    We held our wedding celebration in the fall earlier this year and it was absolutely perfect. We checked out a few other places in the LIC area but the second we saw stepped into SRS and saw the view, we knew we were set. We are grateful for Una as her knowledge and experience helped us plan the most amazing day. Una and her team's attention to detail, resourcefulness and creative flair were beyond exceptional!

    SRS is everything you see in the photos, and more. The space comes together so beautifully and is so customizable. Una is kind, responsive, and was super helpful with all the little questions that came up along the way. We had our wedding ceremony and reception with 180 guests at SRS in early September and we were so beyond happy with how it all turned out. The lighting and views in the afternoon/sunset are unmatched! Our guests are still texting us about the space and how perfect it was.

    We cannot recommend Una highly enough for anyone seeking a wedding planner who is truly exceptional in every aspect. From the very beginning, Una demonstrated an unparalleled level of communication, always ensuring that every detail was addressed promptly and thoroughly. Her recommendations for vendors and those little touches that made our day unique were spot on and contributed immensely to the seamless flow of our wedding, all while ensuring we stayed within our budget without sacrificing quality or creating unnecessary strains related to planning. Speaking of the day, Sound River Studios was an absolute dream come true. The venue was a magical space, providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The New York skyline was breathtaking and set the most stunning scene for our ceremony, especially on the terrace which was nothing short of spectacular. The entire staff, including the bartenders, Tijana, and Edo, were incredibly helpful and lovely. We were especially touched by Tijana's kindness, who went above and beyond by helping my mother-in-law neatly write her speech on the day of. This kind of support and generosity is truly appreciated. Thanks to Una, the entire process, which can often feel overwhelming, was transformed into a delightful journey. She handled every challenge with grace and efficiency, making us feel supported and confident at every step. The result? An absolutely perfect day that surpassed all our expectations. We’re so grateful for the role Una played in making our wedding dreams come true and look forward to keeping in touch. Thank you, Una, for everything!

    Our wedding at this venue was absolutely perfect! The drop-dead gorgeous NYC skyline view was breathtaking, and the modern space was like an empty canvas, allowing us to decorate it to match our personal aesthetic. Highly recommend!
