Ultimate USA Weddings

Wow, I can go on and on about how Marissa and Sandy absolutely saved the day but i'll try and keep it short! Our original venue cancelled on us 1 month before we were supposed to get married. I found Sandy and Marissa via google and luckily they were available for us to have the Central Park wedding of our dreams!! Planned in less than 3 weeks, They were extremely efficient, professional, on time and exceeded any expectations we had. Couldn't recommend them enough!! Worth every penny. Thank you so much!!!

Exceptional….Ultimate USA Weddings have provided us with the perfect wedding ceremony we wanted! After initially engaging with them in December 2019, Sandy & Marisa have made the journey to our wedding day, absolutely faultless. Our dream was to have our wedding in New York City, and we travelled 3,500 miles from England, to have our ceremony at the Top of The Rock. We opted for the Gold Wedding Package and added on the vintage ‘NYC Checker’ taxi, and hair and make up package. Sandy & Marisa are very professional and have a passion for what they do. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they also helped steer us through the COVID pandemic, which delayed our wedding date by one year. It was so worth it, and we would never have changed it. Zuleka, who did the hair and make-up for Nikki, made her feel very comfortable and brought out her natural beauty, with the effect and style she was looking for. The bouquet and buttonholes Sandy & Marisa organized were exquisite. Their photographer, Aaron, made everything so much fun, he captured every moment of our day, even stopping the traffic on Fifth Avenue, to get a group shot in the heart of the city! We cannot recommend them highly enough, and would go through it all again, if we could!

For any bride wondering if they can bring their bouquets home on the plane, the answer is yes! Nikki wanted to have some of her blooms preserved in a resin globe, as a memory of the day. To do this, the company we approached in the UK, said that they could do it if we could get the flowers to them within a week of the wedding. We kept the bouquet in our hotel room, in a large container of water. On the day we flew home, we removed any metal pins securing the ribbons to the flower stems (the pins are considered ‘sharps’, and wouldn’t go through airport security), and wrapped the stems in a damp face cloth, ‘borrowed’ from the hotel. Make sure the cloth is only damp, and not saturated, as there are limits on liquids going through airport customs. We then wrapped clingfilm/shrink-wrap around the face cloth and stems, and placed the complete bouquet in plastic carrier bag, which we carried on as hand luggage, after first being scanned through the x-ray machine. We flew with British Airways, and on our outbound flight, checked with the cabin crew to ask if it was possible to bring the flowers home, and they said it was no problem. It would be worth checking with your own airline first, just to be sure. The border controls at both JFK and Heathrow airports, had no issue with us bringing the bouquet back either!

Ultimate USA Weddings, Sandy & Marisa…. Thank you so much for everything! X

I cannot say more than the title, 5 stars is not enough. Our day was beyond perfect, we were married at the Top of the Rock and followed up with pictures at Central Park. We had to postpone 3 times because of Covid, but it was never an issue, the whole process was entirely stressless. Sandy and Marisa took care of every detail, and guided us through everything we had to do leading up to the day as well. We were able to customise the wedding package to exactly what we wanted without any trouble. As for the day itself, perfect isn't a strong enough word! From the hair and makeup in the morning to getting back to the hotel after everything, every single detail was taken care of so it ran smoothly and we were just on cloud 9, gliding through the day. We went with one of the restaurants recommended for our meal after the wedding, (Del Friscos Grille) and that was perfect too. We will never forget our special day, and it is all thanks to Sandy and Marisa - a million thank yous!
