We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding rehearsal dinner at Bistro Seven Three. Their unique indoor/outdoor space provided a fancy yet private setting for our special event. The staff was very easy to communicate with throughout the planning process, promptly answering our questions and accommodating our menu requests for the rehearsal dinner. On the event day itself, the servers were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure everything went perfectly.

I held my local wedding reception at 3BR, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate with friends and family who couldn’t attend our destination wedding. The atmosphere at 3BR was relaxed and welcoming, creating the ideal environment for a more intimate celebration. From the start, the owners were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They kept open communication throughout the planning process and were more than accommodating to our needs. One of the things I appreciated most was their flexibility—they allowed us to transform the space after hours to fit our vision, and they made sure every detail was taken care of. Not only was the space unique and full of character, but the vibe was truly one-of-a-kind. The cocktails were a hit with our guests, and the overall ambiance made it a memorable evening for everyone. The owners were friendly, pleasant, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made the event even more enjoyable. If you're planning a smaller wedding event or reception, I highly recommend 3BR. It’s the perfect place to host a celebration that feels both personal and special. The combination of great service, a fantastic atmosphere, and delicious drinks makes it a standout venue for any occasion.

We held our wedding reception at Five Boroughs Brewery in October 2023, and we couldn't have been happier! We opted for a combination of seated and standing for our 65 guests, designating the long banquet tables for our families to gather, and the high-top tables for our friends to mix and mingle. There was space in the center of the room for speeches, a musical performance, and reciting our vows before inviting everyone onto the dance floor. Our guests loved the Five Boroughs beers on tap, and they also offered wines and cider, as well as seltzer for non-drinkers. We had catered appetizer platters set up along the wall, and a food truck parked outside. There's also a ramp entrance, which was very helpful for my 93-year-old grandmother. The ambiance in the taproom was warm, intimate, and beautiful even with us opting for very minimal additional decor. The staff was kind, communicative, and helpful every step of the way--the care they took to ensure our wedding went perfectly was really evident. Our Five Boroughs wedding was joyful, intimate, and personal.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Gran Morsi team will be in my heart forever! After not reading my contract carefully enough (READ THE FINE PRINT EVERYONE, DON'T BE LIKE ME), I realized I had booked the private event space for my wedding welcome party on the day of my wedding... and came to this realization as all our guests were already at the restaurant. Skyle appeared like an angel, and within 30 minutes she pulled together the event we had scheduled for the next day, including every appetizer in our contract and even the playlist we had sent. The professionalism and grace of the team and Skyle especially was truly unmatched. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant's food, its atmosphere and its caring and committed staff.

Temperance 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Up to 75 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,500

A vibrant and unpretentious West Village restaurant and wine bar with the best by-the-glass wine list in the world. Our food menu is Mediterranean-inspired and includes an eclectic assortment of small, but shareable bites. Our space is ideal for parties and receptions, but due to its floor plan, does not lend itself to wedding ceremonies or presentations where sight lines are critical.

  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Creates a sense of togetherness
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No on-site bridal suite
  • Dance floor not included
As I planned our surprise engagement, I wanted to choose a location to go after that moment to celebrate with a larger group of friends and family that resonated with both of us, so our local wine spot, Temperance, was perfect. Having no idea whether they would even consider a private party I reached out through an email on the website and quickly realized how kind and accommodating the staff was. We were able to rent out the back patio and fully customize the space with our own set up and outside decorations. As a part of the space rental we were allowed an allotment of more than enough food and, more importantly, a customized collection of reds, whites, oranges and rosès. I’d recommend letting the staff pick the specific wines, they’re the experts after all (they did pick one special wine just for us and immediate family based on my specific request, but I like to pretend that was just for me). It was the perfect place to celebrate with around 25 of our closest friends and family. The one downside was they have a hard cutoff of 10pm due to some vocal neighbors but the staff was very upfront throughout the booking process that that was going to be the case, so there were no surprises. Additionally, because of how much we love the aesthetic inside near the bar and the room fronting Carmine Street, we also asked if we could start our engagement photo shoot at Temperance before they opened one night. Once again, we were met with a staff that went out of their way to help us anyway they could and even gave us a glass of wine each to take the edge off of some poses that feel extremely ridiculous in the moment, but turned out to be great pictures. We were as happy with those pictures as we were with both of those experiences at Temperance.

Someday Bar was the perfect spot for our after-wedding celebration! The team was incredibly thorough and really understood the vibe we were going for. Megan was super thoughtful with everything we wanted, and we coordinated together before the big day to make sure everything was exactly as we envisioned. The venue itself is a huge, amazing space that was ideal for hosting our wedding shenanigans. The staff was wonderful, the craft beer selection was top-notch, and they even have a drag show that our guests raved about. 10/10 would recommend Someday Bar, even if you're just looking for a casual spot for drinks with friends.

We've been regulars at Wild East since they opened, so it was a no brainer for us to hold our wedding reception there. The space is beautiful and the team is wonderful and very easy to work with. Casey, in particular, was immensely helpful in guiding us through the process. We had approximately 85 guests for a seated dinner in the taproom; the adjacent cellar room was the perfect space for our caterer to set up the buffet. We were lucky to find an amazing DJ who kept everyone dancing throughout the night. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We had an amazing experience with Anthony and the team at Da Nonna Rosa. From the very beginnings of communication, it was evident that Da Nonna was so excited to have us and ready to accommodate differing requests. Our reception was about 65 people, including a couple of young children. The space was absolutely perfect for this size. Da Nonna also accommodated a live band for us! There was plenty of room for dancing and everything was so well-maintained. The food was amazing and we were able to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions. From every little detail (like playing our own Spotify playlist, to bringing our own decorations in) to the larger picture (like the cozy, classic Brooklyn vibe we were going for), Anthony attentively and with a lot of heart helped us plan the best party of our lives. We also got to take home two weeks worth of delicious leftovers. Thank you so much again, we will remember this night forever.

I visited about a dozen bars and restaurants in the area and Tavern 29 had the best space by far. Their pricing was very reasonable and they were flexible with me on the structure of the pricing.

We planned our wedding with Aline and Melissa and everything was perfect. They even worked with us to make sure our timing and lighting would be great in the barrel room for our ceremony. Both Aline and Melissa helped us figure out vendors (including porta potty!) that would work for the space. The space itself is perfect- gorgeous historical castle! Bourbon barrel room? So dreamy and exactly what we wanted to celebrate our marriage, and our time in brooklyn. We had friends go over earlier to help the KCD team set up. Everyone was so helpful and understood what we wanted for our wedding day. The entire team was responsive, helpful, and cared about our plans. Due to some of the liquor laws the distillery works within, Melissa helped us find the perfect beer and wine. We did a cocktail testing before the event to decide on what we’d serve. Anything we would have picked would have been awesome - but we decided on a strawberry bourbon smash and the old fashion. The bar tenders were amazing. Our day was so perfect, and the staff really made it possible. I want to do the same wedding again and again.

My wife and I were determined to have our wedding in New York City and researched a bunch of venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Radegast was the last place that we visited, and we put our deposit down the day after our walk through and ended the search. Sean managed the booking for us, and we felt his attention and thoroughness immediately. This was in stark contrast to the apathy that we felt at other places; almost like we needed to work for any enthusiasm from the venue about booking with them. We felt “wined and dined” by Sean and super confident that he would take the event as seriously as we were. We ended up booking The Bier House space with the buffet food option. Our intuition was right, Radegast was incredible! Not only were they the most affordable option that we could find in the city for our number of guests, but the space was so beautiful that we didn’t have to spend money on any additional decor. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive and friendly, and all of our guests were really impressed. Sean and the staff at Radegast “bent over backwards” (a quote from our wedding planner) to make sure that our vision for the day matched reality. They helped solve any problem that came along, and did so with a smile. They were as accommodating on the day of the event as they were in the months leading up to it. The price was exactly what we were quoted, there were not any unexpected add-ons or fees. The event was an absolute blast and the venue had a lot to do with it. Also the location is incredible. Williamsburg is perfect for everyone; your NYC friends are a subway ride away, your weird conservative relatives from Long Island can park in the parking garage literally across the street and run home right after the event, and anyone unfamiliar with the city will leave the event loving how pretty Brooklyn is. This is absolutely the best value for a wedding venue in New York City and the positive vibes are through the roof!

Working with Quality Branded group to create an intimate city wedding was a perfect fit from start to finish. The service was top notch, the food was better than any typical wedding, and the setting was beautiful. It was just what we were looking for. More than one friend shared it was "the best wedding food I have ever had". It was a day we will remember (as will our friends) for years to come.

We cannot recommend Casa Ora enough. From our first time dining at Casa Ora, we were greeted with such wonderful hospitality and food. We felt as if we were family! We were originally going to host our wedding shower with 60 people in Casa Ora, but ended up going with their new sister restaurant 2 doors down, at Lulla's Bakery. The space was SO beautiful. From the furniture to the decor to the color choices, we loved every part of it. The drinks were spectacular as always. If you're looking for an intimate celebration with good food and drinks, this is your sign to book with Casa Ora!

My wife and I got married in Princeton in August, and we hosted a dinner / welcome party at Ficus on a Friday evening. We cannot recommend it highly enough for an event! Every course of dinner was phenomenal, and it felt like we were getting 5-star quality food at a very reasonable price. The smoked salmon canapes, ratatouille, seabass, potato croquettes, desserts - all superb (and that's not even half of the things we ate!). The h'ors d'oeuvres were also delicious, and the service was extremely friendly - Quinta and the team were great to work with prior to the event as well. The space itself was perfect, with a good amount of room on the outdoor patio and plenty of space inside. (We had 80 people at the event). Perfect for folks who might be a little more COVID-cautious and prefer to eat outside. If you want to host an event in Princeton, Ficus is a great spot.

I can't speak enough about how easy it was to work with everyone at 26 West. They let us tweak the menu for our rehearsal dinner, and with views of the Navesink from upstairs it was a great night. The service was spot on, and in a day and age where there is a shortage of staff, they made sure everything was taken care of. Anything that anyone else needed they were on top of.
