New York Trip Report, Part 2: Got Married

The biggest event of my weeks stay in New York was the wedding, which was a huge task. We (I say we, mainly Jen, my wife) had been planning this for around a year. I had no idea what we needed to do, what we had to think about or anything. All I knew was I needed to turn up & say I do!

Enter Lisa Burton, from the bridal consultant who helped us from start to finish. As part of her service she has preset wedding packages for a plethora of venues throughout New York & Central Park, which are easily tailored to individual needs & prices are given up front for each additional requirement so there are no nasty surprises. Ultimately, Lisa is looking to sculpt your perfect wedding to your requirements & nothing is too much trouble.

Lisa kept in constant contact with us, via email, phone & face to face to make sure we were clear on proceedings running up travelling over & also answering any queries we had or concerns. Upon arriving in New York, we knew what was needed from us in the preparation, just a quick visit to the City Clerk's office to get our wedding licence & then we met with Catarina Bill , our New York planner.

On the day Catarina had everything under control, like Alex Ferguson managing Manchester United she controlled proceedings expertly, giving hairdryer treatments behind the scenes when she saw things beginning to drift & brought them right back into plan giving us our special day which ran smoothly throughout & not a problem in sight. She even managed to cancel the thunderstorm which was scheduled for when we were getting married.

If you are planning a wedding in New York (she also covers seven other destinations), then for the small price I would definitely recommend Lisa & her team to get the job done, leaving you to enjoy a stress free wedding.
