Jen navigated everything perfectly, from coordinating our kosher catering delivery to managing our band’s setup according to union regulations. She even arranged last-minute permits when we decided to take photos in Central Park.

Her knowledge of Manhattan’s wedding industry and vendor network proved invaluable.” – Sarah, Bride

“Our winter wedding at the Rainbow Room required incredible attention to detail with security protocols and elevator scheduling. Jen coordinated everything flawlessly, even handling a last-minute blizzard that threatened to derail our plans. She had backup transportation ready for guests and vendors alike, and when the weather caused delays, she rearranged our timeline so smoothly that none of our guests even noticed. Her experience with Manhattan venues meant she knew exactly how to handle the building’s strict regulations while still ensuring our vision came to life perfectly.” – Michael, Groom

Alexandra & Thomas’s Four Seasons Downtown Wedding
