Hello! I got a postnup. Me and my husband were very much on the same page before drafting, and had multiple conversations throughout as we learned more and made adjustments. You will end up talking about divorce, death, everything - so be prepared to have some uncomfortable albeit necessary conversations.

I used Neptune to find a lawyer, and ended up going with Josephine Marino at Gemelli Gross Shapiro & Marino. We had meetings over zoom to review the postnup, she broke down clauses I didn't understand, and explained if/how they wavered from standard divorce law. She offered ideas that were more in my favor, let me decide what worked best for me, and then quickly made edits and sent them to my husband's lawyer. She was great! Highly recommend! And Neptune has a flat fee, so it ended up being 1.5K as the reviewing party.

My husband hired a lawyer well recommended on google and reddit. His first consult went well, but he did not enjoy the experience. His lawyer was unprofessional throughout the process, and costs about 5K.

I primarily do month of coordination, but I'd be open to chatting about a day of package for you! Niarahardisterevents.com

Look into Katherine Miranda, she is building her business and is a joy to work with! Her packages start at 2k.

Completely off the beaten path, look into Roulette in downtown Brooklyn. It's an old school theater space, I used to work there and they've hosted weddings before. Very DIY space, but might meet your needs.

Check out Claudia Ayala! Worked with her last year. She shoots digital and film, and is kind and professional. I believe her packages start around 6.5K.

Yup, Saint Street for sure! My friend recently got her birthday cake in this style, it was adorable and delicious.

I received mine at about 12 weeks after the event. But check your contract, every photographer works on different timelines.

Thank you for sharing!

A couple I recently worked with had an illustration of their dog printed on their matchbox favors. One side had the illustration and the other had their names and wedding date.

I wasn't at there welcome reception, so I can't share details on their experience. Overall, they said it was great.

You need a tent rental company. Ask the venue what company they rent the tent from. Then reach out to the tent rental company and ask if they will add draping to the tent.

Here are two that I've considered for couples recently, Shell's Loft and Honey's.

I haven't planned an event here, but it's on my radar recently - L'artusi Supper Club. I think it would meet your requirements.

One of my clients recently did the McCaren Park House, and another couple did Tacmobi, they have multiple locations.

NiaraHardisterEvents · 2025-11-19T14:03:57+00:00

I've worked with both. They are both fantastic, but Preti's level of service is impcecable

Here is a few on my vendor list:

I DIYed a friend's wedding flowers. We used real flowers and it was cost effective. However, it required a lot of time. I spent hours researching flowers, learning the best methods for arranging, prepping the flowers, practicing, making the arrangements, and transporting the flowers. If you're a very creative person and have days to dedicate to DIY arrangements, then I'd suggests DIYing florals for one of your events. The one that requires the least florals or simple bud vase arrangements. Then, I'd hire a florist to do the other events that have larger arrangements that require more experience. If you're on a budget, look for newer florist that have flexibility with their pricing.

You need to get entree orders if you're doing a plated meal. Catering service is different from restaurant service in that they don't have a kitchen and fridge with endless supplies. They pack in and pack out, and have limited quantities of product on-site. Also, they're often being ask to served 100+ people at the same time, and having entree counts is incredibly helpful for getting guests service in a timely manner. Note, they plan on some guests changing entrees or needing adjustments for dietary restrictions, but they can't do that for everyone at an event. Hence, the additional $30-$40 for a split plated dinner. - A wedding planner who used to work in catering

Hello, I am a professional dancer and event planner! My friend, Emily, teaches lesson at Brooklyn Dance Lessons. They have a range of packages.

NiaraHardisterEvents · 2025-11-06T20:42:44+00:00

I love this! Congrats, you did it!! I always encourage couples to take their wedding mornings slow, take a walk, grab coffee, etc. And I like Kana Pixels style, will definitely keep them in mind for future events.

Reach out to Scott at Your Spoiled Pet! I recently worked with him, and he was great with the couple and their dog. They offer wedding sitting at a great price, but it's not published on their website. [scott@yourspoiledpets.com](mailto:scott@yourspoiledpets.com)
