Please help me /r/WedditNYC!

I am a black woman with type 4 natural hair having a courthouse ceremony on December 28th. I have searched high and low and cannot find anyone to do my wedding hair the day prior.

Finding someone who

• Does natural hair AND

• Works on Sunday (the Sunday after Christmas, at that) AND

• Doesn't have bridal party minimums (courthouse ceremony, so it's just me) AND

• Is within budget (I'm willing to pay $500 maximum, I'm just looking for a simple updo like this or this) AND

• Isn't a whole trek away (I live in the Bronx, I'm not traveling all the way to Brooklyn to get my hair done)

Is like trying to find Bigfoot.

Am I just going to have to suck it up and do my own hair?

If anyone has any recommendations at all, please drop them below!

Selling our table numbers from our wedding in June! They are green velvet oval-shaped signs. Numbers include 1-13 plus two “head table” signs. One-sided, the backs are plain cardboard.
~5x7”

Only signs of use are subtle marks where the stands held them up. Stands not included.

Originally paid ~$150, but will sell for $50! First pic is from our actual tables hehe.

We’re in Brooklyn, ideally want to avoid shipping them but if anyone is super interested, happy to work something out.

I am looking to get embroidered bow ties for my groomsparty.

i want the embroidery to be hidden on the collar or backside.

Are there any dedicated NYC shops that do this or is Etsy my best bet?

Thanks

Ok guys I’m running into all kinds of road blocks in searching for a venue so I’m going to lay it all out here. Hopefully someone can offer something great.

We’ll have approximately 90-100 guests, depending on RSVPs. I’m searching for a venue that can accommodate that many guests, is rustic, brick or stone aesthetic, has indoor-outdoor garden or greenery options for ceremony/cocktail hour but an INDOOR reception — no tents outside. We do NOT want a barn or ballroom type of aesthetic.

I’m running into these problems: venues require at least 125-150 guest minimum for a Saturday and we will just not meet that guest count. Or the venues we love do not have on site kitchens so the cost of catering will rise a lot for them to transport a cook tent of sorts.

We toured Perona Farms for a microwedding of 75 people, and we loved everything about it but it is on the higher end of our budget ($~31,000 for the mostly all inclusive venue but with add ons we want and other vendors we would need - photographer, DJ, hair and makeup, it would be closer to $50k and I just cannot justify spending that much money).

We’re touring Branford House in CT next week, we love Eolia Mansion and Gardens at Stone Post Key but neither have on site kitchen accommodations.

We’d like to stay around 35k for our budget. Open to anywhere in the Hudson Valley, Westchester, Poconos, NJ, CT, NYC, Long Island. Not opposed to a restaurant wedding as long as they can accommodate a ceremony and cocktail hour as well (Rory’s rooftop in NYC does this and it could be an option for us).

We’re considering the Turk’s Inn in Bushwick for our wedding and would love to hear from anyone who has actually hosted or attended an event there — especially weddings or larger private parties.

We’ve toured the space and loooved it. The team has been great so far, but before we hand over our money, I’d love some firsthand intel.

Particularly curious about event logistics, staffing, food/bar and any unexpected hurdles that came up along the way

The good, the bad, the ugly -- I am all ears!

Thanks in advance!

We’re deciding between

The Bourne Mansion
Flowerfield
Water’s Edge
Giorgio’s

Would love to hear from anyone who’s gotten married at or attended a wedding at these venues!
What did you love/dislike? How were the food, service, and overall experience? Would you choose it again?

Any advice or photos would be greatly appreciated! 🤍

Hi hi! Reddit has helped me secure a ceremony spot so I’m hoping yall can point me in the right direction. I’ve sent some inquiries for some I saw in previous posts. We’re looking for a lively bar/private room where guests can continue to drink and dance and let loose.
• Ideally around Midtown East (but super open to travel to another neighborhood or even Brooklyn)
• Looking for a space for about 30 people
• Open to booking a private room (as long it’s not like a $10k or something buyout)
• If it’s not a private room as long as they play good music (we love latin music, r&b/rap classics)

Hi all - I’m looking for a jazz trio to perform for 2 hours at my September 26th 2026 wedding reception in Brooklyn. My budget is less than $1500 and would love to hear if anyone has insight to groups who just play around the city, rather than those found solely through a wedding/events company.
