  • A NYC Wedding Gem!

    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 our wedding at Sound River Studios and we couldn't have been happier! The venue allowed us to set it up exactly as we wanted and our guests couldn't stop commenting about how beautiful the view was. Una was extremely helpful throughout the process. She was very responsive to our many questions and allowed us to come see the venue quite a few times. During the wedding she and her staff helped make it an amazing day!

  • The perfect venue!

    SRS was the perfect venue for our wedding. Our families were so impressed with the location, the gorgeous views across the river, and the ability to have an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. Everyone we worked with was professional and responsive and willing to go the extra mile - especially Una! We had the perfect day and highly recommend!!

    we are so happy we landed on SRS as our wedding venue and we'd choose it again every time. we were sold by the convenient location, huge and customizable space, outdoor area with stunning views of the city, flexible and communicative staff, and una, who proved to be the most efficient and supportive planner we could have imagined. with her guidance, the day came together like a dream
