Seriously, as a calligrapher located in NYC I am asked for all sorts of advice by my wedding couple clients. Suggestions for places to have event to where to order invitations. This book is a great resource for all to-be-weds, anyone planning a major party event and for all “in the business”.
Joan Hamburg has given information regarding prices and details about services provided that should be helpful for all! Could not find another book like this!

I thought this book was a complete waste of money! This book mentioned very few reception sites in each state. The reception sites that were mentioned were sites that anyone from the New York area would be aware of. If you’re from the NY Metro area you probably won’t benefit from this book. I did give “Everything You Need to Know to Have a Wedding in N. Y., N. J., CT” 2 stars because I’m sure it would help someone who is NOT from New York plan a New York wedding.

this book was a tremendous disappointment in that it listed fairly standard sites and venues, and was not at all comprehensive. there is nothing here that you won’t with a cursory look through one of ny edition bridal magazines.

I used this book and found a few great resources through it. I was disconcerted by the lack of research done by the staff, however. One Brooklyn photographer had never shot a wedding before but said she was put in the book because she had done good editorial work that one of the researchers knew about. I used an ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING videographer, Maria Quiroga, whose name I got from the book. Quiroga’s prices were TOTALLY OFF in the book, however, and Quiroga had never been contacted by the authors. She was surprised to see her name listed. The book also listed the Chemist’s Club, which is a pretty little place, but too small for all but the smallest weddings. Meanwhile, the Yale Club, which is near to it, larger and cheaper was left out. Emphasis is also on high end wedding vendors who are easy enough to find on own’s own.

Elise & Joan: I bought this book for a friend of mine in NYC and you saved her marriage. It’s a long journey from engaged to married and you’ve put together a thorough “road-map” of NYC wedding resources that eased a lot of stress, saved a lot of time, and reminded people that this is supposed to be fun. Brava!
