Ten Stars for Cafe Erzulie!

We got married at Cafe Erzulie and Damballa in September 2025 and the whole experience of planning the wedding and partnering with the ownership and staff of the venue was fantastic. Chris was super responsive and helpful as our main point person. The planning process was very relaxed and stress-free even though we only booked the venue five months ahead of time. Everything we asked for - tweaks to the menu, custom cocktails, a privacy screen to get dressed behind, a keyboard for our ceremony - they were happy to accommodate and totally delivered on.

We had 100 guests - our ceremony was in the backyard at Cafe Erzulie, followed by a cocktail hour at the bar at Erzulie, then a seated dinner across the street at Damballa, finally dancing back at Erzulie. All the staff on the day of were incredibly warm and welcoming to us and our guests and made the day go really smoothly with all the transitions from place to place. Both venues were beautiful and well-decorated - they provided silk greenery and all table linens. The food was fantastic (we chose mostly from the core Haitian menu). The costs for the venue were transparent and reasonable for a wedding in the city.

We would not hesitate to recommend Cafe Erzulie to anyone who wants a truly unique New York City wedding.

Wow- best wedding ever!

Cafe Erzulie – Perfect Wedding Celebration Spot!

We hosted our wedding celebration at Café Erzulie with around 100 guests, and I can’t say enough about how amazing the entire experience was! The management and staff were incredibly organized, working closely with us to ensure all the day-of details were sorted perfectly. They truly went above and beyond, operating at the level of professional event coordinators.

The food was Haitian cuisine, served buffet style, and it was absolutely delicious. They set up the space beautifully, transitioning smoothly from the ceremony to dinner and then dancing. If you’re planning a small wedding, party, or family event, I highly recommend Café Erzulie. The team there will make your day truly special! If you want my planning materials, advice or feedback- feel free to ask Mark or Chris for my info! - Layla :)

The Perfect Party for Our Wedding Celebration

My husband and I wanted our wedding celebration to be unique to us and an extension of how we live our lives by highlighting the places we love in our neighborhood. We had a lovely dinner with 75 of our closest family and friends followed by a truly incredible party at Cafe Erzulie for 150 people. We had guests in their 90's and guests in their 20's and everyone raved about how special and fun the party was. We have had so many great Jazz nights and late weekend nights at Erzulie and it was a dream to be able to have the place to ourselves and dance the night away. The staff worked really well with the catering team that we brought in for late night food and made the whole night so logistically easy. The drinks were delicious and such an improvement among standard wedding bar drinks. The backyard was transformed into a tropical disco party and our family and friends danced the night away. The cabana areas and inside tables provided people with space to talk and rest while the dance floor was busy all night long. The DJ, who plays regularly at Cafe Erzulie, was beyond incredible. We couldn't have been happier to have celebrated our wedding at Cafe Erzulie. One of the things I was most put off by when I started planning our wedding was how "wedding-industrial-complex" things can seem, and Erzulie felt one of a kind.

We love Cafe Erzulie!

My husband and I were looking for a fun venue where we could have a ceremony and reception all in one. Our priorities were great drinks, plenty of food, and being able to dance. We weren't interested in a ballroom-type wedding, and wanted something that felt personal and joyous.

Cafe Erzulie was INCREDIBLE. The staff are all so sweet and kind and helpful, and we ended up throwing a party that felt like us. We had minimal flowers, and the space still looked absolutely beautiful. I'm so grateful to the entire Cafe Erzulie staff for making our wedding so special!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
