Venue Nightmare!

Finding the perfect venue in Manhattan has been impossible! Here are some we've looked into.. and ruled out:


Gramercy Park Hotel

Plus: Use of the gorgeous private roof club for ceremony and reception. Perfect indoor-outdoor, club casual environment.

Minus: Can only fit 75 people for the ceremony and the minimum for food spending is $40K!








The Lighthouse at Pier 60

Plus: Riverside venue with splendid views of the Hudson River. Interior has floor-to-cieling windows for constant exposure to the city views.

Minus: While the venue boasts a full package and an on-site coordinator to handle all details of the wedding day, the price is way out of our league. Also is located right next to Pier 59, a studio I've spent most of my career working in.


Public

Plus: Reasonable price and restaurant is so minimal but beautiful we wouldn't need to bring in many decorations. Maximum guest count is 120 which is doable. Can host the ceremony outside in a small patio.

Minus: Guests would need to be split between several different rooms within the restaurant so the night wouldn't feel like one cohesive party.
