What We Do
We help couples plan every part of their wedding – from daydream to “I do.” Full planning, partial planning, day-of coordination – whatever you need, we do it with heart. You won’t find cookie-cutter packages here. Every wedding is different. Just like every couple.
Whether it’s dealing with vendors in SoHo, setting up a chuppah in Central Park, or finding the right florist in Queens, we’ve done it all. And we’ll do it like it’s our own wedding.
Real NYC, Real Experience
We’ve planned rooftop weddings in Tribeca, backyard ceremonies in Astoria, and fancy ballroom events in the Upper East Side. We’ve worked with Orthodox Jewish families, multicultural couples, second marriages, LGBTQ+ celebrations – all kinds of beautiful love stories.
We once helped a couple pull off a surprise elopement in Bryant Park with only 3 days’ notice. Another time, we got a band to lug their gear five stories up a walk-up in the West Village. We do what needs doin’.
Popular Wedding Planning Services
Planning a wedding in NYC’s a lot. Venues book fast, vendors flake, and the to-do list never ends. That’s why we offer Full-Service Wedding Planning here at MJ Wedding Planner NYC — so you don’t have to do it all alone.
We handle everything: venue scouting, timelines, budgets, vendor calls, seating charts, backup plans, and more. You just tell us your style — maybe something classic near Central Park or something cool in Brooklyn — and we’ll make it happen. No chaos, no guessing.
We’ve been doin’ this for years at our Midtown spot on 70 W 48th St, New York, NY 10036, and we’ve planned weddings all over the city. One couple had two ceremonies, one dance floor, and 200 guests packed into a hotel near Times Square — and everything went smooth. That’s what full-service means: you show up, and it’s already handled.
From vendor contracts to rain plans, guest lists to food tastings, we’ve got it. You won’t be chasing RSVPs or figuring out what to do if your DJ gets stuck on the F train. That’s on us.
You did all the planning — picked the venue, booked the vendors, made the playlist. But on the big day? You shouldn’t be the one checking if the florist showed up. That’s what our Day-of Wedding Coordination is for.
At MJ Wedding Planner NYC, we step in a few weeks before your wedding and take the reins. We learn your plan, confirm every detail, and make sure the day runs smooth. You relax. We handle the stress.
We’ll build a timeline, call every vendor, manage the setup, and deal with any surprises (like if your cousin shows up late with the rings). From ceremony to reception, we’re your behind-the-scenes team making sure things happen when and how they should.
One couple we helped had their ceremony in Battery Park and reception in a SoHo loft. Tight schedule, two locations, city traffic — no problem. We kept it on track so they could just enjoy getting married.
You don’t need to worry about who’s cueing the music, fixing the place cards, or tracking down the photographer. We’ll be there to handle it all.
Wanna get married somewhere outside NYC but have no idea where to start? That’s what our Destination Wedding Planning is for. Whether you’re thinking beach in Puerto Rico, mountain lodge in upstate New York, or a tiny chapel in Italy — we’ll help you get it all done from here.
At MJ Wedding Planner NYC, we’ve helped couples plan weddings all over the map. We handle the research, bookings, logistics, travel plans, and time zones so you don’t have to. You stay right here in the city while we deal with stuff like finding a venue overseas or making sure your dress gets there in one piece.
One couple we worked with got married in Tulum. Another did a vineyard wedding in the Hudson Valley. Flights, hotel blocks, customs forms for the decor – we took care of it all. They just showed up and had the best day ever.
We’ll connect with vendors at your destination, deal with the local rules, and make sure your whole weekend is mapped out. Need to plan a welcome dinner, group excursion, or brunch the next day? Yup, we do that too.
Not every wedding needs to be a 200-person blowout. Sometimes it’s just you two, a few close people, and a day that actually feels like you. At MJ Wedding Planner NYC, we love planning Micro-Weddings and Elopements — small doesn’t mean less special.
Whether you’re thinkin’ about a quiet ceremony in Central Park, a City Hall wedding with a dinner after, or a little rooftop vow exchange in Williamsburg, we’ll help you pull it all together. Fast, simple, and still beautiful.
We’ve helped couples elope with just a witness and a photographer. We’ve planned tiny weddings with 15 guests and a taco truck in Astoria. We know the best photo spots, the easiest permits, and the low-key vendors who love intimate weddings just as much as we do.
We’ll handle the details — location scouting, timeline, flowers, officiant, whatever you need. Want someone to help find a cool spot for brunch after? Or help coordinate a surprise elopement for your partner? Yep, we’ve done that too.
You still get full planning help, just sized down to match your day. And if things change or grow along the way, we’re flexible.
Some couples want their wedding to feel like a black-tie gala. Others want it to feel like a fashion-forward dinner party. Whatever your idea of luxury is, MJ Wedding Planner NYC makes it happen — without it feeling stuffy or staged. Our Luxury & Personalized Wedding Planning is all about the details that feel true to you.
We’re not talkin’ cookie-cutter fancy here. We mean custom design, curated experiences, and top-tier vendors who actually care. You want your guests walking into the room and saying, “Oh yeah, this is so them.” That’s our goal.
We’ve planned modern weddings in art galleries in Chelsea, high-end hotel celebrations near Bryant Park, and elegant rooftop parties in the Upper East Side. We’ve worked with live string quartets, built custom escort walls, and flown in florals from overseas — not to show off, but to get it just right for our couples.
You’ll get hands-on planning, private vendor meetings, mood boards, style guidance, and full event management. We’ll help you design everything from your invitations to your lighting layout. Every part gets that thoughtful, high-touch feel.
We know how to work with premium budgets and still make it efficient. And we’re not afraid to say “skip that” if something doesn’t add value to your day.
NYC has so many vendors — photographers, florists, caterers, DJs, cake people, lighting crews… it’s a lot. Picking the right ones can feel like a full-time job. That’s why MJ Wedding Planner NYC offers Vendor Sourcing & Management — we find the best folks for your wedding, and we keep everything organized from day one.
We’ve worked with hundreds of vendors across the city — from Brooklyn warehouses to fancy Manhattan hotels. We know who’s reliable, who’s a good fit for your vibe, and who to skip. We don’t just send you a list and walk away. We set up the meetings, ask the right questions, read the fine print, and stay on top of deadlines.
Got a certain look or style in mind? We’ll match you with a florist who gets it. Want a DJ who actually listens to your playlist? We know a few. Need a baker who can do gluten-free and still taste good? Already on our radar.
We also keep everyone on the same page — timelines, deliveries, setup instructions, special requests, all of it. No crossed wires, no last-minute panic. One couple we helped had five separate vendors for their ceremony setup alone — and it still ran like clockwork because we coordinated the whole crew.
You’ve got ideas — maybe a color palette, a mood board, or just a feeling you want your day to have. Our Wedding Design & Styling service helps turn all that into a real, beautiful wedding that looks and feels like you.
At MJ Wedding Planner NYC, we don’t just copy Pinterest. We work with you to build a full design plan — from flowers and lighting to layout and table settings. Whether your vibe is romantic, minimal, bold, vintage, or totally offbeat, we’ll help shape it into something that fits the venue and works with your budget.
We’ve styled rooftop ceremonies in the East Village, candlelit receptions in Harlem brownstones, and warehouse-chic setups in Bushwick. One couple came to us wanting “Brooklyn backyard meets Paris café” — and yeah, we made it happen. Bistro lights, fresh bread baskets, live acoustic trio, the whole deal.
We handle design boards, vendor coordination, mockups, and setup instructions so everything stays consistent. You don’t have to explain your theme to ten different people — we’ll do that for you. We also help you avoid the “too much” trap. Some weddings get overloaded with trends and lose the personal touch. We’ll keep yours stylish but still you.
Weddings in NYC move fast — and things add up even faster. If you’re feelin’ lost trying to track payments, deadlines, and who’s showing up when, our Timeline & Budget Planning service is here to save your sanity.
At MJ Wedding Planner NYC, we build custom timelines that actually work. No copy-paste nonsense. We map out your whole planning process — from vendor bookings to dress fittings to day-of timing. Want hair and makeup done before sunrise? We’ll build in coffee runs and buffer time. Need to get from your ceremony in Central Park to a reception in SoHo during rush hour? We’ll plan around traffic, too.
Same goes for your budget. We help you figure out what things really cost in NYC, not just what Google says. We’ll show you where to save, what to splurge on, and how to stretch your dollars without sacrificing style.
One couple came to us worried their $30k budget wasn’t enough for Manhattan. We broke it down, made a few swaps, and they ended up with a beautiful rooftop wedding in Midtown — with money left over for their honeymoon.
We also track deposits, final payments, vendor deadlines, and due dates so you’re never scrambling last minute. You’ll always know what’s coming up, what’s been paid, and where your money’s going.
