My mother and I had a joint celebration of our birthdays around late September last year. The venue was everything we could have dreamed of. Since it is situated in Roosevelt Island, it was the perfect venue to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city and yet still get a beautiful view of the Manhattan Skyline. The team was also very friendly and supportive to all of our requests and questions. They made sure that our event will go accordingly to what we have envisioned. To top it all off, the food was amazing!!! It is so rare for the celebrants to eat during the event itself but I personally couldn't contain myself. Every dish that was offered during our event was impeccable and there wasn't any miss. There is not one bad thing that I could honestly say about this venue and the team behind. I highly recommend this to everyone!

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!

Fun fact: they have carts for their vendors to load gear, how cool is that? It's those little details that make a difference for those of us who genuinely want to make your day special.

Museum of the Moving Image is not your typical wedding venue - which is exactly what we wanted. BG, our venue coordinator was such a pleasure to work with. This was the first venue we visited and instantly knew it was the one for us, a lot of which is down to the level of service BG provided. We had just shy of 100 guests, reception in the main hall, and used the Red Stone Theatre for the ceremony. Our guests LOVED that they had access to the museum throughout the night, it was such a fun and interactive night for them. We're so glad we chose MOMI as our venue and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different and quirky, thank you to BG and the whole MOMI team!

We had the pleasure of hosting our intimate wedding for just over 50 guests at the Renaissance Event Hall in May 2024. The event space is beautiful— although the surrounding area is a bit rough, it’s a space that’s large enough to really bring your vision to life. Originally, our ceremony was supposed to be held on the outdoor patio but after a “rain plan” rehearsal we decided to have the ceremony indoors to make use of the beautiful grand staircase. Affordable space— for NYC? Absolutely. Food— great! Bar— great! Staff— amazing! Shout out to Larry for the amazing lighting. Both Larry and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure guests were served, comfortable, and having a great time. My only wish was that there was a separate groom suite that’s apart from the bridal suite. Here we had to use a foldable partition to separate the bride side from the groom side. Also, our rehearsal was double booked with another wedding party the day before our wedding which was a bit disappointing having to wait and navigate around their rehearsal to complete ours. However, this just seemed to be a simple miscommunication between Lisa and her assistant which I’m hoping won’t be the case with another bride/groom. Overall, it was the perfect space to host our wedding. Lisa was such a pleasure to work with and had such great insights on how to bring together the event in a manner that made the best use of the space. Thank you to the Renaissance Event Hall team!

Picking M. Wells as my wedding venue was the best decision I’ve ever made. You feel like you’re part of their family the moment you reach out. Sarah was so easy going and positive and flexible. Everything we asked, she said yes to. They are so supportive of whatever you want, whatever will make your day special and unique to you. The space is stunning and unique and can accommodate the ceremony and reception with different configurations to accommodate small to medium weddings. We had 75 guests and it was ideal. It’s intimate, cozy and just so special. The neighborhood is fun and trendy and makes for amazing pictures. And I promise you will not get better food for the price anywhere else. It’s the best deal in NYC. There is no set menu to choose from - you tell the chef what you like and they come up with amazing, inventive dishes, personalized to you and the season. The food was incredible and impressive and bountiful. We even had a poutine course after dessert! All my guests said my wedding was the most fun, unique wedding they had been to and everyone raved about the food. It was pure magic and love from start to finish. I would give anything to relive that day again. M. Wells forever ️

Grimm Artisanal Ales is an amazing venue for a rehearsal dinner or wedding celebration. From the moment we first connected with Mel, we knew we were in great hands. Throughout the process she was so responsive, supportive, and even excited! During the event, Mel and the rest of the amazing staff went above and beyond, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The space is sophisticated, yet warm and the beers, wines, and food (especially the pizza) are exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Grimm Artisanal Ales to any couple looking for a truly special and memorable event.

Our experience with Farm to People was nothing short of perfect. The very beginning of our NYC venue search was somewhat disappointing; we had a unique, sorta non-traditional vision for our wedding and had trouble finding a venue that could help us properly execute on that vision. Enter: Farm to People. From our very first conversation with Rachel, to visiting the space, to our tasting, to the day of the wedding, FTP not only helped bring that vision to life — they honestly made it better. Every single guest RAVED about the food, the drinks, the service, the staff, and the space. They nailed everything. The night was not only amazing, it was so thoroughly us and we genuinely couldn’t ask for more. People always say the wedding planning process is stressful, but Rachel made it an absolute breeze (and honestly, pretty fun!) Not to mention, it was invaluable to find a company, team, and space whose values of sustainable and ethical agriculture aligned with our own. We had the best, most fun night of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without Rachel, Michael, Mikayla, and the entire FTP team. We genuinely can’t thank them enough and we look forward to being life-long Farm to People customers!

We built our space to be unique and original in many ways but also very minimalist and interchangeable. Our tasting room is 1,000 sf with 2 concrete bars. Large windows open onto the sidewalk. One small bar is good for the DJ set up or serving food! Lights are all dimmable to create different moods. The main feature of the space is the large circular bar with 40 taps behind it and a big circular window that overlooks our production space. On tap we have a large selection of our cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), local beers, spirits and wine. There are 2 restrooms. There is plenty of seating, bar seats, custom bench and circular tables, all can be moved or removed. We also offer full packages including coordinating catering, djs and florals with additional add ons such as fun booths or photographers. Send us a message if you want to see more!

As life long NYC-ers, my wife and I were getting concerned with the BORING options out there for our wedding reception. There were tons of places that felt like "just another bar". Or there were incredibly expensive indoor/outdoor rooftop venues with reams of red tape and complicated rules (must use our DJ, must buy XYZ food package). We just wanted to have a party! The Wandering Barman had EXACTLY what we wanted. First, the space itself is incredible and GORGEOUS. The look is unique, the room is spacious, and the light wall looks stunning (you can light it up any color you want!). It really is as fantastic in real life as it appears in photos. The super high ceilings give the space room to breath, and the outdoor picnic tables were perfect for guests taking a break between dance sessions. Plus, since they bottle their own cocktails in the factory on-site, they have everything on tap! No waiting for your bartender to make a drink, it's as simple as pouring one of their delicious cocktails (they have like 15 options, something for everyone, plus wine/beer). It really kept the party moving. Second, Roxane and the team are flexible and easy to work with. We ended up doing a Taco Truck a cash bar. This ended up being an incredibly affordable option for us, and Roxane helped us find a DJ and made sure we were able to get security for the night (so no random NYC party go-ers crashed our reception). If you're looking to have a more modest sized reception or event of any kind you cannot do better than the Wandering Barman!!
