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!

Tammy planned my daughter's wedding for last August. She is very pleasant, calm, creative and…read moretruly perfect for such an otherwise stressful event. She made everything smooth. The really BIG thing for me, is that Tammy saved the day by being so prepared: my gown's zipper broke, all the way down the back right before the wedding started! I was able to NOT panic because Tammy had a hundred safety pins and pinned me back up. Almost none of the guests realized I had this huge problem thanks to Tammy. Now, a wedding planner who is right by your side and THAT prepared? I don't believe anyone could have been better. You can put your trust in Tammy.

Tammy is one of the most hardworking and honest event planners I worked with. Highly recommend.read more

Hayley and Brynne threw an amazing event for our pup, with every single detail considered and thoughtfully executed. Our guests, humans and dogs, all had a great time. Hayley and Brynne were incredible to work with and thought through every single detail. When we started getting nervous as the event approached, Hayley took a phone call with me from France (!!!!) to make sure I felt confident and comfortable with our pup's big day. The day of the party was perfect - when we arrived at the venue, Hayley already had things looking incredible with adorable decorations, props - just everything above and beyond what we could've imagined. Brynne also attended the actual party even though we weren't expecting her since she had been on maternity leave. They had fun games planned and ensured all guests had an amazing time. Hayley and Brynne are the real deal!!! We will definitely work with them on future events for our pup. THANK YOU!

We met at Baked Melissa on 42nd street. The guide gave us instructions. I was late so I did not hear the instructions. The goal of the race is to find items on a list (movie poster, triplets, slide, dog with clothes, flag, big clock, guy with mets cap, bus driver), 3 out of 6 pictures (daily news globe, muppets at fab schwartz , apple at hudson river park etc) and a find of (12 different flowers or 6 different vendors that sell meet). In addition, for extra point, you had to check in with the guide at times square and if you choose to perform a specific task. The event was tiring. We had to run towards the end of the race to get everything. My team won of course. However, given that we paid $35 for the race. I expected more like water to be provided, nutrional snacks a the end of the race, some sort of metrocard for public transportation and better prize (i got a plastic medal and t-shirt).

All in all a fun day, took us all over the city to places we'd never been. Also exposed me to the bus system which I've rarely taken.. pretty reliable & runs regularly (should I be yelping the metro system..?). Pretty well organized. We got plenty of e-mails beforehand letting us know how we should prepare (though they were a little ambiguous on the metro day pass- were they providing it or did we have to buy it? Good thing we bought ours just in case). On they day of they ran pretty smoothly, although registration was a bit of a bottleneck with one person doing each task (sign in, name tags, handing out paperwork). There were lots of staff though and they were all really friendly and seemed to really enjoy running the event, which made us enjoy it more. At then end they came around and scored our pictures by going through them with us (liked that - so we could make sure we got credit for all the items we found), and had us load our pictures on a computer being projected so we saw a slideshow with everyone's photos as they were scoring. Funny to see how creative some people were. Would've been nice to have a little bit of food at the start or at the end - annoying that we were basically expected to stick around and order Dave & Busters food since that was the start/end location. It's ok, we just ordered a small appetizer (as we were STARVING) and went off to a restaurant actually worth our time for dinner.

Planning our wedding from overseas seemed risky, but Caio and the Deity Events team made it…read moreeffortless. They guided us through every step despite the time difference and never once made us feel like we were planning from thousands of miles away. The downtown Brooklyn space with its New York skyline views was even more stunning in person than we imagined. We needed very little additional decorations to make it what we wanted, because the space itself is so perfect. The Bridal Suite and rooftop were amazing, my husband and I had a BLAST getting ready with our friends. Their full-service approach meant we could actually relax instead of stressing about details, and the staff on our wedding day were attentive, thoughtful and kind. They provided extra decorations where needed, let us set up the day before, and provided space for our rehearsal dinner. For the quality and care you get, the value is unbeatable--highly recommend.

We recently held our daughter's Bat Mitzvah at Deity and couldn't be more pleased with how the…read moreevent turned out. Having never hosted a large party before, we were initially drawn to Deity's full-service model and the option to hold the ceremony in-house. From our first inquiry, communication was consistently quick and professional and the price was more than fair for the services offered. We were particularly impressed by Caio, and his approach during our initial tour. He recognized that our daughter was shy about being the center of attention and suggested thoughtful ways to structure the ceremony and party to put her at ease. We truly appreciated how he included her in the conversation as an active participant in the planning process; it made a significant difference, and she left the tour feeling excited for her Bat Mitzvah for the first time. The day of the event was seamless. Our guests were greeted warmly by security and door staff, and every employee we encountered was polite and hardworking. The food was excellent and received numerous compliments throughout the afternoon. We also appreciated the flow of the event, specifically having the kids served first so they could enjoy the dance floor while the adults had drinks and hors d'oeuvres upstairs. Deity handled every detail perfectly, allowing us to step back and enjoy the day and our daughter's success. We highly recommend Deity to anyone looking for an exceptional event space.

Honestly, my little ones started testing my sanity by our 3rd day on the trip, but then my SIL recommended I take the kids to PlayWell that morning...and they loved it. We dropped in for two hours and the time flew by. Both kids were so happy, got to burn off their energy, and I didn't even get the "I'm bored" complaint! The highlights: 1. The Ultimate Heat Escape: It's spacious, bright, super clean, and beautifully air-conditioned. A total oasis when it's melting outside. 2. Caters to different interests: The variety of activities is top-notch. They have high-energy set-ups like swings and a zip line, brain-boosting pegboards and puzzles, and pretend play activities like a kitchen and wooden train sets. 3. Smart layout: The space is designed with different zones, so kids can actually get a little separation and quiet space if they prefer, especially nice for the younger kids. 4. Perfect for all paces: It easily handles everyone from crawlers to high-energy kids who like to run or bounce around. We've been to a lot of play spaces, and this one has been one of our favorites. A must-visit!
