You can absolutely do both! The Mykonian Garden—a fully covered, outdoor courtyard oasis—is an incredibly popular spot for intimate, romantic wedding ceremonies. It seats up to 100 guests and gives off distinct Mediterranean vacation vibes right in Queens.
While the restaurant can handle up to 200 guests if you utilize multiple rooms, the individual spaces break down as follows for a seated reception:The Main Room: Up to 100 guests seated (150 standing). Mykonian Garden: Up to 100 guests seated. The Front Room: Up to 65 guests seated (ideal for rehearsal dinners or bridal showers).
No. Because Laterna is a fully operational, highly rated restaurant, all catering must be handled in-house.
Yes. Greek and Mediterranean cuisine is naturally accommodating. The culinary team can easily tailor dishes to be vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free upon request.
