It's almost a week later and we are still raving about them. They arrived on time and they brought everything they would need to decorate, prepare and serve our meal. I was worried when I learned they were coming because the Air BnB did not have a full kitchen; they only had a toaster oven and a stove top with two burners to work with but let me tell you they made magic! While my husband and I relaxed on the porch Z made sure we wanted for nothing. She checked on us while decorating, setting the table, and assisting Chef Eli. She even managed take pictures for us. The meal itself was incredible. Chef Eli curated a custom menu for us based on all the information provided by my husband. Everything was delicious and plated beautifully. If I had to pick my favorite part I would say I was blown away by the perfectly cooked filet mignon with the best mashed potatoes I have ever had, the wonderful combination of flavors in the shrimp tempura roll, and the decadently rich chocolate lava cake. Not only was the meal incredible but meeting Chef Eli and Z was a blessing. They were both friendly and warm, it felt like we have known them for years. By the end of evening we were sharing camping stories and camping site recommendations. We are so happy to have met them and can't wait to have them cook for us again in the future.

Trying to plan any event with various people can be very challenging and Annie was super responsive to my numerous emails and questions. The price was very transparent and any extra charges were clearly outlined. We decided to add an additional hour and that was a great decision for us. The day of the actual picnic, my friend who had arrived ahead realized that the theme they were setting up was not the one we had selected. I reached out to Annie and she immediately took care of it and they were able to switch to the correct theme before I arrived with the bride to be. The setup was simple yet very pretty and I really liked that we were by a nice big tree for the shade. This is a great service if you want to have a small gathering in Central park and not worry about carrying things or cleaning up afterwards. Would definitely use them again in the future!

Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly responsive, friendly, and such a pleasure to work with. On the day of the event, she arrived early and completed the setup even faster than we had anticipated. She also went above and beyond by helping us set up other elements of the event that weren't part of our original agreement. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and it made a huge difference during a busy setup. Cleanup was just as seamless, and her team member was equally friendly, efficient, and wonderful to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We'll absolutely be working with Annie again and recommending her to everyone we know!

The studio wasn't clean at all. Stuff all over floor and trash full when I got there. You can be charged for leaving it dirty but apparently no one looked at this studio before I arrived. The studio I rented had the rain feature. It's why I use them in NYC and LA. Some of the water features didn't work. At least I had a heater in studio that worked and water was heated. Other photographers there were complaining their studios were super cold. Overall it's okay and pricing can be decent.

The problem was when we got there to set up we were stuck outside because the worker who was supposed to let us in to set up one hour before the show didn't come for almost 2 hours. Bad business.

The venue was featuring a new vodka called 'Rocket Blast Armstrong Extreme Vodka'. I'm really not a vodka drinker but this vodka was good. It had a nice smooth taste. They also served some delicious food, but I forgot to get the name of the Chef. The Host for this event was Will and KP. They did an outstanding job putting this afterwork event together. The DJ was awesome he mixed it up and played all of the hot hits from back in the day to current. This venue can be rented out for special occasions. I had a marvelous time and I will be back.

Everyone kept telling me that I didn't need a photographer for my bridal shower and that so many people will be taking photos. Totally wrong. I can't imagine not having these beautiful photos to look back on. Every time I look back at my album I feel like I'm reliving the event and get all the feelings! Victoria is a complete professional and easy to work with. I honestly felt like she was a friend or a family member at my bridal shower- not a photographer I hired. I received my sneak peaks literally the day morning and my photos only a few days later! My family and I discussed that we will only use her for future events or upcoming photo shoots.

If you're fortunate enough to be invited to an event it's a beautiful building. I can see an aerial view from my apartment window. I've taken photos of the sculptures that are at the entrance. It's such a beautiful architectural work. The details are fascinating. It's sad the mural that I photographed on May 1st, 2018 is gone. There's currently a Black and White of a Woman Holding up her fist on that wall. It's sad when my favorite murals are removed. I'm so glad I took my photos!

They guided us along from the beginning exploratory conversations, through the booking, the food and room setup, to the execution of the event. Wow...they are awesome and they know their stuff! Everything was a smashing success. Special kudos to how they knew all of what to expect too...ie. they were spot on right down to knowing certain foods wouldn't really be eaten as much as others (yes, we went against their advice and yes, we were wrong...lol...but good news is I have tons of leftovers for lunch this week!) Other notes: East Wing is perfect for about 50 people, especially if you need tables and other things laid out in the space. Its well lit but private, their is a bathroom in the room, there are great nooks and crannies to store things (strollers, presents, etc) and the food is both delicious and portioned correctly. We did a lot of research and the way EDBM prices its party packages is by far the best, especially for the nicer ambiance and food quality. They are upfront with all their charges, and at the end of the day, you definitely get more for your money than you would at other places around town of similar size and service. Also, a special kudos to their onsite party host, Lindsay. She is a master party manager, bartender, hostess, problem solver, and generally kind-spirited person. She answered questions, made us comfortable and assisted us in every possible way. Amazing at her job! They all are - Christine, Niki and Brittany. Bravo! We would 100% recommend EDBM to any and all who seek a suggestion for where to have a party.

I can't remember all of the names but I believe there was a Brittany, Christine and I want to say Kate. Our first part of the night we started off at the Gin Mill for dinner. I got to be honest the food was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be. Pasta, Chicken, Steak, potatoes, tator tots, all delicious. Maggie, who was I guess the host of the party was excellent along with our bartender. I cannot remember her name but she was blonde (sorry) and very on top of whatever drinks we needed. I rate everything at this place a 10 Our limo driver Steve who was flat out the man...enough said!!!!! He catered to us as best as he could and went above and beyond. I would definitely have him as a limo driver again. As Steve took us to Down the hatch, the bartenders were there ready to wait on us, and they didn't disappoint. (Maggie called ahead for us!) The one down point of the night was when we ordered wings the staff brought the wings and set them up over on a shelf by the main door. The bouncer came over and asked us to clear the doorway. I understand 100% he was doing his job, but this is where the staff put the wings. I explained to him that we will move out of the way the best we could to not block the doorway, but asked him where were we going to go to eat? I said if you can find us a table I will gladly move. This bouncer had a Dallas Cowboys hat on and, said " you want me to find you a table, not my problem. Okay guy! We left immediately! Guy was just a rude................well you get the point. I called Maggie to explain to her the situation immediately and made sure she knew that we were not out of control, not causing any problems etc.... Next up, 3 sheets saloon. Everything about this place was outstanding. We had a waitress and I can't remember her name, but she was from Australia and she just kept bringing round after round until the open bar time was up! The bouncer Ivan was pretty awesome too. He kept us entertained throughout the night. All in all, the night turned out to be a good time..and I would recommend booking as everything went smoothly with the exception of the bouncer issue, but one guy with an ego, wasn't going to ruin our night.
