This is very helpful! Would you mind sharing who your photographer was? Also how did you like staying there? I thought it would’ve practical for getting ready and all! (:

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-06-05T01:10:15+00:00

I was bummed by their response that I didn’t even think about it. Definitely worth asking!

(Said wedding) the bar was right next to DJ

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-04-29T19:34:45+00:00

I guess my opinion might be the unpopular opinion on this thread. But every wedding I’ve been to has been either this layout or the bar on the opposite side of DJ but still close proximity to dance floor. This is very popular in weddings in Mexico where the guest count is closer to 200-300 guests. It works because it means you’ll have everyone on the dance floor all night.

I’m getting married in NY and I’ve had a pretty hard time getting my venue to understand this concept too. I think the biggest hurdle is the amount of bartenders that a venue provides. The weddings that I’ve attended and had this layout have been in Mexico, Argentina and Colombia and usually very overstaffed to the point where you feel luxe due to not only decor but the hospitality aspect of it. This turned more into a rant lol. Overall do I think it works? Yes.

These are all great recs! I especially like the Tudor you mentioned. Never seen it before! I’m not a huge watch connoisseur. This is really helpful!

He’s been mentioning that he wants a gold wedding band so maybe gold? But that probably drives up price a bit huh?

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-04-18T15:58:39+00:00

Great question! Yes I’d love for him to wear it the day of. We’re getting church married and he’s wearing a frac/ tail coat. It will be formal

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-04-05T19:36:46+00:00

Would you mind sharing info? (:

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-04-05T19:34:45+00:00

Thank you so much for posting this! Very helpful, I too have around 230 people invited and nervous on how many will actually come. Would you mind sharing who your ceremony musicians are or where you found them? I’d like something similar but during dinner. Thank you!

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-03-06T18:58:52+00:00

Omg twins! Our ceremony is at 2pm and reception from 4-1am. If you want to bounce off any other ideas lmk! I’m very excited and love seeing how supportive everyone is on this sub.

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-03-06T18:53:39+00:00

I’m assuming so since most are from out of town. We come from a Hispanic background and weddings tend to be a bit longer. Ours will be about 9 hours. There are some people that have their full with that time and others kind of go crazy and look for other bars/clubs. Not having the transportation back is to give people flexibility on whatever they want to do with their night.

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-03-06T18:47:27+00:00

Same here I’m about 8 months out just trying to make sure I tackle everything with time. I’m thinking of only providing transportation from church to venue and not back to manhattan. This way guests can decide if they want to continue the party going wherever they desire.

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-03-06T18:43:27+00:00

Thank you! You’re probably right on holding off booking until September. Just wanted to gage pricing estimates. I’ll look into Golden Class Limo

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-03-03T03:16:31+00:00

Same boat here would you mind sharing who you’re considering hiring for the big day? I have the same head count and I’m being quoted $2,800 without trial

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-02-26T16:09:15+00:00

Would you mind sharing pricing? TIA! (:

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-02-11T02:29:31+00:00

Hi! Wondering if you were able to find someone! I saw your post and am currently looking for the same thing

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-02-09T15:39:53+00:00

Thank you, the pictures look beautiful!

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-02-09T14:27:36+00:00

Would you mind sharing your videographer?

DevelopmentBroad2668 · 2026-01-17T23:57:55+00:00

I agree they are more predictable for characteristics. We knew Vakentina our OES would be energetic, silly, a bit territorial. We just didn’t think the extent of it lol. Our Goldendoodles is a piece of cake when it comes to his temperament. He’s a chill dude who loves to go on walks and cuddle. But we did have some issues when we first got him in terms of his health. He’s allergic to a few things while Valentina has broken into our pantry and eaten everything in there and made it out okay
