    Exceptional Service and Affordable pricing

    If we could give 10 stars we would! We visited 13 venues last year before we found and booked with The Water Club. We could not be happier with our decision. Sonya exceeded our expectations in what she did for us. she not only organized all of our vendors the day of, but made sure everything ran smoothly and reassured us before and on the day of our wedding. She provided guidance during our day to make sure everything ran smoothly. She made us feel calm and we were able to actually enjoy our entire wedding day because of her. Because of Sonya and all she did for us, we did not need a wedding planner. She was reliable and dependable and thorough. she made us her priority not only the day of, but throughout all of the planning and leading up to our big day. From our Maitre'd Domingo and Captain Jose, to the staff, valet, room attendant and coat check, everyone was so professional, welcoming and hard working every minute of our special day. They are affordable and worked with our budget. Everything we wanted or asked for through out the planning was always met with a yes or "we can make that happen". We never expected to be so accommodated and made feel so special as we were our wedding night, and only wish we could relive this day every day! We owe all of this to this very special place and the special people who run The Water Club. We captured the most spectacular views of the east side of Manhattan and river in our photos and video, as this venue is right on the east river! the food exceeded our expectations and our guests cannot stop raving about it! No one had to wait for a drink all night, as the service and attention to not only us but our guests was impeccable. In our opinion, there is NO BETTER place to have the wedding of your dreams than at The Water Club. They truly provided everything needed from start to finish to make our day the most special day of our lives. Thank you all!

    Couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue for my wedding!

    I realize this review is a bit late, but I feel compelled to still write it because of the amazing experience we had with The Water Club. I first connected with Alyson at The Water Club in September of 2018 and booked my wedding for May of 2020. Our wedding was postponed not once, but twice due to COVID – as we tried moving it to May of 2021 but with the continued uncertainty, moved it again to October of 2021. Through it all Alyson was a phenomenal ally! From the moment we met I knew our wedding was in great hands. She is knowledgeable, thorough, supportive, and an all-around fabulous person! In March of 2020, there were so many unknowns but despite that, Alyson still came to us with viable options and scenarios for how we could proceed. Both times we postponed our wedding, the process was seamless, and we are so grateful for that. Alyson gave us peace of mind and made sure we knew that she and The Water Club was in this with us and would do whatever they could to help. She checked in regularly with updates and answered our mountain of questions as the circumstances of the pandemic continued to evolve. When it finally became clear that we could proceed with our wedding in October, Alyson and introduced us to Sonya – an absolute rockstar – to handle the final arrangements and help coordinate for the day of. These two ladies are a powerhouse team, they attended to anything and everything we could possibly want or need! From managing our vendors to coordinating vaccination verification to keeping track of everything (and I mean everything!) they made sure our day was the most special and memorable event! I loved having Sonya by my side on the day. She is diligent, funny, and ready for anything. The Water Club’s staff was incredible! The maître d' Diego was wonderful! One of my bridesmaids broke her ankle 2 weeks before the wedding and had to use a scooter and crutches to get around. Diego made sure she was taken care of, could easily get around, and had access to storage for her scooter and crutches. He was on top of everything! Many of our guests commented on what an awesome job he was doing throughout the wedding. And the food, THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!! There wasn’t a single complaint, not even a slight grumble, about the food from any of our guests. Every dish from the hours de vours to the desserts was mind-blowing!! Our wedding was perfect and worth every second of the 3 years we had to wait to finally have it! The Water Club made that happen.

    Absolutely Perfect

    If you're getting married in NYC, book The Water Club as soon as you can! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Our wedding there in May was better than we could have dreamed. The space is beautiful, and having the entire event surrounded by river views is unbeatable - even more magical at night with the lights on the water. Alyson and Sonya helped guide us through the planning process and are absolute pros. They are really fun to work with and take care of everything. The entire Water Club team made the night seamless - as soon as we walked into the event we didn't have to think about a thing. Plus the food is AMAZING! Our guests haven't stopped raving about the space, the staff, and the food. It's a New York classic for a reason!
