Ukrainian wedding planner in New York
New York weddings that carry Ukrainian heritage with elegance and warmth.
A wedding that honours Ukrainian heritage asks for a planner who understands both the traditions your families hold dear and the refined, collected aesthetic that frames them, so the celebration feels rooted in culture and still unmistakably modern and New York.
Margaret Zinchenko brings exactly that: New York refinement with a touch of Ukrainian heritage, weddings that feel collected rather than decorated. Tell us about your celebration and the traditions that matter to you, and we'll introduce you, and you meet before anything is signed.
Many Ukrainian celebrations carry customs worth building the day around — the korovai, the blessing with bread and salt, the rushnyk at the ceremony, and the toasts and dancing that follow. Margaret weaves in the ones that matter to your families and leaves out the rest, so the wedding feels personal rather than staged, and legible to guests from every background in the room.
Practically, that means a planner used to coordinating the vendors a cultural celebration needs — from the baker for the korovai to musicians for the traditional dances — and to guiding two families through blending heritage with a contemporary New York wedding, whether the day is wholly traditional or a quiet nod to where you come from.

Questions about Ukrainian weddings
Can you plan a Ukrainian wedding in New York?
Yes. Margaret plans New York weddings that weave in the Ukrainian traditions that matter to your families while keeping the overall celebration elegant and contemporary. Tell us which customs you'd like to include when you inquire.
Which Ukrainian traditions can you include?
As many or as few as you'd like — the korovai, the bread-and-salt blessing, the rushnyk, traditional toasts and dances among them. Margaret helps you choose the customs that feel meaningful and shape the timeline and vendors around them.
Can you work with both families to blend traditions?
Yes. Many of these weddings bring two backgrounds together. Margaret is used to guiding families through what to keep, what to adapt and how to make every guest feel part of the day, without losing the heritage at its centre.
Do we meet the planner before committing?
Always. Wedded introduces you to Margaret, you meet, and only then do you decide whether to work together. Nothing is signed before that first conversation.
