Who we are
Mission
At Modern Rebel, we firmly believe the wedding planning process should actually be enjoyable, so by the end of it, your relationship is even better off than when you started. Every wedding is unique because no two partnerships are the same. We dig that. Our goal is for our LOVE PARTY planning + design process to create a memorable and fun celebration for everyone we work with, helping them to create a strong foundation for their future together.
We believe in connection and kindness, and we’re committed to creating experiences that reflect these values. Whether you’re looking to bend the rules or break the mold of conventional expectations, or you’re looking to simply plan a beautiful, memorable event that’s true to who you are, we're here to help you every step of the way.
Plus, we donate 5% to local NYC nonprofits through each event so the party keeps going long after the disco ball turns for the last time on the dance floor.
Values
MODERN REBEL IS ROOTED IN OUR CORE VALUES OF:
