We absolutely loved our wedding at The Sanctuary! We initially worked with Amelia and then with Arthur and Kat towards the end of our planning process. Every contact at The Sanctuary was very responsive and accommodating. We loved the space, especially having multiple different areas for guests to enjoy (the chapel for dancing/desserts, the tent for dinner/conversation, and the outdoor patio for smores!) and the beautiful NYC skyline in the background. The bridal suite where we all got ready was spacious and comfortable. I was a little nervous about the temperature in the tent during a November wedding, but it was very comfortable! We will always be grateful to The Sanctuary for our beautiful wedding!

Our guests and we had a wonderful experience at Le District at our wedding in May 2022. Since our family abroad couldn't make it to the wedding, we were only looking for a space to host a dinner for our 50 or so friends and we thought about Liberty Bistro in Le District since we used to live in the BPC area and had brunch there and we thought the interior design was beautiful and the size of the place fit our needs perfectly. The location is just perfect by the waterfront with an amazing river view and there is also an oval lawn right outside in which we thought about doing the ceremony but unfortunately, we eventually had to do it at Belvedere Plaza 200 feet away since it just so happened that the lawn was closed for maintenance that day. The Liberty Bistro restaurant was able to book out the entire indoor dining space for us without venue fees provided that we meet a spending minimum on food and wine. We had a great experience nailing down the food and drink menu with them - the restaurant had great options and communications were effortless. We were able to bring our own flowers and balloons and our friends DIY'ed the decorations though there wasn't too much to decorate since the space already looked nice and sweet. We also had our own seating plan which involved moving the tables and chairs and Le District was able to help us with it too, apart from the booths which cannot be physically moved. The night went smoothly; we were able to hook up an iPad to the sound system and play our own hand-picked wedding playlist; The guests enjoyed a 3-course prix-fixe menu (with additional vegetarian options); we also did our first dance under the beautiful tree in the center of the restaurant. At the end of the night, when we net out a few hundred under the min. spend, the restaurant was able to throw in a couple of champagne bottles for us to take home. We wish we could share photos of that wonderful evening to show how great it was and we really appreciate Le District for the great food and drinks, service, and communications, and just for being the place where it all happened.

Maritime Parc exceeded our expectations as a wedding venue. The location was a spectacular backdrop for our day. Coupled with the team's outstanding level of professionalism, we couldn't be happier with our experience. Aside from the unforgettable views, some things that stood out to us and set Maritime Parc apart, included the incredible quality of the food, professional bartenders serving handmade cocktails, and a night-of team that anticipated all of our needs.

CURRENT at Pier Sixty is an AMAZING place to have your wedding! From the moment we saw it, we were mesmerized by the open concept, water view, color-changing ceilings, and friendliness of the staff. They were so responsive to all of our questions while we were selecting a venue. After booking, they were always immediately responsive to us with anything that came up.  So many people told us this was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to and so much of that is due to CURRENT and its staff. The sun setting over the water is just unreal. The linen color choices are plentiful, and we were able to select the color that went perfectly with all our other wedding decor. It makes it so much easier that they include an Event Coordinator, who coordinates everything leading up to and on the wedding day. He answered all of our questions any time we had them, and was there from the moment we arrived on the wedding day. He guided us through every part of the day, from walking down the aisle, to coordinating everything during the cocktail hour and reception to ensure guests were okay and where they needed to be.  The bridal attendant they include was PHENOMENAL! She helped steamed the dress, was with us during all pictures (even fanning us to cool off in between!) and was the most attentive person. We had no idea someone so incredible would be with us.  The menu choices are unending! And it's all delicious. Everyone was blown away by the quality and quantity of the food!  CURRENT literally was the wedding of our dreams..more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We recommend them to everyone!!

Gabe and the entire crew at HH knocked it out of the park. The entire day went flawlessly, they worked seamlessly with our vendors, set up the rooms better than I could have ever imagined. Not to mention the space itself/location is GORGEOUS….but funny enough, we booked the space for the insane views of NYC, but happened to get the foggiest day of December - it. Did. Not. Matter. !!! Hudson House KILLED IT and made our day beautiful, stunning, and perfect start to finish. Our guests are raving about the time they had.
