Wedding breakfast experience for elopement’s

Our wedding breakfast afternoon tea was amazing and the kindness that was shown by all the staff was amazing and just topped off an already amazing day. Can’t wait to come back to celebrate anniversaries.

The Plaza was a fairy tale wedding dream come true. The staff was incredible. Steve Rice and his team made sure every detail ran smoothly and the guests were happy.

The Plaza Hotel was the dream venue for my dream wedding. The service and attention to detail was top-notch. The classic Manhattan landmark lived up to and exceeded its reputation as the go-to wedding venue. I would recommend this venue to any bride-to-be.

With five months to go until our wedding, our venue shut down without telling anyone. Luckily, we were somehow able to secure the Terrace Room at The Plaza and could not be happier with how things worked out. The room was beautiful and the staff were beyond professional. While we had some frustration securing early check-in for rooms to get ready in during the day of, the hotel ended up providing us with two meeting rooms that worked out very well. More importantly, every single aspect of our wedding night ran more smoothly than we ever imagined possible. The night went seamlessly and we feel very lucky to have had our wedding here!

Awful for wedding, wonderful if not contracted

This was a nightmare. Starting 3 months before our stay they started stressing me out by changing what we were allowed to do. I understand policy changes but contracts that existed before should be grandfathered. Then the week of my wedding they came to me with more problems and only solution offered was to cancel my whole room block the week of my wedding. I cried a lot over this vendor to say the least. Day of check in, our rooms were not ready so the front desk man gave me another room to get ready in (came in from out of state and needed to get ready for rehearsal). That was great. I had tea and that was amazing and the service was lovely. Then day of my wedding, they kicked my now husband out of his suite at noon (where we planned to do our first look) even though our contract clearly stated we had a late checkout of 3pm. Then they did not do a turn down service - room switching the night of my wedding so hubby and I would have a privet room and when we got in they did not change the sheets or make the bed from the night before even though it was requested and again reiterated at check in that this would need to be done and we watched him note it again. We also did not get an “amenity” (in my written contract that we would) the night of my wedding either. I ended up giving that room back to who slept there the night before and the groom and I slept in the suite with my parents, and some others from my wedding party. It was a nightmare as soon as they got my downpayment they came to me with problems. Now over a month after we stayed there I got a 1500$ charge on my credit card (not used for incidentals only the down and final payments of the rooms) and they can’t even tell me why they are charging me but won’t remove it either. HEADACHES BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER our stay there for my wedding. All brides heed my warning, DO NOT STAY HERE THE NIGHT OF YOUR WEDDING. Also you are no longer allowed to take photos in their public spaces including the beautiful staircases everywhere which was specifically why we chose the plaza. We had security called as we walked down the stair case on our way to the trolley waiting outside. No joke, we were even standing posed just walked down the staircase and security was called. I had expected the hotel to be one vendor I didn’t have trouble with and they turned out to be by far the worst part of my whole wedding weekend.
