Need wedding planner, location, caterer, dj, etc, for NYC wedding

Hello,

I am hoping to get married in NY in summer 2008, but need some contacts on the wedding scene. I need a great wedding planner, who will respect my wishes for a Caribbean theme, as my fiance is also from the islands. I don't have a huge budget either as we are hoping to spend $10- 15, 0000 max. I am not sure if that is reasonable but I really hope so.If any of you have any info I would really appreciate it. Since I am not in New York it has been a real challenge getting info.

Thanks so very, very much.

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. I have been reading some of the posts on this site and I must say you ladies really have a real sisterhood going on.
Septbride you said you sent me a private post, but I am not sure where I would read that. I am assuming you meant to my email (and this just shows how much I know about blogs), but I did not receive anything.
Daughter Rhonda I am not sure where in Ny we will be wed. I am familiar with Brooklyn, but because we would need hotel rooms for guests ffom out of town I was thinking maybe Jersey or Queens. I have no contacts or any ideas of where to start. I would like to get married in church, but if there is a nice outdoor setting or a hotel I would love that too.

So if ay of you ladies have any ideas I would love to hear them.

Thanks!

Hi Bajan congradulations!!!

Do you or your fiance attend services anywhere in particular?

Are you both the same faith?

How many guest will you be having?

Where in ny are you residing?

If not NY what would be your other option?

Try www.theknot.com this site has very helpful information, search through the articles. Set up a time line.

I think its easier to post a webpage on www.weddingchannel.com though. Although the information there is not as through as the info at the knot you can still find some great advice thier. i.e they have more information in carridean and african wedding ceremonies.

When in 2008 would you like to get married?

Introducng the new Mrs. Durrant!!!

Hi,

MzTajsia I would more describe myself as spiritual rather than religious. However, if I had to pick a religion I would go with Protestant.
I live in Canada so I will really need a lot of assistance in planning.
I am thinking summer 2008, so anytime from June to August. I know that Summer is wedding season so that is why I am not being too picky about the date. I only wantto get married some where in New York city but it could be the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens...

I live in Charlotte, NC so I can't help you out with anything in NY, I just wanted to drop in to say welcome to the site. I'm sure you will get all the info you need (and some you may not..lol)...
