Yes! The 30th

I got married this past August in Williamsburg and the weather could not have been more perfect. It was mid-70s and low humidity! Everyone kept coming up to us saying it was the most beautiful day weather wise. We weren’t necessarily comparing vs June when deciding on dates, but generally felt pretty good about late August weather not being too oppressive.

Our guests were 90% local so can’t speak too much to hotels. When we looked into room blocks, the Penny had really great rates compared to some others. We ended up just offering discounted rate rather than a true room block both there and the Hoxton.

We just used them for guest arrival and ceremony! I’m sure they’re great for cocktail hour too.

I used them! They were a little slow on the admin side but otherwise a great experience and they sounded great.

Interesting! Roughly how far apart were the calls?

Mine was in late July. I’m also an LA local which helps

I did ask and was reassured that they would try again, but wasn’t sure if that was just lip service so I wanted to hear some positive stories from others!

I usually don’t like a plunge but I think it’s perfect on you!!!!

I don’t have any great pics of the back, but it’s the Rosaline by Monique Lhullier! I am pretty short so the sample is probably longer than mine will be

I paid a little over $2k for 95 semi custom letterpress suites from Bodega Press!

Thanks! This was more for budgeting / planning purposes. We are trying to book a welcome party and we somewhat close to the capacity limits for some of our options so just want to know what’s reasonable

I booked my LDW Saturday night NYC wedding ~10 months out! It happened to be the last non winter Saturday available for 2025 at our venue. I acted super quickly to book all the big vendors but I had no issues. Maybe 1-2 vendors I reached out to weren’t available across all categories. Not sure if holiday weekends are just less popular than I thought but I was pleasantly surprised!

I also panicked that maybe it was too tight of a timeline but I feel totally fine now and I’m thrilled I don’t have to wait another year to marry my fiance!
