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!!

For almost two years, Karen Brown firmly stuck with me throughout the whole long process of making…read moremy wedding a reality. My husband and I got married on a perfect weekend last April in Brooklyn. The wedding went on without a hitch, and it was better than anything I imagined. Our guests keep saying that it was one of coolest weddings they've ever been to, but judging from that you wouldn't think that there was a long backstory involved to make it happen. Karen is a master in keeping the plan on track, and she coordinated all possibilities no matter what happened the entire time. Something new always seemed to pop up, from an unexpected wedding date and location change, to me suddenly having to move to a completely different city 300 miles away, to ceremony changes, and to us considering starting from scratch to do a city hall wedding midway (which we didn't). AND she seriously saved the day when our photographer couldn't show up at our wedding. Karen Brown's crisis management skills are the sh*t. We would've had to make do with someone's iPhone pics if it weren't for her finding another photographer at the last minute! We couldn't have been more grateful for having her as our planner that day. I thought she took care of that amazingly well: the original photographer called her the night before explaining he couldn't come, and Karen then immediately contacted another photographer, who was thankfully available, and booked her that same night. Karen handled the crisis on her own before she told me on the morning of the wedding so that I didn't have one more thing to worry about. I was completely stressed out in the days leading up to the wedding. If she called me the night before about this I would've lost my mind. So I was engaged for a long time but kept putting off wedding planning since I was always too busy. Karen got me started, making it easier for me by preparing a neat folder of all the info I needed and discussing the big picture. All my husband and I really wanted was a small casual party with good food, and Karen helped us develop a creative concept that fit our budget, which was also small. Being a former interior designer, she knows how to design good-looking events well. In working with her, I felt that she really took the time to really understand us and our needs to give us ideas that spoke to us, using her extensive knowledge of wedding places and people in the NYC area. Karen also had a great way of helping me see answers more clearly when I'm indecisive about things in the process, and that was great since being the decision maker on most everything was pretty stressful. Most importantly for me, since I had so much going on in my life, was that Karen created a personalized month-by-month checklist of what I need to do prior to my wedding date and followed up with me regularly for more than a year to make sure I created a guest list, bought my dress, sent out the save-the-dates, etc. When we were looking around for a venue and vendors, she took time out of her day to come along with us and asked them important questions that I didn't even think of. She also formulated a timeline for the wedding weekend scheduling each happening by the minute and sent it to all the vendors and the wedding party to keep them in the loop. Having everyone on the same page just made everything run much smoother. One of the best things I remember about Karen was that one day she mailed me a letter that was stuffed with exclusive sales at local wedding and accessory shops. She collected these from a recent wedding planner's gathering and thought of me. I was pleasantly surprised and so touched! Not only is Karen the most organized person I know who can be trusted to cover all the bases, she's also very conscientious in everything she does, and she's so pleasant to work with on top of all that. I had quite an exciting adventure with Karen Brown and can't believe we finally pulled it off so nicely! Needless to say, I've recommended her to everyone and will definitely get her on board for my next big party!

This was party on a terrace on the 16th floor, in midtown, and had lots of moving parts to be coordinated.

We absolutely LOVED working with Teissia and Firefly Events!!!!…read more We have the Firefly Events ladies to thank for the most beautiful, seamless and perfect day in our lives! From the moment we hired Firefly, we felt not one ounce of stress or worry for our wedding day. Who knew wedding planning could be so fun? Teissia is the sweetest, most creative, talented and organized person and it genuinely shows through her amazing events. She was there every single step of the way from the concept and design of the wedding, helping us find amazing vendors, organizing and facilitating all vendor meetings, and providing us with professional guidance in a non-obtrusive and tasteful way. With my husband and I both working full time jobs with a full travel schedule, she made planning SO easy and stress free. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and flawlessly executed and it we owe it all to Teissia's dedication to ensure that we had and ENJOYED the wedding of our dreams. We received overwhelming compliments on not only the design details, but how smooth, elegant and effortless the wedding day was. It was the best decision we could have ever made to hire Firefly Events to plan our wedding and feel so lucky to have worked with them. Teissia we love you! - Brett and Anthony

First, we'd like to say thank you to the other Yelpers who gave Firefly such great reviews, because we actually found Firefly through Yelp! After only one meeting we knew Teissia was the perfect person to help plan and execute our destination wedding in Jamaica. It was confirmed that we had chosen the right person when we got to Jamaica 6 months before our wedding and she had set up a perfectly curated list of vendor meetings from thousands of miles away. Throughout the entire process she was organized, thoughtful, attentive and very flexible. She went above and beyond and we definitely could have done it without her. She dealt with all of the vendors, language barriers, family and logistic issues with grace. Not to mention she was extremely pleasant to be around. We felt like we were planning our wedding with a friend. In short she made the experience of planning our wedding really enjoyable. The day of the actual wedding day went perfect and she completely shielded us from all the craziness that happens on that day so our families and us could completely focus on this celebration of our love. Thank you again Teissia, you are INCREDIBLE.
