after deciding to have a micro wedding in NYC. While we knew the city well, we quickly realized we knew nothing about the process of actually getting married there. I originally reached out just for pricing, but after learning about their all-inclusive package, we knew we had found exactly what we were looking for. From the very beginning, they made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel completely manageable. Their package included photography, officiant services, guidance through the entire marriage license process, hair and makeup, florals, transportation, and so much more. Jackie even wrote a beautiful, personalized ceremony for us when I had no idea where to start. Instead of stressing over all the big details, we were able to focus on enjoying our wedding weekend. Their experience is unmatched. Having completed nearly 2,000 weddings throughout New York City, they know the city, the vendors, and the entire process inside and out. Whenever we ran into an obstacle, they already had a solution. When we struggled to find a reception venue, they recommended UVA because they only suggest vendors they’ve personally worked with. It ended up being one of the best decisions we made—our guests are still talking about how incredible our reception was. The day before our wedding I was a complete ball of anxiety, but the moment I saw Jackie at the courthouse, I immediately felt calmer. She walked us through every step, answered every question, and reminded me everything was going to be okay. When our musicians canceled at the last minute, they were already reaching out to trusted contacts to help us find a replacement. Having people with that level of experience and those connections is invaluable. Beyond their professionalism, they are simply wonderful people. They handled family dynamics with kindness, organized our large family photos quickly, kept everything on schedule, and made us feel comfortable all day long. It never felt like we were spending the day with vendors—it felt like we were with friends who genuinely wanted our wedding to be perfect. We’ve only received our sneak peeks so far, and they are absolutely stunning. We already can’t wait to come back to New York someday and book another session with Sascha. If you’re planning an elopement, micro wedding, or full wedding in NYC, I truly cannot recommend Jackie & Sascha enough. They took what could have been one of the most stressful experiences of our lives and made it feel joyful, seamless, and unforgettable. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we will forever be grateful they were part of it.
