City and Terrace Events

City Terrace was hands down the best decision I made throughout my wedding season (besides I do). It was really such a joy to work with this thorough, precise, magic-making team. I had guests coming up to me for months asking how we were able to pull off so many special touches on our big day and I can confidently say it’s because of the City Terrace team. They’re the secret sauce — highly recommend working with them!!

City and Terrace Events, run by the incredibly responsive and professional Lauren and Ryan, were simply fantastic. They went above and beyond to get to know us leading up to our wedding, making us feel like our special day was of utmost importance to them. Their services were absolutely worth every penny spent. My husband and I used their month of coordinating services, and if we had known how amazing they would be, we would have opted for their full wedding planning services. They were the perfect coordinator for our wedding, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that the entire process was well-organized. On the day of the wedding, even if we were aware of any minor issues, Lauren and Ryan were already one step ahead, having already resolved them. They truly took the stress out of our wedding and made it a magical experience. We highly recommend City and Terrace Events to anyone planning a wedding.

We are so thrilled write this 5 star review forCity & Terrace. We debated planning and executing our wedding ourselves, but then we met with Lauren who opened our eyes to the wonder 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.

My wife and I absolutely loved working with Lauren and Ryan. They helped to make our day so wonderful and so much more than what we expected. They made this whole stressful process 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!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional services provided by Lauren. Her expertise, organization, and support turned our special day into an unforgettable experience. 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. It was evident that she truly cared about making our day perfect, and her enthusiasm was infectious. She listened to our ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and executed every aspect flawlessly. Her attention to detail ensured that the day unfolded beautifully, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Lauren not only met but exceeded our expectations. Her professionalism, patience, and kindness were apparent in every interaction. She made us feel like a top priority, easing our worries and allowing us to focus on the joy of the moment. Lauren and Ryan were an absolute dream team. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine love for what they do transformed our wedding day into a seamless, stress-free, and truly magical experience. We are forever grateful for their hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a wedding planner or/and day of coordinator who not only meets expectations but surpasses them with flying colors. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!

From our very first meeting, it was evident that Lauren was not only passionate about her craft but also deeply committed to creating the perfect day for us. She took the time to listen attentively to our vision, understand our preferences, and then expertly transform our ideas into a cohesive and magical event. One of her standout qualities is her extraordinary organizational skills. She meticulously crafted a detailed timeline and checklist, ensuring that every aspect of the planning process was flawlessly met. Her team's efficiency with which they executed each task was truly impressive. They were proactive, prompt, and always one step ahead, anticipating potential challenges and resolving them before they even became issues. She has an extensive network of contacts within the industry which allowed us to benefit from top notched vendors. She treated our budget like it was her own and saved us a lot of expense through her expert negotiation skills. Throughout the entire planning process, Lauren remained reliable and a constant source of support. Her communication was always prompt and transparent, making us feel valued and involved every step of the way. She effortlessly managed several last-minute changes and ensured that we would have a stress-free event and were able to focus on enjoying our event. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to turn their dreams into a reality.

I hired City & Terrace to help me throw my significant other's birthday party in NYC, and it was perfect. Lauren is the most amazing planner and found the coolest cocktail bar for 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.

City & Terrace planned my birthday party in NYC, and it was truly the most amazing party I have EVER been to! Lauren is a magical combination of SO FUN and also SO ORGANIZED and it 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!!!

We worked with City & Terrace to book our wedding venue. Their Team was amazing in helping with negotiating with the venue in order to get the best deal and making sure that we did 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!

We worked with the City & Terrace team to set-up a consultation 4-months before our wedding date. We were overwhelmed with all of the logistics. We wanted to customize print items 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. Lauren guided us through a detailed process and helped us understand how specific deadlines are needed for each of those items along the way. After making a game plan, we felt much more at ease about what was needed leading into our big day. She was also conscientious of our budget and found the best ways to incorporate everything we hoped for. We would recommend City & Terrace to anyone, even if it is only for a consultation!! Lauren is really a master at her craft and was excellent at helping personalize our special day!

A highly professional service that ensured the day went to plan whilst catering to our specific needs, Would highly recommend

City & Terrace is a FABULOUS company to work with! Lauren has planned many large events for me over the years. She is extremely professional, organized, creative, and flexible.

My husband and I worked with City and Terrace to plan our wedding and rehearsal dinner, and everything was amazing. It wasn't easy to find our rehearsal dinner restaurant or a band 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!!

City & Terrace made our wedding an absolute dream!! Lauren is the most professional and organized planner and looked after every detail start to finish. We got to see our dream wedding come true, and I would recommend City & Terrace to anyone in NYC that is planning their wedding.

I worked with the City & Terrace team to plan my engagement and surprise engagement party that immediately followed. I don’t know what I would have done without them! The day turned 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!

City & Terrace’s owner planned an entire itinerary for my wife and me to celebrate our first wedding anniversary in NYC. We let Lauren know what major things in the city we needed 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!

I couldn't be more excited that City & Terrace has opened as its own events company. Lauren previously planned several events for me across different locations in the USA, Europe, 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.
