    We were married at the Box House two months ago and had a genuinely mixed experience. 99% of our guests felt the evening was wonderful; the views were great, the food was outstanding, and the drinks were strong. Many said this was one of the best weddings they’d been to. However, from the paying customer side, we had a different experience. Starting with our tasting back in August, we were served a “chef’s selection” menu, instead of a small sample of all the dishes we could choose from. Outside of one salad, we didn’t want any of these options, most of which were an upsell. Additionally, they cleared tables 45 minutes early, as we wrapped up our meal. We expressed our concerns during the tasting and they assured us that on the day of our event they would not clean up early, even inviting us back to try more food from the menu. Though an imposition, we scheduled a second visit to their restaurant, which resulted in finding the dishes that we liked and ultimately picked for our menu. Flash forward to our wedding day and staff began clearing tables at 10pm when our event ended at 10:30pm, leading some guests to leave early because they thought the event was over. In addition, 99% of our guests had cleared the dance floor by 10:30pm, but at 10:30pm on the dot, a staff member physically moved me off the floor (as I helped a guest!) so they could set up a ladder to take a disco ball down. We were very clearly being rushed out of the space. One week out from the wedding, Box House Event staff convened a call to go over final details. From the start, we’d been explicit in our planning document about the order/timing of our speeches. Despite having all of our information for months, the staff belatedly expressed concern about our timing. Rather than work with us, they told us what they were doing to change our plans and didn’t offer options or alternatives. It was all on us to come up with a working solution, but we all ultimately left the call in agreement, or so we thought. Day of, they made an “executive decision” to revert back to their original suggestion without asking us. This left us no choice but to let it happen. This was the one part of the night that guests had negative feedback on. Before the ceremony, the Box House gave a key to our hotel room to anyone who said they were here to see the bride. This was a huge security risk because multiple people who weren't my husband or me had keys to our room on our wedding day! Lastly, post-event they loaded our room with all of the decor we provided (which was helpful!). However, come checkout, the desk told us we needed to get carts and load everything ourselves. When I pushed back (that we had had our wedding there the night before), the front desk person offered to bring up a single cart. We then had to load it ourselves, bring it down, unload it in the lobby, bring back up for the second load, then bring down, then load the uber in the pouring rain. No hotel personnel helped, just a few guests from the hotel. If you don’t have a strong vision for how your day will flow, we highly recommend the Box House. If you are particular in what you want to see happen and when it happens, you may have a hard time working with their staff. We understand they do a lot of weddings and are professionals/have seen what works and what doesn’t, but at the end of the day, you are the paying customer (and paying a lot at that) and should have the final say in how the most important day of your life goes.

    I cannot say enough about how amazing the Box House was. The venue alone is truly special and a gem in the city. From our first tour to the day after our wedding, the staff was exceptional. They made the process very easy special thanks to Abbas, Mariel, Daryna and Nick. I planned my wedding without a wedding planner and with the help and expertise of the planners at the Box House you do not need one!! The event staff was also super accommodating to some of our requests, and remembered little things we mentioned to them in passing (shout out to the passed around espresso martini shots!). Aside from the venue and staff, the food was fantastic. Probably the best wedding food we’ve had and I’m not being bias! Thank you Box House!

  • Amazing experience & amazing team!

    We are so happy that we chose The Box House Hotel as our venue (on 8/25). They made the entire process relatively seamless and were very organized, which in turn kept us organized, which was especially helpful the month of the wedding. I didn't have a month off, or day of coordinator, but with the BH team, I didn't need one. They were constantly in contact and reminding me of outstanding items, and reached out to my vendors to coordinate day of logistics and anything that was needed - keeping me stress free. If anything went wrong the day of my wedding, I have no idea about it - they kept the operation going on time and without a single wrinkle. The actual rooftop venue was beyond stunning. We got the daytime sun, sunset, and night time views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The optionality of having the roof open or closed cannot be found anywhere else and we loved getting the party started by opening it for the reception. Food and drinks were so good, and the staff was very helpful and friendly - even joining us on the dance floor while waiting to clean up a spill. I could not recommend TBH and their team more!!!!

    My husband and I had the most perfect day at the Box House Hotel. If you are looking with a venue with city vibes, and a rooftop the box house hotel really does it all. The food was excellent, everything went smoothly, and the staff really knows what they are doing. Highly recommended!!
