Filipino Wedding in New York City

Our latest Asian-inspired Wedding Celebration in New York City!

For a young Filipino couple on a limited budget, we at DBR Events made their fairy-tale wedding dreams come true!   They wanted a glamorous wedding, and they got it complete with: a ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral, an upscale 10-course Chinese Banquet with lobster and peking duck at an elegant hotel in New York City, a traditional Money Dance where the bride and groom were completely covered with bills, prime-location photographs in and around Central Park, and gorgeous flowers courtesy of Golf at Tantawan Bloom.


The Bridal Procession inside the Lady Chapel of St. Patrick's Cathedral:

Music = Emotions


It's all about the music that you provide. Music can create an emotion or a feeling. It can be healing, uplifting, unifying, exciting, and even depressing. The importance of the type of music at an event is monumental. What you hear is really how you feel.




Before booking your next performers, djs, and/or talent, take this into consideration. If you are considering a dj for the reception, what are you looking to create in that space with music?

At DBR Events, we understand the emotion behind the music and the importance of creating the mood at every stage of an event.



You won't need a fire, hot apple cider, or mittens to stay warm this holiday season with one of the hottest djs around.



With A-List clientele such as John Legend, Princess Grace Awards, Bobby Flay, and Tory Burch, just to name a few you are sure to be on your feet dancing to the beat.














For a more relaxed, calm state we look to our live music playing music from The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Green Day, etc.

Won't you please take a seat?




Not all seating is created equal. 
When used correctly, it could easily become your "statement" piece.

How many women wear simple clothing and just one unique piece of jewelry that sends the whole look ablaze! Why not do the same at your next event? The chair that your guests sit on can be as sexy as a stiletto,




as modern as the MOMA, 

                     



or as sleek as a Ferrari.


Don't forget that too much "statement" is just that- too much. At DBR Events, we help you find the perfect balance of sexy, chic, modern or whatever look you want to achieve at your next event.

Planning A Super Teen Party



This is my favorite event to plan.... Whether its a super sweet sixteen a quincetera, or a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, it's always fun to brainstorm with a teen and create a fabulous event.
We love to find a detail that is important to the parents and the teen. We spend hours listening to the guest of honor, we scope out their room, we ask about favorite foods,music, favorite movies,activities and more. We listen even when they don't think that we are. Every teen wants a theme or look for their party and we try to find a thread that will be different and have the guests be blown away. Color always works... choosing colors that pop along with good lighting make the room come alive,generate energy and make the guests want to party.
When I was asked to plan a fabulous Sweet 16,the meeting included the beautiful popular Sweet 16 to be, her mom and her grammy. Everyone came from a different point of view but all wanted something exciting and colorful. We decided on the look- bo-chic meets Morroco meets Bollywood. The favorite colors were hot pink,orange and plum.  To complete the look the guest of honor wore a recreation of a cleopatra dress... she was breathtaking. The cake of harem pillows followed our vision.





The hot pink invitation adorned w an orange crystal set the tone. We found a paisley design that we converted to these colors and laminated the back. The look wascompleted with a paisley stamp. FABULOUS!
The decor was wonderful, but the hilight for this teen was a dj who played her dance music, a break dancer and a famous teen heart throb to take her breath away.

I REMEMBER MAMA

I REMEMBER MAMA...

AS THE JEWISH NEW YEAR APPROACHES, IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD AND THE SMELLS FROM MY MOTHER’S KITCHEN. THAT WONDERFUL FRAGRANCE SIGNALED ROSH HASHANAH TO ME.

MY MOTHER HAD SO MUCH TO DO AND THAT PREPARATION STARTED WEEKS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY. SILVERWARE WAS POLISHED, LINENS PRESSED, FLOORS WASHED AND SHINED AND ORDERS PLACED TO THE FISH MONGER, BUTCHER AND BAKER. ALL OF THESE RITUALS OF GETTING READY BROUGHT ORDER TO OUR HOUSEHOLD AND A SENSE OF SECURITY TO ME.

THE COOKING AND BAKING BEGAN EARLY IN THE WEEK, GEFILTE FISH MADE FROM SCRATCH,CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVERS MADE TASTY WITH FRIED ONIONS, MATZOH BALLS AND MEAT KREPLACH SERVED IN A RICH CHICKEN SOUP THAT WAS OVERFLOWING WITH VEGETABLES AND DILL, BEEF BRISKET LADEN WITH CARROTS AND ROASTED POTATOS, FOLLOWED BY DESSERTS OF SWEETS THAT INCLUDED HONEY CAKE, TEA AND RUGALACH. AS AN ADULT MY PALATE HAS EVOLVED FOR A MUCH FINER CUISINE. BUT REMEMBERING THAT TIME, BRINGS BOTH A TEAR AND A SMILE.

THAT BEAUTIFUL SEASON OF LONG AGO PAINTS A PICTURE AND MEMORIES OF A TABLE SET WITH SILVER CANDLABRA,STARCHED WHITE LINEN, BOWLS OF HONEY AND APPLES AND HOME MADE CHALLAH, A FAMILY TOGETHER WITH LOTS OF FOOD, LOVE AND GOOD WISHES.YES I REMEMBER MAMA AND I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE ONE MORE ROSH HASHANAH WITH HER AGAIN…

Spice Up a Cocktail Party!

When it comes to a cocktail party at DBR events, sometimes how its served matters most! Here is a unique pairing to whet your imagination.



How about a mini 2" steamer with dumplings, 3.5" bamboo tongs serving a refreshing herb grilled shrimp and ice cold sake served in a unique tray.



Complete the atmosphere with hot Brazilian jazz, and voila!
