City Winery

I went to an event last night for some wedding industry peeps at City Winery in NYC. I hadn't been to the space before and was thrilled to get the chance to take a look. There  are a lot of options for set-up, offering space for both the ceremony and reception. I love the long tables and modern chairs paired with the somewhat rustic design of the space. There is a great stage for a band (and I often don't love "stages") plenty of room for dancing and seating for up to 185.

There are so many ways to personalize the space and you even have the option to customize your own wine and of course you can then customize the label for the bottle. 

Some great vendors participated in the evening including Bees Knees (if you don't know about them you MUST taste some of their YUMMY treats!), Hatch Creative Studio created lovely table designs throughout the space, music provided by On the Move and East Six invites were beautiful.

If you are looking for a unique venue with tons of character you should definitely check out City Winery for your next event.

Find & Recycle your wedding decor

I love the thrill of the hunt and never tire of the feeling I get when I find just what I'm looking for! I often do at 100 Layer Cake marketplace and the recycle your wedding section on Ruffled. Both sites are great resources for everything related to your wedding but particularly for finding used wedding items. I tend to browse mostly the decor section but I have seen some other fantastic finds in other categories. Before you go out and buy something new check them out. And when you are finished, post your items for sale.

Now go and score some great finds!
