Mountainville made our wedding absolutely AMAZING! Lauren, James, and their team were incredible from start to finish - always so helpful, organized, knew what they were doing, filled in our gaps, and just made the whole thing so easy. We didn't hire a wedding planner, and it was totally doable to plan our wedding ourselves with Lauren on our team acting as Day-of-Coordinator. Their packages were great and SUCH a good deal for what we got. We received numerous comments stating that our wedding was great (some even called it the "best wedding ever!"), and Mountainville is definitely the reason why - the grounds are absolutely gorgeous, the staff was attentive and helpful throughout the night, and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. Not to mention that the food was absolutely amazing, and there was plenty of it! I wholeheartedly recommend Mountainville Manor to any couple planning their wedding!

From the moment we first reached out to SkyView Golf Club, their communication was responsive, informative, and super friendly and professional. Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with and I am so happy that she was there with us every step of the way! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views that provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. On the wedding day, our bridal suite attendant (Riley) and cabin attendant (Axel) were more than amazing and made our entire experience that much more perfect! Despite the rain that required us to move the ceremony indoors, the SkyView team executed the change flawlessly and made the space look absolutely stunning. Our guests raved about the amazing food and the attentive staff that went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was more than perfect. We had family calling us days after the wedding saying they wished they could be back at our cocktail hour all over again - it was that good!! We couldn't have asked for a better venue and would HIGHLY recommend SkyView Golf Club to any couple looking for an amazing, worry-free wedding experience.

My husband and I chose the Envue Hotel to be our all-in-one wedding venue and hotel room block. We actually signed our contract two years ago when a different management team was in place. After signing the contract, a new management team came in, and we could not have been more amazed with the level of service. It truly was a blessing in disguise. Chris and his team are truly one of a kind. From day one, Chris jumped in and truly became a partner in our wedding planning process. He was not only great at communicating, but also open to collaborating to make it the day of our dreams. I feel like so many venues we visited put numerous restrictions in place, but Chris listened to all of our ideas and was open to executing on our vision. He advice and guidance was so reassuring throughout the entire process. The venue itself is STUNNING. I can’t even express how many compliments I received from our guests. “This is the most beautiful venue I’ve ever been to” and “This is the best cocktail hour I’ve attended” was uttered all throughout the night. The fact that guests could dance at the reception, and then step outside on the balcony made it such an incredible reception space. Everyone loved it! Edwin was our Maître D. He was so friendly and detail oriented. I didn’t notice a single thing that didn’t go the way I wanted it to, and I know it was because Edwin was running a tight ship behind the scenes. The food was incredible and the bartenders were so friendly. Ali handled our room block, and I was also so pleased with the level of communication. Ali was responsive and accommodative of our requests. I didn’t hear a single complaint about the check in process, and the rooms were updated, clean, and beautiful. The Skyline Suite is also perfect for those “getting ready photos” the morning of J All in all, I think the Envue is a hidden gem of a wedding venue! With the ferry right in front of the venue, you can have all the perks of NYC while avoiding the craziness. Thank you, Envue and Team!

We had our wedding at the Park Lane Hotel and it was honestly perfect and absolutely beautiful. The whole day ran so smoothly, and everyone loved the food, the atmosphere, and the service. Lauren and her team were very accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They did a great job communicating with our planner, florist, and the accommodations team to make sure everything—from the event to our guests’ stay—was seamless. They had just started taking on larger weddings and did an amazing job. They were super flexible, and anytime something came up, they always found a solution. We’re so happy with how everything turned out and couldn’t recommend the venue more.

3 West’s coordinator Marc and his staff went absolutely above and beyond for our wedding. They took my homemade centerpieces and made the solarium and the ballroom especially look truly breathtaking– but the hotel on its own is a true old New York style gem. Off-peak pricing with the room block was a great deal and worth every penny. Guests were directed from room to room quickly and with ease, communication was prompt and helpful, and the party went off without a single hitch. Thank you 3 West for bringing my dream to life!

Their staff is friendly, helpful, and hardworking. the work as they are one unit and everything is dene seamlessly. Whether you book your event with Alisa, Glen or Monika you will be getting someone who will treat you and your guests like royalty..i've heard from clients that the service is so good there they felt like they were the venue's sole client. The views are also second to none. You will be on the Penthouse of a 5th ave building with views facing all sections of the city.

Having never been privy to what goes into a wedding reception, I was in the dark about a lot. So, I had difficulty understanding what to choose and how much our choices would cost. If it wasn’t for the close proximity to the church, I may have chosen a different venue for our reception. The food and beverage was the biggest expense and the biggest source of confusion. The real disappointment of the F&B was the limited amount of food. The shrimp appetizer was good. However, there was so little, if you didn’t grab some, it was gone. Of the three entrees to choose from, the only one that was any good was the fish and the portion was less than one would reasonably expect for an entree. The chicken was dry and hard, a huge disappointment. The lemon tart dessert was good. The space itself is very nice. Fortunately, it was just the right size for our reception.

Choosing Riverview Ballroom for our daughter's wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was something special, but seeing our daughter's wedding day come to life there exceeded every expectation we had. The setting is absolutely breathtaking. We were blessed with beautiful weather and were able to have the ceremony outside overlooking the river and the New York City skyline. It created the most stunning backdrop and photographed so beautifully. Working with Stefania was an absolute pleasure. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she made us feel supported every step of the way. She was always organized, responsive, calm, and genuinely cared about making our daughter's day everything she had dreamed of. On the wedding day, the entire staff worked together so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. We were able to simply be present and enjoy every precious moment with our family and friends. The ballroom itself is gorgeous. The elegant white décor and beautiful marble floors create a timeless, sophisticated space that complements any style or color palette. The bridal attendant was absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and always one step ahead of what was needed. She took such wonderful care of our daughter throughout the day. Our daughter's wedding was everything we had hoped for and more, and Riverview Ballroom played a huge role in making it such an unforgettable day. If you're looking for a venue with breathtaking views, outstanding service, and people who truly care about making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Riverview Ballroom highly enough.

From our first conversation, The Graycliff team made us feel completely taken care of.

My husband and I toured so many New York venues - nothing compared to the magic of The Foundry. The team first of all was always so kind and responsive to any questions or concerns we had along the way and they always felt like they were on our side. The venue itself, there is no comparison, there are so many different ways you can use the space and design it to turn it into your own vision.

The rose room is such a unique venue in LIC that offers incredible views of the city!! However, the liberty to transform the venue into any type of space is what I loved most - its a gorgeous blank canvas that lends itself to any theme. Erica has been so great to work with - unfortunately the wedding planning process can be filled with roadblocks and hurdles but the rose room has by far been the least complicated vendor to work with!

We got married here in September 2024, and choosing this venue was truly the best decision we made. The in-house planner, Emily, handled every detail seamlessly and coordinated with all of our other vendors, making the entire process feel easy and enjoyable on our end! Stacy was our maitre d’ and we absolutely adored her—she brought the most positive, calming energy and made the day feel effortless. The food was fantastic, and they were incredibly attentive to my needs as a vegetarian, which I really appreciated. The drinks were flowing and people loved the custom cocktails. It’s been a year now, and people still tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful team or a more perfect day. Highly, highly recommend.

Our guests were enchanted by the skyline views and the delicious bites and drinks. Everyone was very impressed by the turnover from ceremony space to reception. It was incredibly quick and smooth. The team was a well oiled machine, They handled every transition and any small hiccup with precision and grace. The personal attention given to the couple throughout the reception was greatly appreciated. The attention to detail day of was a wonderful contrast to their more hands-off approach to the pre-planning. The front desk staff at the hotel provided exceptional service from handling questions about the room block to tracking down and setting up a pack and play for the littlest guest. Every staff member that we encountered was professional, warm, and welcoming.
