“My husband and I met in a wedding band so we have been to more than 400 weddings, almost all of which were extremely high end, so we knew exactly what we wanted and had very high expectations (on much less of a budget than the weddings we play)! We are so thrilled to have chosen this venue for our wedding because they knocked it out of the park! My family is not from the NY area and they were blown away by the building, the amount and quality of food, the service, etc. My husband’s family IS from the NY area so they expected great things, and the MOB delivered. Emily was so amazing through the entire process, answering my incessant emails and questions quickly and kindly. Mike we got into contact with the week of the wedding and everything ran smoothly. They were patient while we figured out how to make my husband’s vision of a large king’s table for us and our large bridal party happen, and facilitated all of the coordinating. I still had my own month of coordinator, but they take care of so much there, she was able to focus on more minute details because they had everything handled. We did not use any of their recommended vendors. We had a friday wedding to ensure we were the only ones getting married there that day. Bridal and groom’s suite were excellent. Timeline followed to a tee. Could not be happier! And a little hint to future couples: don’t listen to people who say Lessings is bad because they do so many weddings; they are so good at weddings because they do them all the time. Take it from someone who has seen it all, you DO NOT want to go to a place that doesn’t really do weddings. And lastly, so many of the most expensive places we have played are very similar to the mid-tier places we play. Don’t worry if your wedding isn’t at the Pierre, it is upsettingly similar to have it elsewhere.”

“Earthplace was perfect for our 145-person ceremony. It is stunning, unique and great for those on a budget, as the space needs no additional rentals or decorations. Truly cannot beat this venue, and the staff was responsive, helpful and accommodating every step of the way. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to allow for a bar truck and chuppah to be installed without disrupting the nature/wildlife.”
