    Tl;dr: Not only were Naturally Delicious (Heather Levine) the perfect partners for our wedding in…read moreany circumstances, but Heather helped us navigate an exceptionally difficult situation that emerged two weeks before, and we couldn't recommend them more. At the outset of planning our wedding, we had a strong vision for the event, but lacked a fundamental understanding of how we'd put it together, the flow throughout the night, and the logistics of the more do-it-yourself venues that we were most interested in. Once we met Heather Levine from Naturally Delicious (ND), and started working with her, it became clear that ND were the perfect partners for our event. Heather had years of experience producing events in our venue and others like it and experience producing a variety of types of events. Heather had on-point suggestions for every detail of our event, whether it be food, run-of-show, liquor, rentals, or anything. About two weeks before the event, we faced an unexpected crisis. We don't know what we would have done without Heather generally, but especially during these two weeks. Our bi-weekly emails with Heather turned into multiple calls and texts a day. Alongside no small amount of coaching (bordering on counseling at times), Heather helped us repeatedly communicate with all of our loved ones about the event, and tirelessly worked across our vendors and venue to make many significant, last minute adjustments. Overall, we couldn't recommend Naturally Delicious and Heather Levine more!

    We got catering from Naturally Delicious for a 150 person alumni event in Soho, and we were really…read morepleased by the professionalism. We had a handful of platters of hor d'oeuvres and an open bar with two bartenders as well. I really appreciated the lengths our contact, Melissa, went to to make sure the event was successful. Since we were uncertain about our budget until the very last minute, we had so many changes (adding and subtracting platters, including the open bar, etc.) and requests. Melissa very willingly accommodated and worked with our limited budget to provide the best food and service. We were even making changes until a day before the event! The food was set up and delivered an hour and a half before the start of the event, which was a great relief for the event planners and a burden off our shoulders. The lovely bartenders were experienced and worked quickly, so there was hardly ever a line. Clean up was easy and fast, and Naturally Delicious worked with our space limitations to make the process super seamless. The food itself was all cold since we didn't have access to a kitchen to heat it up, so it wasn't as appetizing as some of our guests had hoped. However, I think this was more a result of my menu selection than anything Naturally Delicious did. The catering was a bit on the pricier side, but it's well worth it for the professionalism. If I'm planning catering for a future event, I will definitely turn to Naturally Delicious again!

    We hired Elise at Starling on Bond at the recommendation of our venue, 501 Union, as our month of…read morecoordinator, and it was one of the best decisions we made. I've put together many events professionally and began the wedding process thinking I'd be able to handle most things myself or hire a friend to help day of. But, as we got deeper into planning, we quickly realized having a month of coordinator was absolutely necessary for a stress-free day. In the months leading up to the wedding, I occasionally peppered Elise with questions, and she always answered quickly and helpfully. We began our meetings together a little over a month out from the big day, and from the start Elise was warm, organized, thoughtful, and professional. She was always two steps ahead of me and anticipated things I never had, even as an extremely Type A bride. Having Elise working behind the scenes made the day such a breeze for me and my husband. We had a detailed and well-planned timeline to go by, and didn't have to worry about the minutiae that can take away from being able to enjoy the day. My husband and I wanted to be entirely present for our wedding, and as natural hosts, it was so nice to not have to worry about all the little details for once. If anything went wrong, we didn't know about it. Our day was that smooth, thanks to Elise. We absolutely loved working with her and highly recommend her to anyone who's wondering if they need a coordinator (you do.)

    We worked with Paulette as our day-of-coordinator and cannot begin to describe how helpful and…read moreorganized she was. Everything I had been stressing about for months was completely taken over by Paulette and she managed every single vendor and detail perfectly. The day of our wedding she solved problems secretly behind the scenes, ensuring that it was the perfect day for my husband and I. We don't have enough positive things to say - THANK YOU PAULETTE!

    We had a "western" style wedding and I worked with Ula at Paris (she speaks both English and…read moremultiple dialects of Chinese). She was extremely helpful and responsive every single step of the way. Without her, I don't think I would have gotten everything together. I did not do a package, instead I rented a wedding dress, a mandarin qipao, hired a make up artist, MC, and DJ through Paris; and when our old decorator pulled out at the last minute, Ula eased the stress with a new recommendation 1 month away. 1. Dress selection is limited, and it did cost more than I expected to rent, but I don't regret not needing to have to store a giant dress in my tiny Manhattan apartment. The seamstress was very nice to work with, though I think she only speaks Chinese. 2. Make up artist was Crystal! She was so great. She traveled all the way up to Morningside Heights with her giant suitcase and did a phenomenal job. My schedule is difficult and Ula was able to work with me to secure a make up trial with Crystal a couple months before the wedding. It was extremely helpful to have a make up trial beforehand, so I do recommend it, even if it costs more. 3. JJ was my MC and I had a couple of guests come up to me to tell me how great she was going in between English and Mandarin. My friends speaks english but family members do not, so hiring JJ was such a win. She called us a month before and planned out an itinerary, which we ended up not following the day of, but she was able to play it by ear and made the night very fun. 4. DJ was James Vincent, who knew how to work the crowd. Lots of dancing, which was what we wanted. So overall, it was a great experience having a one- stop shop for all of our extra-venue vendors. I did not use their photographer/videographers since I had a recommendation from a friend (I wanted to be able to work with the same photographer for our engagement shoot and our wedding day-- so that they get to know you). Highly recommend.

I hired Tzo Ai for month-of coordination and she exceeded my expectations in every way. She started working on my wedding a full two months out and she was extremely thorough, organized, calm and responsive. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Everything was flawless and exactly as I'd imagined it. Tzo Ai made sure that everyone was running perfectly on schedule, so much so that we were actually AHEAD of schedule at times so we had room for extra photos! I cannot thank her enough for making our day so amazing!

Well before the month began, Tzo Ai sprang into action. A year prior to the wedding, she joined my wife for a walk-through of the venue. She also made sure to highlight important points that we needed to focus on in the months prior to the wedding. My wife is very organized, but Tzo Ai used her breadth of knowledge to take things to a higher level. Her attention to detail shined in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She kept us focused on all of the important details. A crucial aspect for us was how well she handled problematic vendors with ease. When our wedding day came, Tzo Ai and Lauren were a delight. I've been to several weddings where the coordinator was overbearing, which made the event laborious. Tzo Ai was calm, focused, and was always immediately responsive when we needed something. She even was able to quickly fix a family member's wardrobe malfunction. The event went so smoothly because of her excellence in management and coordination. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

The staff was very attentive and took their time with me to find the perfect dress. They walked us through the pre-wedding photoshoot details ahead of time and showed us photos examples so we can pick the locations to our liking. The day of the photoshoot, the staffs took their time doing my makeup and hair. I am normally nervous about getting my makeup done and having it coming out looking very unnatural. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by how natural and pretty the makeup and hair looked. I barely felt the fake lashes! I've always had a hard time with these. I didn't need to prepare any of the accessories. They prepared everything for me. Very detailed and professional. We had a lot of fun taking photos and got a lot of compliments from strangers about how great we looked! I highly recommend this place for people looking to save time searching individual photographers, videographers, makeup and alternative solutions to buying expensive wedding dresses.

The photographer and videographer (Sean and Jeff) were so patient and incredible. They suggested an amazing decorations company (run by Nancy). The entire team made my wedding dreams come true. I saw other reviews mentioning they expected a lot of tips. I have friends and family members who used other wedding studios and it's the same over there too, they have even more people you have to tip so I don't know what the complaints are about. I had a very large wedding (close to 500 guests) and I wanted EVERYTHING perfectly done and I still saved money compared to the costs at other wedding studios. All in all, this place made my experience so smooth from planning to the actual wedding day. The engagement/wedding photos and video were amazing, all the makeup and hair were beautiful, everything went perfectly because of Winny and her team.

I will say I had a great experience with hair/makeup and dress but photography was such a horrible experience. We saw sample pictures beforehand and decided to go with Rahel but the pictures we actually got were no where near what we were given. I will preface and say that we were pre-warned that we were double booked that day and were not going to get the main photographer,however, I am not just upset at the quality of photos but just the lack of professionalism that followed. We ended up taking studio photos that day with the main photographer which actually were edited and came out nice, however, the pictures taken at the venue were terrible with the other photographers. Many of the pictures looked like we were inside a club due to horrible flash. Many pictures we were washed out with flash directly in our faces. Not just that but barely none were edited. We just got a photo dump of nearly 7 gbs of just raw pictures. We hired photography to get professional pictures but we just ended up with a photo dump of just raw photos and terrible ones at that. The worst part is I tried emailing the group about my concerns 3 times with NO response and am just amazed at their unprofessionalism with their clients. I guess once they have your money they just have no regard for you. If at least there was some dialogue about the situation I don't think I would have been as upset but the fact that before the wedding they were very responsive to the silence that followed afterwards is just what is very upsetting.
