re grandma” gothic! And to make it a step harder, our wedding was in a very modern looking building in Manhattan. And to make it even one step harder, my husband and I are based in Ireland. Lauren completely understood my vision and designed the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. We had so many friends and family approach us about how beautiful the decor was, and even multiple members of staff and various vendors saying they have never seen the venue look so amazing. Lauren was so organised throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped us look for the best vendors, she went to view different tablecloth landscapes and furniture when we couldn’t (again, we live abroad!) and kept me up to date every step of the way. I have recommended Lauren multiple times to newly engaged friends, and will continue to recommend City and Terrace in the future! You truly cannot get a better wedding planner who listens to the couples’ wants and needs, understands, and most importantly keeps you calm and organised through the chaotic planning process! Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I highly recommend.

r of their month-of-coordination. Basically, we planned our wedding ourselves and then Lauren and Ryan took over for the last month. So, by the time wedding week rolled around, we were totally free to just enjoy our time with family and friends. Lauren was incredibly responsive and diligent. She made our day run so smoothly from beginning to end. Her attention to detail is impressive. She helped us fully realize our wedding dreams. We feel very lucky to have found her and Ryan.

so much easier and we are forever grateful for that! They are so organized, attentive and incredibly helpful and so willing to do whatever it takes to make your day so much more special. They even got us Redbull on the day because they knew we liked it! You can tell that they love what they do and it comes through in their work. We could not have picked a better team to handle our wedding (I could honestly go on and on about just how wonderful they are :D) and I will be forever grateful to them for giving my wife and I our dream wedding!

From the very beginning, she was attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. One of the standout moments that truly showcased their dedication happened when, in the midst of the whirlwind, I realized I had forgotten my vows at home. I was on the verge of a panic, but Lauren, being the incredible coordinator she is, with a calm demeanor and a reassuring smile, took charge. Without a moment's hesitation, she offered to retrieve my vows from my house, saving the day. This level of dedication and quick thinking truly amazed me and put my mind at ease during what could have been a stressful moment. Throughout the planning process, their organizational skills were unparalleled. Every detail was meticulously taken care of, from coordinating with vendors to creating a seamless timeline for the day. Their ability to keep everything on track allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our celebration, knowing that we were in capable hands. What stood out the most was their genuine passion for her work.

us to host it. They also designed all of the decor, hired a Michelin-rated pastry chef to make my gf's birthday cake, and helped us plan an after party. She is really a pro, and I would trust her team with any big celebration.

all adds up to truly the best experience. She scoped out the cutest, vibiest cocktail bar with a private room for us to start the night, and then such a fun, dancey afterparty venue. I can't wait to hire Lauren and her team for more events in the future - I can't recommend them highly enough!!!

not overlook anything in the contract and asked the right questions on our call/visit. Lauren is also helping us stay on track by providing us with amazing checklists of when different items need to be booked including helping negotiate the room block contract! We would recommend their Team to anyone especially with their al la carte services! For us, it was the perfect way to get started with wedding planning and stay organized!

and personal accessories to make them memorable, and we didn’t know where to start. There were also so many additional tasks to juggle, and it was worthwhile to get professional assistance from City & Terrace. They made the planning process much easier, helped up prioritize, and were very attentive to our needs and vision.

that we felt good about, but Lauren somehow worked magic and we ended up going with perfect fits for both. I would tell ANYONE to have City and Terrace plan their wedding. Thank you, Lauren!!

ding come true, and I would recommend City & Terrace to anyone in NYC that is planning their wedding.

d out to be exactly what my fiance and I had always dreamed of. I told Lauren I wanted to propose in the Financial District and wanted a venue within walking distance, but thought I could just kind of figure it out on the fly. After having a quick call with Lauren, she introduced me to so many questions that I hadn’t considered! Lauren took that information from those questions and contacted local venues to make sure it met both my vision and needs for the day. We did a site-walk and pointed out all of the logistics of how the day would work. The day of the big question, Lauren was in communication with attendees of how the surprise was going to work and then with the venue to ensure everything was set up correctly. The day went smoothly and seamlessly from the location of the proposal to the venue to celebrate with our friends and family! With Lauren handling all of the logistics and details of how the day ran, I was able to be present in the moment to have one of the best days ever! We are currently working with City & Terrace to plan our wedding welcome party and rehearsal dinner so we can continue to be in the moment. I’m so excited to be working again with Lauren and City & Terrace and I’d recommend them for any type of event!

to see and then let her go to work. Lauren booked a hotel in the area, booked front-row show tickets, and each different dinner reservation was at amazing restaurants! Each place was in different neighborhoods so we were able to get a sense of the local lives of New Yorkers! Cannot recommend City & Terrace highly enough. We felt so spoiled that I don’t think we ever want to plan our own event again!

and Asia. Not only did she plan my destination wedding and international honeymoon, she recently planned a destination event in Greece. She was crucial in coordinating all of the flights, dinners, and activities throughout the entire trip. Every location was thoughtful, beautiful, and created lasting memories. I would hire City & Terrace again in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend for any wedding or social event planning.
