Deity is so straightforward and makes it easy for couples to focus on the moments that matter instead of pricing our table cloths.

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue. From our first visit we were amazed at how personable and committed to making our day special the team was. While most venues unlocked the doors and let us take a quick look, Una spent the better part of an hour giving us a full tour, showing us photos of countless possible setups, and answering any and every question we could think of. Throughout the planning process Una was always ready to help, not to mention tell us a great story. Nikola was also gracious enough to host us for a great tasting of the wine offerings from the family vineyard. The view of the city speaks for itself, but the space is also beautiful and very flexible. We were able to bring in a variety of outside vendors to transform the space in a way that fit our vision and felt very personal. SRS was easy to work with and the day of ran very smoothly, even with a variety of vendors. We couldn't be more happy with our experience. Highly recommend!

We recently had our wedding at the 408 and could not be happier with our choice. From the staff to the atmosphere, everything was perfect and our guests had nothing but good things to say. We had about 55 people which made for a cozy and intimate wedding that never felt cramped or awkward in the space. The 408 is already so beautifully decorated which allowed us to bring in minimal items and utilize items already at the 408 such as candles, vases, and plants to decorate the tables and ceremony space. Maria (event manager) was fantastic throughout the planning process answering every question quickly and with detail, and the staff the day of was professional, incredibly friendly, and attentive. We have nothing but good things to say about the 408 and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone regardless of the event type

Wow! We had our wedding at Farm to People (FtP) in June 2026 and we cannot recommend them enough! It was easily the best wedding planning decision we made. Planning: FtP made wedding planning so much easier! From the very beginning we were blown away by how much FtP offered, all at a very reasonable price (especially when looking around at other venues NYC). The in-house catering, rentals, drinks, ceremony space, dessert, and florals significantly cut down on the things we needed to find ourselves, and FtP provided a list of local vendors for the things not provided in house. In addition to offering so much, it was also clear from the start FtP they cared about us and our experience. Rachel was so helpful from the beginning, and met with us regularly to discuss what we wanted and work through the wedding planning process. She would regularly go above and beyond to troubleshoot any issues or answer questions to ensure we were happy with the day. Ariella was also so helpful at managing the staff/logistics. The Space: FtP is absolutely beautiful, especially when dressed up for a wedding. The venue is spacious enough for us to have felt comfortable with our 118 guests, and could probably have accommodated more depending on layout. The two spaces inside FtP, as well as the outdoor space, offer a number of different options for configuring your wedding, especially if you’re planning to have your ceremony and reception there like we did. FtP somehow feels both spacious and intimate - I’m not sure what it is about the space, but every time we were there, it felt like such a beautiful and inviting space. This was no different on our wedding day. We didn’t need much decor and only brought in a couple of signs and two large floral arrangements. One thing to note is there is no traditional “getting ready space” on site, so you will need to get ready elsewhere. Food & Drinks: Food and drinks is one of the areas where FtP especially shines! Their partnerships with local farms ensure they have incredibly fresh, in-season ingredients in their food and drinks. They have different food packages to choose from, and we were able to customize as we wanted (we had passed apps a charcuterie grazing table during the cocktail hour and a buffet for dinner). FtP was also able to easily handle any guest dietary restrictions/allergies. The food was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it, and we received many compliments from our guests about it! Similarly, the drinks were spectacular! My husband had a vision of the cocktail wanted as “his” at the wedding, which he designed himself. The bar captain at FtP (s/o Jules) was able to work with his recipe to make the cocktail my husband designed to be served at the wedding (which my husband bragged about throughout the night lol). We were able to have 3 custom cocktails (including one named after our cat, which Rachel made a sign for that included her picture 3). All of the staff at FtP were so kind and helpful! We didn’t have any issues with the venue, and we felt like true VIPs and so well taken care of. We had the best, most carefree, love-filled night! All of our guests raved about the food, the space, the drinks, and what a fun time they had at our wedding! FtP is such an incredible value for what they offer, and we’re so thrilled to have had our wedding there. It was worth every penny and then some, and we’re so grateful to all of the staff there! Keep doing what you’re doing FtP!

If anyone is looking for a wedding venue in New York, Rule of Thirds (RoT) should be in your Top 1 list!!! What made RoT so special to us were the people who helped us throughout our wedding planning process. Thanks to people like Gracyn and Julie, we couldn't have asked for a better venue. They were always responsive when we needed them and always handled our questions with care. It was through the way they helped us that made us feel confident with our decision to host our wedding at RoT. The venue is perfect for anyone looking to have a small wedding. The venue is cozy but still has that "New York" vibe that makes it feel special. Even with minimal decoration, the whole venue shined bright and impressed all of our guests! My wife and I were left speechless when they gave us a sneak peak before the dinner reception. Not only was the venue amazing, but you can't forget about the food! My wife and I came to RoT (as a restaurant) before and were familiar with the food they served. Our reason for choosing RoT was mainly because the food was so good. However, we were worried that the food quality may drop since they would be serving a large group of people. Boy, were we soo wrong!! Even though they cooked food for such a large group of people, RoT still managed to keep the quality of their food. All our guests were raving about how good the food was and that they wished they had more. This made us feel even happier with our choice and we will never regret it! The only sad part now is that we will have to wait for another opportunity to come for us reach out to RoT for another event. If you are looking for a wedding venue (or any event venue) please use RoT! You won't regret it!!!!

Soooo thankful to have found Rustic Pines for our destination wedding!

I had two great experiences with The Pier Sixty Collection. Both my wedding at Current and my work’s holiday party at Pier Sixty. The events were both unforgettable, and the staff was truly outstanding. I had the pleasure of working with Marlon, who was our wedding coordinator and worked our holiday party and I can’t speak highly enough of him. He goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Marlon does an incredible job of making sure guests are happy and the event flows seamlessly—he’s truly one of the best. Secondarily, the food is amazing. Friends and family still talk about the food that was served at our wedding months later! All in all, this is an amazing collection of venues with great staff and I hope to happily attend/host many more events here.

Was hoping to get professional photos before leaving this review, but guest photos will suffice and I'll come back later with more. Shell's Loft was the perfect spot for our wedding and everything came together there so well with minimal stress! Steve and the entire Shell's Loft team responded to every phone call and email quickly, they were extremely flexible with our schedule, getting into the space, accommodating the deliveries and vendors, and went way above and beyond to help make the day come together. They were able to flex a little bit with the bar package so I could get one of my favorite cocktails on the menu, were happy to help us out with furniture, and at one point when we were dealing with an electrical issue (with our equipment, not there's) they even brought in an electrician to help us resolve it at the last minute! They have a roster of experienced vendors that we tapped into for lighting and music who knew the space well, worked quickly, and delivered an incredible experience to the guests. The sun came in through the skylights and large windows during the ceremony and when the sun went down and the lighting came on, the space absolutely came alive for the party. The pictures are great, but even they don't do it justice. Steve knows the area well and was helpful advising on parking, afterparty spots, had great ideas for food and dessert options, and was an all around enthusiastic collaborator. I could ramble about this further, but suffice to say, they do an exceptional job at being responsive and flexible, and they brainstormed and collaborated with us on ideas for the event and were happy to help us with solutions and access to vendors and experts.

The most perfect wedding venue you can find in NYC. The skyline views, the rooftop, the penthouse, the food, the service, it is all unbeatable. Almost every single guest told us it was the most perfect wedding they've ever gone to. First, the planning process. Eman is the most organized, efficient and professional coordinator you will find. She was there with us every step of the way, guiding us to make all the best choices. On the day of the wedding, it is scary how she is able to get things done. It's clear she has done it a million times and knows exactly what to do to make sure everything goes smoothly. The food - guests still have not stopped raving about the entire cocktail hour, from the sushi station to the sliders. For dinner, the entrees are ACTUALLY delicious - not your typical wedding food at all. And the dessert parade (also super yummy) is such a fun surprise to end the night with. The service - there were so many staff everywhere to help answer questions and give directions, and every single one was patient, kind and helpful. During the dinner, guests said that their water cup was never empty and the server for each table was responsive and accommodating. We never felt like we were just one in a hundred weddings they've done that season. It made all the difference for it to feel like a high-class event. The venue - you won't get views like this anywhere else. The rooftop for a ceremony is so so unique and special. The foyer was the perfect place for cocktail hour, such great vibes. And the penthouse was jaw-dropping gorgeous. The candles and string lights against the nighttime skyline makes for the best backdrop. Again, all the guests were raving about how beautifully it all came together. Ravel made our entire wedding into a perfect night we will never forget. You will not regret it!!

We are so grateful to Church of the Ascension for allowing us to have our wedding ceremony and our reception. When we first saw the place, we fell in love. The space is absolutely beautiful with many amenities. Our goal was to have an intimate wedding with a luncheon to follow and everything turned out perfect. Our family was star struck over the beauty of the church itself and we couldn’t have picked a better place. There is so much potential in this space in terms of decoration (in which minimal is required). The church itself does have things available if you need them such as chairs, tables and some decorative glasses. We used the chairs available at the venue to maintain the aesthetic and they even provided some glasses when a few of ours broke! Overall this experience was a 10/10 and I would choose church of ascension again and again if I had a choice. The place is beautiful, affordable, everyone is extremely hospitable and they want the best for you. Lauren was helpful from the very beginning. She answered all our questions and checked in throughout the planning process to see if we needed any help. She was always available and had no problem communicating/working with our caterer, florist, and photographer. She has such a sweet soul and truly wants you to have the best. She was very accommodating for our rehearsal and was even helpful during the wedding itself! God bless you Lauren! Thank you for helping us have the wedding of our dreams.

Prospect Park Picnic House was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. The beautiful location, with a couple parking passes for our vendors and guests, was ideal for our small celebration. If you have a larger party in mind, parking may be more difficult, though it worked for us. On the day of, the staff kept the venue secure, answered all of our questions, and even help lit the indoor fireplace which was a lovely touch. The venue was spotlessly clean and well-maintained. Leading up to the event they were patient in helping us work through the process of securing insurance permits from all of our vendors, which was a requirement. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we're so grateful to the Prospect Park Picnic House team for making our special day truly memorable.

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.

Milk And Roses was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the communication with their event coordinator Susanne was direct and non-urgent, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, requiring little to no additional decorations. The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere were incredible - we received so many compliments from our guests. Susanne pulled everything together seamlessly, creating very little stress for us along the way. We and our guests had the best day of our lives celebrating at Milk And Roses.

We could not be more happy with how our wedding turned out at Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. There are so many things that make this venue special. The service, the scenery, the food, and the run of show were all spectacular. The service. We received attentive and detailed service throughout the entire planning process. The director of events, Bob, answered all of our emails promptly and with detail. He is a wonderful man who goes above and beyond to make sure that we were thoroughly satisfied and feeling well taken care of. Bob was so fantastic at helping us come up with solutions to challenges that emerged at different stages of the planning process, and we couldn’t have pulled off the party we wanted without his patience, thoughtfulness, and support. On the day of, we were made to feel so special by all the staff at MBYC. We were given a personal “bridal attendant” who followed us around all day and attended to any needs we had that came up- like holding my bouquet during photos, getting us fresh drinks, grabbing some items from the bridal suite. All of our guests were telling us how impressed they were by the level of service and consideration they received from all the staff. Everyone was kind, professional, and in great spirits. The scenery. The venue space at MB&YC is truly RIGHT on the water! It is so incredibly gorgeous. The cocktail hour is on a beautiful deck over the water. The reception is in a ballroom with giant windows facing the water. The space does not need much more decoration to feel special. It is elegant and special, yet practical, home-y, and not at all stuffy. The food. We were so impressed by the food. Typically wedding food is basic and mass produced, but every dish at MB&YC felt special. We had so many friends after the wedding recounting their favorite bites throughout the night. The mac and cheese bites as well as the New York Strip Steak were definitely crowd pleasers. Not only was the food plentiful, but it was all also incredibly tasty. Bob and his staff also made sure to take care of our guests with dietary restrictions. Everyone ate well at our wedding. The run of show. Bob and his team were working very hard the evening of our wedding to ensure the schedule was kept and everything went as planned. Leading up to the event, Bob heard all of our concerns and desires, and he was able to execute a fabulous event the evening of our wedding. I was never once concerned that something was missing or forgotten, I trusted Bob and I knew he was going to make sure we had a perfect night. Overall, definitely book your wedding here at MB&YC! We can’t speak highly enough about our special day here!

We held our wedding at Kin this past October, and our experience was exceptional. Kate, our coordinator, was so fantastic—attentive and ensured the day ran seamlessly. She was so good at communicating leading up to the wedding as well. Kin isn't your typical wedding venue; they prioritize individuality, listening to your vision and bringing it to life. The space is a beautiful blank canvas and the location is ideal as it’s right off East Ave and very close to hotels. Both Kin and Root, owned by Kristen, excel in quality and service. Kristen's holistic approach to food was evident, making it a highlight of our day. Honestly, the staff was just beyond incredible. They made the day by bringing positive energy and ensuring everything was perfect. Would highly recommend!!
