Kasal NY Weddings & Events

Lyna Calvario knows how to plan a wedding and plan it well. We hired a wedding planner so that our families (both from out of town) would not have any responsibilities on the day of the wedding. We wanted everyone to enjoy themselves and not worry about making sure the room was perfect or things were running on schedule. The day went so smoothly thanks to Lyna and her team. Both our parents were so thankful for the Kasal team, as anything they needed was found or purchased in a matter of moments. I can't imagine going through that whole process without Lyna and her team. Everything was taken care of and the whole day was PERFECT.

What can I say about Lyna (including her team). My wife and I did not want a long engagement and we both knew we would need help with planning our wedding. And help we sure ended up getting. We could not have done it without Lyna. She is absolutely amazing. Our wedding was everything my wife envisioned and then some. The details and the ideas that Lyna came up with were amazing. She always seemed to put ideas out there that we were thinking about but couldn't quite put together as well as make our ideas/visions a reality. There are always hiccups along the way and it was great to have Lyna there to help ease my concerns and make all those things right. I can not stress enough how much we owe her for making our wedding day special, memorable, and just outright gorgeous. I could write for hours all the things that she has done, from saving us tons of money to just her reach of vendors. But the bottom line is this, if you want an amazing wedding, the one you girls envisioned growing up, Lyna and her team will put it together. KasalNY, we love you. Lyna, we LOVE you!!! Love Pete and Hazel!!!

Words can not express how thankful I am to have Lyna and her wonderful team help us in planning our dream wedding. Throughout the process Lyna always asked how we wanted our wedding to be, recommended great vendors, always had cost savings on her mind and also gave us unique ideas to incorporate into the reception to give more of a "WOW" factor. Lyna's creative vision is top notch! Even though there was a hiccup in the process Lyna found a quick solution and was able not to stress out about it. In the end our wedding exceeded my expectations, the way they transformed our whole reception into my purple butterfly wonderland hehe. The day went by so fast, but I felt relaxed and stressed free the whole day. All my guests were raving about how beautiful everything was and that would have not been possible without the beautiful KasalNY ladies :) Thank You for everything!!! ~ Sharon and Paul

Lyna and her team did an amazing job pulling everything together. We had a same-sex wedding, so two brides meant double the usual bridal concerns. Lyna came through from beginning to end with her creative ideas and vendor recommendations. We really didn't have many ideas about how we wanted our wedding to look, or what we really wanted. All we did know is that we didn't want a cookie cutter experience. She was patient with our indecisiveness and assured us that all would be well. She really nailed the simple but chic and unique feel we came to love. Our wedding day went so smoothly and was more perfect than we ever expected. Her team even managed to get Buddy the Cake Boss to make an appearance during the evening. All of our guests have raved that ours was the best wedding they've ever been to, and we have KasalNY to thank!

When Lyna told me "not to worry about anything, just enjoy your daughter's wedding" - she really meant it and most of all, I really enjoyed it - I felt I was one of the guests (not the host)... KASALNY and Team, lead by owner, Lyna-Larcia Calvario, you are a blessing!!! As the mother of the bride, and listening to the rave reviews of the whole event on 09.10.11, I keep telling them THANKS TO KASALNY!!!!

I initially thought I would not need a wedding planner - and that I would be able to handle the entire planning process on my own. When I realized this wasn't the case, I started shopping around for the perfect planner. Stumbling upon the work of Lyna, from Kasal NY, I knew instantly I wanted her to help plan my wedding. Lyna is a never-ending burst of energy, whose creativity never stops flowing. She has such a passion for what she does, and it shows in all of her ideas and end results. She has the capability of having an amazing vision, and going above and beyond to have it come to life. No matter where she is in the world or what is going on around her, she makes time to answer every email, at any hour of the day. And just when you think she's too busy to handle something at the moment, she emails you with any new ideas that have popped into her head to make your wedding even more beautiful. She always had my best interest in saving me time or money, and was never pushy about any of her opinions. I have to say, the last 2 weeks before my wedding, Lyna was my lifesaver. Any issue that came up, she was there to immediately handle it and ease any worries that I had. The night of the wedding, when I saw everything laid out in front of me that took about a year of planning with her, tears were streaming down my face at how beautiful everything looked. Every email, every freak out, every minute planning was well-worth it. And at the end of the entire wedding planning process, I not only found a great planner, but a wonderful friend who is always welcome in my home.

Kirby of KasalNY was the photographer for our wedding. He blew us away first when he took our engagement pictures. He and his team were so dedicated! We thought he would just spend an hour or two taking a few photos. But he spent 8 hours with us because he was on such a roll- he has such an artistic vision! The photos look AMAZING! I never knew we could look so good! When friends saw our photos they begged to know who did them! When the time came for our wedding photos, he really outdid himself! He must have taken thousands of photos between himself and his team. The photos are more beautiful than we could have imagined. Kirby was so sweet that we would have invited him to our wedding to party if he wasn't already taking our photos!

Lyna and her team has truly become a part of our family. This amazing wedding would have never came to be if it not been for her passion and desire for excellence. Her ideas and vision are perfection. She created our theme to help us tell the story of our college love story to all our family and friends. She was there for us every step of the way granting all our requests and making all our ideas into reality. Lyna was always professional, caring, just made us so excited for our special day. It was all I could have ever hoped for and more. I wish I could relive that day over and over. She would always touch base with us leading up to the wedding. During our wedding weekend, she and her entire team waited on us hand and foot and stayed the whole weekend with us. After all the hard word, they even partied with us at the after party. Judy and Jacqui were amazing and totally put me at ease. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I was able to enjoy the day and take everything in. I could not have been more pleased with their work. I hope to work with them in the future. Lyna deserves all the the success and happiness in the world for all the joy she has give to us. Love, Lei & Randy

I met Lyna three years ago when she planned my sister's wedding. It was absolutely perfect, beautiful, and unique. I knew, then, that when it was my turn to get married, I would definitely use Lyna as my wedding planner as well. There is too much to say about how amazing Lyna and her team is, so I won't get into every detail, but the bottom line is that she and her team are truly talented, passionate, and dedicated to what they do. My wedding was a little over 2 months ago, and I still have relatives calling to tell me how beautiful everything was and how it was the best wedding that they had ever attended!!! Thank you Lyna and Kasal for truly creating the best and most memorable day of my life! My husband and I jokingly say everyday how we can't wait to renew our vows so we can have Kasal plan another event! LOL :)

They brought my visions of my dream wedding to life. Were always there for me during my panic moments. My wedding day was stress free and I couldn't have done it without them.

I don't even know where to start for this review. Words can't express how grateful I am for having Lyna as my wedding planner. She is absolutely talented and has such a creative mind. Her eye for detail is exquisite, which none can beat. She offered so many different suggestions and really tailored our wedding to fit our personalities and our budget. She really listened to what was important to us and incorporated it into our reception. Not only that, she helped us get connected to some of the best vendors (Key Music Group, MPW, Pan de Sal, Engaging Floral Designs) we have ever worked with and it really made our wedding unforgettable. Everyone at KasalNY was so organized and helpful on the day of the wedding and it helped to make it such a successful event. Thank you Lyna and your entire team at KasalNY for making our dreams come true!

Lyna s truly a blessing, a talented wedding professional with a genuine passion for the industry. Her talent, creativity and ability to think outside the box (instantly) is awe-inspiring! Our Fall wedding went on without a hitch, thanks to her and her amazing team. They took care of all the little details and delivered a very well organized event. Compliments were nonstop on how beautiful and fabulous our 'signature' wedding was. All throughout planning, she listened to what was important to us, and that meant a lot-thanks again KasalNY!

What else can we say about Lyna, Kirby, and KasalNY all together that has not already been stated in these reviews? They truly are great to work with. I am not on the creative end, but we also wanted something different for the wedding. I just didn't really know how to do it, didn't know where to start, etc. That's where Lyna becomes your muse, she has an eye for things and she works with your personality. One of our goals was to make sure that all the guests had fun... and they surely did. They noticed the small creative things that Lyna incorporated in the wedding - lollipops for kids, a "pimp my wedding pumpkin" set up for kids, sunglasses for the bridal party for the photo ops, etc. I also get very anal with things and always want to make sure everything goes well, but at the same time I also promised myself to enjoy my day. Well, thats where Lyna and her team came into play and made my promise to myself come true. I must truly say that I did not have to worry about anything. My husband and I literally just "stayed back" and she made sure everthing was taken care of; from calling the limos, florists, setting up the venue, etc. Oh and about the florist, talk about hook up!!! We worked with Lyna and Rob from Pedestals and what can we say... except WOW!! What we ended up with compared to what was initially discussed 8 months prior to the wedding was totally off the wall, more than what we would ever expect. And I must say this was all due to Lyna - her ideas, connections, and just her goal of making the wedding a memorable one not only for our guests, but for me and my husband as well. We also had Kirby, her husband, as our photographer. This was another great idea of hers. She mentioned that we meet her husband that was also a photographer and see his work. Kirby is another one with an "eye"... its like they are the perfect match! He captured moments of us that we don't even recall. If anyone out there is looking for a planner, a photographer, a creative eye, a wedding to remember, and best of all great friends that you just get along with just simply a few minutes of meeting each other... Lyna and Kirby of KasalNY is the way to go!!

This review is long overdue. Admittedly, I don’t think that I wanted to close the book to my wedding, but it is certainly time to let everyone know how absolutely amazing Lyna Calvario at KasalNY is and how she made our wedding a celebration that is only surpassed by the compassion in which she created it. After reading all of the wonderful reviews, I knew it was time for me to meet Lyna. The second we met her, I knew her energy and spirit was unique and genuine; you could see her passion for the work and desire to make sure our wedding was all we could dream in her eyes. We presented her with a challenge right from the beginning; we knew we wanted a destination wedding, anywhere with direct flights to/from NY and NJ areas. We didn’t know how many people, the budget we were working with or quite honestly, anything else about planning a wedding – and a destination wedding at that. What we did know, is that we wanted to create an intimate “beach chic” setting for our friends and family where we could kick back, celebrate enjoy our time with the people who are most important to us. Fast forward 10 months later…Aruba, Bucuti Beach Resort on one of the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, sunset, violin, arch with hurricane candles and sheer white organza drapes, with 75 of our closest friends and family. Together with the fantastic wedding planner at the resort Nashette Wouters, and her unbelievable, dedicated staff, Lyna orchestrated a 4-event wedding weekend for us. From a welcome cocktail reception on the beach with a steel drum player, to a ride to and from beach bbq fiesta on party buses, to our gorgeous beachfront wedding and reception, to the farewell brunch, there was not a detail left unfinished. As you can imagine, the planning, logistics and coordination were extremely challenging (my husband and had never been to Aruba :/ ) and required the true professionalism that in my opinion, only Lyna could provide. In fact, Lyna even flew down to Bucuti to pick out our venues and ensure that they were appropriate for the vision we had for our wedding. – we trusted her 100% and she nailed it! Because of all her successes and relationships in the industry, she provided us with access to the most outstanding florist, Robert Herzog and stationary designer Jo Asuncion, and of course her talented husband/photographer Kirby Calvario. Lyna, Robert, Kirby, and Lyna’s staff were by our side the whole time. For us, they became our sanity, our support and our true friends. All of the events turned out flawless; but what was more, were all of the personal touches they added and surprised us with that were BEYOND our wildest dreams. From hand crafting signs, to adding décor I that thought I could only dream of, to creating our own special table at the reception, and asking the guests to write us personal note cards, to re-envisioning event spaces and turning them into something that I thought only thought existed in magazines, they made us feel like the only people in the world on our special day – and it all came from their hearts, passion for their crafts, and desire to make dreams come true. I could honestly go on forever, but quite simply, we feel extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to not only work with Lyna, but to get to know her. If you are looking for someone who: is dedicated to making your dream a reality, thinks outside of the box, compassionate, is a true visionary, there is not other person in the work other than Lyna. We love you! Nicole + Sandro Santos, Aruba 8/28/10

Greetings all this is Grace, one of Lyna's most recent brides! I just tied the knot 2 weeks ago in NYC and it was a fairytale come true with a happily ever after. Till this day our guests are STILL raving about how our wedding was one of the best, most unique and unforgettable they have ever been to, and of course as a bride this is music to your ears - when your big day is still the talk of the town. I'd like to backtrack to our engagement back in Sep '09. Our initial desire was just to elope on a beach in Costa Rica, but I already knew my family wouldn't have it. For one thing, I am the youngest and only daughter (I have 2 older brothers) so having a big wedding with all our friends and family is a huge deal for my parents. So the idea of eloping went out the window LOL! I said to myself, if I were to have a wedding, I gotta do it my way. I already knew off the bat I didn't want to have a traditional, formal, cookie cutter wedding...that I had to do something completely unique, quirky, inventive, and unusual - because that's just my style and Rob's too. With that said, we began the wedding planning. So first thing's first, what venue did we wanna have? As most brides should know, the sky's the limit when looking for venue options. But we did know this - we both knew it'd be pretty cool to have a venue with a lounge-y feel with a rooftop. Why? Because we met at a rooftop bar where I used to bartend. Rob came by one night for a friend's bday and I just happened to be working that night. Almost immediately he became my "regular" on Thursday nights and the rest was history....3 years later we got engaged! Which is why we knew we wanted to get married in a similar setting. I did my research, looking for venue after venue and I found Studio 450. Immediately I knew this was the place - with 360˚views of NYC and NJ, the Empire State building and the infamous NEW YORKER sign as the backdrops, a sunset ceremony would be perfect here – I had to have it! However for those who have heard about this venue know that it is a loft with rooftop and a completely BLANK white space - which is both amazing but challenging at the same time. I knew it would be a feat in itself to completely furnish and customize a venue like this...but my heart was set on this place and I couldn’t give it up. Where does a bride even begin to start building a wedding from scratch with this oh so perfect blank canvas?! So I was in limbo for awhile. How would I pull this off? I needed tons of outside vendors stat. Should I take on this challenge or just look for another venue that was already furnished and had all the trimmings already like in-house catering, tables, decor, etc. which meant opting for a banquet hall. Not that I have anything against banquet halls, they just weren't my style and you should always go with your initial instinct. Every bride should have the wedding they dream of, even if they don't want to admit it. Trust, I was one of those women who didn't want to admit that a dream wedding was a big deal, until of course I became a bride myself, then everything mattered. Which meant just going through with it, because everything will always come together if you're passionate enough to make it happen. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but then came a blessing from the wedding gods! Our good friend Carissa V. had heard about our engagement and referred Lyna to us (thanks Carissa!). So we checked out KasalNY's website and we were both immediately impressed....we looked even further and read all the superb reviews posted by previous clients of hers. Even better, her husband Kirby does their photography and we dug his style. And for Rob, who is also a photographer and to appreciate another photographer's style, was a big deal. So yay why not kill 2 birds with one stone? A wedding planner and a photographer! Immediately I was interested, how awesome would it be to have a right hand woman/wing woman who was a professional help us plan our big day. Before we knew it, Carissa reached out to Lyna and almost immediately Lyna was on board! Our very first meeting was of course at Studio 450 when we scouted for venues and we clicked right from the start! She booked it for us and even managed to get us a very good rate from the manager woohoo! Step one was done. Lyna then interviewed both of us to get a sense and feel of what our personalities were like, what style we were looking to portray and mostly what elements in a wedding were most important to us (i.e. the entertainment aspect, the food, the ambiance, etc). Lyna had a great sense of judging our personalities and knew we were looking for a unique, quirky wedding that had an urban chic appeal with Filipino flair (we are both Filipino) and also one that dared to have a sense of humor. Don't you just LOVE it when you’re on the same page with someone who get's your style! I knew from that moment on she was going to make this a wonderful and fun planning experience. Yes wedding planning can be fun too haha! Everything after that just came together naturally. From picking out "the dress" which she even comes with you!...the caterers, we went with In Thyme where Lyna and Kirby did a tasting with us - fun! Amy was excellent (hi Amy!)...the flowers/decor from Pedestals - Robert is the best (hi Robert!) he knew we had to add Filipino elements to the wedding, so we added banana leaves, bamboo sticks and birds of paradise flowers to the décor and to the bridesmaids bouquets - awesomeness!...the invitations, which need a separate blog in itself because they were such a HUGE hit and were even featured on The Knot blog (hi Ted and Jo!) ---> I chose a Metrocard template and came up with G + R subway line circles and even a subway map card for directions to go with our whole NYC theme...the wedding cake by Everything Cupcakes (hi Audrey!)...our DJ/MC was none other than internationally renowned dj, DJ Neil Armstrong and partner in crime DJ Carlo Demetriou, who I can't thank enough for offering to dj, host and rock our party (hi neil and carlo!) I can go on and on about our fun vendor meetings because not only were we conducting business with them but we became good friends with each of them too! Now with a hectic and busy work schedule where I sometimes have to work ungodly hours of the evening for projects and simultaneously plan a wedding on the side, it can get extremely overwhelming... but with Lyna by my side, I never felt alone. She knew how my work schedule was and worked around it. She was there to calm me down during stressful work weeks where I didn't even have time for planning and rest assured me that she would be like my Grace #2 for those times when I was unavailable. A definite life saver! Kirby did our engagement shoot at the Meatpacking District (awesome choice) to keep up with and compliment our urban theme - so much fun and the photos came out fierce. He really captured our personalities and style and made them look oh-so artsy which we love! After a total of 9 months of planning came the big day and wow was it more than I imagined it to be. My bridesmaids and I got ready at the venue so I had warned them that upon entering the loft that it would be a completely blank space with not even a single table or chair to see. And I said to them, wait and see how this place will transform in a matter of hours while we get our makeup and hair done. While we were in the bridal suite getting dolled up, I remembered getting goose bumps from hearing the loud ruckus in the background because I knew this was it, the crew was setting up and I left it to Lyna and team to make the magic happen. I already knew it was going to shape up fabulously but Lyna took it a step further and made it so much more - I peeked out from the dressing room to check out the scenario. Lyna surprised me by adding little touches and details to our already amazing decor, not because I asked her to but because she really cares and puts her heart in every single little detail, and you know it's those little tiny details that matter and make any event pop. So there I was standing by the doorway watching the genius in her unfold. My heart skipped a beat and all I could do was smile. Our sunset rooftop ceremony was gorgeous, the NY/NJ views breathtaking, the ambiance, theme and décor was so “Knot-worthy”, they had to blog about it, the reception was mucho fun and hilarious, guests couldn’t stop drinking and dancing, the fun booth was a hit, the halo-halo station was a nice surprise for the guests, and the sparkler send off on the roof was a wonderful touch. I can keep rambling incoherently about what an amazing, professional event planner and now close friend Lyna is, but I'll leave it at this...there is a method to her madness - her accolades, awards, raves and reviews all live up to the hype. She is as phenomenal as they say she is and remains down to earth considering her success. I am only bittersweet that our affair has ended. It is an experience I will never forget and will always talk about many moons from now. Thank you Lyna, Kirby, and the entire KasalNY team for making "GROB Day" not just a wedding but a dream. I want to get married again! haha With love, Grace aka now Mrs. Rob Delacruz

I am the mother of the bride. When my daughter came to me and said that she is using an event planner, I asked her why, we can do this. (coming from the old school) Well, I will confess no way could we have even come close to what KasalNY did for my daughters special day. (and did they make it special) While we were taking pictures outside Lyna and her staff were inside scurring as if they were the little mice in Cinderella making her dress for the ball. I happened to pass the room of were my daughter was having her wedding and stood in the doorway in awe. From the the doorway to the table where my daughter and son-inlaw would be sitting was absolutely breathtaking. From the floral designs by Pedistal Florist to the frames on the table that showed the table numbers. Lyna's creativity has no bounds to what she has in mind for that day. My daughter chose Gerber Daisies for her floral theme, if you don't know they are very colorful. Lyna and her staff pulled out all stops to incorporate those colors throughout the room, it was absolutely amazing. My thanks also goes to Lyna's husband Kirby who is the photographer for KasalNY for capturing the natural instead of the standard the pictures are outstanding. Any bride reading this, would not be dissapointed in hiring Lyna Calvario of KasalNY for their event.

Lyna Larcia Calvario is THE BEST wedding planner ever. Her eye for elegance is stamped in everything she does. Her creativity has no bounds--she always has a plethora of ideas up her sleeve. She is indeed a professional who makes every client feel like their event is the only one she's managing (even though she's actually juggling several at a time) with her commitment, her attention to detail, and her efficiency. When she's near, I know my wedding is in good hands and I could RELAX. For example, when something doesn't work out for whatever reason, she whips out an alternative-that more often than not-proves to be the better option. She is not only the best at what she does, she actually enjoys the entire process and it shows in her output. She puts as much care to it as if she were planning her own wedding. She is very professional yet at the same time, she makes you feel like you're planning your wedding with your best friend--if you're best friend happens to be a great organizer and has impeccable taste. For the most part, you'll feel like you're always on the same wavelength. At times when you feel like saying "no", she wouldn't force an idea on you if you're not 100% all for it. And when things started to get really stressful for me, talking to her was like therapy. She heard out whatever qualm I had, and helped me solve it! What I love the most about our wedding was the fact that everything about it showed our personality. Everything in our wedding showed the bride and groom's character--from the invitations to the photobooth. It had about the perfect balance between traditional and modern--it followed some convention, yet it introduced new concepts to our guests--and as a result, everyone present in our wedding could attest to how unique and fun our wedding was. It is exactly how we wanted it to be. It also helped a lot that her and her team was so on top of things that there never was a dull moment. We still get compliments weeks after our wedding, with guests claiming that it was the BEST wedding they have EVER attended. Well, I expected nothing less from the BEST. Her husband, Kirby Calvario, (who is the "photography" part of KasalNY) is an extremely talented photographer who did our prenuptial photos. We missed him a lot during our big day (we got married in the Philippines) because he comes up with phenomenal pictures of me and my husband. We always felt natural with him and most like ourselves. It never felt pose-y or inorganic with him. He always seem to snap the best moments and the results are fantastic! We were at least able to showcase his awesome pictures in our tables, our cake, and our audio visual presentation (AVP) . I highly recommend KASALNY Weddings and Photography if you want a wedding that'll forever be remembered because of it's awesome-ness! 5 stars all around!!!

KasalNY.com had given us the "wedding" we could ever dreamed of ( and afford.) Lyna Calvario went above and beyond our expectaions. I've met Lyna a year before our wedding day and we adore her right from the start. I'm a very busy person and Lyna mostly handled everything for us....All we do is "pay".

You will be as relaxed as I am on your wedding day!!!!!yeyy!!!!

My husband and I hired KasalNY in the middle of our 7-month wedding planning. Like a number of brides out there, I wanted to plan the biggest event in my life the way I've envisioned it to be since I was a young girl. But planning a once- in -a- lifetime event can be very overwhelming especially if you are a busy person( who is not nowadays?) and despite a very supportive fiance .The idea of hiring a wedding planner then came in mind.Very timely enough , a co-worker recommended KasalNY, feeling nitpicky I checked their website before calling their no, and my husband & I both felt that they are exactly what we were looking for , their portfolio was very impressive -very classy and elegant.But websites can be deluding, so we were hoping and praying that we wouldn't take a leap of faith for something you'll pay for much more for someone who'll plan your wedding.After speaking to Lyna , owner of KasalNY over the phone, I had this reassuring calmness that we are about to hire a "pro" ,au fait wedding planner. It was such a delight that we will be dealing with no less than Lyna herself who is truly a very good listener with a very vibrant personality and with a very down-to earth charisma, you'll actually feel like your bestfriend or sister is helping you plan your dream wedding! What an answered prayer!Throughout the planning process, I can attest to her passion and dedication to her work, tho we lived in NJ, she would actually travel out of state for the scheduled meetings and would even go the extra mile just to help out her wedding couple. Came the big event, and there was nothing but smiles and praises from our families and guests and modesty aside , from me and my husband for our beautiful , memorable dream wedding but this wouldn't be a reality without the great "Lyna Calvario " and her awesome team. Straightaway,without a blink of an eye, I highly recommend KasalNy to all brides out there! KasalNy is definitely a trademark of Style, Elegance and Success! God bless you KasalNy for the work you do, keep up the excellent work ,thank you so much for your sincere concern and selfless service.We love you and praying for your continued success and recognition you so well deserve!

Hiring Lyna of KasalNY was probably the best decision we made. She helped us make our wedding dreams come true. She has a keen eye for beauty and elegance. She pays great attention to detail. She works well under pressure and performs well beyond expectations. She is truly passionate with her work and you can really feel that she genuinely and sincerely wants the best for you. She will introduce you to the best vendors in the area and will accommodate all your requests. Despite receiving all the well-deserved awards and recognition, she remains down-to-earth and approachable. She is very popular (so book early!) but she always makes you feel that you’re the most important bride. Lyna was very sympathetic and very helpful during my own little Bridezilla moments. She was extremely patient, considerate and understanding with me. Weddings can be very stressful, and anxiety-provoking, not to mention, expensive. She will guide you to make the right decisions. Lyna wasn’t just our wedding planner, she became a friend/confidant/advocate too. Lyna spent several days helping me find my wedding dresses (probably not in her job description) yet she did not complain even once. My only regret is that we didn’t hire her equally talented and gifted husband (Kirby) as our photographer. Lyna and Kirby make an awesome artistic duo. It was quite a pleasure working with them. The best compliment we received about our wedding was that it was flawless and that it felt like a fairy tale. We are eternally grateful to Lyna, Kirby and the KasalNY team for all their hardwork and dedication in making our special day truly unforgettable.
