We hired Faro for our wedding at Vetro with Russo's on the Bay. I have nothing but praise for this man and his team. WOW! From the lighting all the way to the decor and the flowers, and don't even get me started on the GORGEOUS seating chart just FABULOUS!!! They make sure the overall aesthetic is perfect. They made sure my day had EVERYTHING I ever dreamed of for my wedding. If you hire Faro and his team at C & L Fine Gifts you won't regret it. He works with you every step of the way to make sure your special event is everything you could ever dream of! These are only some photos of the magnificent things they can do for your special event there's so much more you can add on to your special day!

My husband and I hired Faro and his team to help us plan our wedding in under 6 months due to having to cancel our destination wedding and move it to NYC. C & L’s team made sure we put our covid-wedding blues behind us and got to work right away. They helped us find all the perfect vendors, designed the whole event, and ensured all would go according to plan. We rented an empty loft space in Greenpoint with great bones but needed a lot of TLC to come to life. Faro and his team transformed the industrial factory into a magical haven for wedding bliss. We have not stopped getting phone calls, texts and and emails from friends and family raving about our wedding - from layout, to decor, to florals, to food and everything in between. If you are looking for a wedding team that takes pride in their work and in knowing you can sit back and enjoy your event, We highly recommend C & L for any of your upcoming events!

My husband and I worked with Faro at C&L to provide all the details for our 9/27/19 wedding. The guest favors, seating chart, envelope box, and confettata table were personalized to match our wedding theme. Faro was very knowledge and accommodating and his priority was making sure we got what we wanted. The beautiful touches these details added to our wedding day was perfect. Would highly, highly recommend!

Faro and his team are true professionals. They are very helpful, very professional, and truly deliver on their word. C&L Fine Gifts holds beautiful favors ranging in all prices. Some people see favors as a thing of the past but coming from a traditional Italian family favors are a must and it’s nice to give your guest something to remember your event. Faro works with you.. he shows you all the different options. He wraps them beautifully! I also used C&L Fine Gifts for our seating chart at our wedding. I was hesitate to do something but once Faro showed me some options I knew I had to have it! Truly was beautiful and money well spent. Faro and Anthony came did the set up.. it was everything they said it would be! No worries no unexpected surprises they were true on their word. Being a bride you want to make sure everything will be perfect and with C & L Fine Gifts you don’t have to worry! Plus Faro and Anthony are both very nice people who make you feel welcomed and are always their to help answer any concerns questions you may have! C&L Fine Gifts will be sharing in all my memories to come ! Thank you again xoxo

I used C and L for enhancements for my 25th Wedding Anniversary. Everything was spectacular! Faro really has a vision and makes it come to life. I ordered a flower wall which was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Our desserts and confetti table were such a nice added touch that people were raving about! Our seating chart was also raved about - no one had seen anything like that! If you want unique and beautiful for your event, visit them!

When I first got engaged I knew I had to use C & L Fine gifts for wedding planning. Growing up I would always go there with my mom and they always welcomed you and helped you the best way they can. Faro welcomes you and makes you feel like family. Faro took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for our wedding, and from there he worked tirelessly to help us achieve our vision. Our seating chart was absolutely beautiful!!!! It was a golden garden gate with cascading flowers that had a glass acrylic board with all our guests’ names. I got so many compliments and questions about them. They also have so many beautiful unique favors and gifts that your family will love. My husband and I got a cute sugar and cream cup shaped into Italian coffee pot with two espresso cups as a favor. Looking back on our day, there isn't a single thing we would change. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Faro and his team.

My first experience using C&L was for my bridal shower, I ordered favors, they were the most adorable little tea cup sets .. they were gift wrapped beautifully! My guests couldn’t stop raving about them. I knew right then and there I would use them again for my wedding. This time not only did I purchase my wedding favors from them, I rented their unique round flower seating chart, their beautiful Swarovski card box and Swarovski mr & Mrs sign for our dais table. Our guests could not believe our seating chart, they’ve never seen anything like it before.. Flaro and his team are so great to work with. He has such great ideas and his store is like walking into a dream. You will find anything and everything. I highly recommend C&L they truly helped make our day stress-free.

Faro at C & L helped my mom plan the most beautiful bridal shower that I’ve ever been to, which just so happened to be mine! From centerpieces, to favors, to the dessert table, everything was absolutely stunning. It was a blush and white theme with tons of flowers, so it resembled an elegant English garden party. It was everything I could have envisioned, and more! Faro also helped me with some of the details of my wedding, which included the table numbers, card box, shadow box seating chart, and the confettata table. All of the details turned out beautifully, and I received so many compliments especially about the Confettata table. However, one thing that I wish I could have changed was that there were no locks on the card box that we rented; unfortunately, some of our envelopes went missing from that night. Had there been locks on the box, this would not have been an issue. Over all, I do think Faro and his team are wonderful and collaborative, and recommend using them for any of your upcoming events.

My wedding was June 23, 2019. If I could give them 10000 stars I would! From the moment I walked into c&l fine gifts in Brooklyn, Faro made my wedding planning 10x times easier, I considered him my left hand in the whole planning of my wedding decorations he went above and beyond for us ! He has amazing ideas and will make sure that your wedding is perfectly set up. So if he gives you an idea listen to him he won’t steer you the wrong way ! I can’t stop saying how beautiful and amazing everything was from my custom made sweetheart table and custom made flower backdrop , favors, crystal card holder, my guest crystal drop seating chart with orchids, the decorations on my tables to my suspended cake crystal chandelier. Everything was absolutely breathtaking!! Check out the pictures he posted of my wedding venue room you will fall in love with the work that they can do it’s out of this world. Faro and his staff made my wedding an absolute fairytale, people keep saying they never seen a wedding like this before how beautiful and breathtaking everything was set up. I want to say thank you so so so much Faro & your staff for making my dream wedding come true. You guys are the best !

Just the greatest owner and staff. We were very happy with our purchase and their service. They all went the extra mile to satify us with all their help. They also have a fine selection, some would say too much of a selection. They have a style that is just beautiful. They will help you narrow down a selection. They are awesome and will come back for favors and other stuff for other parties. Thank you for everything!!!

I cannot put into words how remarkable my wedding was thanks to C&L. Ever since I was a little girl, I had a vision of how I wanted my wedding to be... and thanks to C&L - all of those visions were brought to life! From the breath-taking centerpieces to the stunning sweetheart table, I felt like a princess the entire night. Also, I hired my entertainment with them... my guests are still taking about the champagne lady and the fire belly dancers. I can’t wait to plan my baby shower with them!

My husband and I booked C&L Fine Gifts to decorate the venue for our daughter's Sweet 16 party. The team was extremely professional and took care of every detail for us. I was stress free. When we arrived at the venue, we couldn't believe how beautiful everything was. It was so much more than I could have imagined. They really made all my daughters dreams come true. All our gusts could not stop raving about how beautiful the decor was. It was a magical night for all of us.

My wedding was July 2018 and I had the most wonderful experience with C & L and their employees, Faro and Anastasia in particular. From the moment I first walked into their store I was warmly welcomed and assisted. I had purchased favors, and rented table cloths, runners, a card box, candle holders and some pieces for our sweetheart table. Everything was beautiful and high quality. Throughout my planning Anastasia was so helpful and would regularly reach out to me with ideas and plans, I cannot thank her enough for how stress free she made decorating my wedding. On my wedding day she came to the venue and set everything up perfectly. I would recommend them for any event you have, especially a wedding. Their products are of high quality, and the same can be said for their staff. Thank you again for all you did!

C and l is def top notch! Words cannot express my gratitude for to the staff. My wedding was something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of them. I came to them with a simple idea and they worked their magic and brought it to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again and if you think you can go with just any one THINK AGAIN!
I am so grateful to have had their help. They always put me at ease that they had everything 100% under control and they did. It's like they were reading my mind!! I loved everything they came up with! They respected my input and added a special designer eye to my ideas. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment... I will def be using them for any event I have in the future to make my ride run smoothly elegantly and right!
