My husband and I had our wedding at Faculty House this past weekend. Faculty House is a stunning venue, right on the Columbia University Campus. Emerald, the Assist. General Manager, was amazing to work with and so organized. She was incredibly helpful in determining the event timeline, coordinating with the all vendors, and ensuring that every step went smoothly. The other staff who helped out that day were such professionals and provided wonderful service. I highly recommend - you will not be disappointed!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with the Faculty House. Yvette and Scott carried our day with such grace and made sure the space was fully prepped with what we needed. I’d trust them one hundred times over. Don’t hesitate to book here! They were wildly considerate with our budget and helped us customize the perfect day.

We loved our wedding reception at the Columbia Faculty House! The staff were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating throughout our planning process and on the event day. They let us store our decorations and serve our own homemade beer (!), set everything up perfectly, had plenty of snacks for us while we got ready in the morning, and thoughtfully packed up our cake, flowers and gifts before the end of the night. We never had to worry about the details. The tall windows, natural lighting and terrace on the 4th Floor were spectacular and let us have the best of both worlds with indoor and outdoor space. We chose the stations option for our dinner, which allowed for a flexible menu that catered to everyone's tastes and dietary restrictions. The entrees, passed hors d'oeuvres and drinks were all superb. We had a total of 80 guests which felt perfect on the 4th floor, though it could easily have fit a few more.

TALK TO EMERALD!!! SHE IS THE BEST IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING IN MY WEDDING!!!!!!!

Emerald, Leslie, and the staff were wonderful! We worked closely with Emerald, who communicated with us throughout the entire process, provided multiple drafts of table set-ups, and always inquired internally when we had a question or specific request. I did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. Emerald took care of all the details, and followed the schedule and my notes to make sure everyone was where they had to be!

beautiful rooms, amazing views, lovely staff- worth the money.

I had my wedding at Columbia University Faculty House in July. Leslie, Emerald, and the rest of the staff were amazing to work with. I could not have asked for a better staff to work with during the stressful process of wedding planning. They were very prompt and patient with my endless questions and ongoing email chains. I had worked with them over a year since my parents live in California and had planned a trip solely to look at wedding and reception venues in New York City. We had first met Leslie and her staff in May 2013 and we were very impressed by the space. We loved the building and different options we could use for the different events throughout the day.

We had our ceremony at Saint Paul’s Chapel, also on Columbia University’s campus, but the wedding party met that morning at the Faculty House to get ready. The setup of both the bride and groom’s suites were beyond measure. Not only did the staff set up the tables, but went above and beyond to set up all our favors and escort cards. They also set up all the extra signage and nontraditional table numbers to the proper tables without direction. I could not have been more impressed.

Leslie and her staff were amazing during our cocktail hour and dinner reception. The food was amazing; all our guests could not stop complimenting the food both during the cocktail hour and sit down dinner. The staff were also great and brought platters of hors d’oeuvres to the wedding party as we took a break in the groom’s suite during cocktail hour. The very attentive staff served my husband and I first during dinner so that we could finish early and make our rounds to the other tables. Their service was impeccable.

I cannot thank Leslie and her staff enough for the amazing job they did for us on our wedding day. We were

The Presidential Ballroom was the perfect size for our 110 guest wedding. Set up for the reception and ceremony were superb- fast and efficient. The staff were extremely courteous and professional. Everything was done according to what was discussed. Food and drink in the bridal and grooms suits exceeded our expectations- we never had to ask for any refills. Food was excellent- better than what we expected for wedding catering. The cake was set up so beautifully and served fast. We were given the option of storing our wedding things in the bridal suite and manager's office, which helped us to no end with set up. The cost of everything was reasonable, especially considering we were holding a wedding in Manhattan.

We will definitely be recommending Faculty House as a wedding venue for all the reasons listed above, but mainly for Louise Castellano, our contact person. She was amazing beyond words. Louise was always courteous, professional, and timely in her responses. She took detailed notes every time we asked for anything and was extremely accommodating with our requests. On the day of, everything (yes, everything!) was done according to plan. For example, we had wanted the chairs set up with smaller rows the reception and decided not to go with a small table at the front of the ceremony for the efficient. We told Louise at the rehearsal. Next day, ceremony setup was exactly as we talked about.

We had given Louise an itinerary of the ceremony and reception, and she had that in her hand the whole day. She knew where everyone and everything should be and was always easy to find when we needed her. She was always present but not overbearing or in the way. We will DEFINITELY be recommending Faculty House to all our engaged friends. We will tell them to request Louise. We are supremely grateful for everything she did for us.

Leslie and the staff at faculty house are amazing. They were always responsive and flexible. They were professional throughout the process, and the event ran smoothly the day of the event. I would highly recommend.

I had my wedding at Columbia Faculty House. The setting there was perfect for a small and intimate wedding. The event planning officer there was very helpful and worked with my wedding planner to create a perfect wedding for me.

The catering was absolutely wonderful. My wedding planner came to the food tasting with me, and she said out of all the weddings she helped planned in NYC, this place has the best food and service. The cake was also covered with the catering service.

The price is very reasonable for the quality of services and quality of catering.

Highly recommend this place for a wedding ceremony and reception.
