Manhattan Magic: Opulence at Every Turn
The Plaza Hotel – Upper East Side
Iconic, timeless, and dripping in Gilded Age glamour. If you’re after a classic luxury experience that screams old-world Manhattan, The Plaza delivers on every level. Think: black-tie ballroom affairs, crystal chandeliers, and lush florals.
620 Loft & Garden – Midtown
This venue is a dream for modern romantics who want the city skyline as their backdrop. The rooftop garden with views of St. Patrick’s Cathedral offers intimacy without sacrificing grandeur.
The Metropolitan Club – Upper East Side
For couples seeking European-style formality in the heart of the city, this private club offers marble staircases, ornate ceilings, and the kind of quiet luxury that never goes out of style.
🗝 WDE Tip: Manhattan venues often come with strict vendor guidelines and minimal load-in time. Our NYC wedding planner team handles all communication and scheduling with your venue and vendors so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Downtown Cool: Tribeca, SoHo & the West Village
Tribeca Rooftop – Tribeca
Sleek, open, and endlessly versatile. This space gives us all the modern industrial vibes while still feeling upscale. Perfect for bold floral installations and custom floorplans.
The High Line Hotel – Chelsea
Nestled near the West Village, this venue feels like a hidden European garden. Rich with character and history, it’s ideal for couples who love moody lighting and editorial photos.
Capitale – Bowery
A dramatic choice for lovers of architecture and high drama. Soaring ceilings, Corinthian columns, and a marble dance floor make this venue unforgettable.
WDE Tip: Lower Manhattan venues often face tight street access and limited storage. With our full-service planning, we coordinate day-of logistics, deliveries, and breakdown so you can enjoy every moment stress-free. Explore our Services
Brooklyn Beauty: Williamsburg, Park Slope, DUMBO & Brooklyn Heights
Weylin – Williamsburg
Formerly the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, this jaw-dropping space is pure grandeur with a side of edge. Think stained glass, frescoed domes, and upscale boho vibes.
The Green Building – Gowanus / Park Slope
A raw space with endless styling potential. It’s beloved for candlelit receptions, hanging installations, and cozy-chic Brooklyn energy.
1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge – DUMBO
If sustainability and luxury are top priorities, this is your match. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the skyline and eco-conscious everything make this venue a millennial favorite.
🪩 WDE Tip: Brooklyn’s charm comes with quirks—like unpredictable loading zones and narrow streets. Our team is seasoned in designing high-end weddings in Brooklyn with logistics in mind. Check out our Portfolio
Unexpected Gems in Queens
The Foundry – Long Island City
An architectural masterpiece with exposed brick, ivy-covered courtyards, and a rich industrial history. It’s the ultimate blank canvas for high-concept wedding designs.
Terrace on the Park – Flushing Meadows
Originally built for the World’s Fair, this venue offers 360° views and modern renovations with event-friendly layouts. Great for couples with larger guest counts who still want upscale vibes.
Astoria World Manor – Astoria
While a bit under the radar, this venue delivers timeless luxury with customizable ballrooms and extensive vendor flexibility.
🛠 WDE Tip: For high-end wedding venues NYC couples might overlook, Queens provides space, value, and a unique edge—perfect for style-savvy clients who think outside the borough.
