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.

Working with Xin has been an absolute pleasure - the best decision I have made! It was important for me that the entire experience of coordinating this baby shower be as stress-free as possible. Xin has gone above and beyond to respond back to my inquiries timely, suggest ideas without bulldozing over my vision, and has applied her impeccable eye for detail flawlessly (the photos attached speak for themselves!). She is such an honest and kind soul, that she even really rolled up her sleeves the day of the event & cleaned up after the guests. We're looking forward to coordinating a stunning baptism with her this Summer!

I got married here on New Years Eve 2016. It was a memorable day that could not have gone any…read moresmoother. We originally spoke with Gary about our day's details and he listened, took notes and paid attention. I truly thank him for being there throughout the day to make sure all of our hired vendors were on time and on task. He even greeted my guests as they walked in! Pointed them in the right direction when someone was lost, and helped pass sparklers out for our send off at the end of the night. Being an event planner and decorator myself - it was hard to find a venue that pretty much let you have the freedom to decorate and hire outside vendors to get the job done according to my own standards. There, they let us do as we pleased. Everyone hired had to have insurance and show proof. - they do that everywhere else, so it wasn't an issue. I must say, we were assured by Gary's professionalism and courtesy that we were in good hands. Although I work here NOW, the price I paid for the Yacht Club was affordable (even then) for a New Years Eve wedding. I paid less than $5,400 for a wedding with 115guests. That includes food, dessert, liquor, and service. I know it took a while to write this review. But, we want to take a moment to thank Gary and his team at the East Rockaway Yacht Club. Mainly for working with us for what we needed and wanted for our Wedding day. That will never be forgotten. I highly recommend the East Rockaway Yacht Club for ALL events... and no, I'm not saying that because I work there now. I love the way the staff makes you feel like you're at home. It's the comfort. I highly recommend this establishment.

My Fiancé and I recently hired them to do the decor, photography, and videography of our Engagement Party and we couldn't be happier with the results. There wasn't a single person at our party of almost 200 people, who did not compliment on the how beautiful our stage and hall looked. And as for photo and video, please see the fantastic results for yourself in the attached pictures. Vishal and his team are truly dedicated to making your vision come to life. My Fiancé and I met with them several times to brainstorm different ideas for how we wanted our stage to look on the day of the event and Vishal was open to hearing our ideas and sharing his expert recommendations with us as well. In the end, the decor resulted in being even better than we had imagined! Royal Elite Event's main goal is to make you happy and you can bet they know how to deliver! We would definitely recommend using them for future events.

Janet was incredible before and at our wedding. Not only did a friend of ours who is also getting…read moremarried soon ask us for her info while we were still at the wedding, but even the bridal attendant at our venue said that Janet was wonderful, which was especially meaningful to us since she also told us that often the day-of coordinator and bridal attendant end up stepping on each other's toes a bit, which was not at all the case here. She kept everything and everybody on track, and there wasn't even the slightest hiccup of any kind throughout the entire day. Our parents initially weren't entirely on board with the idea of a day-of coordinator, but relented after the day went so smoothly. We were all able to fully enjoy the wedding, and be guests at our own party!

We owe her so many thanks. Also, I don't know how she did it, with a fair wind blowing and no amplification, but everyone could hear her, perfectly well, enjoyably. Sooo many guests commented on how impressed they were with Lisa, how she presented, how much they enjoyed the ceremony. One friend even commented thankfully to me on how wonderfully clear her enunciation was. At least a couple of people asked for her information to have, in case ever asked. Also, I heard from a few different guests how Lisa exquisitely elegantly and politely shoo-ed away a recalcitrant park-sitter! This is all from my email directly to Lisa to express my admiration and appreciation. I am in awe and so very grateful. I can't say enough. Thank you.

Dates changed, venues changed, guest lists changed for each, but Lisa was a constant for both. She is calming, she is understanding and to witness her performing two ceremonies two months apart for two very different couples was truly amazing . The ease in which she was able to make each couple feel that they had the best day ever was remarkable. She spends countless hours getting to know " her couples", which makes for the most intimate of ceremonies. She spends the time to learn what makes each relationship special and with humor and sensitivity she effortlessly weaves a beautiful story of their relationship. When I am not playing father of the bride I am a wedding photographer and have been to an endless amount of ceremonies and there is none better than Lisa. She is a gift that stays with your family for a lifetime. With love and affection, we felt truly blessed to have Lisa there to marry both our daughters.
