We had our heart set on Strong Rope as the perfect spot for our wedding after party, and reached out to the team more than a year in advance. Even though they don't officially book until six months beforehand, Katie gave us all the information that we needed and when the 6-month window arrived we were already set with all of our options. They often do wedding after parties and have a specific package, which was relatively inexpensive. The team was easy to work with - they even helped put out some of our snacks! The beers are always good, and they loaded up our Spotify playlist. The beertenders were great. We'd highly recommend them for wedding afterparties, but honestly, would do so for any event!

The space is really beautiful and just what we wanted for an intimate and lively party. It is so beautifully decorated, especially the floral mural, that it didn't really need much extra decoration from us. The sound system was great and easy to use too.

The Dumbo Loft was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was good, fast, professional, and reliable. The venue itself is beautiful on its own, with a versatile layout and a small but functional dressing room. We were able to decorate the space exactly how we wanted and choose the vendors that fit our vision. The venue was super easy to work with, and the pricing was great compared to other spaces we looked at. The location was also super easy for our guests to get to, and while the space was a bit small, it was just enough room for all we needed.

The W Loft is a great venue for anyone having a smaller wedding/event who wants beautiful city views. I had a wonderful October wedding here and was very fortunate to avoid rain so my guests could make use of the balcony. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that this is a very weather dependent venue. Had it been rain and we’d be limited to inside space only, it would have been a little too cramped. Still an excellent venue for the pricing and I would recommend if

We had our small wedding at the Red Barn at Twin Goat Farm over Memorial Day Weekend and it was truly unforgettable. The venue is located on a family-owned goat farm, where the owner, Tracee, makes goat soap and hosts craft markets and events out of her beautifully decorated barn. The space is so unique and full of charm-our guests were blown away! Tracee has done an incredible job creating an atmosphere that feels both cozy and magical, with quaint farm decor, candles, chandeliers, ferns, and all kinds of interesting details throughout. Tracee and her partner Joe went above and beyond for us. From our first communication to the day of the wedding, they made everything seamless. We held our ceremony in the gazebo, which Tracee graciously transformed with white linen curtains and ensured the lounge furniture was temporarily removed so we had a beautiful space to exchange vows. They even made a custom sign for our special day! Tracee truly bent over backwards to make things perfect—even giving some guests a valet-style ride to the barn when they were running late. She also took a few guests to visit the baby goats, which was a huge hit! The venue accommodated all our vendors with ease, including a DJ, a mobile pizza truck, and a pop-up bar. Everything was smooth and effortless. Our guests are still raving about the space, the farm, and especially the warm hospitality. The barn includes amenities like a bathroom, refrigerator, games (Connect 4, bocce ball, cornhole, and more), and even a fire pit with surrounding seating. There’s a stage for a DJ or karaoke, and the venue provides tables and chairs. Inside, flameless candles line the windowsills, and twinkle lights and chandeliers create the perfect ambiance. Outside, the gazebo is furnished with vintage furniture, making it a charming lounge space when not in use for ceremonies. I will always recommend the Red Barn at Twin Goat Farm for any event and especially for a wedding if you’re looking for something truly unique and memorable

The venue itself was perfect for our big day. It’s a rustic raw space, but the wood and brick finishes make it warm and inviting. I docked a star because they tried to pull one over on us. When we first booked, they sent a brochure that clearly stated the venue included chiavari chairs, however, when we checked in to confirm the furniture inventory, we were told they never had chiavari chairs and I must be mistaken. When I sent the screenshot and the email with the brochure, they had no explanation. So, I will say this— it’s a nice space, but beware of false advertising.

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors. We would highly recommend Sound River Studios to any couple looking to have a memorable NYC wedding!

We had about 130 guests and used the main room for the ceremony, the greenhouse room and space outside for the cocktail hour, the courtyard for the reception dinner, the main room again for the dancing, and the greenhouse room again for the after party (11 to midnight). We also rented the Du Val suite for getting ready, and it was a superb space for the groom’s party and extended family to get ready and hang out and also has the most beautiful garden with city views.

A huge part of what made our day so unforgettable was the incredible service provided by the Director, Nick Serraino. From our very first meeting, Nick went above and beyond to ensure all your requests were accepted. He was incredibly kind, and always available to answer questions (which we had many of) or offer help! His professionalism and warm personality made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. We can’t thank him and his team enough! If you’re looking for a venue that not only offers stunning surroundings but also a team that genuinely goes the extra mile to make your day perfect, look no further than Rutherfurd Hall. Our wedding is always a topic of fond memories at all other family gatherings! We will forever be grateful for the incredible experience and the kindness of Nick!

Cedar Crest Farm was the perfect, exclusive venue for our wedding day. From their excellent, prompt, and genuine communication leading up to the event, to the incredible value and quality of their unique, rustic, and historic property, we could not have asked for a better experience. The beautifully maintained grounds, annual fall pumpkin display, handmade haybale couches, and fun lawn games like cornhole and croquet made our celebration feel truly special and connected to the natural setting. They also went above and beyond, suggesting easy and beautiful DIY activities like s'mores packs, charcuterie handhelds, and custom water bottles to enhance our "day after" luncheon.

*Please note, we booked Cedar Run for the ceremony only* One of the biggest takeaways we received from our wedding was how much everybody liked the ceremony. The beautiful view of the amphitheatre on the lake was absolutely gorgeous, and the weather held up beautifully! We paid extra for the animal ambassadors to make an appearance and it was worth every penny because they were a huge hit with wedding guests. We booked our reception hall first, so we needed a place that would allow us to do only our ceremony, and Cedar Run was the only place nearby that was affordable and actually gave us additional amenities for the cost. Not to mention your donation goes towards the upkeep of the facility and helping out the animals! We were also very big on having a backup plan just in case of inclement weather and they have at least two facilities that could work during rain. The lake, bridge, and woods all make for beautiful shots as you can see. The staff was great to work with and the animals are the cherry on top. Photo Credit: Cyan Blue Photography
