Amazing Spring Wedding at the Terrace

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!!

We worked with Jennifer Walsh at the Sunset Terrace and she was phenomenal. From start to finish (over the last year and a half), she provided quick, helpful responses over both email and phone and was super accommodating. We were constantly blown away and impressed. The Sunset Terrace itself is a beautiful and extremely affordable venue for the city and we were really grateful with how much they were able to provide for us with regard to decor, set-up/break-down, and catering. The food is from Neuman's Kitchen and it was unreal, as were the cocktails. They even made special changes just for us based on our requests. Jennifer is experienced with creating detailed itineraries for the day and knew what would "flow" best for the evening. She also provided us with helpful recommendations for other vendors to use and reassured us when we were hit with the unexpected (e.g., knowing which vendors tend to be more creative/less detail oriented but not to be worried about that). I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her and the venue in general.

I would recommend this venue to EVERYONE. Lauren McCourt is so amazing! She answered each and every one of my emails, from big questions to very small ones. She did everything we asked and I wasn't nervous or stressed from the second we got there until the end of the night. The space was AMAZING. The lights at night twinkling over the river was just perfect. Everyone kept talking about it and how it was the fanciest wedding they have ever been to. We can't say enough about Lauren, she is so professional, efficient and quick to respond, I couldn't have done it all without her! I recommend Chelsea Piers Sunset Terrace to everyone wanting an amazing NYC wedding for an affordable price.
