Bank Street Events
A magnificent art-deco building transformed
We had a wonderful experience using Bank Street Events for our wedding venue on August 12, 2023. Nikki, Lauren and the entire team made everything easy from the beginning. Having the delicious food all available in house as well as planning services for our flowers, centerpieces and favors took so much guesswork out of the planning phase. We knew right away that our visions were aligned with Nikki and that we were in good hands, she’s a true professional. The wedding itself came out beautiful and went off without a hitch. We had a waiter bringing us food, water and drinks the whole time and of course Lauren was there every step of the way making sure we were in the right places at the right times. The venue is also perfect for a dance party and the confetti cannon at the end of the night was a great touch! We can’t recommend Bank Street Events enough.
We recently celebrated our wedding at Bank Street Events on 10/22/22. From the moment we walked in, we knew this is where we needed to have our wedding. The high ceilings and unique layout just felt at home for us. We actually didn’t look at any other wedding venue. From the warm customer service to full service event planning (ie: making our flower arrangements, bouquets, and bootineers) it felt so easy. We knew that our non-traditional wedding would “shock” our families, but they loved it more than they ever thought they would.
During our 2 year wedding planning, the staff at Bank Street Events appeared to have a turnaround as the event coordinator changed a few times/covid19 impact. Once the owner Nikki found out that we began to feel uneasy about our wedding planning (due to the staff turnaround) she immedietly stepped in and took control of our wedding. While she doesn’t work all weddings, she assured us that she would be present from start to finish to ensure comfort on our wedding day. All in all, she made all of our wedding dreams come true.
We still can’t believe how perfect it was. We chose to have a “cocktail” style wedding where the food literally didn’t stop for five hours. Our layout was a combination of hightop tables, lounge couches, long banquet tables, and even hightop tables on the outdoor patio. We chose all types of food that not only fit our personalities, but that everyone can enjoy. The food was phenomenal. Nikki ensured that we (bride and groom) were always fed and always had a drink in our hand. We HIGHLY recommend the sushi station as our guests are still raving about it. Wherever Nikki felt like she can add a table to comfort guests, she did. Whatever food we wanted added (ie: to-go burgers and fries: warm pretzels as guests left our wedding) she added. She didn’t stop imoving the whole night.
PS- The surprise confetti cannon from the balcony was the PERFECT touch, and better than a sparkler send off. If you have your wedding here, you MUST do this.
Thank you Nikki and the Bank Street Events staff for executing the perfect day. We are immensely grateful.
