Wedding Design & Styling

You’ve got a vision in your head. Maybe it’s a color palette. A mood. A flower you saw once in Prospect Park. Maybe it’s a whole vibe: “Moody vintage with a little Brooklyn edge.” Or “Modern garden party but not cheesy.” Whatever it is — we help bring that vision to life.

At MJ Wedding Planner NYC, our Wedding Design & Styling service is all about turning your ideas into a wedding that feels like you. We don’t do copy-paste templates. We design from scratch, based on your story, your space, and your style.

What Wedding Design Really Means

Design isn’t just about flowers and pretty things — though those matter. It’s about creating an experience. One that feels connected, intentional, and full of personal meaning.

It’s:

How the space looks and feels
How your guests move through it
The lighting, the textures, the energy
The mood when people walk in and say, “Oh wow… this is so them.”

From colors and candles to ceremony layout and escort cards — we plan every visual detail with a designer’s eye and a planner’s brain.

Our Wedding Design Services Include:

🎨 Style Discovery

We start by learning what speaks to you. Pinterest boards? Mood words? A specific dress? A vibe from your favorite café in SoHo? We pull the pieces together to define your visual identity.

🧾 Design Boards & Mood Concepts

Once we know the feel, we build a cohesive visual guide: color palette, textures, floral styles, tablescape concepts, lighting inspiration, and more. This becomes our creative North Star.

🪑 Rental Curation

We’ll help you pick the right chairs, linens, flatware, backdrops, lounge setups — whatever fits the space and your style. Don’t want ghost chairs? We won’t even suggest them

💐 Floral & Decor Direction

We’ll pair you with a florist that fits your style (and budget), then collaborate on floral strategy: bouquets, centerpieces, installations, chuppahs, arches, aisle accents — all of it.

💡 Lighting & Ambience

We help design lighting that enhances the space and sets the mood. Think hanging Edison bulbs, uplighting, candles, disco balls — or all of the above.

🗺️ Layout & Flow

We design the ceremony and reception space layout for maximum beauty and smooth guest flow. Where will people enter? How will they move? Where will the big moments happen?

👩‍🎨 On-Site Styling

On wedding day, we’re there setting it all up — placing every candle, fluffing each linen, adjusting the angle of that one chair for photos. Yes, it matters.

For Couples Who Want…

A wedding that feels stylish and cohesive, not random or rushed
Help turning abstract ideas into a real design plan
Confidence in their decisions without second-guessing everything
Guidance on balancing personal touches with guest comfort
A planner who speaks design and logistics

Whether you’re dreaming of something bold and modern or soft and romantic — or something that doesn’t even have a name yet — we’ll help you shape it.

Real NYC Weddings, Real Design Stories

🖤 Brooklyn Industrial Romance

One couple wanted moody meets minimal. We took a warehouse space in Bushwick and softened it with deep burgundy florals, black taper candles, matte flatware, and velvet lounge chairs. Neon signage gave it a modern pop, and the couple’s vows were projected on a brick wall. Simple, dramatic, unforgettable.

🌸 Garden Party on the Upper West Side

Another couple asked for a spring garden vibe — but indoors. We turned a UWS brownstone venue into a floral dream: hanging arrangements, soft pink runners, vintage glassware, and garden roses on every surface. It smelled as good as it looked.

🍽️ Dinner Party with a Twist

One intimate wedding skipped the ceremony and went straight to a 25-person dinner party at a restaurant in Tribeca. We styled the space with custom menus, hand-tied napkins, and a long table that felt like a magazine shoot — but cozy. Guests said it was the most “them” wedding they’d ever seen.

Design on a Budget? Yes, It’s Possible

You don’t need a $200k budget to have a well-designed wedding.

We help you prioritize what matters most: maybe that means investing in lighting and skipping chair upgrades. Or going big on florals but reusing them between ceremony and reception. We make it look luxe — without wasting money on stuff nobody remembers.

Good design is about choices, not just cash.

Client Reviews

“Hiring MJ Wedding Planner NYC was hands-down the best decision we made. We were planning a wedding in Brooklyn while juggling work and family, and they just made everything feel manageable. From vendor recommendations to timeline stuff, they were super responsive and calm — even when we weren’t. The day itself went off without a hitch. It honestly felt like magic. I didn’t worry about a single thing.”

“We had no idea how to plan a wedding in Manhattan, especially since we both work full-time. MJ Wedding Planner NYC came in, asked all the right questions, and built a plan around exactly what we wanted. They found our venue, lined up every vendor, and kept us on track the whole time. Our wedding was on a rooftop in Midtown with a string quartet and candlelight, and it was perfect. We’re still getting compliments.”

“I tend to be pretty detail-obsessed, so trusting someone else with our wedding was a big deal. But MJ Wedding Planner NYC was so organized and thoughtful, I felt comfortable from the first meeting. They stayed two steps ahead of everything — handled vendor drama, tweaked the schedule when our photographer was late, and somehow kept us both calm through it all. Our ceremony in Central Park and reception in SoHo couldn’t have gone smoother. Worth every penny.”

“We planned our wedding from out of state, which could’ve been a nightmare — but MJ Wedding Planner NYC made it feel totally doable. They helped us find the perfect venue in Dumbo, handled all the vendor coordination, and even created a full weekend schedule for our guests. Everything ran smooth and on time, and the vibe was exactly what we wanted. Chill, beautiful, and very us. Couldn’t have pulled it off without them.”

“We had a multicultural wedding with a lot of moving parts — two ceremonies, two outfits, two menus — and MJ Wedding Planner NYC handled it like pros. They made sure every detail was respected and every moment felt seamless. Our parents were impressed (which says a lot), and we actually got to enjoy the day instead of managing it. Total lifesavers.”
