AMAZING venue - highly recommend for city couples
You can't begin to imagine how unique and special our wedding celebration was due to the folks at Norwood. Nowhere in NYC (or arguably any other city -- we looked) will you find such a cool, hip, different venue. All of our guests commented on every detail, and more importantly, had a blast dancing late into the night. Food was delicious. The in-house events coordinator, Rachelle, is a total pro who has been doing this for years. She is quite connected, and creative. Her team took note of every detail. I was so pleased that we have held other events there as well. Recommend without reservation for any couple looking for something unusual, interesting, and FUN. -

A beautiful unique venue. Working with Rachelle was super easy--and it was a great perk to have the event planning handled in house with no extra expense needed for a day-of planner. -

We had the most wonderful and magical wedding reception experience at Norwood. Everything went impeccably smooth, from the planning to execution. Rachelle Koser was an absolute pleasure to work with and is super knowledgeable about how to run a reception. The staff was amazing; our guests kept commenting on how fun they were and how they really contributed to the joyful atmosphere of the evening. The food was outstanding, super tasty and unique dishes that accommodated all diets. Norwood Club is set in a beautiful, historic brownstone and is decorated with an eclectic and ever-changing mix of modern art. We loved the decor so much, we only needed to provide floral arrangements; this freed up a major portion of the wedding reception planning process on our end and made for some epic pictures. They have the kitchen in the building and handle all food and clean up/ tear down services which made the experience completely effortless on our part. The club has multiple floors, so we were able to divide the party up into pre-dinner cocktails, dinner, and then dance party. This allowed us to change up the vibe throughout the night and made for seamless transitions. Our friends are still telling us this was the best wedding venue to which they had ever been. We cannot recommend Rachelle Koser, the rest of the Norwood team, and the Norwood Club venue enough!! Best wedding reception experience!!!-

Our experience was amazing from the planning to the actual wedding day. Norwood was very intimate and perfect in every way; the team is incredible. Our family and friends are still raving about what they experienced during our wedding and reception. Everyone loved the vibe, art, food, staff, and overall charm of the Norwood.-

From start to finish, our experience with Norwood was top-rate. As native New Yorkers, we never dreamed we would be able to afford a city wedding party with outdoor space!! Event planner Rachelle, who is so charming and professional, definitely worked on every detail to help us realize the wedding party we hoped for. She was prompt with email replies and available for any question, no matter how small. Our menu tasting was a delight, and the chef accommodated our input (which my chef husband especially appreciated) which really made us feel listened to and actively part of the party--we never once felt like a nuisance or like we were getting a cookie-cutter event. Even the fact that the Norwood Club has its own art on display (including lovely lanterns in the trees out back and elegant furniture in the front room where our older guests could relax) meant that we had a unique and effortless environment without the irritation of choosing napkin colors or worrying about whether the chairs would arrive. I can't express our thanks enough to the whole team. The club was even flexible when we wound up running a little late coming back from the venue. We really felt so grateful for all the little details--for example one of the servers saw my husband didn't get any of the circulated oysters and made sure she brought him a whole tray for himself. When the bartender refused to pour me a champagne when our open bar had literally just ended (in spite of the fact that I was the one in the lacy white dress!) Camille attentively and quietly went over and got me a new glass, apologizing on the bartender's behalf. At each step of the way, Rachelle and Camille really ensured that we were treated like royalty. I couldn't have been happier with the decor, environment, and care provided by the Norwood Club. We highly, highly recommend the Norwood Club!-

My husband and I had our cocktail hour and wedding reception at Norwood, along with a private Korean wedding ceremony in the top floor screening room. Rachelle and the team at Norwood were such a pleasure to work with. Rachelle was super accommodating, especially with a last minute booking of the screening room when it was close to the wedding date. Her team operates with a great amount of flexibility and are willing to adapt as you go as plans change and evolve. They also made some on-the-fly decisions the day of when it came to setting up the decorations and florals that we brought in, which made everything look even better than I could have planned for. I felt like they were on our side to make sure that our wedding event was perfect. They coordinated with our other vendors without a hitch, let us stop by to view the space again and again at any time, and kept the ongoing communication (over the span of a year) fluid and transparent. Aside from the amazing team, the space itself is beautiful and makes the perfect setting to any event that requires special attention. On top of that, their menu is delicious and we loved every single thing we tried (and so did our guests). Some extra benefits in planning your event with Norwood: they have a roster of DJs you can book, they design and print place cards, seating charts, and the dinner menu. They make event planning easy. Absolutely no regrets in choosing Norwood for our wedding reception. I could not recommend Norwood enough! -

Everything about Norwood, from the venue to the staff, has always been excellent. I had been a member for a few years and they really make you feel at home. We had our wedding over Thanksgiving weekend and wanted to make that a theme, and they went above and beyond to make our rehearsal dinner a full blown family style Thanksgiving dinner! I could not recommend it more. -

I couldn't be happier with my experience. My guests were also very impressed. At Norwood, you are not just another wedding or another check, but they treat you as if you are their kin.-

Rachelle and the entire team at Norwood created an unforgettable wedding last August for me and my husband, Sophian.
Down to every last detail; including making sure we left with all our mementos at 3am, Norwood Excels at creating a unique, intimate, elegant moment in time. The space photographs beautifully as well. -

We hosted an 80-person wedding after-party at the Norwood during the holiday season, on Dec. 30, 2016. It was absolutely perfect in every way. The Norwood team members were all incredibly friendly, helpful and responsive, and working with them was a completely seamless process from beginning to end. The venue is so unique and beautiful, in addition to being stunningly affordable compared to other options in the city. Couldn't recommend the Norwood more highly for private events. -

The ideal location for an intimate and elegant wedding in the city. Beautiful decor and impeccable service. Food was exceptional and a great value compared to other Manhattan venues. Wedding planning was made very easy as they take care of almost all of the details. I highly recommend Norwood (so much so that we joined the club after getting married there)!-

This exclusive membership-based club primarily for people in the art world is the hippest venue in NYC. They are open to host weddings for non-members though. Located in the prime location in Manhattan, the venue has high-end, interesting pieces of art work and furniture which makes wedding photos look very cool at every angle. No words can explain the atmosphere of this place, so please refer to my wedding photos. The space is both modern and classically romantic at the same time.
The service and communication was more than what I could expect for. The DJ and food was fantastic. They are very flexible with your vision of decoration and how you want your special night to plan out.
I have looked at most of the well-known, small and big wedding venues in Brooklyn, Long Island City and various hotels in Manhattan, and I can say with utmost confidence that Norwood is definitely the hippest choice. I am always looking for opportunities to host private parties here now.-

The team at Norwood, made it effortless for us. The prep, pre-event menu tasting, and general coordination was outstanding -even down to going above and beyond to source specific items/decorations, and menu supplies for us. On the day itself, everything was perfect. The team had everyone's needs in hand, and helped facilitate anything that we needed as it happened. They we attentive, caring, and fun. The club oozes charm, friendliness, and positivity -which came across in the reception and multiple spaces we had opted for, with fun-loving and sessional staff. The entire experience was out of this world, and a venue I would highly recommend. -

Norwood is one of my favorite places...even if I were not a member I would still love it. Beautiful space, very organized, fun atmosphere. I had my wedding there in August and the event was so wonderful! Rachelle had a lot of ideas about how to develop the event and make the evening special. The food and cocktails were great. I had a lot of friends compliment me on such a fun event.

We had our wedding reception at the Norwood. It was wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. We got so many compliments on the venue. We didn't want the standard wedding factory reception hall for our wedding reception, so Norwood was perfect for us. The food was excellent also. Rachelle, the event planner, did an amazing job with us. She was so patient and answered all our questions and provided great suggestions based on other events and was accomodating of all things we requested. -

The event people at Norwood are the best. Having put on many events myself, it was great to work with people who were as expert in it as I was.
A big plus is that they are the nicest people ever! I highly suggest using their list of approved vendors, as they hooked us up with an amazing florist. And while I had already lined up a photographer and DJ the staff worked seamlessly with them as well.
But best of all, Rachelle and Camille made sure that my husband and I had fun on our wedding day, fielding all questions, running interference with the inevitable rowdy guests and in general being two steps ahead of me the day of.
The best illustration of that is when they worked with my DJ to time the processional music down to the exact beat when we walked down the aisle!-- then did it again when we walked back out! -

I have had drinks with friends here a few times but this was my first event. We started with a private dinner that was DELICIOUS. Then, once we finished, a manager invited us to head upstairs to dance as they had a DJ on the upper floor. The staff was extremely accommodating and gracious and all of my friends had a great time. Definitely a birthday to remember. :) -

We thought that Norwood surpassed our high expectations. They really went the extra mile for our guests and made everyone feel at home. We were able to Bring in our own floral, and they were kind enough to print our custom programs/menus for us and have them set up. They were great about checking in on us to make sure we were doing ok. This is the 2nd "big" life event we hosted at Norwood, the first being my husband's 40th which we did in the Screening room. It was amazing as well. Great value too--we looked at other venues, and Norwood was the best value. Since I am an event producer, it was a relief that I didnt have to worry about any of the details on my own wedding day. -

We planned our celebration on very short notice. Norwood was incredibly responsive and worked with us, actively, to make sure we would be happy. And we are. The team is excellent, thoughtful, and took care of things without us even being aware of an issue. And the space is just wonderful. Quirky, but wonderful. -

This was exactly the wedding I wanted! Intimate yet fun, tasteful, unique and stylish. The food and drinks where amazing. As a bride I was thrilled to select Norwood and then just relax !
Only negative: the sound system on the 3rd floor was a little loud for the non dancers, but otherwise everything was perfect!-

I had a graduation party for ~100 guests on the main floor, and I got countless compliments from my guests on how gorgeous this space is. It's truly something special, and made for a memorable occasion. All members of the staff were top-notch, from Rachelle (the event planner) to the excellent bartender and cocktail servers. It may be on the pricey side, but it was absolutely worth it! -

Overall, a lovely event and we love the Norwood! A few notes:
-The fact that all of the lights need to be turned off individually, while it seems minor, really makes the beginning of the event a bit rocky and unprofessional.
-We wished that there had been a few more chairs available and that the event had been set-up a bit farther in advance. -
