🙋🏾‍♀️ Long time lurker, here. I found my best vendors on this sub, so I had to do my part and pay it forward with the information I was able to obtain. Please keep in mind that I planned this entire wedding from Tennessee. My joke for wedding planning was that the wedding was planned purely “on vibes.” Every vendor that we chose was someone that we just personally clicked with and hoped that their work product was amazing. I believe we got such great prices because we were a small wedding and doing it in the winter time at the very end of the year. 

Location - Brooklyn Bridge Park at 10a.m., A permit was necessary. The permit was $400. We got married at Pebble Beach. It was a morning ceremony and there weren’t a lot of crowds. My wedding planner was able to “block off” the location to make it more secluded. 

Hotel - Box House Hotel. Phenomenal staff and location for the price on NYE. 

Photographer - Adam Ciccarino Photography. I cannot recommend him enough. The most amazing photos I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Adam is also the kindest human.

Wedding Planner - Nina @ Stunning & Brilliant Events. My entire family swore that she could take over and run a small country by herself. Highly recommend. 

Reception - Sunday In Brooklyn. Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing price for a private dinner with multiple courses. It was $85 per person. 

Makeup - Markie J. My makeup didn’t move for the entire evening. Amazing energy, too. 

Hair - Beauty Icon NYC. They were great. I don’t recommend them for anyone with a diverse texture of hair because they did not know what to do with that. Thankfully, I had extensions in.

Florals - Ol’thorn. Beautiful natural flowers. More organic and less structured if that’s your thing. 

The biggest expenses were the florals and dinner. Everything else was bare bones. No chairs, no decorations for the ceremony. I did a lot of bargaining and haggling to get the prices within my budget, but it was worth it. 

An absolutely perfect day.
