The Sanctuary RI 

4.7

  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Nestled in a beautifully restored former church, The Sanctuary RI combines historic elegance with modern charm. The venue boasts stunning original stained glass and a serene, intimate atmosphere. Guests are often impressed by the exceptional service and the breathtaking views of the East River, making it an ideal setting for any special event. The landscaped patio provides a perfect space for cocktail hours, while private rooms offer cozy settings for more intimate gatherings. This venue's flexibility and attention to detail ensure a memorable experience for all occasions.

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!

The Rose Room Venue 

5.0

Long Island City, NY
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Our space has a rectangular layout, featuring approximately one hundred feet in length. It offers nineteen hundred square feet of indoor space and six hundred fifty square feet of outdoor space. The versatile indoor area can be arranged for dining, dancing, or presentations, while the outdoor space is ideal for cocktail hours or small ceremonies. The eleven-and-a-half-foot ceilings with three-foot crystal chandeliers add an airy, open feel. Additionally, our elegant Quartz bar is perfect for serving drinks and enhancing the overall event experience. Guests will also enjoy stunning views of Manhattan and the Queensborough Bridge, adding a breathtaking backdrop to any occasion.”

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!

From the first time my husband and I visited SRS we absolutely loved the space. We are both born and raised in Queens and wanted to get married somewhere that really felt like the both of us and is a reflection of our love for Queens and for this city. Una is the venue coordinator and she is fantastic. This being a raw space venue, you need someone who knows the ins and outs of planning an event in this setting. She guided us the whole way throughout the process and was instrumental in coordinating all of our vendors on the day of our wedding. This space is perfect for someone who wants their wedding or event to be unique and tailored to you and your partners tastes. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing thanks to all of our vendors and the SRS staff. All of our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful the space is and how much they loved the view. We would absolutely have our wedding reception here again and would recommend this space to anyone.

Bridgepoint 

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Up to 60 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

The Bridgepoint event space is a 2,500 sq. ft. renovated roofdeck in DUMBO Brooklyn that has breathtaking views of the Manhattan Skyline and both the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. This contemporary build is a stark contrast from some of our rustic offerings which features, white marble tile with grey, black and gold tones throughout.

After our Upper East Side ceremony, our wedding guests took the ferry to Dumbo and enjoyed the cocktail hour at Bridgepoint Rooftop. And while they loved the Dumbo Loft for our reception, I think the rooftop view was the hit of the day. This space is all marble inside and truly beautiful. Between that and the city views, we did basically zero decor for this space. There are some nice bistro lights already set up on the rooftop patio. There was plenty of space for our caterers to set up several food tables and our bartenders to set up a bar table. We brought in some hightop tables for both the indoor and outdoor spaces. There was potential for rain so we did have to book a tent at the last minute (unexpected, awful expense), but we ended up not needing it! Just be aware there is no awning or anything in the event of rain and we knew we'd have too many people for just the indoor space. The BK Venues folks were absolutely fantastic and communicative. They gave us a deal for booking both the Rooftop and Dumbo Loft! Bridgepoint Rooftop was amazing, and really added such a fun and special variety to the events of the day. Thanks BK Venues!!!

Le District 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Up to 1500 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Perfectly suited for casual corporate gatherings, romantic waterfront engagement parties, or lavish prix fixe dinners, each of our spaces uniquely caters to your event's character. Create your distinctive moment with us.

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.
