Do you have any budget/max either total or pp? How many people? Do you want a sit down dinner or a private space?

Check out freeman’s. They do have private dining (I’ve actually attended a winter baby shower there), food is great, the place is super cute and it’s kinda iconic. Had been there for a long time and freeman’s alley has great street art

Love freeman’s idea!

Union square cafe?

40-50 people. Open to whatever format. Private space preferred—but also interested in something unexpected and “iconic New York”.

For example, we’re talking to the Grand Central Oyster Bar and Pete’s Tavern already. That’s the vibe.

PEAK (the view), Tavern on the Green (the setting), Gramercy Tavern (the food). I would also add Minetta Tavern. It has a certain charm to it and food is exquisite. Do not think they have private space, so would likely need to be a buyout.

Deloitte folks - I moved to DT Canada last year due to not getting picked in H1. However US made it clear they will apply again (if and when I ask).

I have a female partner I work with as trial support. She rarely tells me good job and mostly makes one off snarky comments. Today, she emailed me something and told me to do “extra checks” for pincites, grammar, etc. I put all of my documents through grammarly and brief catch on top of an additional edit. I just went back and reviewed the document and I frankly don’t see where she got any of these comments. I missed a single pincite in a string cite. I don’t have this issue with any other (cont

Comment where you are cutting back to save money. Here are ours:
- Not doing a presidential suite, instead we’re getting a normal suite and using a conference room for hair/makeup/meals
- Centerpieces. We are doing a few bigger centerpieces, then small bud vases at the rest of the tables.
- Transportation for guests. Our wedding is in a major city and ubers are easily accessible.
- Flowers. No flowers for men, only the groom is getting a boutonnière. No flowers for parents/grandparents.

My future SIL will be one of my bridesmaids but I do not want to invite her to the bach because I’d much rather just have my friends there and not have to hold back on anything. I do plan on doing a small thing with my sisters (none of them are invited to the bach either and don’t care) and will invite her to that. How do I break this to her? I don’t want her to feel left out but I just rather not mix friends and family in a bach environment.
