Studio 450
Address: Studio 450, 450 W 31st Street (The Garment District)
What Makes It So Unique: The trip to
10th Avenue is totally worth it. The all-white venue features stark
floors, walls and bathrooms for a space that's perfectly bright and
airy. It just goes to show how much you can personalize this venue to
fit your taste, whatever it may be. The Studio even gives you a couple
of different space options for your ceremony—including a spacious main
room that can be closed off for smaller
wedding party. Another is the
studio's rooftop terrace—a quintessentially Manhattan space that faces
the famed bright red 'New Yorker' sign.
How It's Priced: Starting at $5800
Maximum Guest Capacity: 250
Dumbo Loft Address: Dumbo Loft, 155 Water Street (DUMBO)
What Makes It So Unique: Whereas tons of
other venues have preferred caterers and florists (and may even charge
you extra to use professionals that are outside of their network), no
suggestions or recommendations are thrown into the mix at Dumbo. Sure,
the sheer number of event planners, DJs, and food options that are
available to you may be a little daunting without a preferred list. But
there's a good chance you'll enjoy the freedom of being able to
completely customize the space. A chic outdoor space sits directly
outside the venue, with stairs on the side of the loft that lead to an
intimate seating area. But be advised: the outdoor space isn't exactly
private. You have to go through the city to get permission have your
wedding ceremony out there.
How It's Priced: Starting at approximately $2000
Maximum Guest Capacity: 200
The Foundry Address: The Foundry, 42-38 9th Street (Long Island City)
What Makes It So Unique: One look at the
meticulously pruned outdoor reception space behind the facility shows
the ridiculous the level of detail that has been put into making the
space unique. The stunning views of the Queensboro Bride certainly
aren't too shabby, either. Ivy lines the indoor and outdoor perfectly
faded brick walls of the space for a natural look that can easily be
incorporated into your
wedding decor, like Sasha and Oliver did with
their ultra-lush, organic wedding on the property. Another awesome
feature? The not-quite-rooftop, not-quite-reception room above the main
receiving room. It's perfect for late night snacks, s'mores, scotch
tastings and a variety of other off-beat activities your guests will
love.
How It's Priced: Starting at $6700
Maximum Guest Capacity: 200
Gary's Loft Address: Gary's Loft, 28 W 36th St (Midtown)
What Makes It So Unique: Gary's Loft has
such a homey feel, it's hard to believe that you're smack dab in the
middle of Midtown. One plus-side to the venue's central location: It's
unparalleled view of The Empire State Building. While the former garment
factory venue boasts breathtaking views and large windows, the city
space also features a vintage working kitchen, built-in bookshelves and a
spacious living room. So essentially, it's like having your wedding in a rustic, 50s-inspired cabin, only better.
Maximum Guest Capacity: 150
How it's priced: $5600
Tribeca Rooftop Address: Tribeca Rooftop, 10 Desbrosses Street (Tribeca)
What Makes It So Unique: This
family-centric atmosphere is something Tribeca Rooftop prides itself on
(and is a little surprising considering its huge size). The constant
attention and hospitality we experienced at Tribeca Rooftop is
definitely one of the reasons people return, despite it being one of the
more lavish venues on our list. Another, of course, is the view. On a
clear day, you can practically see into the office buildings at One
World Trade, which is located about 10 minutes away by train. Walk to
the other side of the venue and a beautiful view of the Jersey City
skyline is suddenly in view. And then of course, to the east, are the
magnificent buildings that make up downtown Manhattan. In fact, you can
have your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in different areas
of the room to give each of the photos a different background.
How It's Priced: Starting at $160 per guest (menu, staff, open bar, tables, linens and stage lighting included)
Maximum Guest Capacity: 400
Smack Mellon Gallery
Address: Smack Mellon, 92 Plymouth Street (DUMBO)
What Makes It So Unique: With towering
windows and plenty of natural light, this coveted Brooklyn warehouse is
located right on the water. Aside from 40-foot stone beams and a
to-die-for location, Smack Mellon becomes that much more unique since
the venue is normally used as an art exhibition space. Created in 2000,
Smack Mellon gives up-and-coming mid-career and female artists the
opportunity to showcase their work in a highly-acclaimed gallery; making
for an event space art-afficionados will love. Be warned though — the
space doesn't come equipped with air conditioning; so August brides may
want to avoid it altogether.
How It's Priced: starting at $4000
Maximum Guest Capacity: 75
Greenpoint Loft Address: Greenpoint Loft, 67 West St (Greenpoint)
What Makes It So Unique: Despite all the
industrial venues on this list, it really doesn't get any more raw than
the the 5,000-square-feet of space that is Greenpoint Loft. Though the
owners have only been hosting
industrial wedding in the open venue since 2013, the
historic loft was built in the early 20th century and served as a metal
factory before it became the event space that it is today. Original
wood pillars and rafters give the space an airy feel, while brick walls
make foran raw space that's super-customizable. Our favorite detail: The
loft's stunning view of the Manhattan skyline along with original wood
floors!
How It's Priced: starting at 4000
Maximum Guest Occupancy: 245
Midtown Loft and Terrace Address: Midtown Loft and Terrace, 267 5th Ave (Midtown)
What Makes It So Unique: The
Midtown Loft and Terrace is yet another blank space perfect for creating
a customized reception. The family-owned, Old World-inspired space
features large glass windows and vintage furniture along with an
impressive roof that boasts views of midtown Manhattan. What's more, the
terrace features pretty potted plants and vines throughout the outdoor
space along with a cozy wood-and-brick lounge that's the ultimate hang
out spot post-ceremony.
How It's Priced: starting at $5000
Maximum Guest Occupancy: 300
The Green Building Address: The Green Building, 452 Union St (Caroll Gardens)
What Makes It So Unique: Brick and wood
details make this warehouse a favorite among in-the-know couples; plus
the space is large enough to hold up to 225 guests and features gilded
decor like gold vintage chandeliers. Another sweet detail? The outdoor
space is adjacent to the venue's main room, so you can easily create two
separate celebration spaces that don't feel too disconnected. There's
even enough outdoor space to accommodate several food trucks, so you can
treat guests to a unique, Smorgasburg-type reception.
How It's Priced: Starting at $3000
Maximum Guest Occupancy: 225
