5th Avenue Weddings
5th Avenue Weddings was founded by Meena Lee-DePasquale, who has two decades of experience in hospitality, design and event production. Her work includes the Interior Design Hall of Fame Awards, America's Cup NYC and milestone celebrations for STK. The firm is based in New York City and works as a boutique, so each couple deals with the same small team from first conversation to the last dance.
The firm specialises in European destinations, particularly Italy, and describes Europe as its second home. Its portfolio includes weddings in Tuscany and Florence, Lake Annecy in the French Alps, a castle in Germany, Cartagena in Colombia and Boston, alongside New York venues such as Gustavino's, Pier Sixty, the Central Park Boathouse, the High Line Hotel and 620 Loft and Garden.
Services cover travel and guest management, location scouting, design and full-scale production, often across several days. The firm manages a network of international vendors and looks after guest hospitality, so couples marrying abroad have one point of contact at home.
Behind the weddings division is the production and branding experience of 5th Avenue Events. The portfolio shows a wide range of styles and traditions, from all-white floral arches and candlelit tables to Punjabi, Chinese banquet and Indian weddings, and relaxed waterside and country celebrations in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
