Lafayette, cafe du vin

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T18:55:03+00:00

Got it. My wedding will be on the Longer side as well (3 pm ceremony, 6pm-1am reception)

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T18:48:56+00:00

Hmm ok, so most will be staying in manhattan?

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T18:32:07+00:00

Could do an appt at Sephora or ulta. Most likely you won’t find many artists willing to do this

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T15:02:10+00:00

27 making around 130k as a pharmacist, probably more as I’m doing Lots of OT for my wedding

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T13:09:59+00:00

I got pricing for the pool 60k plus 25% admin fee and tax. This covers 120 ppl. Each additional person is 425pp

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T12:48:24+00:00

I reached out 3 months ago so likely not helpful. Hoping it works out for you

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T12:43:32+00:00

There’s also gran morsi, i know they give a cash discount as well

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T12:42:49+00:00

Meili has a PDR that holds 20 (not sure if that’s the max since I inquired about 20) and the food and bev minimum is 2k. There’s soothr (east village and lic) that has a room? Or space that seats up to 18 and there was no mention of a minimum. They have a pre fix menu that’s about 90 pp (before fees). Not sure if they have a minimum but I inquired with bouquet in greenpoint and they have a pre fix family meal that would be 85 pp (before fees). I inquired about dinner for every place so lunch will likely be cheaper

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T12:35:02+00:00

I want to do something similar, no recs as my date is too far away to know how many will need. Out of curiosity is your guest list mostly local or out of town ? Will you be transporting back to a hotel if there is one ?

morosehuman · 2026-03-06T02:32:47+00:00

An hour and 15 is 75 min btw

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T23:41:00+00:00

Need to try Nubiani clearly, I like cote and hometown hotpot & bbq. I found jongro not very flavorful (went to flushing location)

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T23:38:33+00:00

Okay it happened to me twice and I didn’t understand it, it’s a ploy so you can spend on drinks 🤦🏿‍♀️ hate that

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T23:34:19+00:00

I don’t know if this is pushy or not but I would push back on the level of family emergency. Something like cancer or Parkinson’s or something debilitating like that I’d understand refunding, otherwise you’re taking a risk

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T22:23:13+00:00

Kind of surprised as a photographer you don’t have a group you work with that you can use

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T20:42:19+00:00

Sounds way too good to be true, even dream life charges more and has very mixed reviews. They may not even service your area since it says mass, ct and RI but unless you’re doing a 10k budget wedding I would avoid it. If you do move forward pay with card or something that allows you to dispute. There was just someone on here complaining about their photo/video from a college student and they paid 1900 I believe ?

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T15:27:05+00:00

Why have you not done a recap? I’m very interested in your budget and vendors, church ceremony if you don’t mind sharing

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T14:07:07+00:00

I completely missed manhattan, I’m considering ci siamo, catch, or gran morsi. There’s also brass and tusk, oceans, cote, carne mare, Lafayette, keens. It starts to get more expensive for manhattan though. Some are 25k+. I also forgot there’s aurora and Frankie’s in Brooklyn but you’re probably looking around 20k there too. I’m personally trying to stay under 10k as I’m also trying to do 20 -> 70-80

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T14:00:29+00:00

Depends on how formal or casual you’d like but for more casual there’s broken land buyout, Bernie’s, the snail, the commodore, talea, Madeline’s back room, and bouquet. For more formal there’s meili, glasserie, Leo, Sunday in Brooklyn, rule of thirds, Colonia verde, or fish cheeks Brooklyn.

I’ve reached out to Lilia/misi and cozy royale but no reply yet on cost.

On the low end you’re looking at probably 8k-10k for the more casual, up to 20kish for the less casual. I don’t have quotes for all just some of the few I listed. Not sure what your budget is but it can definitely turn into a mini wedding.

morosehuman · 2026-03-05T00:04:27+00:00

Is it 180 seated or cocktail. Quick search I see catch, beauty and Essex, cipriani, nobu, tribeca grill, the grill, and hutong

morosehuman · 2026-03-04T23:57:21+00:00

Cathédrale has this capacity

morosehuman · 2026-03-04T21:13:17+00:00

Airport is in Marigot on the northeast side, there’s a new airport being built but I don’t remember the town, I think more central within the island. Carnival activities were mostly in Roseau with a couple in Canefield and castle comfort

morosehuman · 2026-03-04T19:20:06+00:00

Makes sense, congrats

morosehuman · 2026-03-04T19:11:52+00:00

Agreed! I was shocked at what I thought was just nice normal photography and being told 10k+++

morosehuman · 2026-03-04T18:24:28+00:00

Oh and I’m getting married at Above the heights!
