At Da Mikelle Palazzo, I’ve seen firsthand how a well-planned post-wedding brunch can turn into a charming, relaxed way to continue sharing memories with friends and family.

Let me walk you through everything you need to know about post-wedding brunches here in Queens.
What Is a Post-Wedding Brunch and Why Should You Have One?
A post-wedding brunch is a casual, often intimate gathering that happens the day after the wedding. It’s the perfect chance to unwind, chat with loved ones, and savor some good food without the rush and formality of the big day.

How to Plan a Post-Wedding Brunch in Queens NY
Planning a post-wedding brunch doesn’t have to be complicated if you know what to focus on: guest list size, venue comfort, menu choices, and timing.
Start by deciding how many guests you want to invite. Keep it smaller than the wedding day to maintain intimacy and reduce costs. At Da Mikelle Palazzo, the minimum guest count for in-house catering is 80, which fits most brunch events perfectly.
Next is choosing your venue layout. Our 9,000 sq ft ballroom allows you to set up buffet stations or plated meals comfortably. Our sound system ensures clear announcements or background music without echo issues, tested extensively by our team.
Food is key — brunch has to be delicious and suit varying preferences. We’ve tested numerous caterers and found locally sourced menus get the best reviews from guests. Whether it’s classic eggs Benedict, fresh pastries, or vegan options, we customize menus so everyone feels included.
