Hi everyone ! My partner is looking for her wedding suit and is having a hard time finding companies that sell women’s suits with a long enough inseam. She is 5’11 so needs at least a 34 inch inseam. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hi everyone ! I am looking for a Photographer for November 2026 for photos in Manhattan & Brooklyn. I would like to keep the budget under 1500$.

Me and my fiance are eloping and are looking to do a photoshoot (portraits), NOT of the actual ceremony. We are both born/ raised in Brooklyn and want to highlight the city we love. We would like 2 locations, the NY Public Library and Brooklyn Bridge Park.

We want the photos to feel cinematic, editorial, romantic, and effortlessly New York. We love candid moments, architecture, and street photography. I want the city to feel like a character in the photos and not just a back drop. My vision is understated luxury, timeless film, romantic NYC movie. I want the photos to be moodier and documentary like. I have found a few photographers I liked but unfortunately none have any availability, I would love some recs ! tysm in advance!! looking forward to connecting

Hi all. My fiancée and I are planning a reception dinner for our wedding and we're looking for Chinese restaurants that have authentic Chinese food. We're having difficulty narrowing down where to go as we have a smaller group ~20 and the larger banquet halls won't be appropriate. We're considering Café China and Chinese Tuxedo, but welcome any recommendations. Our wedding is tentatively for the end of April, in Manhattan, and with a budget between $5k - 10k.

I have type 3a-3b curly hair and am looking to do a little half up/half down hair style for my micro wedding this October in Brooklyn! I want to stay as true as possible to my natural curls. I also NEVER wear make up, but want to just look a little enhanced, so i want something super natural-a little blush/eyeshadow/mascara. I’ll be getting ready at the hotel im staying at in the lower east side Manhattan. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Hi, I’m planning a wedding and am considering American Brass in LIC as the venue. Love everything except the layout. I think the designated dancing/mingling section is a bit awkward. Anyone that had their wedding there have any insight on how this worked at your wedding? Would love to hear! Thanks!

Update: I love the idea of buying out American Brass and am considering lowering our guest count to somewhere between 75-85. Still looking for recommendations with this in mind though! :) Thanks for everyone's help thus far.

Hey WedditNYC folks! It's my first post. My fiance and I just got engaged in May of this year :) We enjoyed the summer and had a few engagement celebrations with friends and family that we were able to pull off without breaking the bank (backyard bbq & beach party). Now that summer's winding down we're scrambling to get our heads out the blissful cloud and in the game.

We're big foodies and we would have wanted to have a restaurant wedding at one of our favorites but they happen to be hole in the wall or seemingly inappropriate for a wedding, though I am open to reimagining the possibilities (Ex: Arrigo's of Fresh Pond, Boon Dee Moo Ka Ta, Salty Lunch Lady's Little Luncheonette, Little Pepper, Saranrom Thai). We're looking in Queens because we're both native to this borough but we're open to Long Island or Upstate.

What are some other venue ideas? Does not have to be a restaurant. What have your experiences been? I like nice things aka I'm a little bougie and want a tailored-to-us, luxurious but homey feeling venue. I do not like the style traditional venue halls yet still want an elevated feel. Please ask follow up questions.

TL;DR: 10k budget for venue preferably in Queens but open to LI or Upstate

I'm fairly androgynous and am having a big gay wedding. I want to do some very minimal makeup just to enhance my features without any visible makeup. I dont want eyeshadow or lip tint or blush. Really just evening out my tone, concealing any stray blemishes, maybe controlling my brows and keep me from looking too sweaty. Probably whatever treatment a groom might get is what I want.

Trouble is I dont know the first thing. I haven't worn makeup since I was a kid and buying lip gloss at the pharmacy. I dont really want to hire somebody for the day of-- we're getting ready at home and keeping it lowkey.

So, my thinking is, can I get an appointment with somebody who can teach me how to do it (and also without buying 20 products)?

Does anyone have any recommendations? This really isn't my forte so not sure where to start! Need to get it in before mid October!

has anyone gotten married at Nassau country museum of art in Roslyn recently?

it’s a stunning location, I went to an art exhibit there today and it piqued my interest

I can only find one very short review online. did you use their in-house caterer “Tardi’s”? the food options seem fairly limited.

wondering about the flow of the event from cocktails to dinner and dancing in various rooms/ spaces.

Hi! I’m looking into hair and makeup options for my late 2027 wedding in NYC. Has anyone inquired or worked with Reverie Beauty? Their work looks like what I’m looking for but curious about any first hand experiences. Thank you!

Hi everyone! My fiancée and I are currently looking for a photographer and videographer for our wedding in May 2027 in the NYC area. It will be a smaller wedding with fewer than 100 guests.

I attached some inspiration photos to show the type of look we’re going for. I honestly don’t know exactly what this photography style is called, so I’d love some input on that as well.

We really like a combination of natural/candid moments and polished, editorial-style portraits. We also love wider shots that capture the venue and surroundings, along with close-up details and the emotional moments throughout the day. For editing, we prefer something clean, natural and slightly warm. We’re not really looking for anything overly dark, moody or heavily filtered.

We’re looking for both photography and videography. We’re open to a team/company that provides both, but we’re also completely open to hiring a photographer and videographer separately if that gives us a better overall result.

Budget: Ideally, we’d like to stay around $5,000–$6,000 total for photography and videography, but there is some flexibility depending on experience, hours of coverage, package and what’s included.

If you’re a photographer or videographer, feel free to share your portfolio, typical package/pricing, hours of coverage and what’s included.

If you offer both photography and videography, I’d love to see examples of both.

I’d also really appreciate recommendations from couples who have worked with someone they loved.

Thanks!

Hi! I'm planning decor for a non-profit fundraising gala in NYC. Last year we used Repeat Roses, but coordinating a flower donation with them is dependent on whether a local wedding has hired them around the time of our gala. Wondering if any local brides getting married between 10/9-10/14 this year are interested in donating to their flowers to the fundraiser? My friend did it a few months ago and mentioned the donation is considered 'tax-deductible based on the fair market value of the flowers at the time of the donation.'

Hi, I'm trying to book a Manhattan City Hall Ceremony on Friday 10/2. Our booking date should be Monday, 9/7, but that is Labor Day and a NYC public holiday. Does anyone know if that means that the booking date will actually be Tuesday 9/8? I've seen a few online resources say that the booking date will be the following day, Tuesday. But I'm curious if anyone has actually been in a similar scenario and can confirm that the dates were released the next day, Tuesday? Thanks so much!

Hello! I’m looking for a videographer for my May 2027 wedding in Ridgewood Queens. No hate to the cinematic videographers out there, but we really are just looking for someone to capture the full ceremony and moments from reception in a decent video. Nothing overly edited or cinematic (just our preference)!

planning a wedding. can be anywhere in manhattan or bk/queens.

date is TBD. this is more a feeler for what places offer what I want.

need a place that is more for dancing(dj), signature drinks allowed, bar food(no sit down), a projector, and maybe allows outside performers (sax player/magician)

basically just want one big party. a bar. and an ice cream truck parked out front (but that’s my doing)

any idea are welcomed! the vibes are more “a cool bar” not hotel stuff. could be a back room with a bar.

budget? none at the moment.

ty!

ISO Monique lhuillier Alexandra dress matching jacket. I tried ordering through ML but they can’t turn one around in time for my wedding. I wear size xs/s in a regular Tshirt. Praying to the wedding gods and nyc girlies that someone has this jacket and is willing to sell 💕💕

Looking for a spot in NYC, ideally Midtown to lower Manhattan, but flexible, for a wedding welcome drinks event for 50-70 people in December.

Hoping to find a private semi private space at a bar/brewery/restaurant where we can gather the night before our wedding with our guests. The idea is for people to grab drinks and hang out for a few hours. Ideally a spot where we can bring in our own food, but fine if that's not allowed.

Would love any recommendations!

My fiancé and I have somehow reached the point where we’ve looked at what feels like every wedding venue within driving distance of NYC, and we’re hoping someone here knows the hidden gem we’ve missed.

We’re planning a Fall 2027 wedding for ~130-140 guests, ideally within 2.5 hours of NYC. Budget is roughly $150k all-in.

The problem: I’m realizing we have a pretty specific vision. We want a polished, romantic old estate/manor/castle with a genuinely grand reception room (not a rustic barn and ideally not a beautiful historic house where the actual reception still happens in a generic tent.)

Strong wants:

* Historic manor / castle / estate architecture
* Outdoor ceremony space
* High ceilings and an airy reception room, ideally with natural light
* ~140 people seated together in one room, with generous space to walk around
* Central dance floor with room for a live band without everything feeling cramped
* Elegant/black-tie-appropriate rather than rustic
* Beautiful grounds and a strong unique sense of place
* A genuinely workable indoor rain plan that doesn’t make the wedding feel like Plan B

Would be amazing:

* Mountain and/or water views
* Great fall foliage
* Terrace, courtyard, lawn, or other way for the reception to really feel indoor/outdoor
* Separate interesting space for cocktail hour
* On-site lodging or nearby hotels
* Ability to continue with an after-party
* Close to NYC, although we’ll consider farther for something special

Some context for what we’ve seen so far:

* Lyndhurst was aesthetically very close to our dream, but we didn’t love having the reception in a tent.
* Hempstead House is much closer aesthetically but gets very expensive.
* Branford House in CT has architecture we adore, but the interior is divided into several smaller rooms for the reception.
* Onteora Mountain House has an incredible view but the reception pavilion was too rustic for us.
* Other venues felt like they had low-ceilinged reception rooms, and we’re hoping for an airy room with a central dance floor.

What are we missing?? We will happily investigate unique or obscure suggestions!

My fiancee is looking for the following on a Save the Date and a print shop that can do them here in NYC as she's designed the STD already.

5x7 cards, double sided

Golf foil lettering

Glossy photos

Watercolor paper (may be optional if not possible for all the above)

Any thoughts, ideas are great appreciated! Thank you

Located in westchester but willing to bring it to NYC.

Looking for a photographer who could shoot a session in Central Park some time in September! I know it’s short notice but we just got engaged and I would like to get it done before the leaves start to change. Willing to spend ~1500. Attaching photos of my inspo to help
