This venue checked every single box. Everyone was incredibly attentive, flexible, caring and patient with us. The food was amazing, the recommended vendors were all fantastic, and everyone was amazing to work with.

We had the PERFECT wedding at the Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers! Tucked away behind the Sky Rink of Chelsea Piers 61, Sunset Terrace has one of the most romantic views of the Hudson River in NYC. and proved to be an elegant setting for an unforgettable night. The food was incredible and the staff did a great job of anticipating our needs in the moment. Sherwin Johnson and Haley Podimsky in particular made us feel like we were in very capable hands throughout the entire experience and they went above and beyond to meet our expectations. When we told them something that we would like, they would work with us to make it happen. They even helped set up our chuppah before the ceremony! The all inclusive package was a dream since we didn't have to deal with any vendors. The only people we had to find ourselves was our photographer and DJ. On top of all that, the pricing was extremely competitive, which allowed us to have our dream wedding in New York CIty. We were even able to be under budget. We STILL have family members talking about how wonderful the night was nearly a year later! We originally were concerned that you had to walk past the Sky Rink to get to the venue, but once we entered the actual space it quickly faded into the background. We barely noticed it on the night, even WITH a game taking place on the ice. It sort of gave a cool, secret speakeasy vibe. We cannot recommend Sunset Terrace enough! If you are looking for a beautiful waterfront wedding in New York City, you can’t do much better than this!

We got married June 2025 and have nothing but the most wonderful things to say about Houston Hall. Get married there!!! We had 150 folks comfortably, and did the ceremony and reception all under the same roof. Carlita and her team helped make the space uniquely ours, working alongside us every step of the way, recommending set up, working through menu and a timeline for the day. All was seamless. Our hope was to transform the space into a sort of secret garden in the city and throw a big party, and it exceeded our expectations. I can’t tell you how beautiful the room was, how cozy and intimate it felt. And the food was delicious, served family style. If you’re looking for an upscale restaurant-style cozy wedding with space for a killer dance party, this is your venue. With 150 people for seated dinner and dancefloor, we still had space for an espresso bar, little couch lounge area and a photo booth. For the ceremony, we had 100 people seated and the rest stood. It was perfect, we felt the love. I remember being particularly worried about the flipping of the room/chairs at the start of the cocktail hour and I can assure you, it was easy and not at all disruptive - no more than 5 minutes and no one even noticed as they were getting drinks at the stunning huge bar and tasting passed apps and chatting. We also had musicians play just during cocktail hour which fit in the space as well! I also have to shoutout Chris and his team at Party Up Productions/Decco for the chairs, lighting, lanterns and furniture. They regularly work with Houston Hall and were a joy to work with to transform the room. Also noting we didn’t use a wedding planner, no need with Carlita and her team, which was wildly helpful with budget. I’ve shared all our vendor info below. Happy to answer any questions!!

Gotham hall - a dramatic venue . They did not disappoint. Everything was great. The food even made it to the table hot considering there were over 200 guests.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our venue choice for our wedding day back in December 2019. Edison Ballroom has that old New York flair and a certain "je ne sais quoi" - it's not your typical wedding venue or ballroom AT ALL. Alexa Volpe was our coordinator and she was responsive and helpful from the start, no matter how many e-mails went back and forth between us. We ended up doing a 3-hour afterparty within the venue as well, which was convenient for guests and doable for the space since they are able to stay open & serve alcohol well into the early hours of the morning. The value we received at Edison Ballroom was unsurpassed. Their packages allow for so much food and drink, and the quality of their menu offering is delicious. Many of our guests told us that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Others told us that the space itself was so different than any other wedding they've attended and that it was truly unique. For my husband and I, it very much suited our aesthetic and the kind of wedding reception we envisioned for ourselves. We genuinely loved every moment of our night. So if you're looking for a something different in the heart of Manhattan, with delicious food, great staff, and the ability to keep your guests partying on the premises until 4am, this is the venue for you.

My husband and I had our wedding at Faculty House this past weekend. Faculty House is a stunning venue, right on the Columbia University Campus. Emerald, the Assist. General Manager, was amazing to work with and so organized. She was incredibly helpful in determining the event timeline, coordinating with the all vendors, and ensuring that every step went smoothly. The other staff who helped out that day were such professionals and provided wonderful service. I highly recommend - you will not be disappointed!

John at 320 Studios could not have been more accommodating. he seemed genuinely excited for us and went out of his way to help handle deliveries and pick-ups. The space is beautiful - give yourself some time to make is unique to your event, though, since it's raw space. If you want to create a wedding that's all your vision, definitely check them out.

People cannot stop talking about how beautiful our reception was. The cocktail hour was out on the terrace with views of the city. The room has floor to ceiling windows looking out towards the 59th Street bridge. The food was fantastic and service superb. I would highly recommend a wedding here. It was a night for everyone to remember.

First of all, my husband and I got married here this past August 24th. We had our DREAM wedding thanks to Cipriani 25. Our guests were FLOORED by the venue it was absolutely breathtaking! I wouldn’t have chosen any other venue, Cipriani is the absolute best. The staff is so incredibly professional and helpful. We have to say that Cheryl Brocco is an angel. She went above and beyond for our wedding!! Her and Briccio Pita were god-sent. They made sure our night went perfectly to plan. They truly went above and beyond for us. Cheryl is such a pleasure to work with she is extremely organized and on top of every little thing! Thank you so much to Cheryl and the Cipriani team. Thanks to you we had our dream wedding that our guests will be talking about for a lifetime!

In love with our wedding venue! We stumbled upon SECOND after paying a site visit to the ballroom at the Eventi Hotel next door. It was honestly everything we were looking for but hadn't found yet, making the venue maybe one of NYC's wedding best kept secrets. It was the perfect, unique mix of industrial/rustic/modern for us and in a perfect location, as many people were flying in from out of town. (Herald square isn't the chicest of NYC neighborhoods, but being near Penn Station and staying at the Eventi was great for our guests.) We started with Julie, who, sad for us, left in the earlier stages of planning. After a Covid postponement, Kevi and Joe picked up where Julie left off and were so wonderful to work with, addressing every single last email/phone question we had. They were knowledgeable (I'm pretty sure Joe knew more than I did re: some of the details of a Jewish wedding) and dedicated to making our wedding day seamless. We also had some last-minute Covid cancellations and they were super understanding and accommodating. What's also so special about this venue is the food! IT. IS. SO. GOOD. From the tasting to the wedding day, which is rare for wedding food! The presentation of each and every bit was pristine as was the flavor. Guests raved about their meals, which, again, is quite rare at a wedding when serving a large group! Great space. Great food. Great people. 11/10!
