I am the mother of the bride. When my daughter came to me and saidthat she is using an event planner, I asked her why, we can do this. (comingfrom the old school) Well, I will confess no way could we have evencome close to what KasalNY did for my daughters special day. (and did theymake it special) While we were taking pictures outside Lyna and her staffwere inside scurring as if they were the little mice in Cinderella making herdress for the ball. I happened to pass the room of were my daughter washaving her wedding and stood in the doorway in awe. From the the doorwayto the table where my daughter and son-inlaw would be sitting was absolutelybreathtaking. 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 shehas 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 stopsto incorporate those colors throughout the room, it was absolutely amazing. My thanks also goes to Lyna's husband Kirby who is the photographer for KasalNYfor 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!!!

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 veryoverwhelming 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 wouldactually 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.

KasalNY.com has been the event authority for all of our special occasions. Time and time again, Lyna has proven her talent and creativity in every party that she makes. The Parisian Dessert Bar was such a hit-our guests absolutely loved it!The centerpieces, the d�cor, the table numbers and even the napkin placement we�re on point with the French Modern theme. We have seen a few pictures and we can�t wait to see the rest. Thank you so much Lyna and Kirby for making our event one of a kind, organized and truly special! -Sam & Thomas-

Kasal Ny is an amazing wedding planning service. Lyna and Kirby are a great couple that exude responsibility, creativity and passion for their work. Lyna was very organized, from her timelines to her excel worksheets. It made me feel that everything was under control. I have a very busy work schedule, so I knew i could leave things for her to do with full confidence. On the day of my wedding, I was so pleasantly surprised at how everything was beyond my expectations. I know the big reason for that was having Kasal NY by my side at all times. I loved how Lyna was able to incorporate the Indian (me) and Irish (my husband) cultures!!!! Kirby is a very talented photographer. My husband and I really enjoyed our engagement photoshoot in Central Park and loved that he was there on the Wedding Day too! Lyna and Kirby make you feel comfortable, as if they are your own close friends. I believe that is important. I fully recommend them to other brides!!

Kasalny.com ( Mrs. Lyna Calvario) did an exceptional job. She treated this wedding as if it were her own. She is a consummate professional. She was very accessible and always had a plethora of ideas. She was always on top of things and we never had to worry about anything. When she made suggestions and we declined because of price, she took her own money refusing to tell us how much it cost. Without Mrs Calvario, my wife and I would not have a wedding. My wife and I were able to enjoy our wedding at a price much lower than we expected to spend. I would highly recommend the Kasalny.com team to anyone. It was truly an honor to work with them

Wedding: 8/1/09
I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Lyna and her husband Kirby during my wedding planning!!! Lyna was my "day of coordinator" but she was much more then that! Lyna had great ideas and was always willing to go out of her way for me! I'm a teacher and very detailed oriented and Lyna respected that and always gave me detail ideas! She was very organized and very pleasant to work with! She created a spreadsheet guest list and organized it for me and sat down with me several times before the wedding to go over the time line for the big day! When it came for the day of the wedding...I was completely RELAXED!!!! Lyna was there to be "another Lindsay" and made sure al my visions were what I wanted and made sure they all came true! Everything ran smoothly! Lyna and her team were so pleasant even the Ma�tre Dee said she was such a nice and lovely wedding planner to work with and that she is welcomed back anytime!!! :) I was lucky to have Kirby take wonderful and beautiful pictures as well!! HE was great everyone wanted to know who took them!!! What an outstanding job! As you can see, I was truly amazed by what a beautiful wedding I had! All my dreams came true on my special day and I KNOW I COULDN'T have done it without her! The only bad part I have to say......is that its OVER!!! :( I will, with out a doubt....miss her!!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to be somewhat "sane" during the stressful time of planning a wedding! :) Good luck to all you future brides!<3 Lindsay Queens, NYPlease feel free to send me an email with any questions you may have!Lindsaycurr@gmail.com

Lyna Cavalario is not only the greatest wedding planner but also the greatest 16 planner. She is always available and always has time for her client. She has an eye for beautiful designs and ideas. She is very good in details. Everything came out perfect. She always knows what's hot for the season. When you have an idea, she'll take your idea and make it 100 times better. Thank you for everything you've done. You made my party 100 times better than i thought it would come out. My friends had a great time and thought all of the decorations were gorgeous. I would highly recommend KASALNY.

Hiring KasalNY for wedding planning services is probably one of the best decisions we made during the entire preparation process. Lyna is unbelievably talented and is excellent at what she does. We had minimal stress during the year-long preparation stage, and we had no stress whatsoever during our wedding day. We were free to enjoy ourselves while Lyna took care of seeing to all the details. We highly recommend her services.
