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 Lauren and the City & Terrace team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Lauren brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

Our wedding at Ravel was nothing short of extraordinary. From our very first phone call with Eman to the very last dance, the entire team made us feel supported, celebrated, and completely at ease. Our wedding planner, Eman, was an absolute star. Her organization, creativity, and calm presence kept everything on track. She understood our vision from day one and executed every detail flawlessly. We truly could not have asked for a better guide throughout this journey. My bridal attendant, Mrianda, was a lifesaver. She anticipated every need before I even had to ask — fixing my dress, keeping me hydrated, calming my nerves, and making sure I felt beautiful and comfortable all day long. Her kindness and attentiveness made a world of difference. A special thank-you goes to Anna and Joe, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the entire day ran smoothly. Whether it was coordinating timing, helping guests, or managing transitions, they handled everything with professionalism and genuine care. We felt so well taken care of, and our families noticed too. The venue itself is stunning — from the views, THE VIEWS, to the ambiance to the seamless flow of each part of the celebration. But what truly sets The Ravel apart is its incredible team. They made our wedding not just beautiful, but stress-free and joy-filled. Our guests were talking about our wedding for weeks after. All raving about the views, food, cocktail hour, and the overall incredible time they had. If you’re considering Ravel for your big day, do it. You’ll be treated like family, your vision will be brought to life, and you’ll walk away with memories that feel nothing short of magical.

Long Island City, NY
  • Florist

Imagination Enthusiasts. Party Animals. Sustainability Focused. Foam-Free Floristry. Bespoke designs curated to create custom works of floral art. 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!

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.

I’m a New York based DJ who brings the dance floor to life, mixing timeless classics with today’s favorites to create moments your guests will talk about long after the lights come on.

From smooth cocktail hours to turnt up receptions, I bring the music, the mic presence, and the energy that make the celebration feel nothing short of extraordinary Available for weddings nationwide and abroad!

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. Idk what our wedding would’ve been without him.

Awarded Best of Zola
Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!

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!!

Long Island City, NY
  • Caterer

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.

“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.”

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.

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.

  • 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.

We had our wedding at Sound River Studios and hired Una as our planner. She works for the venue so there is no one more knowledgeable. She was very helpful and accommodating to any request we had. The wedding went very smoothly with her coordination. Highly recommend Una.

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.
