Nothing but positive comments to say about this place. Our wedding ran a bit late (my wife's dad didn't arrive until 15 minutes AFTER the intended start time -- go figure), but the Garden staff was very gracious about the whole thing. They allowed us to go a few minutes outside of our scheduled 90-minute period even though we were the last wedding of the day, and I'm sure they wanted to head home. We didn't have our reception here -- too many people -- but the facilities looked nice for a smaller wedding. The weather was gorgeous, to boot, which made the whole experience fantastic. Worth every penny, in my opinion, and the lady in charge of the weddings really knows her stuff.
If you're looking to get high-quality, slimming suits that made you look like Ari from "Entourage," which isn't the place for you. But if you're simply looking to get something reasonably nice-looking without breaking the bank, you could definitely do worse. Kudos to them for including an extra dress shirt in the package, because you wouldn't believe how much you sweat up there on the altar.
If you have a large wedding party, you can get some good deals here. I think the groom's tux was free, and we got another free one because we simply ordered so many rentals.

We utilized Panache's ability to write string arrangements for pop songs. At our request, they created new versions of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby," both of which were used in our ceremony. I was on cloud 9 the whole time and honestly don't even remember hearing a note, but the string trio was fantastic during the pre-ceremony period, and the musicians made a point of shaking my hand before they left the site. Very professional, very flexible, and very friendly. If you're looking to integrate some of your favorite songs into the wedding, these guys are the way to go.
Ana combined professionalism with a welcome, casual demeanor, striking a balance between both camps. She was frank when she needed to be and encouraging throughout. Throw in some great cameos by her husband, a fine assistant named Shawn, and a cute dog that made all of our meetings fun, and you've got a great bridal consultant. Definitely recommended.
I'm the groom, so my comments might not be as helpful my bride's -- but she's currently sick with the flu, so I'll take the reigns and attempt to be thorough. Emily (my wife) really loved her bouquet and was reluctant to give it up, but Curly Art did a great job preserving the flowers and sort of immortalizing the bouquet as part of a painting. We actually had Betty make three paintings for us -- a large one that's currently hanging in our living room and two smaller pieces that we intend to give our parents over Christmas -- and everything looked amazing. The larger painting included our wedding program, too, and Betty even took scrap pieces of the program's cardstock and made flowers out of them, thus tying the whole piece together. If you really like your color theme, your flowers, your programs, or some combination of all three, then Curly Art is a good way to pay tribute to those aspects of your wedding.
