Simply, the best!

I just had my wedding at The View at the Battery (April 2025) and cannot recommend them enough! Libia is an ANGEL. She is so sweet and professional and she (and her whole team) will make sure your day runs perfectly. Everyone was raving about the food and the venue space. It is simply the perfect space for a Manhattan wedding at a very reasonable cost (compared to other places). Thank you, Libia & Team! You made our day perfect and we are forever grateful!

The Perfect Venue--The View

First, I would like to say thank you so much to Kevin, Libia, Emma, Victoria and Elizabeth. You were all so amazing and I apologize for my late post.

My husband and I tied the knot on October 3rd, 2024. This was our second choice and I am glad we went with it. Kevin was professional and listen to our needs. The location of The View was perfect. I have to say my husband fell in love with it first. The vintage look is what attracted him to it. The food was delicious. I have to say cocktail hour was the best. Our cake was delicious. The only downside is there is no parking but there are many parking garages near by. I suggest you do your research and make sure you ask the parking garages what time they close so it doesn't become a problem for your guest when its time to go home. I learned one closed early before the wedding date so I made sure my guests avoided that one .

Our ceremony was done inside and located on the second floor. Our cocktail hour was on the first floor and it was a combination of inside and outside the venue. Our reception was back to the second floor. There is a bridal suite but make sure you ask if you can have your make up and hair done. I was told no but then they changed their mind which saved me money from renting a room at a hotel. I would say that is my only criticism.

Overall, I am forever grateful the wedding went smoothly. I highly recommend this venue for any event you have in mind. All the staff were super friendly and that is a huge plus for me. One side note, this vendor has more than one location in case you want to see what they look like. Their prices were reasonable and they work with you. When you do book with them you will get a chance to sample their food as your wedding day approaches. Of course, you can visit their restaurant anytime to try their food.

Great venue in downtown NYC

My wife and I got married here a year ago. Nikki was professional and made sure we were taken care of. All of our guests raved about how amazing the food was. They worked well with our wedding planner and made it a very seamless event. My wife and I lived our best lives that day.

Best Venue in NYC!

Truly the best venue in NYC! Booked 10 months before our wedding and it was such a seamless process throughout. Nikki is the best person to help with any of your wedding needs and truly made me feel calm and taken care of the entire time. She was very responsive to all of my questions and was so caring in our wedding. Went through everything clearly during the tasting and the rehearsal and was a rockstar at the wedding! They made us a plate of appetizers for right after the ceremony and Nikki came to make sure if we wanted anything else and brought us some more of the passed around foods that weren't plated yet. Truly the best day of our lives and such an incredible venue. The food was delicious and people got so full during cocktail hour that they forgot there was also a dinner! The cake they provide was beautiful and tasty. There was construction on the pier outside the venue, but wasn't noticeable on the balcony and still had a fantastic view and pictures. The pricing was also the best in the city and they were very flexible with last minute changes.

Excellent experience!

My husband and I held our wedding reception at The View in March of 2023, and could not have been happier with the experience! From initial consultation to the actual day, Nikki and her team did everything imaginable to make us feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for. Nikki is extremely personable and organized—you can tell she’s an absolute professional at handling every imaginable wedding detail! From the moment we booked the venue, she was super attentive and responsive to any questions or emails (I even noted some very late-night email replies and wondered when she sleeps!). It’s no secret to most brides, the closer to your wedding date, the more stressful and overwhelming all the nitty-gritty details become. At our final meeting before the wedding, Nikki confidently reassured me that on the day of our rehearsal and final drop off to the venue, there would be nothing left to stress about. It was exactly the pep-talk I needed at the time, and she could not have been more accurate! The entire event ran seamlessly. If you’re looking for an amazing cocktail hour—look no further! The food was absolutely delicious and our guests still mention how great the lobster rolls were months later. Our photos came out beautiful, and while the waterfront is gorgeous, we also have incredible portraits in Battery Park with the Freedom Tower as our backdrop. When all was said and done, it felt like we had a trusted friend looking out for us on our wedding day. 10 out of 10, would recommend having your NYC wedding at The View!!

Amazing venue and experience!

From day 1, Nikki and the staff at The View were wonderful to work with. They were incredibly helpful, transparent, and genuinely invested in making sure our wedding day was perfect. Nikki answered all of our questions quickly and provided guidance when we weren’t sure on something. The food was delicious and the whole day flowed seamlessly thanks to Nikki and everyone at The View.

1,000,000 out of 10 - The Perfect NYC Venue!

There will never be enough words to describe how absolutely amazing our wedding experience was at The View at The Battery - from initial planning through to the actual day. My husband and I really had our hearts set on getting married in the city but when we started looking at venues, really did not think it was going to be possible to find a place that offered everything we were looking for, was high quality AND within our budget but The View at The Battery changed everything! The space is beautiful, the food is beyond words, the service is 5 stars and the team you will work with is the best of the absolute best in NYC!!! Kevin, Nikki, and their whole team were so incredibly kind to us from the very start and made the whole planning process so incredible easy. They were SO accommodating, honest, transparent, and thoughtful every step of the way. The team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed/wanted (no matter how big, like a swap in the menu or how small, like helping family members with directions) and made sure that, not only did my husband and I have an amazing day, but also that all of our guest did as well! All of our friends and family have been to many, many weddings in their lives, and nearly two weeks later, they are all still talking about how amazing all the staff was and that they are still dreaming about the cocktail hour and dinner meal!! All of our wedding dreams came to life thanks to Kevin and his team. I truly cannot ever say enough good things about The View at The Battery and we will be forever grateful to them for all they offered and did to make our day a perfect dream come true. If you have read this far - look no further than The View at The Battery!!

Dream NYC wedding!

My husband and I got married at The View in September 2022 and it was an absolute DREAM! From our first meeting with Kevin, we knew we were going to be in excellent hands as we embarked on wedding planning and he continuously proved us right in that regard. Kevin was extremely attentive and detail oriented (which, as a Type A person and bride, I really appreciated) and ensured we had everything down to the last detail ironed out ahead of the big day.

The weekend started with a beautiful rehearsal accompanied by champagne and other cold beverages for our family and wedding party. The day of the wedding went by a mile a minute but Kevin and Nikki were there moving everything along without a hitch. My husband and I greatly appreciated having a few minutes to ourselves post-ceremony in the bridal suite, and Kevin and Nikki made sure we got to taste everything from the cocktail hour during our time together.

Everyone raved about the all food and drinks and desserts, and we were able to schedule everything so that we had a 2 hour dance party at the end of the night! It really was everything we had hoped it would be and more.

We looked at several venues around NYC and The View was by far the most transparent about pricing as well; something anyone can appreciate when planning a wedding! We were able to budget everything down to the dollar including taxes, gratuities, etc. which really helped ease some of our stress.

Honestly if we could get married a second time we absolutely would; but in the meantime we look forward to many anniversary dinners there for years to come.

Affordable! Accommodating! Flexible! Beautiful!

Affordable! Accommodating! Flexible! Beautiful! This venue is absolutely amazing - like out of this world, make your wedding dreams come true AMAZING!!! We weren't sure our NYC dream wedding was in our budget but after our first meeting with Nikki at The View, we knew it was the place we had been looking for. Nikki answered EVERY single one of my questions (I mean every email, every text and every phone call) in the year leading up to our wedding and offered her suggestions when we weren't sure about certain things but she also respected and honored our vision from the beginning and worked with us from the second we first viewed the venue to the second we were leaving at the end of our wedding. Our guests could NOT stop talking about the food, the location, the drinks - everything!! I still can't believe how lucky we were to find this place. If we could get married here every year we would because we were so stress free the entire planning period and felt like we had the support of Nikki the whole time. I even asked her if she thought I would need a day of coordinator and she said that she would handle everything. I was worried about leaving her with too much but she took care of it. Her and her team put out all of our individual place cards, put our family pictures in the picture frames and found a holder for our drink sign that had broken. They also packaged EVERYTHING up (I'm talking BOXES of decor) and put it all back how we originally brought it the day before. When we came for the rehearsal the day before, our guests were treated to champagne and cold drinks and welcomed like family. Nikki helped me gather everyone I needed for our formal pictures after the ceremony and made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when. She was EXCEPTIONAL and helped us bring our wedding vision to life. We handled most of the décor portion ourselves (centerpieces, florals, arch, décor) and she worked with us the whole time to make sure it all came together how I pictured it. I would recommend this place to everyone!! Our guests still haven't stopped talking about our wedding 2 months later and it's all thanks to Nikki and her team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
