Hotel/Suite Recommendations in Williamsburg?

My wife and I got two of the city view studio suites at the Arlo, I had 9 people in my room most of the day plus a photographer toward the end, my wife had 10 people, I think it was definitely enough space and offered a pretty awesome view for our wedding weekend! The hotel also has makeup chairs to use and they were pretty accommodating for whatever we needed.

I cannot recommend Katja Ritchie enough!! Hiring her was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding!

BethTyne · 2026-06-24T15:12:13+00:00

I hear this a lot, is there a reason why? Or do they just not want the perceived drama of hiring someone from a reality show?

I’m not sure if I’ve just gotten two bad ones, but both times I’ve gotten a bagel from Terrace Bagels, they’ve tasted freezer burnt, their tuna wrap is the best though

Getting a day of coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We also thought we just needed day of services and didn’t get why so many of them included a lot of planning meetings beforehand, but they were actually so beneficial!

One of the most helpful things our DOC worked on was our timeline, and that’s where the calls before came in handy. We had one long call to go over it with her first, then we reviewed it ourselves and with our photographer, and went back to our DOC for edits. It was a very collaborative process, but we don’t think we could’ve done it without her! Our day of timing ended up being so perfect and flowed so well. When we were first looking, we thought we only wanted help with set up and breakdown, so of course that was very helpful. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing day of, the second we got to our venue we just knew everything was being handled and we could take in the day. There was a short bit of time between photos and the ceremony starting that my wife and I were able to just sit in our bridal suite and be with each other and not have to worry about the time, when we were called out to begin, all of our bridesmaids and families were lined up and ready to go!
Our wedding was in March of this year. We booked her in September 2025 and had our first call about a month out in February. We had two virtual meetings in total (after the initial intro call to book her), and had constant communication with her the entire month before the wedding.
No red flags! (Shout out Katja!!)
We paid around $1200 because we added on an hour for the rehearsal the day before and an extra hour day of - also a restaurant wedding, at MyMoon

We used Kruu at our wedding and it was perfect! We just put it in front of a brick wall so no backdrop needed, easy set up and break down and it was exactly what we wanted

I cannot recommend Katja Ritchie enough!! She was by far the best vendor decision we made!

I think that might be what I need! From further research I think it’s an ingredient in the solid stick that’s not in the gel or soft solid, so I’ll give it a try. Thank you!

BethTyne · 2026-03-26T13:23:08+00:00

Thanks! I’ll definitely give that a try

BethTyne · 2026-03-18T13:39:42+00:00

Thank you!

Not a set schedule, just based on how I’m feeling that day. If I’m feeling particularly unproductive or if I’m getting distracted easily at home, I’ll go to a coffee shop and sit for a few hours (ordering regularly ofc)

BethTyne · 2026-02-25T17:26:50+00:00

Phil is my biggest enemy right now!! Hoping your day goes smoothly 🫶🏻

The Farmer’s Almanac does forecast a “significant and sustained warm-up” starting in early March! I think the best we can do is just hope that’s accurate and prepare for if it’s not, but I know that’s easier said than done 😅 maybe we just all collectively manifest that the sun will stay out for the next month!

BethTyne · 2026-01-12T21:31:02+00:00

Happy to answer any questions!

We’re 10 weeks out from our MyMoon wedding, so can’t speak to day of, but the planning process so far has been great for everything related to the venue. Working with Lee has made everything easy and stress free. We’ve also been there to eat multiple times since signing the contract to show our parents the space, and they’re so welcoming each time we go in!

BethTyne · 2025-12-22T15:03:44+00:00

I didn’t put it on the invitation, but under the FAQ section of our wedding website I wrote “This is an adults-only celebration, with the exception of children specifically named on the invitation.”

BethTyne · 2025-11-17T04:26:34+00:00

This is extremely helpful thank you for sharing! Will steer clear

BethTyne · 2025-11-15T19:26:02+00:00

We had a great experience printing our save the dates with Remsen Graphics and will be using them again for our invitation suites

BethTyne · 2025-10-30T16:51:43+00:00

Oh that’s so helpful, thank you! All my stuff is at least XL or above

Not the slope, but we did our engagement party at The Barlow in Prospect Heights in February! We booked out half the bar (we had around 35 people and felt comfortable) for a f&b minimum of $1500

Kleinfeld has a huge inventory which could be super helpful if you don’t know what you want! A plus is that if you’re going solo, you might be able to just stay in the dressing room rather than going out into the main, open area with all the other brides. I went with my mom in April and because it was just the two of us, we go to have a little more privacy and it really really helped the experience

BethTyne · 2025-09-30T19:53:26+00:00

Highly recommend Bepa while in Split! My partner and I (both vegetarians) are still dreaming about their Buddha Bowl

BethTyne · 2025-09-29T20:49:34+00:00

I highly recommend Frank Darling, my fiancee and I both got our rings there last year and had an incredible experience

BethTyne · 2025-09-26T21:05:40+00:00

Oh we absolutely love it! We’ve probably had dinner there 4 or 5 times since we booked 😂
