10/10 venue if you're looking to have your wedding at a restaurant. We were looking for a venue that felt elevated yet approachable, that actually had good food and good service, a...
nd could accommodate our guest count at a reasonable rate. I did not think all of those things were possible in combination in NYC, but they nailed it. From planning to execution, their team was professional, responsive, accommodating, and knowledgeable (shoutout to Tegwyth!). Our wedding day went off without a hitch, the service and food were incredible, and our guests just had the best time.
Also, the location has insane views of Manhattan, which made for amazing first look photos at Gantry Park across the street, and the interior also photographs very well. I cannot recommend it enough!

American Brass is truly a diamond in the rough as far as wedding venues in New York go. The restaurant is large enough to accommodate our 90 guests with enough space to host all po...
rtions of the ceremony/reception under one roof. It is perfectly located right on the water, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but with the most beautiful view of the New York skyline. We knew the food would be good after having had dinner at the restaurant once previously, but AB went above and beyond and the quality and quantity of everything they put out was perfect, from the passed canapes all the way through dessert (shout out to their in-house dessert chef who made all of the desserts including our custom wedding cake). We did not have a planner or day-of coordinator but Michael, the co-owner, and Tegwyth, the director of events, held our hand through every step and made us feel so comfortable and secure. The entire staff was so lovely and accommodating and AB was so flexible on a handful of requests that were outside of their normal scope. If i could do it all over again I'd choose American Brass every time - and the price was right, too!

Our wedding at American Brass exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we began planning, Teg and the entire team made the experience seamless, thoughtful, and completely...
stress-free. Every detail was handled with such care and professionalism, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our day.
The food was absolutely incredible, and our guests are still talking about it. Everyone raved about the beautiful ambiance, the outstanding service, and how attentive the staff was throughout the entire evening. In fact, not one guest ever had to leave their seat to get a drink—the service was simply unreal.
It is rare to find a venue that delivers beyond what you imagined, but American Brass did exactly that. The warmth, hospitality, and dedication of the entire staff made such an impact on us and our guests, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding unforgettable.
We will forever recommend American Brass to anyone looking for a truly exceptional venue. Thank you, Teg and the entire American Brass team, for creating memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

My husband and I chose American Brass for our wedding day and I would 100000% do it all over again. When we were researching locations, we came here for dinner and knew we found ou...
r spot.
Reasons to choose this amazing place:
- Very transparent with their costs
- Whole restaurant buy out
- Flexible with packages (can tailor to exactly what you want)
- Amazing food (been told by multiple guests that this is the best wedding food they’ve ever had)
- Fair pricing
- Beautiful interior design, you do not need a lot of decor if you don’t want
- Great communication
- Day of coordinator
We already know how expensive and stressful wedding planning is. So many people asked me how it was going and never once did I stress because Tegweth and Michael are professionals that will get the job done. Usually with a traditional banquet hall, you need to hire out table cloths, glassware, cutlery. You’ll have extra fees with catering, hiring staff. Not with this.
All the staff went above and beyond to make our day so special. At first, we weren’t sure if we even wanted to have a wedding. But our night was everything we wanted and more and there was not a single amount of regret. I would do it all over again if I could.

We were pleased with American Brass (AB) from the start. They had pricing listed online and their staff was always transparent about costs.
The venue has excellent food and lots o...
f options for everyone. The view is gorgeous and the restaurant decor is so cute - the beauty of the venue itself is such a great starting point to make decorating a lot easier. Tegwyth and Michael are super involved and responsive. They also have a list of vendors they've worked with who are super helpful.
Servers/staff are so friendly and accomodating, they kept checking in on us all night.
Amazing venue, so so glad we chose them. We highly recommend!! They really made the whole night so special for us.
