Daniel

ldn't think twice about making the same choice if we could have our wedding all over again.

sides falling in love). We knew from the planning with Joan Chaing that they would make the night special for us and our guests, but we never imagined that anything could be so fabulous. We entered the private room before our guests arrived and were greeted by a large professional staff who brought us champagne immediately. Our guests were welcomed into an elegant room with a relaxed atmosphere and delicious hot and cold appetizers circulating. Once we were seated everyone read over menus personalized with our names and wedding date depicting the dining experience they had in front of them. My husband and I chose a fish course and the duo of beef, which was a favorite that night. The meal had the feel of eating at home with your family, but with a first class chef. The waitstaff were magicians. I never noticed them around me, but my wine glass was always full and there was never an empty plate in front of me. It was the perfect evening, but then an unexpected gift arrived. Chef Boulud, himself, came up to greet us with warm congratulations. We love the picture of us in our wedding duds with our favorite chef in front of his beautiful kitchen. The icing on the cake was, literally, the icing on the cake. We sent the pastry chef a picture of a gorgeous cake that we saw in a bakery window in Las Vegas. They made it look exactly like the orchid themed cake we requested. Even a year later when we unfroze the top section it tasted like raspberry, chocolate heaven. If you want to feel like a princess on your wedding day, Daniel is the place to be. It was really fun, relaxed, and not stuffy. I meet with a lot of different upscale restaurants that charged the same as Daniel, but were not of the same callibor. One event planner, at a certain speakeasy, even made me cry. Once we choose Daniel everything became effortless to plan. I give this venue my highest reccomendation.
