Please feel free to e-mail me at erinhowell77@gmail.com with any questions. We used a band at Frankies - Michael Arenella who we loved! But you can have amplified music, just not overly loud. We had our ceremony at the Unitarian church in Brooklyn Heights and rode a school bus to Frankies. We had an amazing afterparty for the real dancing and partying at Sheep Station on 4th Avenue in Park Slope - we partied until 4am. I have more photos so I'd be happy to forward the link. I'm heartened by people thinking we did well since I'm hoping to venture into wedding planning in a few years. I loved it! Wow, I was just reminiscing and didn’t realize people had still replied.

I've been engaged since Feb, but have been with my fiance for almost 6 years, so a long engagement of planning is not for me! I am looking something unique and untraditional for a guest list of 80-85. I currently live in Manhattan - just emailed Frankie's - Erin thanks for these tips because like others have said, it has made me hopeful that i can pull it off! Anyone know further details on Frankie's event space? Anyone have any other similar venue ideas in the ny area? Any info would help!
