Enjoyed a picture perfect New York City wedding at the Ukrainian Institute of America, steps from Central Park and The MET for fabulous photos, and three floors of stunning architecture and artwork as our ceremony and reception background.

If you want an elegant, one-of-a-kind, NYC wedding, look no further than the Ukrainian Institute. It is such a grand, handsome space with an old New York feel -- a truly unique venue for out-of-towners and locals alike. The fact that you can use all of the floors is really special, too. We did a progressive reception; we started with cocktail hour on the first floor, then dinner on the second floor, and closed out with dancing and cake on the third floor. So guests were continuously discovering new, beautiful rooms and details throughout the night! Oksana was a joy to work with; she was so generous with her time and was genuinely excited to help bring our vision to life. I can't say enough good things! I am of course biased, but I still think our wedding is one of most enchanting parties I've ever been to, entirely because we got to have the Ukrainian Institute as our backdrop.
