We booked Maxwell Alley for our baby shower and couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the moment we reached out, their team responded within the hour (or less) and worked with us to nail down every detail—from the flowers to the final setup. The open plan layout is perfect for weddings, giving you flexibility to create the exact vibe you want, and their staff was attentive throughout the day, making sure nothing fell through the cracks. What really impressed us was how reasonable their pricing was and how willing they were to work with our budget without cutting corners. They stayed flexible as our plans shifted, which took so much stress off our shoulders during planning. We'd recommend Maxwell Alley to any couple looking for a thoughtfully designed space with a team that actually cares about making your day special.

Even before stepping foot inside 87 Sussex it already checked a lot of boxes for us. It's a stylish restaurant with a quality menu, walking distance from our church, and not a wedding factory like so many of the larger venues in the area are. From the moment we starting figuring out logistics with Emily we knew we lucked out. Emily was responsive, communicative, and helpful in accommodating our requests and finding solutions to any issues that arose in the planning process. The day of the wedding was everything we hoped for and more. The weather was perfect, so our guests took full advantage of the space- indoor and out. After dinner the downstairs tables were moved to accommodate a dance floor. It was a fun, intimate party with family and friends. From the cocktail hour through the dinner, the food and drinks were elevated, delicious and bountiful. Three months later our guests are still raving about the food. It's not often that wedding guests compliment the staff as much as the dinner itself, but that was also the case at 87 Sussex. The bartenders, hosts, management, and waitstaff were in a festive mood and incredibly attentive to all of our guests. It all made for a special, once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

On the day of our wedding, the entire team - from the kitchen staff to the bartender to the on-site manager - worked very hard to keep everything running smoothly. Every detail felt exquisite, and the space itself was beautiful. The staff genuinely cared about making sure our guests were happy and taken care of throughout the night. We'd recommend Maman to any couple looking for a venue with both delicate, thoughtful service and a stunning setting. Also, in terms of food - our guests loved everything! Especially the desserts, the vegan wedding cake was gorgeous and so delicious.

We were incredibly lucky to have our wedding at Five Boroughs. We loved the flexibility to make the event exactly what we wanted in terms of decor and food as well as the actual logistics of the wedding itself. We chose to get married and have cocktails on the production floor, then party in the taproom, with two food trucks at the curb. It was a great size for a 68-person event, although I can see it working for a slightly larger crowd, too. Five Boroughs worked with our wedding planner to iron out the kinks and help get the timing right, which was especially crucial as we were the first wedding they ever hosted. From an accessibility standpoint, it also worked out well since parking wasn't a challenge and the train is right there (and Melody Lanes is right there for afterparty considerations...). The space is incredibly photogenic as well. Just a lovely night to remember; highly recommended.

We hosted a baby shower on December 15 at Empyrean Bistro & Bar and it was absolutely perfect. The space is so versatile and beautiful—we used both the indoor area and the outdoor space, which made it easy for guests to mingle, take photos, and relax without feeling crowded. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly organized, making the whole event feel effortless. The food was a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented—and the bar team also did a great job with drinks and mocktail options for guests who preferred non-alcoholic choices. Getting there was easy for everyone: the 9th St Light Rail stop is right outside the building, and there’s a large nearby parking garage with validated parking available. If you’re looking for a Hoboken venue for a baby shower (or any family celebration) with great service, amazing food, and indoor/outdoor space, I highly recommend Empyrean Bistro & Bar.

Our guests and we had a wonderful experience at Le District at our wedding in May 2022. Since our family abroad couldn't make it to the wedding, we were only looking for a space to host a dinner for our 50 or so friends and we thought about Liberty Bistro in Le District since we used to live in the BPC area and had brunch there and we thought the interior design was beautiful and the size of the place fit our needs perfectly. The location is just perfect by the waterfront with an amazing river view and there is also an oval lawn right outside in which we thought about doing the ceremony but unfortunately, we eventually had to do it at Belvedere Plaza 200 feet away since it just so happened that the lawn was closed for maintenance that day. The Liberty Bistro restaurant was able to book out the entire indoor dining space for us without venue fees provided that we meet a spending minimum on food and wine. We had a great experience nailing down the food and drink menu with them - the restaurant had great options and communications were effortless. We were able to bring our own flowers and balloons and our friends DIY'ed the decorations though there wasn't too much to decorate since the space already looked nice and sweet. We also had our own seating plan which involved moving the tables and chairs and Le District was able to help us with it too, apart from the booths which cannot be physically moved. The night went smoothly; we were able to hook up an iPad to the sound system and play our own hand-picked wedding playlist; The guests enjoyed a 3-course prix-fixe menu (with additional vegetarian options); we also did our first dance under the beautiful tree in the center of the restaurant. At the end of the night, when we net out a few hundred under the min. spend, the restaurant was able to throw in a couple of champagne bottles for us to take home. We wish we could share photos of that wonderful evening to show how great it was and we really appreciate Le District for the great food and drinks, service, and communications, and just for being the place where it all happened.

I love photographing weddings at Manhatta restaurant in downtown Manhattan. The team at Manhatta couldn't have been more professional, accommodating and friendly! The last couple I photographed at Manhatta had such a great time, which was evident in the joy and love in the photos. The rooms were infused with light and a beautiful warm glow at sunset. The views of the city were breathtaking - the guests were very impressed. There was ample room for the couple of have a band perform and to also dance the night away with all of their family and friends. I highly recommend this venue!

New York, NY
  • Up to 110 guests

  • Starts at $12,500

The reclaimed industrial bones of 24 Harrison Street, situated perfectly between Hudson and Greenwich St, offer a unique backdrop. The space features roughhewn wood, burnished metal, and the historic charm of a former cheese factory, ensuring an atmosphere far removed from generic corporate event spaces. Credit is due to the visionary efforts of Paul Grieco—a two-time James Beard award winner—for creating a sanctuary where special events are truly memorable. The bar specializes in wine, featuring a lengthy, in-depth, and quirky list that has won multiple awards for rejecting the mundane. Most standard wedding selections never cross this threshold. The menu strikes a balance between high-end culinary craft and accessible bistro fare. From intimate engagement gatherings to unforgettable receptions, this independent Tribeca venue seamlessly adapts to a wide variety of visions. Choosing this location means opting for character and history over a standard, white-tablecloth ballroom.

Terroir was the perfect spot for our wedding welcome party! We had about 85 guests and bought out the entire venue. The casual setup was exactly what we wanted—it gave everyone plenty of room to mix and mingle, while tapas were passed throughout the night. There was more than enough food, with a great variety of options, and our guests absolutely raved about it. We love wine, so Terroir was an especially great fit for us. They worked with us to offer a variety of wines for our guests, while the non-wine drinkers appreciated the fun selection of beers and cocktails. Setup was incredibly easy, and the staff was accommodating throughout the entire process. We were able to play some of our favorite movies on the big screen, and Terroir gave us full control of the music, so we created a playlist based on song requests from our RSVPs. Those little touches made the night feel really personal to us. We also loved that guests could drop in on their own schedule, and the high-top tables and open layout naturally encouraged people to move around and mingle rather than stay in one place all night. It was exactly what we wanted for the start of our wedding weekend: relaxed, fun, personal, and the perfect place for all of our guests to get acquainted. We couldn’t have been happier with Terroir.

The Gran Morsi team will be in my heart forever! After not reading my contract carefully enough (READ THE FINE PRINT EVERYONE, DON'T BE LIKE ME), I realized I had booked the private event space for my wedding welcome party on the day of my wedding... and came to this realization as all our guests were already at the restaurant. Skyle appeared like an angel, and within 30 minutes she pulled together the event we had scheduled for the next day, including every appetizer in our contract and even the playlist we had sent. The professionalism and grace of the team and Skyle especially was truly unmatched. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant's food, its atmosphere and its caring and committed staff.

We loved hosting our reception at Talea Cobble Hill! The venue was incredibly easy to work with - from getting an initial proposal, to updating the proposal a few times as we changed our minds about dates and times, to picking the food and drinks. The drinks tasted exactly as good (maybe better) than when we've gone for drinks on a typical weekend. The space provides a nice mix of seating and standing areas. We were able to use our own music playlist and present a few speeches followed by cake cutting - all very smooth. I'd strongly recommend this venue for a low-stress wedding event!

The Prospect Park Boathouse was our absolute dream venue and the perfect setting for our big day! We had been torn between having a wedding more in nature or more in the city, and the Boathouse was the perfect blend between the two. Although the food wasn't our top priority, it ended up being a highlight of the day (especially the bacon wrapped dates). Throughout planning, Elena was very communicative and quick to respond to any email or question we had. Many of our guests commented on how elegant and classic New York the Boathouse was as a venue, and that's exactly what made us fall in love with it in the first place. We're also very excited that they recently opened a cafe out of the Boathouse during the day as well so that we can go back and relive our special day over and over again. A big thank you to Elena and the rest of the Purslane team for making our special day absolutely perfect!

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Houston Hall. Carlita and Isabel made sure our entire wedding day went flawlessly. From the start, Carlita worked closely with us during the tasting to ensure all our guests’ dietary needs were accommodated. With several family members living with celiac disease, including my dad, this was incredibly important to us, and she handled it with so much care and attention. The food and drinks were outstanding. We chose a few specialty cocktails that were a huge hit, and our guests ravedabout the food. At most weddings, the food is forgettable, but Houston Hall completely exceeded our expectations, everything was truly delicious. Beyond that, Carlita and Isabel made the planning process so seamless and stress-free. They ensured we had everything we needed, coordinated with all of our vendors, kept the schedule perfectly on track, and made my wedding day feel effortless. I knew everything was being expertly handled and that we were in the best hands. The venue is such a unique and amazing place, and everyone felt so welcomed. Additionally, they provided a list of vendors they work with regularly, which was phenomenal. They went above and beyond in every way and delivered the most perfect day. I am endlessly grateful and couldn’t recommend Houston Hall more highly.

New York, NY
  • Up to 75 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,500

A vibrant and unpretentious West Village restaurant and wine bar with the best by-the-glass wine list in the world. Our food menu is Mediterranean-inspired and includes an eclectic assortment of small, but shareable bites. Our space is ideal for parties and receptions, but due to its floor plan, does not lend itself to wedding ceremonies or presentations where sight lines are critical.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Creates a sense of togetherness
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No on-site bridal suite
  • Dance floor not included
As I planned our surprise engagement, I wanted to choose a location to go after that moment to celebrate with a larger group of friends and family that resonated with both of us, so our local wine spot, Temperance, was perfect. Having no idea whether they would even consider a private party I reached out through an email on the website and quickly realized how kind and accommodating the staff was. We were able to rent out the back patio and fully customize the space with our own set up and outside decorations. As a part of the space rental we were allowed an allotment of more than enough food and, more importantly, a customized collection of reds, whites, oranges and rosès. I’d recommend letting the staff pick the specific wines, they’re the experts after all (they did pick one special wine just for us and immediate family based on my specific request, but I like to pretend that was just for me). It was the perfect place to celebrate with around 25 of our closest friends and family. The one downside was they have a hard cutoff of 10pm due to some vocal neighbors but the staff was very upfront throughout the booking process that that was going to be the case, so there were no surprises. Additionally, because of how much we love the aesthetic inside near the bar and the room fronting Carmine Street, we also asked if we could start our engagement photo shoot at Temperance before they opened one night. Once again, we were met with a staff that went out of their way to help us anyway they could and even gave us a glass of wine each to take the edge off of some poses that feel extremely ridiculous in the moment, but turned out to be great pictures. We were as happy with those pictures as we were with both of those experiences at Temperance.

My husband and I had our wedding, both ceremony & reception, at the Randolph Rooftop last August. It was nothing short of fantastic! The staff worked closely with us in the weeks leading up to the event, refining our menu (we had some off menu special requests) and even made us custom menu cards and signature drink menus with our dog on them! We truly did not need to lift a finger for any of the prep, we just gave our preferences and they took it from there. Since my husband and I are pretty laid back, the beer garden tables and minimal decor was perfect for us. We were more focussed on serving delicious food and drinks (which Randolph delivered! and the bartenders were the best!!), but I can definitely see how the space can be transformed into many different styles. We highly recommend the Randolph Rooftop to couples who would like to say ‘I Do’ with classic New York views as the backdrop. Views of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and lower Manhattan gave all of our photos that quintessential New York vibe. Best of all…I still have people telling me my wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. I couldn’t recommend Randolph more.

We had our wedding reception at the Royal Palms in March of 2024 and everyone had a blast. All of our guests commented on how much fun it was go to a party that had a unique atmosphere and wasn’t just sitting at a table eating. All age ranges of our guests loved it, boomers to gen-z. The team at the club is incredibly easy to work with and were supportive throughout our process. It was also great to bring in our own food/flower vendors from the neighborhood and get to make the party personal. We had an incredible experience

Our private social club hosted a social mixer on a Tuesday at The Folly and our guests had a great time! We were a group of about 15 and the beautiful mezzanine area worked perfect for us. Aron, Jon and Ina were a pleasure to work with. Aron was very responsive and timely in communication and Jon and Ina were friendly on site the evening of our event. No reservation fee or food and drink minimums were required which is difficult to come by in beautiful NYC spaces. I look forward to reserving again!

My wife and I hosted our welcome party for our wedding at Someday Bar and they helped us to realize a gathering of family and friends that we didn’t think was possible. We chose Someday Bar for the value, proximity, and overall experience both before and during all interactions we had with the team. Megan and her team make Someday Bar NYC an excellent place for a semi-private, relaxed party in downtown Brooklyn / Boerum Hill. Megan helped us to select a food and open bar package, with options for vegan and gluten free guests. The food was replenished often, something we were not expecting. People still remind us of how delectable their brownies (the best ever), beignets, and bahn mi sliders were. The bar and wait staff were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful whenever we had a request and we will back back soon for another drink and definitely another brownie!

We hosted a Friday night welcome event for our wedding at Sound Fury Brewery and it was the perfect choice. We worked with Natalie, who was absolutely incredible - she and her team handled everything. They helped us build the menu, handled all staffing, and helped with audio set up. As our vision changed and the event grew bigger, they worked with us to adjust and made sure we had everything we needed. We can't recommend them enough for hosting events. The food was good (especially the pizzas), their beers are fun, and the ambiance is great. They even customized the little sign outside the brewery for us - it was so sweet! Natalie was a super-star.
