Earthplace was perfect for our 145-person ceremony. It is stunning, unique and great for those on a budget, as the space needs no additional rentals or decorations. Truly cannot beat this venue, and the staff was responsive, helpful and accommodating every step of the way. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to allow for a bar truck and chuppah to be installed without disrupting the nature/wildlife.

The Factoria was the perfect venue for us. The reception area is stunning, with huge panoramic views of the Hudson River, letting in tons of natural light. We had a short ceremony in the annex, which was super convenient being in one location. The food was delicious!! From appetizers, to salads, and entrees, everything was a hit. They make a delicious espresso martini. The event staff were helpful and friendly to all guests as well. About 6 months before our wedding date, we were invited to the venue for a tasting with several other couples, which made us feel so confident about the food, service, and overall venue. They set everything up to feel like a wedding, with a mini cocktail hour to try the appetizers, then seated dinner to try all of the entrees. Megan was very professional and extremely helpful every step of the way, reminding us when documents and action items were due ahead of schedule. On the day of the wedding, Megan made us feel like celebrities. I highly recommend using the bridal suite, it was like a private oasis amongst the chaos of the day. I got ready there with some of my friends while my family helped set up our DIY decor. Megan was extremely accommodating to my party, helping us at every step of the way. We even got a box of leftovers the next day! It's like we relived the best day ever all over again.
