Have your wedding here!

If you're thinking of having your wedding (or any event) at Manhattan Penthouse- do it. From our initial contact, Alisa was so incredible to work with. She's so responsive, transparent, and easy to work with. Not to mention- the room is stunning and the food is incredible (we seriously got so many compliments). Thank you to Alisa and the entire staff at Manhattan Penthouse- our wedding was nothing short of a dream!

gorgeous Manhattan venue

Monika and the team at the Manhattan Penthouse were great to work with! When we moved our reception from 2021 to 2022, they were accommodating and flexible.

The biggest appeal and benefit of the space for us was that it has everything: staff, food, alcohol, linens, etc. It made our lives and planning process so much easier.

The venue itself fit our black tie wedding beautifully, thanks to features like the stunning views of NYC, the beautiful old-school bar, and the baby grand piano. Its central location was a huge draw, too, as it was easy to access for locals and out-of-town guests alike. We were very impressed with the food and drinks, and they also let us bring in additional special wines/spirits, which we appreciated. We found them to be very reasonably priced compared to other venues in the city, and the quality of everything they provided was excellent.

40th Birthday Celebration

I cannot say enough about Sam and his amazing team! As an event planner, I work in so many venues and really appreciate great service and friendly knowledgeable professionals. From the initial conversation through the close of the event, we experienced first class hospitality and top notch service, not to mention delicious food and a memorable experience. You can really tell that the staff loves their job, but people as well. I would absolutely work with Sam and his team again! I'm looking forward to introducing my clients to their sister locations Sassy & Alger House which we had a privilege of touring during the planning process.

Best Value in NYC!

We really believe this is the best wedding venue in NYC. No question, it’s the best value for the location. We booked the venue almost a full 2 years in advance, and the whole planning process with them couldn’t have been smoother.

About two months before we attended a tasting where we got to try samples of some of the appetizers and entrees (we fell in love with the pumpkin ravioli, highly recommend!). It was great to have an evening in the space, try the food/wine, and see the amazing 360 views of sunset.

The entire staff here is amazing. Monika made sure the planning went smoothly, and took care of menu planning for our gluten free/vegan guests. The wait staff and bartenders during the event were attentive and kind. We got many compliments from our guests both on how good the food was and how excellent the service was. Thank you for everything!

Love this venue

I am so glad I booked this venue for my wedding! The value is simply amazing. Monika was an absolute saint. She was so communicative and accommodating, even after the wedding. Our guests raved about the food and drinks. Not one bad item on the menu for dinner or cocktail hour, we were told. Seriously, this venue is a great decision. Plus, the views are gorgeous, and guests had so much fun taking photos.

Amazing Service and Hidden Gem

Manhattan Penthouse is the absolute definition of hidden gem wedding venue in the middle of Manhattan. I am so so lucky that my now husband and I stumbled upon this amazing venue for our wedding. The food was amazing, our guests raved about the cocktail hour and the views were absolute perfection. I cannot say enough nice things about Monika. She was so accommodating in every single way and was always quick to respond to my questions. She truly made our experience seamless and made all of our additional request for the reception (like substituting in different alcohols) happen. She allowed us to drop off items a few days before our reception, which made the days leading up to the event much less stressful for us and allowed us to come back through out the day after our wedding to pick up anything that was leftover. We loved our experience at the Penthouse. Thank you again, Monika! You were the best!!

Classic and classy NYC wedding venue

Finding an affordable option in the city for an all in one venue was a challenge until we fell in love with the Manhattan Penthouse. The price was right and the in-house catering was a big plus for us. The food was delicious and there is a variety to choose from. The views of uptown and downtown Manhattan are unforgettable and the bar area is classic old New York. Monika was a pro to work with, made everything very easy and accommodated all of our requests. Highly recommend!

Wonderful venue

Manhattan Penthouse was an absolutely amazing venue for my wedding. From the moment I saw the lovely, light-filled space and met with the fantastic Monika, I knew this was the best place to hold both our ceremony and reception. (Plus, for an NYC wedding, the convenient location can't be beat). Throughout the wedding planning process, Monika couldn't have been more responsive and helpful. She made the whole process smooth and as stress-free as possible. The day of the wedding everything ran seamlessly, and our guests had a wonderful time. I loved how thoughtfully the space was set up, with a cocktail/bar area for cocktail hour, and a big ballroom for both the ceremony and the reception, as well as a lovely little "bridal suite" off to the side where I could get ready beforehand. I would certainly recommend this place to brides and grooms looking for an elegant and well-run wedding venue in NYC!

Outstanding

We just got married at the Manhattan Penthouse. Monika, Jeno and Glenn did an amazing job in making our wedding memorable. They were flexible in what we wanted, attentive to detail and available to answer questions. The venue is beautiful with amazing views of New York City and the food was delicious. They really went out of their way to make our day special. Would highly recommend!
