When we stepped into The Sanctuary for the first time we knew we had found a hidden gem. The venue is right on the water but tucked away in Roosevelt Island, creating an amazing combination of city views with a quiet setting. They provided excellent service from start to finish during our planning process. Our guests had an amazing time, food was great and we loved our wedding so much!

The Marquee Astoria was fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication style was good, respectful, professional and kind. The venue itself provided ample space that was clean and well-maintained, making it completely worth the value. Our wedding day went so smoothly with no stress, as the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating to everything we wanted. Everyone we interacted with, from the initial booking to the day-of, was super nice and they even checked in on us regularly via email to make sure we were doing okay. And the food was great too!

The Foundry is a beautiful venue and so easy to work with! Angela and Lindsey were so helpful and responsive. We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful setting, it was just perfect.

The venue itself was perfect for our big day. It’s a rustic raw space, but the wood and brick finishes make it warm and inviting. I docked a star because they tried to pull one over on us. When we first booked, they sent a brochure that clearly stated the venue included chiavari chairs, however, when we checked in to confirm the furniture inventory, we were told they never had chiavari chairs and I must be mistaken. When I sent the screenshot and the email with the brochure, they had no explanation. So, I will say this— it’s a nice space, but beware of false advertising.

We could not have asked for a better experience with 3 West Club and our incredible event coordinator, Jonah. From the very beginning, Jonah was an absolute professional—always responsive, flexible, and attentive to every detail. He went above and beyond at every step, making us feel completely supported throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, he executed everything flawlessly, and it’s no exaggeration to say we could not have done it without him. Jonah is truly the best, and we feel so lucky to have had him by our side. The venue itself was stunning—the event spaces are elegant, timeless, and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding reception. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the space and how seamlessly the day flowed. Beyond the gorgeous setting, the food was absolutely phenomenal. From the cocktail hour to the dinner, every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and we couldn’t agree more. The entire 3 West Club team provided exceptional service, going out of their way to make sure we (and our guests) were well taken care of from start to finish. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel so at ease, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment of the celebration. We have nothing but phenomenal things to say about 3 West Club and Jonah. If you are looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance, incredible food, and extraordinary service—with the most dedicated coordinator you could ever hope for—look no further. We could not be happier with our experience and will cherish these memories forever.

Maison May is the perfect venue. We wanted an intimate house-party feeling for our wedding, with a space that limited the guest list, and we didn't want to plan much. When we met Catherine, she told us we'd have 5 more choices to make if we booked with Maison May: our outfits, the flowers, the music, the rings, and our desserts. We wouldn't have to rent forks or plan seating arrangements. They have dedicated staff already hired, a chef who cooks some of the best food in NYC, and clear guidelines for exactly what to expect with every choice we did need to make. For a bride with a high intensity job who couldn't dedicate 100% of my time to planning every detail: I felt like everything was perfect. What mattered mattered, and what didn't was handled for us. I cannot thank Maison May enough for making our wedding day feel so special.

The Prospect Park Boathouse was our absolute dream venue and the perfect setting for our big day! We had been torn between having a wedding more in nature or more in the city, and the Boathouse was the perfect blend between the two. Although the food wasn't our top priority, it ended up being a highlight of the day (especially the bacon wrapped dates). Throughout planning, Elena was very communicative and quick to respond to any email or question we had. Many of our guests commented on how elegant and classic New York the Boathouse was as a venue, and that's exactly what made us fall in love with it in the first place. We're also very excited that they recently opened a cafe out of the Boathouse during the day as well so that we can go back and relive our special day over and over again. A big thank you to Elena and the rest of the Purslane team for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Our experience with CBH was nothing short of perfect! We had a small 54-person cocktail hour and reception, both in the Othmer Library, and we could not have dreamed of a more perfect space. The overall atmosphere of the library was incredible, and we leaned hard into the old-world feel of the space. Our guests were in awe when they walked in, and the fact that we were able to be involved every step of the way made it so special. CBH works exclusively with Purslane as their caterer, and all communication was done through Purslane, who are also amazing and make fabulous food. (We had many raving guests.) They also help arrange all the rentals, create the run of show, and ensure the night is running along as planned, which it did! A few things we weren't expecting: - The library itself is on the smaller side, so if you want to have dinner and dancing there, you're looking at 60 people tops. This worked out fine for us with plenty of room for a dance floor, but we did have to significantly cut our guest list. - Since the building is a historical landmark, no food or drink that could stain (red sauce, red wine, coffee, etc.) was allowed. This never bothered us, and none of our guests even noticed since we had a fully stocked bar and incredibly delicious food. - We were required to hire a professional day-of coordinator. This was not part of our budget, so be prepared if it's not in yours either. We ended up working with Mostest since they were the least expensive service we could find, and they were amazing. It turned out to be so useful to have our DOC there, so we're happy this rule was imposed, as it led to a seamless night! - The library set up a new exhibit a few weeks before our wedding in the Fransioli Gallery where we were to have our cocktail hour, and we did not know what it would constitute until a few weeks out. We ended up deciding the contents of the exhibit weren't very well suited to a wedding, and CBH/Purslane were incredibly accommodating, offering to put up pipe and drape or move the cocktail hour. We chose to move it to be in the Othmer and were so happy with that decision. Overall, CBH is a 10/10! Our wedding felt like a dream, and anything we had to sacrifice was far outweighed by the stunning space. We would highly recommend CBH as a venue if you're looking for a more intimate night with immaculate vibes!

Cocktail hour alone was unforgettable—with hot and cold stations, passed hors d’oeuvres, and options for every dietary need. Guests told us over and over how much they loved it and didn’t want it to end. Then came dinner for nearly 180 guests, and every single plate arrived warm, beautifully cooked, and perfectly timed. No one left hungry, and the wine selection elevated the meal even further. To top it all off, the late-night station kept everyone fueled for the dance floor—it was a huge hit. The Team: A special thank you to Kevin Mattner, President of Masterpiece Caterers, who ensured our wedding went off flawlessly. From our first tour of the venue through every moment of the wedding weekend, Kevin’s professionalism, expertise, and care were unmatched. He helped us source amazing vendors, designed menus that fit our vision perfectly, and coordinated every logistical detail so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s clear he is passionate about making each event extraordinary, and we could not be more grateful. If you’re looking for a chic, classy New York City wedding venue, look no further than Sixty Pine Street. And if you want an event team who will exceed your expectations in every way, Masterpiece Caterers—and especially Kevin—are second to none.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married at the Picnic House in April 2024 and had a great experience! It's a beautiful space that you can do a lot with. We really appreciated both having both the flexibility of choosing amongst a variety of vendors, as well as the assurance that given their experience with the venue that they'd be easy to work with day of (which was true- we had a very smooth wedding day!). We really appreciated working with Caity, who was very responsive over email and quick to pick up the phone. Our only struggle was in acquiring our parking passes (that was really the mail's fault) and in getting some answers early on regarding external alcohol policies. And I would say be very careful in selecting your caterer, since they'll make or break your experience. But overall I would absolutely recommend the Picnic House to anyone! The price really can't be beat for what you're getting.

We brought our very picky, Italian mothers with us and they were floored by everything; vendors, room, staff, food…everything was outstanding! Both moms fell in love with the cannoli girl and insisted we book her on the spot. Thank you, Lynne and your team! This showcase has made us so excited for our wedding on 4/10/26!
