Every beautiful detail of your New York wedding.
From the first venue walk-through to the final encore — the insider's guide to planning a luxury wedding in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Hamptons, curated by the city's most trusted wedding musicians.
A city of infinite possibility — and a thousand decisions.
Planning a New York wedding is unlike planning a wedding anywhere else. A ballroom on Fifth Avenue, a loft in DUMBO, a garden in the Hamptons — each demands a different rhythm, a different vendor team, and a different way of saying I do.
For twenty years, Mareé has stood beside the city's most discerning brides — not only as their band, but as a trusted guide to the venues, planners, florists and creatives who make Manhattan weddings feel inevitable.
