The Venues at 78th Street Studios was an amazing choice for our wedding. From the start, their communication was straightforward and fast, which made the planning process so much easier. The space itself is incredible - a blank canvas that allowed us to truly make it our own. Working with David, the manager, to customize the event locations was so helpful. On the day of the wedding, the staff went above and beyond to ensure I was happy and that all of our vendors could do their thing seamlessly. I couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out, and I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for an incredible space with the freedom to make it their own.
