Phoebe Sent on 04/02/2024Most Wonderful Experience with Ravel Events!
My husband and I had the most wonderful experience with Ravel Events! Our event coordinators, Eman and Chelsey, were so helpful from the very start and really made the entire wedding planning process so much less stressful. The venue is also beautiful - we had our reception in the Penthouse, and we were so wowed by the amazing view of Manhattan. The food was also amazing; we got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the food was. And on top of everything else, the staff were fantastic! My husband and I are so indebted to our wonderful bridal attendant for looking after us and making sure we were actually able to enjoy our own wedding. All in all, I would highly, highly recommend having your event with the Ravel Hotel - they are amazing at what they do! -

From our first tour of the Ravel we knew it was the perfect venue for our celebration and we couldn't be happier with our decision to get married there. Having one venue for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and a hotel for all our guests made planning substantially easier and the night so much more enjoyable for everyone. The entire staff of the Ravel are incredibly professional, going above and beyond in every aspect of the planning and execution, making this such a special event. Eman surpassed all of our expectations and coordinated every single detail perfectly to ensure a flawless day we'll never forget. She was such integral part of all planning & decisions; she helped guide us along every step of lighting, florals, food, décor, etc.
The day of, our bridal attendant, Jadelyn, was a lovely calming presence that every bride needs on her wedding day. She anticipated every one of our needs, making sure we were fed, happy and knew exactly when to take a breath and appreciate the day.
Our guests raved about everything. The views of the Manhattan skyline during cocktail hour, the food being without question the best they've ever had at a wedding, and the stunning ballroom decorated immaculately to our vision. So many of our guests commented that it was the most spectacular wedding they had ever attended. The rooms at the Ravel were also perfect, especially the bridal suite, where we got some of the best pictures on the balconies overlooking the skyline. It was truly the best day of our lives, and we cannot thank everyone at the Ravel for making our dreams come true!

Best Night of Our Lives
Before getting married at the Ravel, my husband planned the most perfect engagement on the roof of the venue with the help of Eman. We loved the venue and working with Eman so much that we decided to book our wedding there as well in September of 2023. Words cannot even begin to explain how happy we are with this decision.
Because of Eman, Jadelyn and the amazing team at the Ravel, our wedding was truly the best day of our lives. The team executed perfectly on turning our vision into a reality and we were absolutely blown away by how smoothly everything ran on the day of. We had always planned to get married on the roof because of the spectacular views that it offers, but due to some rain in the forecast, we ultimately decided to get married in the foyer. While this was not part of our initial plan, the foyer helped promote an intimate setting that created a beautiful ceremony. Following the ceremony, our guests were seamlessly transported up to the penthouse for the cocktail hour where they were greeted with stunning views of the Queensboro bridge and Manhattan landscape. It was truly a dream come true. To this day, our guests cannot stop raving about how GREAT the food was – especially the sushi bar! Multiple stations offered a wide variety of options and the staff worked extremely efficiently to minimize wait times. Following the cocktail hour, guests were again seamlessly transported back down to the ballroom for the reception. The ballroom would not have looked the way it did without the help of Eman throughout the entire process. She provided us with trustworthy vendors to make sure that our vision came to life, and everything was executed perfectly. From the florals to the table layouts and the placement of the dance floor we were able to easily fit our 225 guests. We could not have planned this night without the help of Eman and the entire team at the Ravel. Jadelyn, our bridal attendant, went above and beyond to make sure everything was running on time and that all of our needs were met throughout the day and night.
While this review is long, it doesn’t even begin to describe how grateful we are for the team at the Ravel. We cannot recommend the venue enough and we are hoping that one of our friends books their wedding here so that we can attend another one (as a guest this time!). Thanks again to Eman and the team!!

Ravel Events is such a fabulous venue with stunning rooftop views. Our dream wedding truly came to life at Ravel and we are so happy with how everything turned out.
The service from Eman and her entire team (Tracy, Betsy & Jadelyn) completely blew away our expectations.
Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how much they loved the food!
We would recommend this venue for any events. Special thanks to Eman for making our dream a reality. -

Highly recommended venue and team!
My partner and I were absolutely amazed with our wedding. We spent the honeymoon discussing all the things we thought went right or what we would do differently, and the venue and Ravel team was 100% in the what went right column.
Eman was our great wedding coordinator and was there through the whole process as well as on-site the day of the wedding.
The team: Eman, Tracy, Jadelyn, Betsy, and the whole team were great to work with, flexible up until the day of and very helpful on calls with our vendors, many of whom had not worked at the venue before. Once the day was in motion everything was seamless - the team was continuously calm, professional, and helpful.
Venue: We visited 9 venues before choosing this one. The site was beautiful on a summer evening with a sweeping view of the Manhattan night. Three distinct spaces (for us the rooftop, observation deck, and penthouse) for ceremony, cocktail, and reception allowed the guests to flow through and experience the wedding. The team of course is very experienced with the space and had plans for city sound, wind, summer heat, and inclement weather backups.
Organization: Ravel has the timing of their weddings down - they recommended us taking photos before the wedding itself, allowing us to spend almost all the time with our guests instead of being caught up with portraits. The team worked with us to accommodate our flow of the ceremony and reception.
The food: the food the night of was even better than the tasting, and we heard many good things from our guests, including “best wedding food I’ve had” and “better than [famous NY steakhouse which will not be named]”. The team worked with us to select personalized cocktails which fit our styles and were flexible in meeting the drink requests of our guests.
Notes: Some things to consider when picking this venue:
The florals don’t have to be 8ft high and covering the space. We went with a simpler look which we thought worked best for us. -

Ritika Sent on 05/27/2023The best NYC wedding venue
There isn’t enough stars in this review that could express how happy we are that we picked Ravel. Choosing Ravel as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have ever made. Starting from the venue itself, location, food, entire staff (Eman, Jadelyn, Steven, Betsy) and just overall coordination. It was pure perfection. We could not be happier with the outcome. Our wedding was more than what we could have ever imagined and it’s all thanks to the incredible team at Ravel. All of our guests were raving about the venue and said it was the nicest venue they have ever seen. They were also blown away by the food and just overall flow of the event. The ceremony, reception and cocktail hour was absolutely incredible and we wouldn’t change a thing.
We also wanted to specifically shout out Eman because without her our wedding would not have turned out as perfect as it was. We met Eman during our venue search and she helped us throughout the decision making process and once we signed on she was part of every important decision - whether it was picking a vendor or how we should structure our florals and decor or just overall flow of the event. She also went above and beyond and we really felt like she was as invested in our wedding as we were. She had so many ideas that we could have never thought of which added so much to our day. She executed everything perfectly and we couldn’t be more grateful that we crossed paths with her during such an important part of our lives!
If you are looking for the perfect NYC wedding location - Ravel is the absolute best there is! -

Lauren Sent on 05/10/2023The most perfect wedding day!
When people say, where do I even begin, my parents, my husband and myself truly mean this. We started working with Eman in April of 2022 and after our site visit and meeting Eman in person, we knew this was the space, the venue, and the team we wanted behind us on our special day.
The Venue:
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, it has this industrial chic feel to it and is a palette that any style will take to. The Penthouse is really the hook - the day we visited, it was a rare 70 degree day, the roof was open and we were overlooking the entire city skyline and the bridge. This space alone was when we knew this is where we’d have our wedding. The views from the Penthouse are incredible and your guests will love it - both day and night and highly recommend hosting your after party here. The pictures we have together as bride and groom from here are just breath taking. We also stayed onsite for our wedding weekend which I highly recommend. As the bride, I booked the Estate Suite - which if you’re getting ready for hair and make up, looking to host friends, this is the spot to be! The room is massive, includes a kitchen area, plenty of seating and a wrap around balcony for you to enjoy views of Queens and Manhattan.
The Food & Service:
I can promise you will absolutely find time to eat if you host your wedding at Ravel. The food is delicious and creative. When we went for our tasting, we truly didn’t want the meal to end. Our guests raved about every bite of food they had throughout the night! For the reception meals, we had a few vegans which was totally a non issue for the Ravel catering team and servers. The cocktail hour, dinner service and bartenders were also just fabulous and professional. We were only a wedding of roughly 115 but there was never a wait at the bar - very important!
The Team:
This is the MOST important piece I want to highlight, Eman and the Ravel Team. They truly went above and beyond. Eman from day one was extremely responsive, answered every single last question we had - always putting us at ease and making us feel even more confident in the decision to host our wedding at Ravel. Eman throughout the entire planning process introduced us to a handful of vendors and was how we found our photography and officiant! She continually offered to take things off my plate and was quick to partner with my other vendors as she wanted to ensure it was smooth sailing leading up to the big day. It was truly a pleasure working with Eman, she went above and beyond, we are so grateful and appreciative of her!
The entire team, Chelsea, Stephen, Julissa, Betsy, and Miranda - provided top notch service. They ensure you truly have the best day from start to finish. You can feel the passion from this team and their internal communication is seamless. Put your trust in this group because they will make your dream day come to life! Thank you again!! -

Spectacular Wedding Weekend! 3/18/23
On Saturday March 18,2023 we celebrated my son and daughter in law’s wedding at the Ravel hotel venue. Even before we booked the date, Eman was hands on, easily approachable and available for us through open communication lines in a most professional manner.
We could not be more thrilled to have chosen The Ravel for our son’s wedding! The hotel itself (located across a covered parking garage from the event spaces) is so cozy yet super trendy and stylish with its beautifully appointed hotel rooms and gorgeous NY views. The events sales manager Julissa took extra special care of our guest room block, giving personal attention to our friends and family throughout the weekend. The bride and groom were lucky enough to stay at the Grand Estates Suite which is a very large suite with a full kitchen; Everything a bride could wish for on her wedding day, in a space to get ready with her brides maids.
On Friday evening we hosted a welcome cocktail reception in the Foyer, coordinated by Eman and Betsey and their team. The food stations were not only decadent, but a sight to behold! It was incredible!
On the day of the wedding, once again Eman was instrumental in making sure every detail was perfectly executed; from the florist, to meeting with the band, reconfiguring the ceremony space, and even pinning the boutonnière on our little ring bearer’s tiny tux.
As the groom’s mother (and a very nitpicky person) I knew this place was unique but .. The wedding itself was above and beyond my expectations, everything from the spacious spaces, to the ridiculously delicious food, the service .. everything was so elevated, so elegant!!
Thank you Eman and everyone at the Ravel!
Wow a what a weekend!
I highly highly recommend the Ravel hotel and events venue!

Will Sent on 04/24/2023Ravel Hotel is the perfect NYC venue!
We had our wedding at Ravel March 2023 and cannot speak more highly of our experience. Ravel superseded our expectations, our wedding was absolutely incredible, and a night to remember for all!
The spaces speak for themselves, making it a memorable and unique venue for our guests! The food was plentiful and delicious, with so much variety to choose from for both the cocktail hour and main party menus. We and our guests were very impressed with how amazing the food all tasted, not like your typical wedding venue.
You also cannot beat the convenience of having the hotel at the venue, getting ready in the beautiful bridal suites just steps away made everything so easy. Julissa and her hotel staff were extremely accommodating to our requests for the hotel block and wedding weekend events, making it a truly unforgettable weekend.
We also have to thank Eman and her team for ALL of their help! For over a year we were in contact with Eman, who was with us every step of the way. She helped us plan the wedding of our dreams, providing guidance of how to pull together our vision. We relied on her for hiring some of our vendors and creative advice while attacking each task with ease. She went out of her way to participate in calls and attend florist visits with us, which was invaluable. She kept up with our demands (which were many) and gave us plenty of communication time - arranging multiple evening visits and calls throughout the planning process. We can’t thank Eman and her team enough!
Ravel Hotel is the perfect NYC venue. You get amazing views of Manhattan / Long Island City, it's super convenient for friends and family out of NYC, Long Island, and New Jersey or those who travel to the NYC airports, and you have a one stop hotel for all of the wedding weekend events!
They know how to do a party right at Ravel and are true professionals. It’s a full service wedding experience from the time you book the venue to the plentiful day of support. Ravel gave us the wedding of our dreams and we cannot recommend it highly enough! -

Worry no more, couples!
MJ and I had an awesome time during this whole wedding process! From worrying how everything would turn out to actually living our wedding fantasy! Eman and her team made this all possible because of their professionalism, promptness and just caring to all our needs! It was definitely worth the price and a once in a lifetime experience! The skyline view at night was just to die for! The whole team including the bartenders, servers, maitre D, bridal attendant, valet, etc were all on point! Thank you all again and especially to Eman!! She was very patient, courteous and just so easy to work with throughout this whole process! STOP WORRYING, TRUST THE PROCESS and JUST DO IT! =) -

We had a fantastic experience getting married at Ravel. I wasn't totally sure what I wanted my wedding to look like, but Eman helped us figure out the execution and connected us with fantastic vendors. The ballroom view is gorgeous and a week later, our friends are still raving about the hors d'oeuvres and the event space. My parents, and many of our guests, traveled and stayed overnight at the Ravel for the wedding. The hotel rooms were spacious and the staff (front desk to house keeping) went above beyond in providing excellent service! We're so happy we chose them.
