Determining where to have your celebration is probably the most important wedding-related decision you will make—other than choosing your future spouse, of course! So many details can fall into place only after taking that crucial step. But researching venues takes time…whether online, on the phone or on the road. We can help! Let Your Event source and offer venue possibilities based on the criteria most important to you and our intimate knowledge of the region’s premier locations. Then you can spend your valuable time visiting a select list of locations you are far more likely to love!

We are thrilled to see Tanya & Arin in

Westchester Magazine Weddings

"The wedding took place on a picture-perfect, sun-doused fall day as the combined families carried out Armenian traditions against the backdrop of the scenic Hudson Valley. A special moment took place before the ceremony when the time-honored and cherished red-and-green sash ritual was held, as was done in the old country."

We are so proud to see Sarah & Eddie grace the cover of the Fall/Winter 2024 issue!

"After four years of long distance, we found ourselves still very much in love and
excited to finally be together again.
On the 10th anniversary (to the day!) of Eddie asking me to be his girlfriend, he asked me to marry him. It was an easy YES! from me."

Reunions, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, bar and bat mitzvahs,
​vow renewals and beyond — we all agree that making time for family becomes more and more challenging as our lives become busier. If it’s impossible for you to get your mind wrapped around how to find the time to create and celebrate these milestones with those most precious to you, then contact Your Event. We believe each and every gathering can be personalized and elevated to make the host and hostess not only proud, but also relieved that they haven’t missed an opportunity to embrace the moment and make memories. We believe family comes first and we hope you will entertain the thought of using our services to celebrate yours!

This graduation luncheon is all smiles…
