No, we do not offer wedding planning services :)
But a few websites and ressources, we found useful.

NYC Ressources:
Caterer: Darna
- If you are lucky enough to live in NYC or to have your wedding here, consider talking to Darna (89th / Columbus) about catering
- Go for a tasting... It is so worth it!
- Ask and I send you pictures...
Dress: RKBridal
- It's very intimidating and overwhelming at first, but they will find your dress!
- I had a beautiful Casablanca gown ($730) that was build up for me and they really worked with me to make it my wedding dress for under $1300 with all alterations. LOVE IT.
Lessons Learned:
- Learn the following mantra: Dont freak out... its just a 5 hour party. Repeat three times while breathing slowly...
- Make a budget and stick with it! No, I mean it.
- No matter what other people say: It is your wedding.
- No matter what happens: Let is go and enjoy. This only happens once.
- Bring a second pair of shoes. I got Aerosoles, very comfy...
- Pack your larger tote bag for the wedding day a week ahead and give it to your mom.
- Do not forget your marriage license. Yup, you guessed it - we did.
- A lot of wedding memories will come back when you see the pictures, so get a good photographer.
- "Whose wedding is it anyway?" is just a TV show! Your wedding is so much cooler and better.
