We had an amazing experience at Terrace on the Park! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. A special thank you to Mildred (banquet manager), Abrahim (maître d’), and Ashley (bridal attendant) for going above and beyond to make our day run smoothly. The only small hiccup was that one of our centerpieces was damaged beyond repair after the event, but aside from that, everything was flawless. Tip to the bride/groom, be sure to pack up some of the food you are served because it’s so much and we didn’t get a chance to enjoy! Wish I would have thought about that because the staff clear the space quick! Overall, I absolutely loved this venue and the team. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely book a future event here!

When we originally booked Vesper was still under construction and there were definitely concerns!! I'm glad to say Joe and the team delivered on all their promises..the food was exceptional , the service was right on point and the room speaks for itself. You will not find a better venue if this is what you're looking for..the planning team will walk you thru the entire process and you do not need a wedding planner!! Joe is a pro!! Thanks Team Vesper..

Recently, I attended an event at this vegan, eco-conscious venue, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The space itself is both modern and inviting, with thoughtful touches that reflect its commitment to sustainability. The courtyard was the highlight—an intimate yet spacious area with a lively bar that made for the perfect gathering spot. The craft cocktails were outstanding, each one creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. The bartenders clearly take pride in their work and offer thoughtful recommendations. Service throughout the event was top-notch: attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely warm.

We recently had our wedding at Russo’s On The Bay, and it was truly the most magical and unforgettable day of our lives. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew we were in good hands — and Russo’s exceeded every expectation we had. First and foremost, the venue itself is stunning. Located right on the water in Howard Beach, it offers an elegant and romantic setting with gorgeous views, especially at sunset. The indoor spaces are just as impressive — from the luxurious bridal suite to the crystal chandeliers and beautifully maintained ballrooms, everything radiates class and sophistication. But what really sets Russo’s apart is the service. The staff was impeccable. Joe Vacca was relentless on making sure us and our guests had a great time. Our maître d’ and bridal attendant were incredibly attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt relaxed and pampered the entire day. Every detail was executed perfectly — from the timing of the ceremony to the flow of the reception. The food was outstanding. The cocktail hour was nothing short of legendary. Our guests are still raving about the variety, quality, and sheer abundance of options, The dinner was equally delicious and beautifully plated. Russo’s doesn’t just serve a meal — they create an experience. Planning with Russo’s was also seamless. Jennifer was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. We felt supported and heard from day one, and that made all the difference. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, world-class service, and amazing food, Russo’s On The Bay is it. They helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect, and we’re so grateful for the memories they helped us create. Highly, highly recommended!

Overall, the day went very smoothly! If we did have any issues, staff were very attentive and quick to help or adjust as needed. Thank you to Matt, Jackie, and Jen especially! The venue spaces and beautiful and malleable to any theme you’d need. Food is delicious and variable. I think mg only ask would be to keep everyone informed. My husband missed the chance to get certain photos due to miscommunications. But besides that everything was smooth.

Greetings, I am Rohan Williamson, and I am providing feedback regarding my prior photo shoot at this stunning and elegant location! As a top model, it is very important to have your photo shoot in a stylish, open-air setting where you can connect with the photographer and express your inner self. When I went to my first casting for Presage Magazine, I was immediately drawn to this location. Their Team goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and provide excellent service, they are not just for money, to them you're like family even though the'er running a business. Take my word for it to do a photoshoot or weddings, events etc for their rate, You won't be disappointed. This location is ideal for Astoria because it is close to Manhattan, and I am excited for my upcoming shoot and other events there.a. You will thank Muah later 🫶🏾

The ceremony was at the Gazebo by the water. The bride was a little late getting ready but the staff made it work. Cocktail hour had amazing food and all the activities we had for guests, like cornhole, were set up, and then moved to the reception area. Food was great and staff was very attentive and helpful.

Hands down the best experience

We had our rehearsal dinner for 80+ people at the Neptune Room at Radio Star, and it was perfect. The entire night felt like one big dinner party, which was exactly the vibe we were hoping for. The food was incredible, the service was on point, and the desserts at the end felt endless. Emily was great to work with in the lead-up and made the planning process easy and stress-free. On the night of, her team was attentive, warm, and on top of everything. And bonus points to Emily for stepping in to help fix my wife’s dress! Highly recommend Emily and the Neptune Room!

AND BOOK 501 UNION RIGHT NOW!!! 501 Union was the perfect venue for our wedding. We absolutely fell in love with the space; it's beautiful even without any decorations. The package was comprehensive and way better than a lot of other venues we looked at. The value you get for this space is amazing. From the moment we first reached out, the team's communication was prompt, enthusiastic, and warm. Our venue coordinator changed during the process but the transition to our new coordinator was completely smooth and nothing was lost. Andrea and the staff were so on top of everything; they went above and beyond to ensure the space was gorgeous, clean, and perfectly set up. We were blown away by the space the day of and how accommodating the team was with all of our requests. They seriously could not have made the space any more inviting and welcoming. We are SO grateful to 501 Union for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed of. Thank you!!!!!
