Carte Blanche
5th Avenue Weddings transforms your vision into an exquisite, multi-day experience that reflects your story with beauty, intention, and sophistication. More than planners, we are curators of unforgettable celebrations—offering comprehensive services that include travel and guest management, location scouting, design, and full-scale production.
5th Avenue Weddings is a boutique luxury wedding planning firm based in New York City, dedicated to crafting highly personalized, full-service destination weddings with elegance, discretion, and unparalleled attention to detail. Founded by Meena Lee-DePasquale, whose two decades of experience in hospitality, design, and event production include some of the most celebrated events in New York—such as the Interior Design Hall of Fame Awards, America’s Cup NYC, and STK’s milestone celebrations—the company brings a rare level of polish and creative vision to every event it produces.
Specializing in European destinations, particularly Italy, 5th Avenue Weddings curates unforgettable experiences that are as logistically seamless as they are visually breathtaking, while feeling effortless. From managing a trusted network of elite international vendors and styling multi-day celebrations, to overseeing guest hospitality with white-glove precision, every element is handled with care and sophistication. While Europe is our second home, we happily plan destination events across the globe for couples who value artistry, discretion, and a seamless planning journey.
Backed by the production and branding expertise of 5th Avenue Events, the weddings division offers clients not just a beautifully planned event, but a fully immersive, artfully designed experience. Discerning couples trust 5th Avenue Weddings to bring their vision to life with style, taste, and a quiet confidence that comes from years of executing events at the highest level.
