    Stunning views, incredible food!

    The Water Club was an incredible venue to celebrate our wedding in mid-October. We enjoyed working with Elle to plan the ceremony and reception, appreciated how quickly she responded to emails as the wedding got closer, and were so impressed by how smoothly everything ran on the wedding day itself! It was exceptionally easy to coordinate other vendors (music, bakery, florals) with the Water Club. It was also so much fun to attend the tasting a few months before the wedding and our pre-wedding walk through during wedding week did a lot to calm our nerves. On the wedding day, we could really enjoy our day without worrying about details. Our guests continue to rave about the food and exceptional views. An absolutely wonderful space for a Manhattan wedding!

    Best wedding venue in New York!

    The Water Club was the most perfect venue I could have imagined for my August 2023 wedding! Everything detail was incredible from the food, the spaces, the views, and the dedicated staff. We had the pleasure of working with Elle and could not have felt luckier! She and her team flawlessly executed every detail of the wedding and not only accommodated, but went above and beyond for every special request we had. Elle was also incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and in the lead up to the wedding. All of our guests raved about the venue. The ceremony was beautifully set up and the Crow's Nest was the perfect venue for the cocktail hour and after party. We would highly recommend the Water Club to anybody looking for a beautiful, classic NYC venue with phenomenal service! The Water Club was easily the best choice we made for our wedding.

    Exceptional Service and Affordable pricing

    If we could give 10 stars we would! We visited 13 venues last year before we found and booked with The Water Club. We could not be happier with our decision. Sonya exceeded our expectations in what she did for us. she not only organized all of our vendors the day of, but made sure everything ran smoothly and reassured us before and on the day of our wedding. She provided guidance during our day to make sure everything ran smoothly. She made us feel calm and we were able to actually enjoy our entire wedding day because of her. Because of Sonya and all she did for us, we did not need a wedding planner. She was reliable and dependable and thorough. she made us her priority not only the day of, but throughout all of the planning and leading up to our big day. From our Maitre'd Domingo and Captain Jose, to the staff, valet, room attendant and coat check, everyone was so professional, welcoming and hard working every minute of our special day. They are affordable and worked with our budget. Everything we wanted or asked for through out the planning was always met with a yes or "we can make that happen". We never expected to be so accommodated and made feel so special as we were our wedding night, and only wish we could relive this day every day! We owe all of this to this very special place and the special people who run The Water Club. We captured the most spectacular views of the east side of Manhattan and river in our photos and video, as this venue is right on the east river! the food exceeded our expectations and our guests cannot stop raving about it! No one had to wait for a drink all night, as the service and attention to not only us but our guests was impeccable. In our opinion, there is NO BETTER place to have the wedding of your dreams than at The Water Club. They truly provided everything needed from start to finish to make our day the most special day of our lives. Thank you all!

    Couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue for my wedding!

    I realize this review is a bit late, but I feel compelled to still write it because of the amazing experience we had with The Water Club. I first connected with Alyson at The Water Club in September of 2018 and booked my wedding for May of 2020. Our wedding was postponed not once, but twice due to COVID – as we tried moving it to May of 2021 but with the continued uncertainty, moved it again to October of 2021. Through it all Alyson was a phenomenal ally! From the moment we met I knew our wedding was in great hands. She is knowledgeable, thorough, supportive, and an all-around fabulous person! In March of 2020, there were so many unknowns but despite that, Alyson still came to us with viable options and scenarios for how we could proceed. Both times we postponed our wedding, the process was seamless, and we are so grateful for that. Alyson gave us peace of mind and made sure we knew that she and The Water Club was in this with us and would do whatever they could to help. She checked in regularly with updates and answered our mountain of questions as the circumstances of the pandemic continued to evolve. When it finally became clear that we could proceed with our wedding in October, Alyson and introduced us to Sonya – an absolute rockstar – to handle the final arrangements and help coordinate for the day of. These two ladies are a powerhouse team, they attended to anything and everything we could possibly want or need! From managing our vendors to coordinating vaccination verification to keeping track of everything (and I mean everything!) they made sure our day was the most special and memorable event! I loved having Sonya by my side on the day. She is diligent, funny, and ready for anything. The Water Club’s staff was incredible! The maître d' Diego was wonderful! One of my bridesmaids broke her ankle 2 weeks before the wedding and had to use a scooter and crutches to get around. Diego made sure she was taken care of, could easily get around, and had access to storage for her scooter and crutches. He was on top of everything! Many of our guests commented on what an awesome job he was doing throughout the wedding. And the food, THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!! There wasn’t a single complaint, not even a slight grumble, about the food from any of our guests. Every dish from the hours de vours to the desserts was mind-blowing!! Our wedding was perfect and worth every second of the 3 years we had to wait to finally have it! The Water Club made that happen.

    Absolutely Perfect

    If you're getting married in NYC, book The Water Club as soon as you can! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Our wedding there in May was better than we could have dreamed. The space is beautiful, and having the entire event surrounded by river views is unbeatable - even more magical at night with the lights on the water. Alyson and Sonya helped guide us through the planning process and are absolute pros. They are really fun to work with and take care of everything. The entire Water Club team made the night seamless - as soon as we walked into the event we didn't have to think about a thing. Plus the food is AMAZING! Our guests haven't stopped raving about the space, the staff, and the food. It's a New York classic for a reason!

    Perfect NYC Venue

    I cannot say enough great things about the Water Club! The various rooms and spaces are so elegant and make for a really unique, and quintessential New York experience! Alyson made everything so easy and seamless, (we couldn't have done it without her!) and she gave great advice and help with everything from the menu, vendors, to the schedule and timeline which was a huge relief especially when you're just getting started and not sure of how everything fits together. Our guests were blown away and kept saying how much they loved the various rooms and, of course, the view! We can't recommend the Water Club enough!

    Best venue ever!

    Truly THE BEST EVER. If we could give more than five stars we would. My husband and I recently had our wedding at The Water Club on February 15, 2020 and it could not have been more perfect. We worked with Alyson, the director of events, to plan our wedding and she was absolutely fantastic. Alyson worked with us from day 1 to plan the wedding of our dreams, from planning the specific type of ceremony/reception we wanted, to choosing the food, as well as all the other details for the day of the wedding. Alyson is also extremely knowledgeable about the entire wedding process - she takes care of absolutely everything and makes sure that the wedding day is perfect. (While weddings are not always easy to plan, Alyson really went above and beyond to make the planning process stress free and enjoyable.) Since our wedding was in February it was quite chilly outside, but TWC had the fireplace going and the venue was cozy, classy and also had that 'old New York' feel. Our guests have not yet stopped raving about the place itself, the delicious food and the exceptional staff (bartenders, bathroom attendants, waiters, etc. were professional, attentive, and incredibly nice). We feel so incredibly lucky to have had such a wonderful experience and we are so happy we chose TWC as our wedding venue! BEST NIGHT EVER!

    Love Jamie & Greg

    The quintessential New York City wedding venue

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Water Club on October 11th, 2019. It is the perfect venue for that quintessential New York City wedding. Our photos are stunning, the food was excellent, and Alyson Pike, the events coordinator, could not be easier to work with. l 100% recommend The Water Club to couples who want an elegant and unique venue that guests will love.

    breathtaking views, world-class service

    My wife and I were so excited to visit The Water Club as it was the first venue that we were considering. We were so impressed, that it actually became the last venue as well. The staff, location and views all really helped make that decision a great one, but more importantly it was our event coordinator, Alyson Pike. She was great from start to finish and went above & beyond to make us feel comfortable throughout. The wedding day itself was everything we could've dreamed of. The venue, food and service were all exceptional, and Alyson's great talents persisted. We can't thank Alyson and her team enough, and highly recommend The Water Club

    Excellent and wonderful experience

    I recently held my wedding at the Water Club. My husband and I could not have been more thrilled by the event. From the food to the actual gorgeous venue, we and our guests had such a meaningful time. Alyson at the Water Club was phenomenal to work with...she was on top of every detail and we knew we were well taken care of. We definitely made the perfect choice for our wedding

    Amazing Venue

    My original venue was closed a month before my wedding. I had attended a friend's wedding at the Water Club and they ended up providing an even better wedding than what I originally planned.

    First, the venue is incredibly beautiful, has great light, and is well-suited to a wedding. There is plenty of space for the ceremony and cocktail hour (in two nicely appointed rooms), and a lovely bridal suite. The views are stunning and so many guests complimented it.

    Second, everyone who works there was amazing. Joann & Alyson really helped my day become incredible. Every server/restroom attendant as well was very kind and professional.

    The food was outstanding, and the portions were very generous. They worked with me to bring in a non-traditional dessert (cinnabons), and served them warm without me even thinking to do that!

    It was also a wonderful value and they were very willing to work with us to fit everything we wanted within our budget.

    Incredible

    The Water Club was a truly wonderful venue for our wedding! First of all, it was cozy and intimate for our wedding of 130 (though the space could comfortably have accommodated many more). We got married in the winter, and the view was beautiful – a stunning backdrop for our photos!

    Our event manager, Alyson, was amazing – she answered emails so promptly, was full of suggestions, and made sure our wedding day ran so smoothly! She sent us a proposed timeline/outline and had us fill in our preferences, which was so helpful. She also coordinated delivery/set-up with our outside vendors (video, photo, DJ, flowers, cake), so I did not have to worry about anything on my wedding day. There was also so much food (all delicious!), and they were able to accommodate our numerous dietary restrictions without a problem.

    Alyson, and all the staff at The Water Club, are so warm and caring – I truly felt so special! I could not have had a more perfect wedding! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    Wedding Reception in a New York Minute

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Water Club. We planned a small reception very last-minute. The planning process was smooth and Joanne was extremely accommodating. The views are amazing and the ambiance is beautiful. The service is impeccable and food was amazing. Our guests are still talking about the food! Joanne did an amazing job setting up the venue; it was so beautiful. Thank you for an unforgettable evening!

    From start to finish not one complaint about th water club

    Do not even think just book this venue. It is worth it just to work with Alyson who is an angel on earth. This woman is so organized and responsive she made the wedding planning process as easy as possible and took care of literally EVERYTHING. We had a couple issues on the day with vendors we had hired and Alyson fixed it and made everything perfect. Also - the food is incredible, the chef is super accommodating, the wait staff were BEYOND attentive to the point that multiple people went out of their way to mention it to me after. I literally have not one complaint. Don’t think about it anymore just book the water club.

    Where do I begin! WE LOVED EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS! Alyson, the Events Manager is a doll! We was always very reponsive, she made us feel very special, and the staff was amazing. We had our ceremony and reception here. There was a cocktail/hor devours hour following the ceremony, we then went to the large reception space downstairs and had a 3 course meal and open bar for our guests. The price for this was much better than MOST NYC venues. I should also mention that we had 60 guests. There is a bridal Suite on site, however no suite for the Groom. Although, there wasn't a suite for the Groom that really wasn't a problem because there's so many hotels in the area.

    We had our wedding at The Water Club on 8.18.18. The entire planning process from start to finish was easy and seamless thanks to Alyson. We didn’t need to hire an extra wedding planner or day of coordinator because she was that great! She was always very communicative and responsive even when she was on her own personal leave.

    We had about 165 guests who attended our wedding. Everyone raved about the food during cocktail hour and the premium open bar. For the reception we had a 4 course meal with your standard steak, chicken, and fish option. Given that I had about 50 vegetarian guests, they were so accommodating in letting us add a 4th option. Every dish was executed very well. The staff was very attentive given the large amount of people. The Maitre D always checked on us to make sure my husband and I had our glass full and food at the sweetheart table.

    From location, to food, to service, The Water Club exceeded all of our expectations. Our wedding was perfect and it’s been almost 2 months now and people are still talking about it! You will not be disappointed if you choose The Water Club, Alyson and her team will make your wedding the most magical day ever! We can’t thank you enough!

    We haven’t received our photos back yet but once we do, I’ll be sure to update with professional ones!

    Alyson Pike is beyond the consumste professional! She helped us from day one with all the small to big details of our wedding and it just was the most spectacular wedding a couple could ever hope to have. Everyone raved about the food, the service and the views!! Added bonus is how Alyson and the staff worked with our special requests and accommodated with patience everything including those guests with last minute changes and dietary restrictions. Responsive, professional, just warm and personable and honestly, for NYC a value for that par venue with views. We can’t say enough wonderful things about The Water Club and Alyson.

    Words can not express the amazing experience we had with Alyson and the entire crew for our wedding on July 7th at The Waterclub. The level of professionalism and attention to detail went above and beyond. I recommend The Waterclub to anyone who is getting married - you will not be disappointed.

    Joanne at Water Club made our Daughters wedding day the best day ever! From start to finish Joanne was a huge help always answering my emails promptly. Water Club was excellent, I would highly recommend this venue. We couldn’t fault anything. We had a drinks reception on a private patio prior to the meal which was very much enjoyed by everyone. Staff, service and of course the food was 1st class.

    I had my 50th Birthday Brunch Bash here, appx 80 guest's. From my first encounter through the end of my party I wanted for nothing! The food, the views, venue and overall customer service Spectacular!! My Guests were thrilled and so was I. I received many compliments about all of the above, & guest's loved the food! My event planner Allyson was amazing, informative & sooo helpful. She worked directly with me, my DJ, florist and Photo Booth vendors - I did not have to do anything after hiring them. The staff are wonderful and make your celebration fantastic and fun!! I could not have asked for a more Perfect party or day!

    Your wedding is supposed to be one of the best days of your life, and Alyson and The Water Club not only made it happen but far exceeded expectations. The venue overlooking the water is magnificent and the food is beyond words good (seriously people cleaned their plates for every meal), but it is the staff that makes this place A+. Alyson helped come up with ideas to make our idea of a brunch wedding come true. At times it seemed like she was more excited than we were. She was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, always accommodating or making suggestions where necessary. On the day of the wedding, she made sure that everything was set and ready to go. She handled everything professionally and kept everyone where they needed to be. She even handled some last second requests flawlessly. Everyone else there was so friendly.
