SWANK Productions

team we immediately knew they were up to the challenge! We were quite vague about what we wanted and at the same time we had specific things from our cultures we absolutely wanted to incorporate. All the rest basically we left on their hands and the result was simply spectacular!! All of our 120 guests couldn't stop telling us how beautiful everything was and what a great event it had been! From the ceremony setup, the flowers, the tables and silverware, everything was spotless!! All the vendors they put us in contact with, for the flowers, music, rentals, invitations, make-up, photography, etc were very professional and provided us with top quality service each time!! The result was a very smooth event where everything fell into place harmlessly. My husband and I felt we were floating trough the whole thing without a care in the world and enjoying every minute of it!! And there were lots of minutes to enjoy as we absolutely wanted to party all night long and the reception wasn't over until 3 AM!! When we all left tired and super happy with everything, Swank was still there wrapping up for us!! Maya, thanks again for everything!! If we ever throw a big party again (maybe for our 10th anniversary? ), Swank will be definitely the first people we will call!

wanted a creepy haunted Halloween theme type wedding. Maya and team took the time to listen to what we wanted and then came back with inspiration boards and creative ideas that just took our wedding to another level. From the beautiful and creepy wedding venue of the Hempstead House to every last detail, everything was carefully thought out and planned. Her design and execution of the theme was one of a kind and left us and all our guests enthralled and speechless. Maya and team created a creepy Sleepy Hollow type setting with low lying fog, dark grey shadows, a haunted walk thru during our cocktail hour (set up thru a Production Company) , creepy organ music, haunted actors/actresses wandering the mansion during the cocktail hour, beautiful lighting and décor to capture and enhance the mood of the wedding. Maya and team thrive on details and on being original. Even though we were having a Halloween themed wedding, there was not one orange pumpkin or any of your typical orange and black Halloween décor. Maya and Swank productions take care of everything from start to finish. Maya has contacts with the best in the wedding industry and these services range from: printers/stationary people, caterers, music and band, photographers, videographers, lightning and special effects, tenting and décor, transportation, cake makers, wedding salons, and custom tuxedo makers and every other thing you can think of. What truly sets Maya and Swank apart is that they genuinely and whole heartedly care about their clients. Maya’s enthusiasm and passion is infectious and her positive attitude and calmness during the whole process is critical. This was really put to the test on our wedding day. We got married on October 29th, YES the day of the massive Noreaster that blanketed the east coast. We were to be married outside on the water under a clear tent erected to keep our guests warm during the ceremony. But with 35mph winds and rain/sleet/snow, Maya and team quickly and effortlessly moved the ceremony into the Mansion, never once looking panicked or frazzled. Maya was in total control and we got to enjoy our wedding day stress free. All our guests who came to the wedding could not stop raving about the surreal Sleepy Hollow wedding theme and the attention to detail of the evening. Not even rain, sleet and snow could put a damper on our big day. If rain on our wedding day is suppose to mean good luck well looks like we are going to hit the lottery and that’s how we feel about having Maya and her team as our Wedding Planner.

endor and design choices. The planning process was incredibly easy and enjoyable, thanks to Swank's professionalism and great contacts in the industry. Then the two weeks prior to the wedding, and on the day itself, when most brides are going crazy, they handled EVERYTHING. Literally all we had to do was show up and enjoy our dream party -- which was designed exactly to fit our requests and personalities. Turns out that during the eight months we had been talking, Swank had been listening to every single thing we said and delivered a night beyond our wildest dreams. There are so many fantastic things about Maya and Josh, but probably the best thing was the design they came up with for our big night. After seeing plans, sample tables, and media images we thought we were prepared for how beautiful our night would be. Their ideas were amazing, but nothing prepared us for the stunning wonderland we walked into the night of our wedding. We couldn't believe it, and spent the whole night breathless with the beauty of it. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it, and I still can't believe the pictures. Hire them. They made what can be a stressful time, easy and fun, and memorable. My husband and I and both of our families now just call it "the dream wedding," because that's what it was. Thank you Swank!

ir lives. Swank put in tons of effort to understand us personally, never stopped listening (I emailed Maya, Josh and our poor team 100x/day for 6 months), and they delivered a wedding so amazing that I had no idea I could be at the center of something so...elevated and gorgeous, yet still definitively laced throughout with our own quirky fancies. With their patience, professionalism and extreme creativity, they guided us through all steps, eased our nerves and ensured no stone was left unturned. Swank hooked us up with some fabulous vendors (the likes of which I've never encountered at other weddings) and were open to researching others for comparison. We heard only positive feedback from all our vendors about working with the team. Most notably, we were at first very disappointed in our bland venue options in NYC or its proximity, but Swank found us a completely unique spot and tackled with genuine enthusiasm a challenge from which others would've run screaming: our waterside castle had insufficient electricity and lighting and no kitchen or air conditioning (August wedding) - there is NO WAY we would've found or considered it on our own. Swank didn't break a sweat...and I wish I could link to the pictures! Everything was crafted with such expert care and personalized touches that even our most jaded guests gushed. Without Swank, we'd have been stuck by default with a more cookie-cutter wedding that perhaps only we would've remembered as perfect and magical, but they helped infect the entire party with a lasting sense of true celebration for our marriage.
