MR HOSPITALITY

d reservations around using a DOC service, but I could not be happier with the support we received. Truly invaluable and made our wedding even more perfect.

io and his team were extremely organized, thorough, and responsive. They analyzed all of our contracts and frequently communicated with us and our vendors to ensure that the day of the wedding would be flawless. Any issue or concern that came up throughout the planning process and day of was expertly handled by Mario and his team; their problem-solving skills are truly amazing! We loved how they had solutions for every concern. They took away all of our stress and worries which allowed us to enjoy the wedding with our friends and family. We also truly appreciate how Mario and his team regularly checked in with us during the wedding to ensure that we were happy with everything. If you are getting married, hire Mario and his team NOW! My fiancé and I cannot recommend them enough!!

ospitality for my June 25th, 2022, wedding. I purchased the month of coordination package. By the time I decided to get a wedding planner I had already booked the Rose Garden at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden for the ceremony, and Akwaaba Mansion in Brooklyn for the reception. I am one of those late in life brides who did not have visions of weddings -ever. I knew that I wanted something simple, elegant and something undeniably ours. I do project management for a living- so I thought I’d be able to handle wedding planning. Never have I been so happy to delegate then when I decided to hire Mario and his team of miracle workers- Kristina (I will FOREVER be grateful to you), Kiara, and Sam (you are AMAZING!). First of all, by the time I met with Mario, I had already been in contact with four other planners. Did I mention I started looking for planners two months before my wedding? I decided to go with Mario’s team because during the initial meeting/interview his calm demeanor, his listening skills, and his lack of pushiness made me feel comfortable. I was a nervous wreck, and I had so many questions before I decided to go with Mr. Hospitality. They answered them quickly and completely! Let me tell you. They jumped right on in. Professional, punctual, and personable. At our first in person meeting at the Mansion where I got to meet Mario and Kristina- I knew I was in good hands! First of all, you want a team that can see your vision- and expand on it. Both Mario and Kristiana shared so many good ideas at that first meeting – I was excited for the first time! Kristina is like no other. I miss her right now. She is smart, a design maverick, calm and able to handle any crisis (my menus had not arrived three days before and I was a wreck- she handled it). The design plan they created took my Pinterest ideas and made it a vision of loveliness. Loveliness. I mean I was AMAZED. I had no floral person- no worries they had that covered! I wanted to get my guests from the garden to the mansion and they connected me with the trolley service! We had an unconventional ceremony in the garden. I had an idea of how I wanted things to go and both Mario and Kristina listened to me- and showed me an alternative way that would be good for the videography. I had no idea that I needed to even think about photo lines… They even showed up to practice on Father’s Day!!! Early. The day of the wedding I kicked my heels off to walk the garden barefoot at the last minute. Guess who had my too expensive to leave shoes? Mario. They had EVERYTHING covered. Sam jumped right on in and handled the groomsmen mishap with so much finesse- no one knew they messed up! Also, at the reception she was on her knees cleaning up a mess my daughter made- you can’t buy that level of dedication!! During the reception I had no worries. Everything and I mean Everything was STUNNING and amazing. Kristina kept everything on time and running smoothly! Hire Mr. Hospitality. If you want to know that your event will go better than you envisioned, if you want to work with people who are passionate, personable, and dedicated- I promise you, you will not be disappointed! They are worth every penny.

things as effortless as possible for us. We will certainly be in touch with them again if and when we need another event planned.

every way. No matter how large or small, Mario is the ultimate professional. Highly recommend!

met him (two days before the wedding - though there had been many planning phone calls) at the destination location I knew we had chosen correctly. The event was perfect, the team professional, the vision carried out to perfection and credit goes to Mario and his group. Could not have chosen better!

vent planner and we plan to utilize him and his team again if we have a large gathering.

went into wedding planning with a clear picture of the look I was going for, which was very well over my budget and hard to steer away from after my mind was set. Mario helped us achieve our dream wedding, he never disregarded our ideas and delivered much more than we could imagined. Mario helped us achieve our dream wedding, he helped manage our budget and prioritize as needed. Mario's creativity, and impeccable attention to detail turned the empty and raw space into a true fairytail. Mario and his team were very attentive and consistently available, they helped us screen vendors, offered suggestions for vendors (which were all great from photography to florists to caterers), and always follow up with emails and notes within all parties. Mario made wedding planning stress free as he helped filter emails and information that came my way, this made the experience much more manageable and less overwhelming. Mario and his team made the whole process easy from start to finish, even providing me with a day of assistant who was incredible. Mario and his team made our dream wedding a reality.

ision we had for our special day. With his help, we were able to turn our dreams into reality and celebrate our love.

ners would take full control of the wedding planning and the couple wouldn't have much input in the end. With Mario we were able to communicate all ideas and none were shot down. They did exactly what a wedding planner should do, they helped us create our vision of our dream wedding. Mario and his team took the ideas we had brought to the table and worked with them to create our dream wedding. Mario was actually with us on the day we chose our venue. He walked around with us and helped us envision what our final wedding could look like on the big day, which made choosing the venue that much easier. Mario and his team would meet regularly with us so that they could present new ideas to us and let us know how the expenses were going and how it was fitting into our budget. They even took the time to meet up with our DJ, that my wife and I personally chose, so that they could work together on set ups for the dance floor and etc. at the venue. Mario and his team helped make our lives a lot less stressful by dealing with finding the vendors themselves and then taking the time to find the best quotes on pricing. From the chef, to the florist, to the limousines and on and on, they took care of all of it for us. On the day itself everything was perfect. From the decor that they set up at the church to the venue itself. Everything was well timed and organized. Our familes and friends still talk about how great the food was and how they loved the venue and the way it was set up. I wasn't even able to eat a slice of my wedding cake (stuffed myself on all the delicious food). Everything was perfect. Coffee was served at the end of our wedding to our guests as a little way to warm up (we got married in December) and Mario and his team threw in fresh baked cookies as a bonus free of charge, which was a very nice gesture and greatly appreciated. They always paid attention to what we wanted and even offered to receive the rest of their payment a little after the wedding, just in case. Thanks to Mario and the team we had the wedding of our dreams, with a lot less stress than we probably would of had and one of the happiest days of our lives. I would recommend Lifestyle Event Group to anybody! Anyone who has them working on their side won't regret it and will have their dream wedding when the big day comes!

dn't have a vision for our day or specific colors in mind, etc), which I know only made their job harder. They had to start by figuring out what it is we liked/wanted and build up from there. When we were surfing for vendors at the start of our wedding planning, I found many of them to be unresponsive and difficult to get a hold of. Granted I don't know if their responsiveness would have improved if I had chosen them as my vendor, but Mario was incredibly responsive from day one. All throughout the process he would respond to my emails and concerns almost instantly. We were also planning our wedding from across the country, which was no easy task. He arranged weekly skype calls and conference calls with his team and us to make all kinds of decisions and discuss progress. And whenever we were able to make a quick trip back to NYC he would always arrange to meet us, no matter how last minute the trip. So as far as planning a wedding is concerned, Mario and his team definitely made it as easy as they could for us. Next up: the actual day of, where the good only gets better. They worked incredibly hard to make our space absolutely stunning- elegant, fun and simply gorgeous. Before the ceremony Mario made sure our wedding participants knew where to be and were comfortable with what they had to do. Cocktail hour was unreal (the raw bar with shrimp and oysters was out of this world!!), and dinner was absolutely delicious. The wait staff did an amazing job at serving the food (everyone at a table was served a plate all at once- it looked like it was straight out of Beauty and the Beast or something). And finally, the rest of the party was amazing! Champagne glasses were constantly refilled, the bartenders were great, and everyone just had a marvelous time. They also worked really hard to stick to our budget, and make the most out of our time at the venue. We had some late night passed snacks that were also awesome and much appreciated by all. The day was no easy task as we picked a completely empty space with very little decoration. So everything fell on Mario and his team- from renting the tables, forks, glasses to positioning couches and flower arrangements to brighten up our venue. (Which, by the way, we put Mario and co. in charge of instead of us dealing with a florist). All of our guests just raved about everything. We literally could not have had a better day, or picked a better group to put it all on for us. It was truly, truly amazing. We will certainly recommend them to anyone we know in a heartbeat. Thank you Mario and Lifestyle!
