My husband and I just got married at Terrace on the Park on 2/17/24 in the Penthouse. The venue is absolutely stunning. We had looked at plenty of venues before selecting this one. From the start, Mildred was so helpful. Answering any questions we had and making sure all of our expectations were met and exceeded. The finalist manager, Nicole, was also amazing. Both her & Mildred were there on our wedding day to make sure everything went as planned. The chapel was set up beautifully for our ceremony, and the cocktail hour in the garden suite was amazing (from what we heard). The venue itself provides breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding landmarks, such as the world’s fair globe, citifield, Arthur Ashe stadium, and others. I wish I could go back to the beginning and plan it again with the same people!

A friend of mine recommended that I hire Aneta for my wedding makeup and I am SO glad that I did. Aneta is so incredibly talented and she made my wedding day makeup vision come to life - it was PERFECT, better than I could have imagined. My goal was “natural glam” – I wanted to feel glamourous but also still feel like myself (I don’t wear a lot of makeup day-to-day), and that’s exactly what Aneta did. Aneta also did my mother’s makeup for my wedding and my mom can’t stop talking about how fabulous she felt (and looked!). Aneta was thoughtful, responsive and caring in both the planning process and actual wedding day makeup application. I can’t say enough good things about her. I highly recommend Aneta!

This was the first venue we visited and instantly knew it was the one for us, a lot of which is down to the level of service BG provided.

Pàn was hands down the most perfect venue we could have found for our wedding! We wanted a space where we could have both indoor and outdoor portions of the day, and were ideally looking for a restaurant space to avoid the hassle of separate catering. Pàn checked all of those boxes. From the very beginning, Yuki and her team were attentive, thoughtful, and thorough in their communication. The planning process was seamless, and Yuki in particular gave us so many great, creative suggestions about how to best optimize the space. On the day-of, their work was nothing short of fabulous; the restaurant and yard both have a charming, rustic beauty that created the exact ambiance we were looking. Yuki was also incredibly accommodating when helping us design the perfect menu, as a few of our friends are gluten free/vegan/have allergies. Our guests STILL talk about how abundant and delicious all the food/pizza was, and having an amazing meal was a top priority for us! We had the most incredible day thanks to Pàn, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding celebration the best it could have been. We cannot recommend Pàn highly enough!

  • Serves Long Island City, NY

I dropped out of the physics program at Purdue University to pursue graphic design and photography. I fell in love with light; hard light, soft light, warm light, cool light, clean light, dirty light... all the flavors of light. And I fell in love with how the camera captures light and renders an image. For me having a camera in my hand is being home. I hope that feeling comes through in my photography. I look forward to chatting with you about your special day.

We hired Tom as our wedding photographer and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made! In the midst of stressful wedding planning, Tom was professional and made things super easy for us. Not only was Tom with us for the entire day (over 12 hours) he was on top of the action the whole time! I’ve been to many weddings where the photographers sometimes seem inattentive and miss some of the action, but Tom did not miss a beat — his energy and enthusiasm was honestly impressive. Beyond that, his patience and attention to detail were evident in each photo, and the curation of our wedding album. He made plenty of helpful recommendations regarding our album and was patient when we wanted to incorporate small changes or details. The end result was nothing short of perfect. We couldn’t recommend Tom any more highly!

MEET YOUR STORYTELLER! Welcome to my world of creator, where I make sure every frame is imbued with the essence of your love story. I'm Rafael Viveros, and through meticulous storytelling, I aim to do more than just capture moments; I strive to weave cinematic experiences that endure the rest of time. Weddings? Ah, they're my jam! There's something magical about freezing those candid smiles and tearful vows in time. Plus, who doesn't love a good love story? Each film is a reflection of my couples - their hearts, vulnerabilities, and cherished connections. Life's an adventure, and I'm always ready to capture the next big moment.

We found Rafa through a Facebook group once (finally) decided to have a videographer at our wedding. Best decision ever!! He was a professional from beginning to end and put so much effort into capturing every detail. His team was incredible, and we recommend him to every one of our friends getting married. We're so happy with our video and so happy we chose to work with Rafa!

New York, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $30,000

Fully restored to its original glory, the TWA Flight Center offers 200,000 square feet of flexible space including outdoor terraces. Original details — the Vulcain clock, sparkling white penny tile and plush Chili Pepper Red carpets — exude Jet Age glamour. Saarinen’s iconic Flight Tubes (made famous by the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can) lead to guestrooms and museum exhibits, as well as provide a premium photo opp. The nostalgic clacking sound of two authentic Solari split-flap boards — and the view of the 1958 Lockheed Constellation on the tarmac just outside — fully transport visitors back to the golden age of travel.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Handles all cleanup logistics
  • Provides catering services

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
Our wedding turned out to be incredibly beautiful, thanks to a unique venue and execution by its staff. However, that perfect day was almost derailed by the unacceptable pressure campaign to change ceremony locations due to concerns over furniture getting wet. We wanted this review to capture our nearly 20 months of planning with the TWA Hotel. PLANNING PROS: -Variety of spaces -Responsiveness -Flexibility for storing supplies CONS: -No FAQ document -Frustrating room block system -Forgotten menu tasting notification -Lack of communication and contradictory info from the Paris Cafe for rehearsal dinner THE WEDDING PROS: -Organized and accommodating staff -The food, especially the pastrami station and red velvet cake for dessert CONS: -Wrong display with typo on Solaris board in the Sunken Lounge -Our tiered wedding cake wasn’t cut and served even tho there clearly wasn’t enough sheet cake to pass around -The weather “policy”: We were told that we could make a final decision on an outdoor ceremony up until the morning of our wedding, and our point of contact reassured us of this during our final walkthru 2 weeks out. Our contract also secured the Sunken Lounge as the backup option if we chose to move indoors. However, in the final days and hours before our wedding, we were pressured to move our ceremony indoors, despite nearly all weather reports showing clear skies for our 5-6pm ceremony and rain only after 9pm. Our point of contact started questioning our outdoor plans 4-5 days before the wedding, and even met with us multiple times - first in the lobby while we were dropping off supplies 2 days before our wedding, again when we were checking in the next day, and yet again when we were at the pool before our rehearsal dinner, where we had to brush off our guests in order to have a serious meeting. Each time, they told us we needed to make a "final call" now, not the morning-of as we had been told before. After listing their reasons to move the ceremony indoors (which included threatening to release the Sunken Lounge from our backup option, despite what our contract said), the point of contact mentioned that the head manager was concerned about the rain damaging the leather chairs, and then proposed a “solution” of having the ceremony outside, but not setting up any chairs so that our guests would stand for the entire ceremony. It was clear to us that the real reason why we were being pressured was that the manager didn’t want their leather chairs to get wet! We asserted that, unless we were explicitly told we couldn't have our ceremony outside, we would stick with the outdoor option. The morning of our wedding, our day-of coordinator informed us that the venue was insisting they now had a “50% chance of rain policy”, giving them the “right” to change ceremony locations. We immediately forwarded reports from 10 weather sites that all had a chance of rain between 5-7pm at 0-30%. We finally saw chairs being set up outside in the mid-afternoon, and when our ceremony got underway, the clouds parted ways and the sun started shining. CONCLUSION: The TWA Hotel is such a special place to celebrate your wedding! Before you sign the contract, however, understand that you’ll have to stay on top of the planning process, and in cases like ours, fight for what you envision. Make sure the contract spells out any and all promises — there were items that we made sure they honored as it was clear the hotel’s policies had changed since the signing.
