We chose an all-inclusive elopement package that involved multiple photography sessions around NYC with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and NYC City Hall. The pictures are beautiful. They caught our good angles and we actually look pretty slim and fit and youthful!!! If you are looking to elope in NYC, these guys make it easy. You can skip the city hall line and meet up with NY 1 minute weddings. They do the ceremony, bring flowers, a violinist, and all the photographs. Totally flexible with whatever you need. Really great crew. I'm happy to say that we had a beautiful day with them and that it was extremely elegant but affordable.

She was easy to follow up when I had forgotten and very communicative during the times details needed to be finalized. When I was indecisive, she always knew where to step in and provided the perfect solution. We played around with the ideas of rose petal holders and a huge bow for our reserved seats during the ceremony, and she custom made them for me!! A huge perk as well is that she has a diverse inventory of decor that added the cherry on top to the ambiance of our venue. The dedication and passion she has towards her work is inspiring. At the end of the day, she cares how you feel about every decision you're making which made it easy for us to trust that everything would turn out beautiful. When we look back on our wedding day, it wouldn't have been half as perfect as it turned out if we didn't book Belle Petal Events.

The pre-ceremony planning process was easy, enjoyable, and reassuring. Honestly, Alex was our first and last call when searching for an officiant, and we knew within minutes that he was the right fit. Alex took the time to understand us as a couple and effortlessly incorporated elements that matched our personalities and overall wedding vibe. Our ceremony felt romantic, meaningful, tasteful, and incredibly personal. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and heartfelt it was. Alex played such an important role in setting the tone for our wedding day, and we are so thankful for that. Thank you, Alex, for making our ceremony so special. We highly recommend Alex and the OfficiantNYC team to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding officiant.

Our ceremony meant everything to us, and because we come from different religious backgrounds, it was important to find the right balance of spiritual, meaningful, and personal without feeling overdone. Alex exceeded every expectation. He wrote a truly beautiful and heartfelt ceremony that reflected us perfectly, handled our no-electronics announcement seamlessly, and was so thoughtful that he even stepped out of the frame for our first-kiss photos. Every detail showed how much care and intention he brings to his work. Alex was an absolute pleasure to have with us on one of the most important days of our lives. We couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Alex!

The flower arrangements fit in our historic waterfront mansion wedding theme beautifully! (She recommended this venue to us btw!) Months later, our guests still compliment on our food and say it was the best wedding venue they have ever been!

When we met with Terrian the connection was immediate. Even my husband liked her and he's a tougher critic than me! Throughout the planning process she morphed from a planner to a friend talking me off the ledge when needed and giving me a dose of reality when my visions got bigger than our pockets! However, my vision was executed beautifully and Terrian was also very creative with her ideas - we made a great team!

I recently used A&R Party Essentials for my bridal show and absolutely loved working with them…read more Their professionalism, quality of work, and unbeatable pricing made choosing them an easy decision. About a month before my wedding, I was thrown a curveball that completely changed my original ceremony plan. My mother and I suddenly found ourselves scrambling to find a beautiful backdrop on very short notice. I reached out to Michael, and I'm so glad I did. Even though he was fully booked for the day of my wedding due to the last-minute request, he still went out of his way to come the day before and set everything up. The backdrop was stunning--perfectly sized (especially with my tall husband!)--and it made our ceremony photos truly pop. It was elegant, eye‑catching, and exactly what I had hoped for. I'm incredibly grateful to Michael and his team for consistently delivering impeccable service, even under pressure. I look forward to working with A&R Party Essentials again in the future.

I've worked with La Bella Planners (LBP) twice. Both times I was so happy that I had hired them…read more They made sure I enjoyed my events as much as the guests did. My husband and I decided to get married in Chicago. I wanted a simple wedding with good food and beverages and originally decided to do all of the planning. I had a bare minimum list of what needed to be done and I had a fixed budget. With 2 and a half months to go and lots left to do I called LBP. They delivered a wedding that was everything I wanted, but better. I was able to focus on being a bride. I enjoyed the details that they put in, the regular updates via email and calls, and the day of service. I was blown away by the decor, LBP was absolutely right about the florals. The services provided included: - budgeting with what was left of the original budget to include things I had left out: - florals - place cards - menus - day of food options - recommending hair, makeup, photographer, florist, and transportation company - a trip to chicago to meet with all vendors - review of all contracts - day of coordination (included runs for red bull, wrangling groomsmen, dealing with all vendor questions) - coordination of transportation for bridal party and out of town guests - working with my officiant (friend) to ensure she felt prepared In 2011 my father and I planned a surprise party in NY for my mother. At the time I lived in Seattle and he was in NY. LBP went above and beyond to handle all our asks including: - food everyone would eat - a location with parking - Long Island venue (for ease of commute) - a well stocked bar (my family loves wine but I prefer bourbon) - a Jazz band to sing "Fever" during dinner - a Haitian DJ - 11/11/11 event date The party was amazing, they delivered everything and then some (flowers, theme, favors, tipping guidelines, ATM runs!, a children's room for some energetic cousins)
