Gorgeous, awesome day off, communication prior is difficult

Gorgeous venue, incredible service day off. Only down side was communication throughout the year. Took a long time to hear back and always required multiple follow ups.

Very Classy

Pros: Gorgeous venue, staff was very organized and professional on the day of the event, they do a lot of the organization of how your day will go, which was super helpful. Food was good.

Cons: It was really hard to schedule our food tasting because they had a ton of Jets playoffs events, and they kept bumping us back and not being really helpful about scheduling it. At the end of the night they were supposed to gather up our decor and store it for us, for me to pick up a few days later, and I didn't get all of my stuff back (it wasn't anything valuable, but just a note to make sure they know what all you brought so you can get it back)

We had such an amazing experience working with the people at the Met. They helped us put together the perfect day. They provided the food, venue, music as well as some table decor for the day. They were flexible and able to understand and bring to life everything we wanted for our wedding day. It was so beautiful and everything went off perfectly.
