Awarded Best of Zola
As two people who work in events, we came into wedding planning with a clear vision and high expectations — and The Sanctuary exceeded every single one. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but the team behind it made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Cat and Arthur truly stepped up to make sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to actually enjoy the day and just have fun. That’s not something we take for granted, especially knowing all that goes into producing events like this. We also want to give a big shoutout to Steve the bartender, who was part of our initial tastings and ended up being a total hit with our guests. His energy, professionalism, and cocktails added so much to the experience — people are still talking about him! From the planning process to the final moments of the night, the entire team’s professionalism, care, and attention to detail were evident. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the space was and how effortless the whole celebration felt. We’re so grateful to the team at The Sanctuary for helping create a day that was meaningful, joyful, and completely us. If you’re considering this venue — go for it. You’re in the best hands.

The Venue: From the moment we walked into Sixty Pine Street, we knew it was the one. The space is a historic mansion tucked into the Financial District, and it is truly stunning. The bar on the first floor is absolutely gorgeous, with a classy, old-New York feel that set the tone for our entire celebration.

Our guests loved exploring the different spaces, and the glamorous, old-school New York City vibe was everything we dreamed of for our wedding. The Catering: The food and drinks from Masterpiece Caterers were a highlight of the evening. 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.
