A day that surpassed all expectations

We cannot recommend Una highly enough for anyone seeking a wedding planner who is truly exceptional in every aspect. From the very beginning, Una demonstrated an unparalleled level of communication, always ensuring that every detail was addressed promptly and thoroughly. Her recommendations for vendors and those little touches that made our day unique were spot on and contributed immensely to the seamless flow of our wedding, all while ensuring we stayed within our budget without sacrificing quality or creating unnecessary strains related to planning.
Speaking of the day, Sound River Studios was an absolute dream come true. The venue was a magical space, providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The New York skyline was breathtaking and set the most stunning scene for our ceremony, especially on the terrace which was nothing short of spectacular. The entire staff, including the bartenders, Tijana, and Edo, were incredibly helpful and lovely. We were especially touched by Tijana's kindness, who went above and beyond by helping my mother-in-law neatly write her speech on the day of. This kind of support and generosity is truly appreciated.
Thanks to Una, the entire process, which can often feel overwhelming, was transformed into a delightful journey. She handled every challenge with grace and efficiency, making us feel supported and confident at every step. The result? An absolutely perfect day that surpassed all our expectations.
We’re so grateful for the role Una played in making our wedding dreams come true and look forward to keeping in touch. Thank you, Una and Sound River Studios, for everything!

Couldn't Imagine Anywhere Else

SRS was the perfect venue for our wedding. We loved the ceremony on the pier, and the event space was a perfect layout for what we were looking for. Una was an incredible planner who kept us on track. She's a pleasure to work with
