We had our ~125 guest wedding (ceremony + reception) at Sunset Terrace in May 2024. It was an excellent experience and I feel so lucky to have been able to work with the venue team of Sherwin and Haley. They are incredibly proactive, kind, and professional.

We thought this venue was very reasonable for all that is included! It has a lot of character and we loved having the outdoor space/terrace.

I highly recommend their preferred vendors, Patrick from CityIris for floral and Jason Demarco via Allen Dalton Entertainment for DJ. We chose not to have a planner, and with their recommendations, it made it far less daunting to plan. A lot of people said our DJ was the best they’ve ever heard at a wedding!

We also opted not to hire a separate Day-of or Month-of Coordinator since Haley and Sherwin basically filled these roles for us. I would recommend this to others if you have both your ceremony and reception at Sunset Terrace. Haley did a phenomenal job, and I don’t think separate day-of or month-of coordinators would’ve added much value, unless your wedding is highly complex in terms of off-site photo/getting ready elements.

Five star wedding experience! I had so much fun and wish I could live the day all over again!!

When choosing a February in NY for our wedding weekend, we knew we wanted to incorporate the outdoors somehow, which meant we needed a great view with floor to ceiling windows. We wanted a minimalist vibe, with a room that spoke for itself and didn't need much to make it perfect. Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers was exactly that. The exposed piping with twinkle lights, the wooden floors, the garage door windows, and most of all, the gorgeous view along the Hudson. Sunset Terrace even delivered on the sunset, which made our ceremony all the more beautiful. While it was too cold to open the garage doors, our guests enjoyed spending time outside taking pictures on the wrap around terrace. The vibe was perfect.

Throughout the planning process, Sherwin Johnson and Jamie Wohl were rockstars. They were quick to answer all questions, offered feedback and suggestions, and understood all that we were looking for. Our wedding ended up being on the higher end guest wise of what the venue can accommodate, yet Sherwin worked with us to make sure that all of our guests would be comfortable. We were worried that the cocktail hour would feel crowded, or that our guests would have to wait too long for food or drinks, but none of those fears came true. Everything was perfect and a week later, our guests are still raving about the space, the views, the food, etc. Thank you to Sherwin, Jamie, and the whole Sunset Terrace team for making our winter in NYC wedding exactly what we had hoped for.

Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers is truly a hidden gem. It had exactly what I was looking for in a venue: a cooler 'edgy' NYC feel, water views with outdoor access, an 'industrial' type space that didn't feel like a traditional ballroom but was also elegant enough to feel special.

Now let's talk about the value - the fact that the price of the venue includes Sherwin Johnson as your wedding coordinator is worth every penny. As a marketing and events professional myself, I was on the fence about spending on a wedding planner/ day-of coordinator and Sherwin reassured me that that would not be necessary. He was right. The white glove service I received from Sherwin and his team not only on the day of my wedding but in the months leading up to the date was invaluable. I felt confident in choosing this venue from the moment I met him at our first site visit. He answered every email, call and question right away and truly helped make the planning process less stressful from start to finish. I cannot say enough good things about Sherwin. He is professional, creative, thorough and will listen to all of your requests without making you feel judged, crazy or annoying. He is every brides DREAM coordinator. Trust me.

The food: Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. We opted for a non-traditional sit down dinner for our wedding and wanted more of a cocktail party vibe, and Creative Concepts delivered, and then some. They were able to work with us on some out-of-the-box options and enhancements like oyster shuckers and a live sushi bar who stayed on site for an extended period of time. The food was truly delicious and the presentation was immaculate.

I could go and on with this review and still could not find enough positive things to say about holding my wedding at the Sunset Terrace. If you are looking for an NYC venue that will leave your guests talking about how amazing your wedding was - book this place! Do not let the ice skating rink adjacency prevent you from holding your wedding here - It only adds to the magic.
