“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!!”

Coupled with the team's outstanding level of professionalism, we couldn't be happier with our experience.

The view speaks for itself, so much so that you don't even need to worry about extravagant decor because of it. There are also so many gorgeous spots nearby to take photos, like the parks near the water, as well as hotels to stay at.

The team was a well oiled machine, They handled every transition and any small hiccup with precision and grace. The personal attention given to the couple throughout the reception was greatly appreciated. The attention to detail day of was a wonderful contrast to their more hands-off approach to the pre-planning. The front desk staff at the hotel provided exceptional service from handling questions about the room block to tracking down and setting up a pack and play for the littlest guest.

“The Sanctuary is an incredible wedding venue. They offer a well-valued wedding package and were extremely flexible with our changing needs and desires. All of the staff is incredibly helpful and kind, the food was good, and our guests even told us that we "undersold" the venue to them. It is the perfect spot for a waterfront city wedding! The DJ and wedding cake companies they work with are also great. We had a lot of special customizations for our wedding so we hired an outside day-of-coordinator, and the staff worked very well to incorporate her. Highly recommend!”

“Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.”

“We hosted our wedding at Strong Rope Brewery and couldn’t recommend it enough! We’ve always loved visiting the brewery, so it felt like a natural choice when we started looking for a wedding venue. Between the beautiful views, spacious layout, great beer selection, and stellar staff, it was everything we could have hoped for. We rented both the hall and taproom for our reception and held our ceremony on the patio, which worked out perfectly. Yahaira, the lead event coordinator, was a pleasure to work with throughout our year of planning and really helped bring our vision to life. She was easy to communicate with, flexible with our needs, and incredibly organized, always thinking ahead and asking the right questions.

“My husband and I couldn’t be happier we went with Riverview Ballroom for our wedding day. The venue is gorgeous, classy and refined. The chandeliers are gorgeous, I’m obsessed with the bars in the large riverview ballroom… it’s very cool how there’s a slightly separated area with 2-3 stairs with a bar and couches. It gives a lounge vibe. The room has the fun purple-ish colored marble bars but the rest of the room is fairly white, allowing brides and grooms to really design and color it however they want. No carpet anywhere which is … great. We had exactly 200 people at our wedding. We did the ceremony outside (thankfully had a gorgeous October day) with the cocktail hour in the large room to the left (I forget what it’s called) and then reception in the riverview ballroom with the amazing nyc view. The room did NOT feel crowded at all, the dance floor was still big. They can fit up to 700 people in there but I personally think a sweet spot would be under 300, comfortably. Especially if you have alot of dancers in the crowd!! The bathrooms are beautiful as well which is always a nice touch. I used the bridal suite the morning of but had a lot of women with me so we also needed that side room (where a lot of indoor ceremonies take place). Thank God we had that room, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get ready there the morning of. So bridal suite is awesome, had a sick massage chair which my mom loved! But fits comfortably 10 people total including hair and makeup. So keep that in mind if getting ready on site is important to you. Absolutely possible because I had 12 women with me morning of plus 5 glam team, so a total of 17. Staff was there getting us coffee and such which was nice. My advice to any bride going to ANY venue is to communicate clearly with what you want and how you want the day to go, BEFORE the wedding day. We personally didn’t experience any issues, but there are minor things I wish I vocalized, but never had time too (like where exactly I wanted the flip flops to be displayed, minor things that are not a reflection of the venue just advice!!!) I thought I would remember to vocalize them the morning of the wedding, but I was wrong. Anyways back to the venue (lol!) the balcony space outside the ballroom is such a nice touch, giving guests a breath of fresh air and some beautiful spots of nighttime photos. The staff was exceptional at the end of the wedding, helping us clean up quickly, packing up all of our bins, and letting us keep them there for 1-2 days while we got out lives together. We worked with Monika and she was such a pleasure, always kind, PATIENT, responsive and supportive while shooting us straight. Worked with Stefanie as well who was always super helpful and didn’t mind my 192937 questions. I never felt misled in any way, never felt like the venue was trying to sucker every dollar out of us. We feel like we paid fair value for what we got and despite it being a lot of money (200 person wedding) we feel confident we got the best deal around. No regrets, we’d choose this venue over and over again. My vendors had an easy time working with them as well which helps make the day go smoothly. I am a very type A bride and person and I had asked the venue if they think I should get a day of coordinator and they told me no. I am glad I didn’t because it would’ve been a waste of money. At this venue, it wasn’t necessary. We feel like we found a hidden gem.”

We had our wedding here back in October 2025, and it went so well. Nadia and Bella were so patient with us as we navigated our planning, and the staff on the day of were equally great! Everyone raved about the food, and the atmosphere was perfect. We lucked out - the rain held off which made for a truly beautiful outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. I think the rain scared some à la carte diners away that night, so it really felt like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Thank you again to Nadia, Bella and everyone at Stone House for helping make our wedding perfect!”

He built a dock, put up a sign…and slowly, the first passenger sailboat in New York started to draw attention from locals. Today, aboard the Shearwater and Clipper City, we share the joy of sailing our beautiful harbor with visitors and New Yorkers alike. Offering an incomparable setting for your wedding, we’ve developed into a world-class venue.
