Eleanor Sent on 09/16/2024Best night of our lives!
We had our wedding celebration at Giando's in August and couldn't have had a better night. The views, drinks, food, and service were all fantastic, setting the scene for the best time for our 200+ guests. We didn't have a wedding planner and didn't need one. Joe and Liz were communicative and collaborative and helped us pull off everything we wanted and more. And the night-of team was so attentive and kind. We got lucky with perfect weather, but knew there was a good contingency plan in place because the banquet room upstairs felt special no matter what. Couldn't think of a better place for a party in Brooklyn. Wish we could do it all over again!! -

Lizzy Sent on 06/19/2024Dreamy venue for NYC Wedding
We had our dream NYC wedding at Giando on the Water! The location and the view is absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Joe, Liz and the team. We felt like family from our first meeting with the venue manager, Joe. He is easy to communicate with, and guided us with his experience with weddings and other events. His assistant Liz and the staff also put so much love and care into our wedding, and we cannot put into words how much that meant to us.
You cannot beat the location, view, and food at Giando on the Water. We would recommend to anyone planning a party or wedding to have... -

Alyssa Sent on 10/16/2019Our Beautiful October Wedding!
Thank you for everything! My husband and I got married on Sunday, October 13th, 2019 and it was amazing!!! Everything was completely smooth and perfect! We booked our wedding in January 2018 and Joe was a true professional and amazing to work with every single step of the way! We communicated a ton and it was not even a bother on either end. Elizabeth, was absolutely fantastic as well! She was amazing to work with and helped to make our vision come to life. The food was amazing! The cocktail hour was amazing! All of our guests can not stop talking about how much they ate at the cocktail hour because the food was so good that they had... -

Giando on the Water is the picture perfect setting for a wedding. The view is unbeatable and the price is great for the location and all you get with this venue. Joe is a great organizer and helps make your dream wedding a reality! Alex the maitre d' made sure everything went smoothly on the wedding day and kept the entire bridal party up on what came next. The cake is included which is delicious! The steak is HUGE and delicious and cooked to perfection. The H'ours douvres are perfect and thank God there is an indoor and outdoor area for the coctail hour with air conditing as well as a patio with a view of Manhattan. The venue... -

Stephanie Sent on 11/02/2018We loved our wedding reception!
We absolutely loved our wedding reception at Giando on the Water this past Saturday, 10/27/2018. It was a pleasure working with the manager, Joe Leone, throughout the wedding planning process. He was always so personable, professional, and responsive whenever I reached out to him with questions/concerns. Elizabeth, Joe’s assistant, was also incredibly helpful and sweet and did a fantastic job of setting up all of the decor that we brought in, according to my directions. Joe was detailed in explaining our contract and there were no last minute issues or surprises. Anytime we went to meet with him, we were greeted with a hug and offered a drink. Joe and his entire staff are true professionals who really understand... -

Nadia Sent on 07/23/2013We cant say enough about Giando. Our banquet manager, Joe, made our wedding planning so easy and seamless. The location was perfect, the food was great, the service was great, and our guests had a wonderful time. The view made the need for wedding decor minimal. Our maitre'd Michael was fantastic and took care of everything. Our attendant, Carmen, made sure that we were well hydrated and had a chance to eat throughout the day. The staff partnered really well with all our vendors and everything was smooth. Giando on the water truly is a gem in NYC -

Lisa Sent on 05/22/2012Giando on the Water was a wonderful place to get married. The location can't be beat and the food was AMAZING. It may not be the most inexpensive venue, but it is worth every cent. I highly recommend getting married here if you are looking for a true NY wedding experience :) -

Best Day Ever
We really did have a perfect wedding at Giando! Joe was wonderful to work with during planning -- always easily reachable, and very fair. Carmen and Alex were so attentive and wonderful day-of (Carmen even helped bustle my dress when my designated bridesmaid went MIA during cocktail hour!). We had a formal late February wedding, so we dimmed the chandeliers and let the spectacular view do the talking. OMG THE VIEW AT NIGHT I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. The value of venue, food (cake is included), and service is really incredible for New York City (reminder this was off-season, once the warm weather hits all bets are off). We really enjoyed the food, our guests raved particularly about the... -

Great Place for everyone to enjoy
We did have our Grandson Baptism at Giando. We were very happy with what we got. Great service and presentation, great and large portions of food and great scenic Manhattan view. -
