Sunday Brunch Cocktail Perfection!

First off, the review will focus on Genese, the best wedding planning ANGEL on this planet. Forget the beautiful venue, forget the great service staff, forget the countless meetings and calls she had with us to make sure everything went exactly as we wanted. This venue hit everything we wanted within a reasonable price. Genese was with us every step of the way and was not only flexible to serve our needs, but helped us find solutions to things that came up throughout the process. Genese and Monarch will be a special part of our memories forever!! -Ricky & Chika

I thought the view was the wow factor.. then I received the service

We held our wedding reception at Monarch Rooftop Bar on 28 October 2019 and not only were our guests blown away by the venue and Empire State Building views upon arrival, they and my new wife and I, were equally inspired by the great customer experience, food quality, drinks service and attention to detail displayed by Genese Perez and her fantastic team.

We’re British and live in the U.K. We love New York and made the decision to hold our wedding in The Big Apple. We travelled over to view venues in January 2019, seeing many lovely venues but upon meeting Genese and seeing Monarch we knew immediately this was where we wanted to host our guests in the most special day of our lives.

Arranging a wedding is difficult, doing so across a 3000 mile and 5 hour time difference is even more so, however with Genese coordinating our wedding we were completely filled with confidence from day one. She was incredibly flexible with their menu and drinks choices, patient whilst we made up our minds and changed numbers and she went above and beyond to liaise with all of our vendors, ensure they were prepared and appropriately informed for the wedding date itself and take all stress away from us. Even on the wedding day itself, we had forgotten to arrange food for the photographer, but before we had realised or the photographer even seemed to realise Genese had provided a meal for her with no extra costs levelled to us or burden of stress put upon us.

You can tell that Genese is passionate about being the best and genuinely wants her customers wedding days to be outstanding. This culture is clearly top down and her team seemed equally bought in.

Genese is a great host, a highly capable event manager and a fantastic wedding coordinator. The Monarch Rooftop Bar is one where your guests will be blown away by the views and ambience. Booking the Monarch was a fantastic decision and one we will always be thankful we made. Genese- thank you!!!

Perfect for a Fun Youthful yet Intimate Wedding

I contacted Monarch along with several other vendors and still very unsure about what I wanted. I walked in and was very impressed with the style and decor of the bar and the views...OMG the views!!! Then I met Genese, the Director of Events who is just utterly amazing. She full of energy, so sincere and genuinely committed to making your day the very best. Before I walked out I knew it was my place. I returned the next day tasted the food and put my deposit wn.do
