Historic Wedding Venues in NYC

NYC historic wedding venues are ideal for couples who want to host an event in a truly unique space with abundant charm. Whether it’s a historic home, a vintage-style ballroom, or a treasured landmark in your favorite NYC neighborhood, there are plenty of venues in every style to host a wedding in NYC. You can even tailor your wedding theme to match the venue’s history – making your Big Day all the more special.

Options for Historic Wedding Venues in NYC

Planning your NYC historic wedding starts with the right venue. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of options available. Historic homes are often considered the most welcoming – offering the potential for different spaces for cocktail hour, dining, and after-dinner entertainment. These sites throughout the NYC boroughs also typically offer beautiful grounds for wedding photos or an outdoor ceremony in favorable weather.

Grand halls or hotels, on the other hand, radiate opulent splendor – with crystal chandeliers, royal service, and lavish ballrooms that will make your wedding guests’ jaws drop. Many include in-house wedding planners and catering options, making event coordination a breeze.

There’s also the option to choose a historic landmark for your wedding site. With the region’s incredibly rich history, there is no shortage of gorgeous buildings, parks, museums, and other exciting venues in which to hold your historic wedding in NYC. Whichever historic venue in NYC you ultimately select for your nuptials, your guests will thank you for the experience of such a memorable day.

NYC Historic Weddings: Discovering Your Theme

History buffs will love the challenge of coordinating a wedding to match a venue’s historical attributes. For example, you might opt to wear a vintage lace wedding gown with heirloom jewelry. Floral choices might involve cascading wedding bouquets filled with classic roses, along with table centerpieces arranged in crystal glasses or classic vases. Even your wedding cake can be draped with strings of pearls or gems. Dine on gold-trimmed china, decorate with antique table cloths, lanterns and pillars, and use a variety of candles to promote pre-electric lighting from simpler times. All of these details will add to the charming ambiance of your historic wedding in NYC.

Finally, don’t forget about wedding transportation – wouldn’t it be fantastic to arrive via antique car or on the back of a vintage Vespa?
