The Perfect Wedding Venue

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!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with the Faculty House. Yvette and Scott carried our day with such grace and made sure the space was fully prepped with what we needed. I’d trust them one hundred times over. Don’t hesitate to book here! They were wildly considerate with our budget and helped us customize the perfect day.

Emerald, Leslie, and the staff were wonderful! We worked closely with Emerald, who communicated with us throughout the entire process, provided multiple drafts of table set-ups, and always inquired internally when we had a question or specific request. I did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. Emerald took care of all the details, and followed the schedule and my notes to make sure everyone was where they had to be!
