I want to first start by saying Raquel is AMAZING! I would highly recommend Raquel for a memorable event and wonderful planning experience. I had the honor of planning my younger sister's bridal shower in NJ. Because I live in NC and the challenge of planning an event from out of state, I decided to enlist the help of a planner. I engaged in my own "RFP" process searching then scheduling time with about 6 planners in and around the Tri-State area to ask them questions about their services, process, price, etc. I have to say hands down even in that part of the process Raquel was the most responsive, professional, and attentive to all of my questions. She even sent over ideas and pictures based on our first discussion before I decided to work with her. It was an easy choice choosing her out of everyone else I vetted. Raquel paid attention to EVERY detail for the bridal shower. She was an excellent planner and partner in the process. She was again very responsive and organized both during the planning and on the day of the event! She handled invitation and RSVP management, provided a wonderful recommendation for a caterer, provided decor, flower arrangements, you name it! Her skills and services were exactly what I was looking for and needed to make the day super special for my baby sister! I can't say enough great things about the whole experience, which would have been so much more stressful if I hadn't found Raquel. If you are looking for an experienced, professional, creative, detail oriented, super sweet planner for your special event, call Raquel today! Raquel - Thank you for everything! You made my sister's special day everything she hoped for and I couldn't have done it without you!

Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West

I can't say enough wonderful things about Penthouse 45 and the amazing Julia. From day one, Julia…read morewas fantastic: responsive, thoughtful, and truly a partner through every step of planning the conference I organized there. She made the entire process feel easy. The space itself is incredible, and the view is absolutely beautiful. Having everything available in house made such a difference and took so much off my plate. The staff is outstanding across the board, everyone down to the doorman who helped us. Every single person we interacted with was amazing, and I'm so appreciative. Penthouse 45 truly made me look good in front of my boss and attendees and made my job so much easier. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning an event in New York, and I would love to work with them again in the future. Thank you, Julia and team!

We had the BEST TIME celebrating our wedding at this fantastic venue. The city views are awesome;…read morethe large balcony is such a nice touch (sadly, there was a hurricane during our event, but all our guests were able to have a great time partying inside). The rental is just for the space, but they have a ton of recommended, vetted vendors you can explore to supply anything else you'd need for an amazing event. The cost was shockingly affordable for midtown, especially considering the views and convenient location. Julia, the events coordinator there, went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure we had everything we needed. We got tons of compliments on finding such a great space from all our guests. Highly recommend!

Central Park

My best friend and I hired Pop Up Picnic NYC for our birthday celebration…read more I loved that a location was chosen for us, given my little knowledge of the park. We were situated in a spot with a great view of Belvedere Castle and close to restroom access. This was such a sweet way for our friends and us to celebrate each other during the day. All setup was included and the aesthetic and atmosphere was the perfect combination of casual, cozy, and fancy that we were looking to achieve. Setup includes lots of blankets, pillows, 2 outdoor games, and a board of snacks. This is a wife and husband duo and their local, small business - was wonderful to be able to support them and the creative business model they've established. Once we arrived, they made sure to spend time to ensure we were comfortable and to get to know us before they left us to celebrate. It was apparent they put lots of time and love into their efforts and the setup! There was a last minute 45 minute pushback in our reservation time. As I understand, this was driven by catering and I felt like the company handled it professionally and they were sure to extend our time on the back end. Luckily we were able to do so as we did not have other plans that this impeded. The pricing is a bit on the steep end; however, more manageable if splitting with other members of your party. It also is rather comparable to other companies I inquired with. A few recommendations and suggestions I have for Pop Up Picnic NYC include: - Providing more water, even a cooler with water bottles would've been great as those were heavy to lug around - Shade. It ended up being a rather hot day and we were not near any shade, perhaps moving the space a bit to find some shade or including decor options that provide shade (umbrella, etc) - Access to the owners and info on the company is all through Instagram. It was great having access to images and videos from their previous picnics; however, there was limited access to what exactly the company offers. Even a one-pager that could be shared via email to explain the various options (including pricing & logistics) would've been great in speeding up the booking process - If able (I'm not at all familiar with park rules here), offering alcoholic beverage options/packages would certainly be worth considering. I would have absolutely given that option a look through All being said, I would absolutely recommend booking with Pop Up Picnic NYC for an event you're looking to plan. I will also have them top of list myself going forward when looking to book a similar event - I can only imagine how cozy one of their picnics would be in the fall. Thanks to Stephanie and team for making our birthdays memorable!!

I really didn't do anything except tell them the details and picked out a color lol. What they created was amazing, I was shocked at how good it turned out!

I would recommend this business to any of my friends interested in throwing a party. I planned my…read morehusband a surprise birthday party while I was traveling internationally and Mark was really helpful. He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

They delivered the fabulous balloon arrangements right on time (a couple of hours before the party) and the delivery person was very helpful and friendly! Almost everyone at the party told me how much they loved the balloons. A great experience from start to finish!

From our first…read moremeeting Greg Telleri was incredibly helpful, answering my multitude of questions promptly as I was planning my first mitzvah. He promised that the team would be amazing and they were. Our MC Tarik took the time to get to know our daughter and our entire family, learning our personalities, style, and what would make the celebration feel uniquely "us." The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and the vibe was nonstop fun, engaging, and high-energy. They knew exactly how to read the room and keep guests of all ages entertained and involved. Our daughter had the time of her life, and so did our guests. We continue to hear compliments about the party and the amazing entertainment. We can't recommend them highly enough and would absolutely use them again for future celebrations!

The team organized every detail and Irmak always is there to insures that everything goes perfectly. Can't wait for many more events for our family and the privilege of working with this incredible group of professionals. I am always happy to speak live and be a reference. Thank you Untouchable events, all our guests were so appreciative of you.
