Persnickety's Four-One-One

The possibilities are endless in the city. Your wedding day dreams can be either really BIG, really SIMPLE, or somewhere in between. The truth is that New York offers some of the most eclectic wedding locations, that can meet the needs of any couple and any budget.

Here Are My Top Five:

1. Locusts on Hudson… This private manor home won my heart because of its spectacular view of the Hudson River valley & the 1,000 acres of untouched parkland. IDEA: A couple literally brought the zoo to their wedding day!
2. Brooklyn Children’s Museum… Artsy and looking for a rooftop? Then BCM’s rooftop plaza is the place for you! Nothing says unique and fun more than this venue. The rooftop’s breathtaking views of Brower Park are an added bonus for an unforgettable ceremony!
3. The Green Building…There is something about Brooklyn that is sooo magical. That’s how I feel when I look at the event space for The Green Building. This venue offers a raw space, leaving the sky as the limit for event creativity. With its exposed brick walls, high & exposed beam ceilings and elegant chandeliers, hosting your wedding here will surely create awe inspiring moments. 
4. Battery Gardens… The name alone is enough to tell you why this historical venue is so amazing! I’ve worked with this venue in the past, the staff, the food, the grounds were absolutely amazing. No, I am not exaggerating. The photographs from my client’s wedding were spectacular. SPECTACULAR! The backdrop to my client’s wedding was the gorgeous view of Manhattan & The Statue of Liberty. It truly was a stunning event!

Lighting is the most important element of any wedding. Having poor lighting is like a bride without make-up- absurd isn’t it?! The WHY? Have you ever noticed that its lighting that makes any event breath taking? Come on, think about it, from sunsets, to fireworks, to candle lit dinners, lighting is what inspires those, “Oooo, Aaaahhh!” moments. If your dream is to have a romantic, festive, unique or fairy-tale feel on your wedding day, then investing in proper lighting is what will make that dream come true! And the best part is, it can be much cheaper than flowers, decor and of course, the food!
