BLB Events

BLB Events is a New York City wedding planning company founded and run by Brittney Bartling, who has spent more than a decade planning multicultural weddings. The team plans celebrations across the city, the Hudson Valley, Upstate New York and the Hamptons, and takes on weddings in Umbria, Italy.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

BLB Events describes itself as proudly LGBTQ+ friendly, feminist and anti-racist, and its whole approach is built on making no assumptions about what a wedding should look like. The planners work alongside you to blend the traditions you care about, drop the ones you do not and add new ones of your own. Couples say the team actively stood up for their ceremony choices, which is exactly what you want from the people running your day.

What they offer

• Multi-Day Experience planning for weekend and multi-event weddings
• Full Day Experience planning for the wedding day itself
• Consulting and Execution for couples who have done much of the planning
• Ceremony planning that brings together different cultures and traditions

How they work

Planning starts with getting to know you, your families and the traditions you want to include. From there the team builds a modern celebration that reflects you, whether that means combining two heritages, rethinking a ritual or doing something unconventional. On the day, the BLB team manages the timeline and suppliers so you can be present with your guests.

Where they cover

BLB Events is based in New York City and plans weddings across New York City, the Hudson Valley, Upstate New York and the Hamptons. The team also plans destination weddings in Umbria and beyond.
