NJ NYC Wedding Reception Planning Ideas

OK- After several hundred weddings in the past few years, I find myself reiterating what every client has stated prior to the big day. “We want a party, We want everyone having a great time, we want the dance floor packed”.  Priorities are very clear that after all the planning, tasting, and time invested…Bottom Line always- Is: Having a Great Party.

With above information- think about every wedding or party you have ever attended. What stands out? The cake, the flowers, the transportation? No-probably not.  Its The time you had with your friends and family.  The Energy – The Entertainment – The memories of Fun.
