Kasal New York

xpectations. We had discussed thoughts about our dream wedding, and Lyna created an "inspiration board", this helped consolidate all of our ideas. Lyna is organized, detail oriented, and reliable--all of the qualities you want and NEED your planner to have! My husband I have busy schedules, and Lyna was always prompt with answering our emails. Our minds were definitely at ease with Kasal NY. Lyna is also very knowledgeable when it comes to the appropriate vendors; she knew the cost-effective means for our "tablescaping" and our giveaways. I can go on and on and write on why Kasal NY is so amazing, but you just have to hire them and see for yourself. When asked if we we would recommend Kasal NY, our answer is an emphatic--ABSOLUTELY!

ring our first meeting. We didn't even know what our "vision" was when we met; we just told her random stuff of what we kind of wanted and within a few days, she came up with an inspiration board that just made all our little ideas come to life! Her ideas were nothing short of brilliant!!! Throughout the year, we accomplished a little part of the wedding planning at a time. This was very important for us as a couple since we both work almost 12 hours/day from monday to friday and we have a son to take care of, which pretty much leaves us with no time at all to plan the wedding. She helped us EVERY.STEP.OF.THE.WAY. Her ideas were always fresh and outside the box! Without any exaggeration, she pretty much paid for her own services by negotiating the prices for us for each vendor we booked. When everything was said and done, what she saved us in dollars on all these vendors with her 'planner's special rate' was even more than what she charged us for her professional services. She also saved us from costly mistakes and unnecessary overtime charges! She had our backs from the beginning to the very end...from having uncomfortable vendor negotiating conversations to awkward family situations---i mean she had our backs!!! She faced all of these challenges head on with a sweet smile on her face. She was always there to handle all the difficult transactions, negotiations and conversations for us. In the words of Mindy Weiss, she was "part gal pal, part mother, part shopping buddy...gifted organizer, diplomat, time-management guru, psychologist and style consultant". She was every single description above to us, and more. She gave us a wedding that we never even knew we dreamed of!!! She made our PERFECT DAY happen!!! Every single detail was spot on. All our guests were wowed by what she had put together! Honestly, if we were to do it all over again, for the value of what KASALNY delivered, we would have paid double WITHOUT any hesitation! That is truly their value for how good they are!!! Our perfect wedding may be over but we gained a true friend in Lyna!!! Thank you so much Lyna, Jackie, John, Bej, Alexis and Deekee!!! You guys are the best!!! We love you!!!

valuable asset to that wonderful day. A few months ago, we started thinking of our daughter’s 1st birthday party. We contacted Lyna to ask if she would help plan this party, and we got so excited and honored when she said she would. Lyna’s talent is actually hard to describe with words. She just truly has THE gift! I had ideas on what I wanted for the party, but Lyna’s creative genius just elevated them to the next level. I enjoyed the process of preparing for the party. Lyna and I would exchange emails and talk on the phone, and the suggestions she had were just wonderful. The day of the party was amazing! Lyna and her team (Lisa and Lor) paid attention to every detail – the centerpieces, the color scheme, the dessert table, the room layout, the favors, everything. Lyna even came up with a gorgeous outdoor photo booth setup - a tufted loveseat and behind it were flowers inside glass jars hanging from a tree. The overall execution was just beyond what I imagined. Needless to say, our daughter’s 1st birthday party was a memorable one! I am already looking forward to another party with Lyna. Thanks again KasalNY!

all our appointments (venue shopping, cake tasting), which was really important for us because we didn't have a car. We worked with her for a year and a half and she was really a godsend. She helped us find an amazing bakery that made a delicious cake that everyone raved about, a dessert bar vendor that was so delicious my friends are still raving about it, a florist who gave us an amazing deal and really made our theme (1920's) more amazing and introduced us to a stunning venue (I couldn't have dreamed of a better venue myself). She really thought of the smallest things- she found us an amazing graphic designer that did stunning stationary with a 1920s flair and DIYed our escort cards (it came out so amazing) and helped me think of anything I might have missed. She got us a deal on our photobooth and helped us come up with a stunning backdrop. On the day of, her team was so helpful and efficient- we were getting comments from all the guests that nothing felt rushed and it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to and our wedding planner and her team was amazing. We definitely concur! V & G

should be hiring for your wedding!!!!! Originally, my husband John and I were not looking to hire a wedding/event planner because I had already been a part of multiple weddings, and I thought to myself I could plan this myself since it was a local wedding, and I felt I was organized enough to get everything I wanted done. I actually inquired with KasalNY, who I knew of from a friend, because I wanted Day-Of-Coordination which is something we definitely wanted because I didn't want any of my friends or family to have to be in charge of making sure everything was running smoothly throughout the wedding day. Long story short, I was 6 or 7 months to my wedding, and I ultimately decided to book her services for halfway there coordination. I was completely overwhelmed and indecisive about just about everything to do with this wedding. So many ideas I had in mind, but not a clue how to execute these ideas into reality. Lyna made all the things in my head into reality, and even better!!! I had the knowledge of a professional, someone who does this several times a year, and I completely entrusted myself to her. She is truly the fairy wed-mother! She is super nice and sweet, accommodating, creative, even was a therapist to me lol! She knows different vendors that she can refer you to, and makes sure you are getting the most bang for your $. John and I didn't worry about a thing. Her and her team handled everything, and the wedding day was as perfect as it could possibly be. Some1 was with John, someone with me, someone at the church, someone at the reception -- all to make sure that this day would be amazing and awesome....and it WAS! my mini-tennis themed, urban, glamorous, sophisticated NYC wedding came true!:-)

With faith, trust and a lot of patience, was a big key to our love story. We managed to keep our relationship going and brought it to the next level. The years went by and still In love, she came to visit me one summer and after 6 years I finally propose to my wife (Cheryl). The look in her eyes, for me, was priceless. And now, my biggest question is about to come. How in the world are we going to do this? Cheryl was all the way in the U.K and I was in Montreal. After witnessing my friends wedding back in October 2012, Jonathan and Nica (which KASALNY organized), I just had to ask. Did you get any help? And with no hesitation they said yes. "KASALNY is the way to go!" they said. Knowing the success of their wedding and knowing that KASALNY was doing another one, in january 2013, to my best friend Bryan, which is now married to Leanne just told us "it's all worth it". And it sure was Another "EPIC" success. Meeting with Lyna, founder of KASALNY wasn't just an everyday meeting it was more like an adventure, a journey, and importantly where your ideas and dreams become reality. Every small idea we had, Lyna elaborated it and bursted with more and more ideas which brought it to the next level. We came up with a travel theme, then Lyna brought in every aspect of travel, from an airport Lounge, all the way to her team being stewardess. Her collaboration with our in house venue co-ordinator, was very organized and on point. They were very sceptical of her, and after working with her they even said and I quote "she has been the best WEDDING PLANNER they have worked with." You not only get a wedding planner who can carefully negotiate for you, or who books vendors for you, your journey with KASALNY is about having YOUR dream of a perfect wedding become a reality from the smallest details and personal touches. The day of the wedding practice, someone said to me "are you guys nervous yet?" We said "no" they asked why not. We replied "because we have KASALNY here, they will deal with all the stress". Again, the day of the wedding someone asked my wife the same question. She took a breath and said calmly"no I'm actually ok!." Knowing that the lady in waiting (Lora) is there for EVERY need the morning of, is a god send. The day ran so smoothly, we knew nothing that happened behind the scenes. The KASALNY team was so attentive and always made sure our needs were met that day. The detail! Every detail from the guest table to the 'just in case' baskets was perfect. Lyna has a precise eye for detail and ensured everything was well thought of. Without KASALNY, quite honestly I (Jasper) would never know where to begin. We can go on, and keep reviewing KASALNY, but at the end of the day all you need to know about them is that they ARE the number one vendor we would recommend for any wedding. All weddings needs a planner or most importantly a friend like Lyna. On behalf of my wife, we would like to thank Lyna and her team KASALNY for the adventure, the journey of how two countries became a masterpiece of their amazing work. So glad you came into our lives. Cheers to all. We had a lovely time! MTL, UK, MTL, UK!!!

he details so we didn't have to worry, and were professional and courtesy to everyone there. She was able to add small details everywhere that made the wedding very personal and intimate. It was beautiful and more than I could every envision on my own. I can't wait for the pictures to relive the day! Thank you Kasal for making our day so special!

y of booking her to plan one of the most important events in our lifetime. And here I am, 2 weeks later, still feeling the butterflies about how KasalNy made our wedding so magical and surreal that there are no words to describe how perfect it was. Booking KasalNy is probably the second best decision I made after asking Leanne to marry me. Among the many things that happened during our wedding night, not only was it breathtaking but it also exceeded our expectations. It was truly unbelievable. It was more than what we could have ever imagined. Lyna's creative mind and ideas seemed so unreal during the whole prepping period, but when we entered the room to see her creation, it brought tears of joy to my wife's eyes because it was more than she dreamt of, it was a fairy tale. Aside from attention to details during the ceremony and reception, the KasalNY team also never left our sides during our prep time. They made sure we were well taken care of. From making sure we had something to eat to even getting under Leanne's dress to make sure everything looked perfect. They truly made the day feel like it was all about my bride and myself. In the end, they create an event that you and your family can boast about in years to come. We're also fortunate to have found great friends. Thanks to the KasalNY team for giving us the beginning of our happily ever after.

memorable wedding just like the one's on her webpage. Lyna has such a creative mind, her ideas, her excellent taste in designing a personalized wedding and her attention to details; using her expertise and passion will assure you from day one that your in the right hand; in collaboration with Anezka Alvarez - having a wide range of trusted vendors in Manila, very enthusiastic and will make sure you stay happy throughout the whole process. I couldn't find a word to describe how perfect our wedding day was... It touches our heart and all of our guest too. Having a full picture of the event on your mind a year prior , thought we already know what to expect. But it was more than what we had imagined, every single detail was magical... It's something that you will always look back and know that you will always be grateful and honored that Lyna & Anezka planned and execute this special day of your life. I would simply say that it was truly a dream come true! I'm so thankful and i highly recommend their team - If you want a wedding worth remembering, start planning with KasalNY and make your special day a memorable one...

oom reception looked stunning. It was more than what we expected. We've received tons of compliments, that it was eye popping, jaw dropping, stunning view & a hell of a party. KasalNY is really amazing, they take care of you all year long, to the wedding and after wedding. Everytime we meet up with them, we always come home with a big smile & excitement on our face. They're very good, that when we go through a problem, they solve it, if not the same day, then the day after. They always have a back-up plan, they don't stop working until they reach their goal. For example, I send them an e-mail around 2:30 am, received a reply within 15 minutes, in full text and details. They work fast and so FUN to be with, very Understanding, really listens to you. One thing that we really like the most is, we give them our ideas, they deliver it right away with added glamorous features (details, details, details). They always go to the maximum capacity of GLAM. We're so proud and happy to have have them part of our meaningful moment in our lives. With KasalNY, you can't go wrong, they've always have a good reputations, we're not the only one giving this positive review. With that all being said, trust us, they'll take care of you as their own family. Thank you very much to Lyna (the mastermind), Kirby, John, Judy and to their florist, Ivie Joy flowers, you guys were outstanding!! KasalNY!!!

to create a dream wedding for us that we never even knew existed. Our wedding weekend in Aruba was flawless from the welcome party to the final goodbye breakfast.   Over the months leading up to the wedding, we looked forward to every meeting with Lyna. As busy as her schedule might have been she really made me feel like I was her only bride! (Of course this was not true!) She has an incredible talent for pulling wedding visions together while adding the sparkle and sophistication which complimented my wedding vision. Planning a wedding always seemed very overwhelming for me but, with Lyna's assistance, it made the process actually enjoyable and easy.   Lyna really took the time to get to know Chris and I as a couple, which made the experience that much better. She spent time shopping with me to get just the right deals. She was always just a phone call away, when we needed an honest opinion. Or I needed her to tell Chris I was right, which was not always the case. There is no one else in the world we could have trusted to plan our special weekend in Aruba.   During the weekend of our wedding, I did not have to worry about a single detail. Lyna and her team (Judy, Jackie, Ivy, and Nashette) worked behind the scenes day and night to make each moment outshine the next (somehow she even arranged for a little rain shower followed by a rainbow during our pictures) Lyna is not only one of the kindest, honest, and genuine people we have ever met, but she is also a talented wedding planner who puts her heart and soul into her company. We are forever thankful to KasalNY for making our dreams come true!

ng company I looked into and with good reason. From our first meeting and subsequent meetings thereafter, it’s easy to see why Lyna is a successful wedding planner. She, of course, brings her expertise in the subject of all-things wedding related, but her best quality is her passion. When she gets excited, you get excited. She makes you feel as if your wedding and reception will be the greatest of all time (and if you were there, ours truly was!). The one thing I appreciated the most was her attention to detail and scheduling. For anyone who is coming through the home stretch, especially the last few months before the big day, everything task, errand, and appointment-oriented may seem very overwhelming. However with Lyna’s guidance, every single detail was painstakingly prioritized to the day, hour, and minute. For my new wife and I, having jobs with individual busy schedules and seemingly little time to plan our wedding, Lyna made it easy for us. She was in constant contact with us to ensure we were on the right path. But we can’t give Lyna all the glory. Her team, consisting of Judy and John, were massively helpful, bringing with them staunch professionalism while letting there colorful personalities shine. Lyna and Kasal NY really brought the wow-factor to our wedding. Our guests raved for days about how the reception hall was staged. From the placecard settings, to the homage of family photos, the hall was exactly how we envisioned it to look, even exceeding our expectations in every aspect. Lyna and Kasal NY have something special. They are in the business of making people happy. One may ask why they would even do it? Why take on such a daunting task of planning a wedding for two perfect strangers? It’s to create the moment and witness that glint in each couples eyes when they witness something truly awe inspiring.

first meeting forward, all of KNY was smart, kind and genuinely interested in our happiness and the splashes of style we wanted. Whenever we requested objects or concepts that were not available, KNY quickly replaced these with items and ideas of equal or more awesomeness. Lyna (the owner) manages her emotions and thoughts well, allowing for proactive conversations. Lyna would periodically text with creative ideas, revealing that she was thinking about us continuously and is full of inspiration (eg she found a small surfboard on which guests could sign special messages; this became a hit at the wedding & a lovely decoration for our home!) With a penchant for fashion-forward style, Lyna would set organizational meetings at some of the swankiest places in NYC and Long Island, making these meetings as much fun as productive. Lyna once visited our condo to catch-up, and it was a heart-warming evening. Moreover, Lyna demonstrates a rare, personal investment in her business by directly responding to any problems we have had with vendors. In particular, we had tremendous issues with the venue, and Lyna made sure to put my bride and me at ease and to make the venue aware that their business was anything but professional. The rest of the KNY team is authentically friendly and caring. Jacqui is lovely inside and out and was very attentive! I plan to hang out with John, because he is a neighbor and a fun person. This fraternity is a great example of what the KNY crew will do for your special day and for your life: Kasal NY will be there to support and respect you as if you had been friends for many years. I recommend Kasal NY without reservation and with great happiness! Working with Kasal NY is like a pleasant dream, and they will make your dreams come true!

came to getting everything together and choosing to keep my sanity (and my fiance's sanity) through the whole planning phase, especially since I had roughly only 4-5 months before the big day! Earlier on, I was attempting to go the DIY route. But after a month or so, all I had was my color palette, my venue and a potential list of caterers. I had some ideas of what we wanted, but couldn't get the whole picture of our wedding pulled together in my head. Enter Lyna and her team, who pulled all of it together like MAGIC! With Lyna, it was a great meeting of the minds to meld our ideas together. She had the right contacts and knew who would "fit" our style best. She would even make suggestions and recommend things that I never even considered (and should have!). And especially with the weather prediction for our day getting worse by the minute leading up to the wedding, Lyna was able to immediately come up with a plan B AND C for the rain :) Come the day of the rehearsal and the wedding itself, our entire bridal party, our family and guests were raving about how well organized everything was, and how beautiful and gorgeous the church and reception venue looked. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and were well taken care of. With Lyna and KasalNY, I found that it wasn't just about hiring someone to plan and organize things for me. She and her team are genuine people who truly cared about getting our wedding right and PERFECT. She was a friend and sounding board when I found myself starting to fret about the little things. She and her team made sure we were all relaxed and just had FUN! Humberto and I really couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you, Lyna and the wonderul KasalNY team! Love, Christel and Humberto

f the wedding. We wanted everyone to enjoy themselves and not worry about making sure the room was perfect or things were running on schedule. The day went so smoothly thanks to Lyna and her team. Both our parents were so thankful for the Kasal team, as anything they needed was found or purchased in a matter of moments. I can't imagine going through that whole process without Lyna and her team. Everything was taken care of and the whole day was PERFECT.

g to end with her creative ideas and vendor recommendations. We really didn't have many ideas about how we wanted our wedding to look, or what we really wanted. All we did know is that we didn't want a cookie cutter experience. She was patient with our indecisiveness and assured us that all would be well. She really nailed the simple but chic and unique feel we came to love. Our wedding day went so smoothly and was more perfect than we ever expected. Her team even managed to get Buddy the Cake Boss to make an appearance during the evening. All of our guests have raved that ours was the best wedding they've ever been to, and we have KasalNY to thank!

pping around for the perfect planner. Stumbling upon the work of Lyna, from Kasal NY, I knew instantly I wanted her to help plan my wedding. Lyna is a never-ending burst of energy, whose creativity never stops flowing. She has such a passion for what she does, and it shows in all of her ideas and end results. She has the capability of having an amazing vision, and going above and beyond to have it come to life. No matter where she is in the world or what is going on around her, she makes time to answer every email, at any hour of the day. And just when you think she's too busy to handle something at the moment, she emails you with any new ideas that have popped into her head to make your wedding even more beautiful. She always had my best interest in saving me time or money, and was never pushy about any of her opinions. I have to say, the last 2 weeks before my wedding, Lyna was my lifesaver. Any issue that came up, she was there to immediately handle it and ease any worries that I had. The night of the wedding, when I saw everything laid out in front of me that took about a year of planning with her, tears were streaming down my face at how beautiful everything looked. Every email, every freak out, every minute planning was well-worth it. And at the end of the entire wedding planning process, I not only found a great planner, but a wonderful friend who is always welcome in my home.

up getting. We could not have done it without Lyna. She is absolutely amazing. Our wedding was everything my wife envisioned and then some. The details and the ideas that Lyna came up with were amazing. She always seemed to put ideas out there that we were thinking about but couldn't quite put together as well as make our ideas/visions a reality. There are always hiccups along the way and it was great to have Lyna there to help ease my concerns and make all those things right. I can not stress enough how much we owe her for making our wedding day special, memorable, and just outright gorgeous. I could write for hours all the things that she has done, from saving us tons of money to just her reach of vendors. But the bottom line is this, if you want an amazing wedding, the one you girls envisioned growing up, Lyna and her team will put it together. KasalNY, we love you. Lyna, we LOVE you!!! Love Pete and Hazel

ng to be, recommended great vendors, always had cost savings on her mind and also gave us unique ideas to incorporate into the reception to give more of a "WOW" factor. Lyna's creative vision is top notch! Even though there was a hiccup in the process Lyna found a quick solution and was able not to stress out about it. In the end our wedding exceeded my expectations, the way they transformed our whole reception into my purple butterfly wonderland hehe. The day went by so fast, but I felt relaxed and stressed free the whole day. All my guests were raving about how beautiful everything was and that would have not been possible without the beautiful KasalNY ladies :)

finitely use Lyna as my wedding planner as well. There is too much to say about how amazing Lyna and her team is, so I won't get into every detail, but the bottom line is that she and her team are truly talented, passionate, and dedicated to what they do. My wedding was a little over 2 months ago, and I still have relatives calling to tell me how beautiful everything was and how it was the best wedding that they had ever attended!!! Thank you Lyna and Kasal for truly creating the best and most memorable day of my life! My husband and I jokingly say everyday how we can't wait to renew our vows so we can have Kasal plan another event! LOL :)
