Rooftop Sophistication

We at Pink Monkey Events always say that the couple makes the wedding! Emily and Dave were one of our favorite couples of all time. We admired both their grace and love for one another. We made sure to have their elegance reflected into all aspects of their wedding. This gorgeous event took place at the Tribecca Rooftop, one of our favorite venues. This Manhattan location showcases the amazing NYC skyline that makes for a truly breathtaking backdrop. The cocktail hour took place on the amazing rooftop and the reception followed in the spacious, loft-like space inside. Every detail from the bride’s fabulous purple shoes to the lush flower arrangements reflected the couple’s style. The floral arrangements were in decadent purple in shades of lavender and eggplant added to the overall theme. No matter how amazing the décor, food and venue their family and friends made this party. Both sides of the family were so sincere and gracious that it was our pleasure to create this special event for this couple!

A Pink Monkey Super Sweet 16

At Pink Monkey Events we are all about making our clients happy! Our goal is to make your event all about you and what you like. When we had our very first client meeting with Adriana, our very own sweet 16 superstar, she expressed her love for purple and hot pink. At Pink Monkey Events your wish is our command! We created this event with tons of purple and hot pink along with masks and other décor to make for a fun carnival theme. For this 4th of July Sweet 16 we got lucky enough to be located close enough to the East River to get to enjoy the free fireworks. This was a special treat because for those of you that don’t know, the average firework show costs $1000 per minute!  The fireworks fit perfectly with this party because with all the glitz and glam that was the only thing this event was missing! This vibrant and over the top event was our very own version of a Pink Monkey Events Super Sweet 16 and it was truly spectacular.

From Trash to Treasure



Don’t throw away your old wine bottle corks! You never know what you could do with what may seem like trash. We at Pink Monkey Events can find a use for anything! Corks can be used as stands to hold up table numbers or for escort cards. As seen in the photos you can use them stacked together or individually. Corks give a homemade touch to any event. This detail is perfect for cocktail parties and since wine is connected with celebrating, old corks can add to any celebratory event!

Summertime in Manhattan

For this event we were given the task to create a summer garden in Manhattan. Pink Monkey Events was up for the challenge! NYC is an amazing city but lacks the nature that is so important in the summer season. We knew flowers and nature were important to this bride so we made sure to bring summertime to Manhattan.  Pink Monkey Events used faux tree trunks (that were made of cork) as the base of the flower arrangements and filled them with as many bright and colorful flowers as possible for a garden like feel. With flowers in pinks, purples, peaches and  yellows we incorporated green to create contrast. We framed the table numbers in green moss to include more outdoor elements. Since this wedding was in hot hot summer, they gave out vintage looking hand painted fans that added a fun detail and also helped to keep guests cool. They kept the theme consistent in having flowers painted on the fans as well. No matter where your event we love to make your dream come true! Who knew a summer garden in Manhattan was possible? Pink Monkey loves to make your vision reality!

Personalize Your Parasols


As with our June wedding we used parasols but with a unique detail. Parasols are often used in weddings for either blocking the sun or simply for the look. These additions can make for great photo ops as well as keep you cool during a summer wedding. To make your special day even more special be sure to include personal touches. We hand painted these parasols with coral flowers from the inspiration  of the invites that were sent to all guests. 

The vibrant colors painted on to the crisp white parasols fit perfectly for a summer wedding. This detail took these parasols from simple to absolutely beautiful. Individual elements such as this are usually what make your day truly memorable for you and your guests so don’t be afraid to let your personality show!
