Choosing Bryant Park Grill as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we ever made. From the beginning, Emma and everyone at the Grill were very responsive and helpful. They worked with us to ensure we were able to do everything we wanted, and the entire staff was so accommodating every time we interacted with them—including the event team, hosts, bartenders, and wait staff. They welcomed us well in advance of our wedding to see the space whenever we needed, provided a phenomenal food and drink tasting experience, and even let us come in to try their delicious specialty cocktail options.
Moreover, the space itself is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly situated within an iconic New York landmark. You simply cannot beat the views of Bryant Park surrounded in all directions by Manhattan’s skyscrapers. Bryant Park Grill allows you to have the best of all worlds: indoor space, outdoor space, a beautiful green space, and the New York skyline. It was also the perfect size for our 70 guests.
The day of the wedding was perfect. Diane, the onsite event captain for the Grill, was fantastic to work with and made sure our wedding ran smoothly and was perfectly executed. All of the staff who worked our wedding were kind and professional. The food and drinks were all fantastic. Months later, we are still hearing from our guests about how much they enjoyed the food. And when rain threatened our outdoor ceremony the day of the wedding, everyone remained flexible and gave us as much time as possible to make last-minute decisions about whether to move our ceremony indoors. Luckily the rain held off just long enough for us to have our ceremony and cocktail hour on the Grill’s rooftop terrace, which is truly an unbeatable space with gorgeous views.
We cannot recommend Bryant Park Grill enough. For everything that was included with the venue, we felt the price was very reasonable. The entire staff could not have been better to work with, especially Emma and Diane. When you choose Bryant Park Grill, you can feel assured you’re choosing a team of dedicated and talented professionals who know how to run a flawless event and will work with you at every stage to put together your perfect day. Our entire wedding was better than we could have imagined, and Bryant Park Grill was a huge part of making it a complete success.
I cannot even begin to express how lucky we were to have our wedding at Bryant Park Grill. It was the most magical day, made even more perfect by the absolutely incredible team at BPG. They took such amazing care of us through every step of the planning process - not only was it stress free, it was so much fun! Linda, Diane and their entire team are absolute pros. They took great care of our vendors, making every detail seamless. I also want to acknowledge how wonderful they made the experience for our guests. All dietary needs and restrictions were accommodated. They also took extra care to attend to a few ADA needs we required. Long story short - they will go above and beyond.
Another example of this is the fact that they managed to change our entire ceremony set up in under 10 minutes! We were originally going to have our ceremony on the outdoor rooftop. However, mother nature was not on our side the day of our wedding. The whole team worked together to move our entire ceremony indoors before our guests even arrived. They created a truly special space for us that couldn't have been more beautiful.
I've been seeing on the news lately that Bryant Park Grill's lease may not renewed. This would be an unimaginable loss. Not only are they an iconic Manhattan wedding venue, they provide exemplary food and service seven days a week to all who visit. If you are looking to have the quintessential NYC wedding experience, look no further. If they are still able to take wedding bookings, please give them your consideration. I feel so fortunate to have been able to get married at this stunning venue, and I hope many more get to experience the same magic.
Working with Alex at Bryant Park Grill was a fabulous experience. She and the team are professional, detail-oriented, and collaborative - the perfect mix! My client had the best time at her Welcome Event, and I look forward to many more collaborations!
BPG was everything we could have ever asked for in a venue. Our guests are still raving about the food, and service, and from the very beginning, the team worked with us to accomplish everything we asked for (even including our dogs!). Special shoutouts to Kristi and Diane (and all of the amazing staff), who made sure that everything went perfectly. BPG is a beautiful space in the heart of Bryant Park that anyone looking for a NYC wedding venue should consider. 10/10 recommend, we have no complaints!
The main feedback from our guests was that staff were exceptionally attentive, that the food and drinks were amazing and that ours was the best wedding they have ever been to. Linda Belgodere, our main contact, went above and beyond. She and the staff are the only wedding planners you need. Diane, who ran the show on our wedding day, took care of details that made the experience that much more enjoyable. Thankyou Bryant Park Grill staff for making our wedding magical.
BPG is beautiful and iconic. I'd request Kristi as your sales contact if possible, and avoid Alex. And - obviously - get everything not just in writing but in the contract. The food and drinks were great and it was the perfect size for our party. A really intimate garden feel in the center of midtown Manhattan chaos. Dianne and the event staff are absolutely best in class bar none.
My husband and I were over the moon with our experience at Bryant Park Grill! The team was so supportive and helpful, and truly made our day amazing. The rooftop was incredible - highly recommend using the rooftop open-air if you can, the surroundings made for a magical cocktail hour (not to mention the incredible food, our friends couldn't stop raving!) There was always a waiter to help anyone who needed anything, and they were so kind to my 3/6 year old nieces as well. The amount of food and drink that our guests enjoyed was truly out of this world, and the quality of food and service was top notch.
Diane made sure our day was stress free, but checked in regularly to make sure things stayed on track. Before the wedding day, Kristi gave us the most amazing tasting, and helped realize our vision. Her energy, honesty, and genuine excitement for us was a big part of what made Bryant Park Grill feel like the right choice. I highly recommend making a visit to Bryant Park Grill for your wedding reception considerations. Everyone loved it!
We had a rehearsal dinner at Bryant Park Grill for 85 people. Everything was perfect from the time we entered to the end of the party. The room was set up exactly as we discussed. The weather was perfect for the tent. We loved the cocktail hour food and drinks. Dinner was delicious, as well as dessert. The service was also excellent the whole night. Tom, our captain, was very responsive. He checked in with us, and we adjusted the timing to fit our schedule. The evening could not have been better. My guests and I were completely impressed with the venue. Emma, our event planner, was the best. She was helpful every time we had a question and was so easy to work with. I highly recommend Bryan Park Grill for any occasion!
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and admiration for the incredible job that BPG did during our wedding on September 29, 2023. We got married during the Manhattan shutdown / flooding in the City, but because of BPG's exceptional service, attention to detail and unwavering dedication to our wedding it became a special and wonderful event!!! Our guests are still raving about the food, drinks and the quality of service from that evening. Many loved Bryant Park Grill cuisine so much they went back the day after our wedding for brunch.
From the beginning, Kristi's professionalism, open communication, responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our requests made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She listened attentively to our vision and preferences and made everything easy and fun. Diane was the wedding coordinator that evening and she was wonderful! She kept things moving smoothly, fun and was always attentive to my needs as a Bride. We are so grateful to have worked with both Kristi and Diane at BPG.
I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a wedding vendor who is professional and genuinely committed to making their special day remarkable & memorable. Their dedication was truly exceptional and it shined through in every aspect of their work. We are forever grateful for the remarkable memories that they helped create.
We could not have been happier with our choice to host our wedding at Bryant Park Grill. We have to start by acknowledging Kristi and Diane who made our day absolutely incredible. We knew we were in good hands the moment we had our walkthrough with Kristi, all the way up to her encouragement right before I walked down the aisle. Diane was so kind, professional, and went above and beyond the day of. She absolutely blew us away with her expertise and by taking care of every last detail - we didn’t have to worry about a single thing thanks to her. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was, how incredible the food was, and how everything ran so smoothly with food and bar service and the flow of the day. It was an absolutely perfect evening, and we can’t thank BPG enough for making our day so special, memorable, and fun. They exceeded every expectation!
We had our reception at BPG in April 2023 and it was truly the perfect day! We worked with both Dominic and Linda to coordinate our vendors and setup and they were both amazing. Both were very responsive and easy to work with. The venue is the perfect aesthetic in addition to being spacious, clean and beautiful. The food and drinks were amazing, all of our guests raved about it! We can't wait to return for an anniversary dinner!
Kristi, Tom and the entire team at Bryant Park Grill - We are at a loss for words as to how incredible our engagement party turned WEDDING was. WE DID IT!!!! The tent and hidden chuppah were executed flawlessly, people are raving about the food and the entire night. We cannot thank you enough. You truly made all of our dreams come true, and we knew this was where our wedding was meant to be.
We are so truly grateful for all of the patience, hard work, and excitement from the BPG team. Everything unfolded exactly how we imagined and exceeded all of our expectations. We will remember our wedding forever and don't think we will ever come down from this feeling!!!
Book this venue!!! I had my wedding at the Bryant Park Grill two weeks ago and it was incredible. Unfortunately, our original venue closed down 6 months before our wedding date and the staff at the Bryant Park Grill took over and made our wedding day incredible! Kristi was so helpful, kind, and patient with us and guided us every step of the way. Day of the staff was amazing and so nice and everything went exactly according to plan. Our guests raved about the food and the space. 11/10 would recommend!
I had my wedding here a week ago and it was the best day of my life! Everyone raved about the food from both the cocktail hour and seated dinner. The open bar featured some of the best of the best and the space itself is simply stunning. You really get two different feels if you utilize both the tented garden and the dinning room. Kristi was a god send through the entire process and answered all of my questions SO promptly, you would think I was the only wedding she was planning. Day of, Diane was equally amazing. If i could do it all over again, Id pick BPG 10 out of 10 times!
Could not recommend BPG more for a venue. Beautiful space, centrally located in NYC, food/drinks were delicious, and very easy to work with. Dominick, Tom, and the rest of the staff took care of everything for us day of to make our day run smoothly. They were professional but also let us customize the day to make it our own. Our guests all raved about the venue as well, including the beauty and layout of the space, location, food, and drinks. Would highly recommend selecting the Bryant Park Grill for anyone who is looking for a classic NYC wedding and good value for your money!
Bryant Park Grill has it all! Beautiful, iconic NYC location with amazing food, perfect layout for any event - stunning indoor and outdoor space, and amazing staff. We had our wedding at Bryant Park Grill and it was PERFECT in every way. I have nothing but praise for this venue and staff. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guests are still raving about the wedding weeks later saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Tom and Alex and the team at BPG are superb. What a night!!!
Choosing Bryant Park Grill as our venue was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process, and we would rate our experience 10 stars if possible! It uniquely captures both the classic New York city essence, while the beautiful rooftop also brings in the nature & outdoor elements we were dreaming of, not to mention the iconic NY Public Library backdrop. Even though we were in the center of Manhattan, it still felt very private and peaceful. Kristi was exceptional through the planning process; she was highly responsive (often responding to emails late at night and on weekends), professional, and flexible with our vendors. She always put us at ease, and her years of expertise were very apparent! We are very grateful to have had her on our team! Diane did a flawless job leading the BPG team day-of to execute our vision for the wedding. I was a fairly detail-oriented / type-A bride, and day-of everything went absolutely perfect with zero hiccups, exceeding our expectations, and we know how much of this was due to Diane running everything so well in the background and Kristi's work ahead of the wedding day. All of our guests raved about the venue and especially the food, which was stellar given BPG is also a great restaurant.
My husband and I have nothing but the best things to say about Bryant Park Grill and their impeccable staff. When I say they strive for excellence, I almost feel like its an understatement. We worked with Kristi and Tom, the event coordinators to make our big day happen and they didn't disappoint. Both were so professional and helpful.
Our wedding guests, who I must say are very tough critics all raved about how beautiful the ceremony was, how delicious the food and drinks were during cocktail hour. How fresh the dinner was and the entire look and feeling, the word used most was MAGICAL!
My husband and I are to blessed to have found such a wonderful venue and if we could do it all again we would. We will definitely be recommending it to everyone who is having a big event and anyone who just wants to enjoy a delicious meal and be surrounded by true professionals. Thanks BPG, you're the best!
One year later and I still reminisce daily about our wedding day at Bryant Park Grill. It will be a day that will go down in memory as one of the most beautiful, fulfilling days myself and my husband have experienced. There is something special about getting married at Bryant Park Grill - it must be beauty of the park juxtaposed with the quintessential skyscrapers of NYC. We didn't think a NYC wedding would be possible, until we found the hidden gem of Bryant Park Grill!
We will be forever grateful to Bryant Park Grill, especially Kristi and Tom, for their professionalism, kindness, creativity, expertise, and understanding. True character is put to the test when times get tough, and Bryant Park Grill constantly delivered, especially during the crazy times of Covid. The team truly puts all their heart and energy into ensuring your event is everything you imagined and more. Kristi was with us throughout the entire process, from ensuring we were on track with our checklist to helping with details for the venue on the big day, and she was tremendous! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
If you are thinking of Bryant Park Grill as your wedding venue - do it! At least put it on your list of venues to visit. You will fall in love!
We had our wedding at the Bryant Park Grill in July 2023 and if I could give this venue more than 5 stars, I honestly would. Not only is this venue quintessential NYC vibes, classy, elegant, and stunning... the service was incredible both during planning and the actual event. I need to excuse to throw another party cause I want to plan one again at BPG. If you want an iconic wedding your guests will remember - do it at the BPG!
Emma was phenomenal from the very beginning. She is the most responsive and thoughtful, and she makes the entire wedding planning process so much better! We can’t thank her enough for a great wedding.
Kristi at the Bryant Park Grill did a terrific job with our wedding. I was so impressed with her responsiveness, attention to detail, skill, and expertise. She’s a tour de force of customer service. She helped us plan from start to finish. The entire planning process was approximately 15 months and I probably sent her a million emails with my neurotic thoughts and questions but she never tired and always responded quickly and with great insight. She is really amazing! She has so much experience planning weddings that she made it seem easy. She is probably juggling multiple events at the same time but she had a unique skill of making us feel like we were her only client and her top priority. You don’t even need to spend on a wedding planner because Kristi and Tom (the day of coordinator, also great) handle everything. 5 stars. Also, the venue is beautiful. We saved money on flowers because the greenery in the park, and the flowers on the roof top are so beautiful as-is. Our florist did a great job but we didn’t need too many flowers because the venue is so spectacular. If we could do it all over again, and I would still choose Bryant Park Grill.
Bryant Park Grill was the perfect backdrop for my garden-themed bridal shower. The space was visually stunning and the staff was extremely professional, welcoming, and detail-oriented. Our guests raved about the service, food, and decor. Not only did we have a wonderful time at the event, but the planning process was extremely smooth thanks to the Bryant Park Grill Team. Leading up to the event, we truly enjoyed working with Emma. She patiently and promptly answered all of our questions, as well as proactively proposed solutions along the way. I highly recommend choosing Bryant Park Grill for an event to remember!
5 stars all around!!! We absolutely loved having our rehearsal dinner at Bryant Park Grill. It was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing (our friends and family are still talking about it), and most importantly, the people working there are incredible. Kristi and Tom F. made sure our rehearsal dinner was flawless, and that my husband and I actually got to enjoy the event without any stress. From the moment we met with Kristi to walk through the restaurant we knew we were in good hands. There was not a single detail she did not think of, from the flow of cocktail hour to dinner, music, ambiance, lighting, room layout- it was incredible. Tom made sure the night of was flawless and he was two steps ahead of everything. Both of them even met with our 2 friends who were MCs for the night to go through the flow of speeches with the other details for the evening .. just so impressed!). Our friends and family left the dinner saying it felt like a wedding and we couldn’t be happier and more thankful to the BPG staff for everything. We highly recommend Bryant Park grill!
We fell in love with BPG pre-pandemic. And as the pandemic ensued, we had to postpone our date twice, and each time we made the heartbreaking decision to postpone our date, our contact Alex at BPG held our hand through it and made the transition feel easy and not as heartbreaking. Alex always met us with enthusiasm and excitement for our eventful big day and she was a great support. Our wedding day was completely magical and the best day of our lives. We loved the staff, especially Tom (captain), who made the evening so magical. BPG has the best NYC has to offer: beautiful garden/nature nestled in dramatic city scapes. My dream of a classic NYC wedding married well with my husband's love for nature. I could not imagine a better venue. As a bonus, the food was amazing! EVERY guest afterwards could not say enough about how great the food was. We cannot wait to go back for anniversary dinners!
We went to visit BPGrill one night in February and after meeting with Kristi and seeing the space we knew immediately we had to get married there! We were fortunate enough to lock in this iconic NYC venue for our wedding on 10/30/21. Our guest list was just under 100x people, given the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. In terms of planning, we were nervous about choosing not to work with an outside wedding coordinator since BPG (specifically Kristi Ohlin) had mentioned she and her team had everything covered. AND THEY REALLY DID! I can't even being to express how thankful I am for all of Kristi's help and expertise throughout our planning process! Kristi was incredibly responsive and recommended amazing vendors to work with throughout the way. The week leading up to our wedding we got to meet Tom. We immediately felt at ease! Between Tom and Kristi, my Husband and I knew every single thing would be covered and we could genuinely enjoy our wedding day.
Not only did both Tom and Kristi ensure every detail went as planned, they also made sure every single family member and guest was accommodated.
As far as the venue, it doesn't get much better than this. Aside from the iconic views and location, the food is unlike any food you'll ever have at wedding. It was amazing! All our guests could not get over how delicious everything was and how much they had to offer. The perks of having your reception at a restaurant like this. The BPGrill staff were all amazingly attentive as well and made sure everyone had what they needed at all times.
It was truly the most special night of our lives. We are so happy we chose Bryant Park Grill and we'll be forever grateful for all the help both Tom and Kristi, and the rest of the team provided us.
Honestly (and I know I am biased as I was hosting), but this is the best wedding venue I have ever been to. An absolute dream wedding if you have a chance to have it here. Not only were they incredibly accommodating after 3 date changes over 2 years due to Covid, but once I finally had my wedding this past weekend, it was absolutely flawless, especially thanks to Emma who worked with us over the planning and Tom who executed. The guests could not stop talking about the amazing food and impeccable service. Many claimed the best food/service they’ve ever had at a wedding (and this is coming from many people in the hospitality/alcohol/event catering industry). Besides that, the venue itself is iconic NY and an unforgettable magical space in the middle of Manhattan. You can’t go wrong choosing Bryant park as your venue.
We can't say enough wonderful things about Bryant Park Grill!!! SUPERB IN EVERY WAY!!! Our daughter's wedding was originally scheduled for October, 2020 but due to the pandemic we postponed the celebration until September, 2021. Since my husband and I were hosting the event, making this decision was not easy and, quite frankly, it was a heartbreak. However, thanks in huge part to Linda Belgodere in Special Events & Catering, we were able to change the date without any problem, ride the twists and turns of Covid restrictions, and finally have a long-awaited wedding more magnificent than we could have hoped for! Linda was patient, always available to answer our ever-changing inquiries, professional, easy to work with, incredibly flexible and accommodating, and downright fun to speak with! She always had wonderful suggestions and never pressured us. Everything she promised regarding the event set-up, flow, caliber and abundance of food, service, and more was delivered to perfection! Hats off to Tom who was on-site the day of the wedding to manage every single detail. A special nod to amazing chef Gadi Weinreich and his pastry chef too. More than a month after the wedding, our friends and family are still raving about the cocktail hour and dinner! The food was outstanding and the presentation was fantastic. Even our vegan and peanut-allergic guests were happily accommodated. The magical city allure of this iconic location wowed everyone and this magic was palpable throughout the evening! We lost count of how many guests commented that this was definitely the best wedding they’d ever attended! We received an exceptional level of personalized attention that's not always found or felt amidst the bustling of NYC. We truly had a PERFECT evening...a beautiful rooftop ceremony followed by a breathtaking cocktail hour (also on the rooftop) overlooking the park, an elegant dinner in the garden, followed by nonstop dancing and scrumptious desserts in the grill dining room. This was undoubtedly the quintessential NYC wedding that not only my daughter and son in law had dreamed of, but that my husband and I had envisioned as well! Thank you for creating this incredibly brilliant memory for us!
We cannot say enough good things about Bryant Park Grill and the events team. Tom and Emma were so helpful every step of the way and made everything better than we could have imagined. We didn't end up using a planner or day of coordinator and the team here took on that responsibility without batting an eyelash. No question went unanswered and the teams attention to detail was unparalleled. They put my mind at ease for everything on the day of our wedding and just like all of the other reviews agree that this is the best venue in the city, no question.
When we first put down our deposit to reserve Bryant Park Grill as our wedding venue, we did so with great apprehension. It was summer 2020 and NYC was in the throes of the early COVID crisis. Our list of concerns knew no end, but we knew that we wanted a beautiful NYC wedding and knew that BPG was a special venue that could help us achieve our wedding dreams.
Fast forward to 2021, and we could not be happier with our selection of BPG as our wedding venue. Emma, Tom, and the BPG team certainly had their work cut out for them… between constantly shifting COVID guidelines and lots of complex and competing interests and stakeholders, they handled themselves with extraordinary professionalism and poise.
They spared no effort in accommodating our every request, from the floor plan to the food to small details like ensuring all the linens were steamed and wrinkle-free. Our guests were positively floored with how gorgeous the event was and we were completely stunned that every single detail went exactly as planned. It was a truly magical night and, looking back, we can’t think of a single thing we would have changed. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful to Emma, Tom, and the entire Bryant Park Grill staff.
Best venue in NYC hands down! We absolutely loved working with Emma and Tom, they were fantastic and super helpful. They made sure our vision came to life and made it all happen seamlessly. Emma answered all of our questions and was very responsive via email. We are so happy with how our wedding turned out!
It was the perfect wedding.
Weeks after our wedding, our guests continued to rave about the venue, the food, the staff, the location, the service. Some guests loved it so much they returned to the restaurant for lunch. Our older guests have said that it was the best wedding they have been to and I know Bryant Park made that possible.
Our guests were most impressed by the hors d’oeuvre service. They raved about the quality and quantity. Guests have also commented on how accommodating the staff were with our guests requests. I heard that a guest said he wanted a latke without the smoked salmon and minutes later one was brought. Little things like that make a big difference. It was so good!
The seating arrangement was also perfect. Even though it was a small wedding it never felt empty. You did an excellent job utilizing the space to make it feel full.
It was the perfect evening. The best night of our lives. Thank you to you and to the staff for making it perfect.
We only have amazing things to say about our experience with BPG. I cannot recommend them enough. The food was incredible, the service perfect. The actual venue and location is amazing and requires very little additional florals or decorations. Having a hotel suite across the street was so helpful. Working with Emma and Tom was a dream, we really can't say enough good things about them. They were incredibly responsive, patient and accommodating. Get married here- you will not regret it.
We had our wedding at the Bryant Park Grill in June 2021 in a full book out of the venue. The entire night was outstanding! We received so many compliments on the delicious food and the team at the venue. Leading up to the wedding, Emma and Tom did such a wonderful job putting our stresses at ease to ensure that our special day was everything we wanted. They delivered beyond our dreams! I would definitely recommend Bryant Park Grill as a venue for a wedding - we are so glad we had ours there!
Our wedding was amazing. I fell in love with BPG as soon as I walked in. The venue is so beautiful and it really “wows” people -especially if they are from out of town. The food was incredible, from cocktail hour to our entrees to the dessert buffet, everything was so tasty. Even the food snobs of my family had no complaints (which doesn’t happen often!) The bartenders made our cocktails perfectly, definitely gave a good pour ;). My favorite part of our wedding is the comfort I got from the Events Manager , Emma. She was absolutely amazing, she answered all of my emails right away, even down to the silliest of questions and requests. Emma was so helpful and so delightful to work with. She really helped put my mind at ease throughout this otherwise stressful process! Tom, the event captain the night of our wedding was amazing. I credit our party going smoothly the night of thanks to him, his veteran presence was definitely felt. We’ve gotten nothing but compliments from our guests. We are very happy with the outcome of our wedding!
Simply the best. We had an amazing wedding here. Dominic and Tom are fantastic to work with, food was incredible, staff soo nice….your guests will rave about your wedding if you do it here!
Bryant Park Grill, Linda and their staff were amazing. Working with them through the pandemic was amazing. In an incredibly stressful time they were always available to speak to us through all the changing rules and guidelines. The food was amazing and were incredibly accommodating to certain dietary needs that we couldn't be more thankful for (Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian). They were incredibly professional and prepared for any of our questions on requests for our big day. It was amazing working with them every step of the way. Our wedding was perfect and could not recommend Bryant park grill more.
We love Bryant Park Grill! It is such a beautiful venue that has a quintessential NYC feel. You are in the middle of a big city, but overlooking a gorgeous park, which gives it an incredible atmosphere - both romantic and magical. With a second floor terrace, clear top dinner tent and indoor restaurant space, it is the perfect indoor / outdoor option within NYC. We have had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID, but the BPG team, especially Dominick has been so wonderful to work with throughout all of the ups and downs this year. We have really appreciated all of his help moving the dates and would highly recommend this venue not only for the location and atmosphere, but the incredible events team who make the entire process enjoyable!
It can not be said enough how thankful and excited we are to have picked Bryant Park Grill as our wedding venue! It is everything we could have asked for in a venue and more, from the location to the service. It is no wonder the Grill gets amazing reviews from couples, guests, and vendors.
The location is quintessential New York City, with the beautiful scenery of the park, library, and surrounding buildings. It is absolutely stunning. We didn’t think our number one wish of having a wedding in NYC was financially feasible, but Bryant Park Grill made our dreams a reality!
And the service is absolutely hands down the best. We knew we picked the right venue when COVID came around. True service is put to the test when unfortunate events arise, and Bryant Park delivered. We had to unfortunately postpone our wedding, but Kristi and team were right there supporting us. We are beyond grateful! The team understands your wedding is one of the most treasured events of your life and will do the right thing to ensure your event/event planning is a joyous time. No fees, no pressure, no stress with Bryant Park Grill! How many couples can say that during this time?!
Bryant Park Grill is a hidden gem!
We wanted a venue in the city with lots of indoor/outdoor versatility. We were thrilled with the beautiful roof and side patio options and are even happier to be at BPG now that outdoor dining is preferred to feel safe. No matter what happens, we could at least proceed with a smaller outdoor event now. After COVID postponements, we could not be happier that we chose BPG. Linda and her team have been so accommodating in moving the date (twice now) and ensuring we are all comfortable with the arrangements. They are committed to safety for their events and we anxiously await our wedding day!
Bryant Park Grill is top-notch in every possible way! The venue is like a dream come true. With the gorgeous park-side setting and twinkling lights, it feels like a romantic oasis in the heart of the city. The food is amazing, the staff are consummate professionals, and the service is first-class all the way. Everything runs like clockwork because they have the experience and know-how to get it right. I knew from the first time we met Emma, our wedding coordinator, that we were in the very best possible hands. I had complete trust that our event would run smoothly, that all details would be taken care of seamlessly, and that we could actually be guests at our own party. Whenever we have a question, our emails are answered immediately. Whenever we ask for advice or suggestions, she couldn't be more helpful. And when we needed to reschedule our event because of the pandemic, she was extraordinarily accommodating. I have planned many important events, and it's exceedingly rare to find a place that is truly this special on every level. Bryant Park Grill is an absolute gem!
We pushed our wedding back twice due to the pandemic, and Kristi was there with us through each redo of the planning. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Kristi, and with Tom later on. They were patient, flexible, and responsive throughout the entire process. We started working with Kristi from day one; she is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and would respond to all of our emails/questions within hours, if not quicker. She went above and beyond what we thought she would do, and helped us plan out all of the details of how the big day would go. She worked well with all of our outside vendors, and the whole process was incredibly smooth. Tom was our point person/coordinator on the day of the wedding. He did a wonderful job executing all of the small details that we had planned out; without him, I'm really not sure how we would have gotten through the day. The venue speaks for itself with its ideal location and wonderful views of the park and city from the terrace (where we had the ceremony/cocktail hour). Choosing to do our wedding here (the whole package comes with the food, drinks, and dessert) was definitely the best decision we made for our wedding. The space is very flexible, with its rooftop terrace, main indoor area, and outside garden area. Many of our guests and family members reached out to us afterwards to specifically compliment the food (we agreed with them), which is not something that you can say for all wedding food. We are so happy to have chosen BPG for our wedding, and we can't wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary!
My fiance and i were debating between two different venues, one in Cape Cod and the Bryant Park Grill. We had looked at over 6 different venues in New York City, and we either felt they didn't have the whole picture, or I didn't love the Special events Coordinator. I emailed BPG, and was connected with Dominick. I asked to speak on the phone with him, and from the moment we spoke i knew that we were getting married there. The Venue itself, is magical. Right in Bryant Park, and has everything you need, good food, beauty and the best special events team. I inquired about having a Vegan wedding, and most venues we spoke with, stuck their nose up at me, or tried to make me feel uncomfortable. Dominick did none of this, he said " we can do anything you want, its your wedding". From that moment, i knew we were making the right choice. Dominick worked with us throughout the entire process of 2019, and beginning of 2020. When Covid hit, Dominick answered every email, phone call and even suggested for my personality type to postpone to 2021. He works on behalf of his clients, and I have heard horror stories of brides from Covid. The venue worked with us to find a new date, and didn't even blink to charge us more money. They have our best interest at heart, and I cannot wait to get married there in 2021. They really are the best venue in the city, and when you call, ask to work with Dominick.
Bryant Park Grill is not only an insanely beautiful and romantic venue, the team is incredible. I had to postpone my October 2020 wedding to June 2021 due to COVID and the BPG team, especially Kristi, has been a dream to work with. They made the process incredibly easy and stress free and even sent my fiance & I Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes, all the way to CA, to let us know they were thinking of us. We cannot wait to get married at BPG in June next year and continue working with Kristi.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Bryant Park Grill and the team there. We initially planned our wedding for August 2020 and chose Bryant Park Grill for the location and the overall feel of the venue, quintessential NYC. For our 125-150 guest wedding, the setup was exactly what we wanted: cocktail hour on the rooftop overlooking the park and dinner and dancing in the restaurant. On top of that, from our first meeting with Kristi, we knew we wanted to work with her and were confident she could bring our vision to life! Other pros: 1. the food is incredible 2. the venue is already so beautiful, you don't need to do a lot to the space 3. reasonably priced for NYC.
When COVID hit and started disrupting plans, Kristi was super responsive to all of our questions and eventually helped with our decision to postpone our wedding. We were able to move everything seamlessly to our preferred (second) date and didn't get stuck with extra charges or fees for postponing. Kristi made everything so easy in what could have been a very stressful situation. After hearing horror stories of difficult wedding venues, BPG was a dream to work with.
We can't wait for our NEW wedding date, and we're so grateful for the team at BPG working with us through all of the uncertainty!
The Best Wedding Venue Hands Down
I can't say enough about Bryant Park Grill. I'm sure other venues are good but BPG is AMAZING. The absolute best of the best. We had the PLEASURE of working with Linda and Tom and I can't stop smiling when I think of how amazingly awesome they both were. Linda was so fun and easy going from start to finish, she made things easy and uncomplicated, she took time to go over details, add special features and was just a total rockstar in helping plan our day. Then you have Tom. The guy is the King of Events. He is cool, calm, collected and executed the day flawlessly and he does it with a great attitude and the best smile. I owe Linda and Tom so much. Now the venue ... it doesn't get anymore gorgeous from the rooftop to the outdoor garden to the inside. The food is top notch and you won't find any better. I promise. Every single one of our guests have said that our wedding was the best they had ever been to and it's because of Linda, Tom and the entire Bryant Park Grill staff. If you want the best day of your life, pick Bryant Park Grill as your venue.
Our wedding ceremony and reception at Bryant Park Grill were magical! I highly recommend this venue. The event team, led by Linda and Tom, are seasoned professionals. From planning through to the big day, Linda guided us through any and all questions and requests we had. We’re so glad we chose BPG and have these beautiful memories to look back on.
My husband and I got married at Bryant Park Grill in late January and had the BEST night of our lives at this venue. Here are the highlights:
1. We worked with Emma, who was a pleasure to work with from Day 1. She is extremely patient, knowledgeable, flexible, and professional. We asked for many custom arrangements and she said yes to EVERYTHING we asked for! She was very responsive and made the planning process as easy as possible.
2. The space itself is stunning. It does not need any flowers, special lighting, or decoration - it is beautiful on its own without any adornment. We loved every nook and cranny of the venue. The tent area (where we had the ceremony and cocktail hour) was gorgeous and gave guests spectacular views of the city, park, and skyline. The restaurant itself is gorgeous - great lighting, elegant, sophisticated, classy, etc. The space has a 'warm' feel to it, and is not sterile like some other wedding venues we visited. The location was super convenient, as well.
3. The food was fantastic! Many of our guests said that this was the best wedding food they had ever tasted! Given it's a restaurant by design, and not a traditional wedding venue, the food is head-and-shoulders better than most other venues.
4. The pricing was actually reasonable / fair compared to some other places we looked into.
These words do not begin to give Bryant Park Grill the credit / accolades it deserves. We had the best night - we loved every aspect of the venue / service / staff - and would not change a thing! THANK YOU Emma, Tom, and Bryant Park staff for making this the best night of our lives.
I cannot say enough about the wedding we had last weekend at the Bryant Park Grill! Working so closing with Emma made it a wonderful experience and everything was executed perfectly. From the time we began the planning throughout the end event, every step along the way Emma was on top of every detail. No request was overlooked and we were accommodated on every level. The food was excellent, service was impeccable, and the ambiance is just beautiful. The night of the wedding Tom was there as well and he insured that everything ran smoothly. We could not have had a better experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at the Bryant Park Grill! Anytime we called we always had their undivided attention. No question was too minor to get a quick answer or to make the request happen. The food was delicious and the service was quick and supportive. Thank you for making the occasion of our children's wedding the most beautiful and enjoyable event!
Kathryn Bregman
We had an absolutely perfect wedding thanks to Kristi and Tom at Bryant Park Grill. For the 9 months leading up to our wedding, Kristi was so responsive to any question we had, plus she provided great feedback and ideas to make the wedding unique to us. Tom and his team were all stars on the night of and took care of every detail to execute a flawless event. Many of our guests have commented on the fantastic venue, the delicious food ("best wedding food I've ever had") and the service ("top-notch"). We couldn't be happier and can't wait to visit for anniversaries!
If you’re thinking of having your wedding at a classic New York venue, run — don’t walk — to Bryant Park Grill! The team at BPG gave us the perfect wedding! The catering sales manager Kristi made the process so easy (call her ASAP; they book up early). She asked us to trust her and her team, and we're so glad we did. The event — from start to finish — was flawless. Our guests have bombarded us with messages about how much fun they had on Saturday, and how impressed they were with our wedding in general. We've gotten the most feedback on the food ("the best wedding food I've ever had") and the service ("top-notch"). Everyone also loved how classy and elegant the space felt. Too bad we can't get married every year! But we want to come back for our anniversary. Last but certainly not least, the event manager/day-of coordinator Tom is truly a secret (hopefully not so secret) weapon. He was such a help and made sure everything ran so incredibly smoothly on Saturday. He also has such a great energy that makes him someone you certainly want to handle complex, high stress events! We’ll always have a special place in our hearts for Bryant Park Grill!
Bryant Park Grill was the best decision in the planning. From the very start, they accommodating everything and anything we asked. The food quality, portions, pricing is impeccable. The STAFF: Linda, Tom, the entire back of house and front of house was INCREDIBLE!
I cannot say enough about my wedding last weekend at BPG. Tom and Linda made my dreams come true. They were both an absolute pleasure to work with from day 1 up until the wedding day. My guests have not stopped complimenting us on how great our wedding was. The food was some of the best we have ever had at a wedding and our guests agreed. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you Tom, Linda, and the entire staff at BPG!
Alex was just phenomenal! She was super friendly and organized throughout the entire process. Her and the team were a dream to work with. The night was amazing, delicious food and great atmosphere.
Where do I start? Our wedding at Bryant Park Grill was perfect and I cannot rave enough about it. Alex and Tom went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day went smoothly. And so many of our guests noted how delicious the food was during cocktail hour and reception. We cannot recommend Bryant Park grill enough!! Thank you, Alex and Tom!
Kristi was amazing from the start! She saw our vision right away and helped is plan everything down to the font of our menus!
Always kind and accommodating, Tom and the staff the day-of were exceptional! All my guests have told me how great the service was and delicious the food was.
Would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a classic wedding in the heart of Manhattan!
This place is incredible. We had an amazing night. Kristi and Tom executed everything perfectly and we really appreciate all of the time and care that the entire team put in to make the night so great. Our guests consistently said that the BPG had the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. The location and the backdrop of Bryant Park and the NYC skyline are also perfect. Highly, highly recommend.
Dominick and Tom did a beautiful job for our wedding in June. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the wedding-- even in keeping with our original outdoor terrace cocktails despite the small threat of rain. Our guests raved about the quality and quantity of food for cocktail hour and sit down dinner. From our first trip to Bryant Park through the wedding day, the staff at the restaurant could not be more accommodating and offered suggestions as to how to enhance our vision. They worked closely and collaborated with our "day of" coordinator and our florist to create a gorgeous atmosphere. Bryant Park Grill offers a truly unique experience for guests as you feel as though you are in a beautiful park setting, but with the backdrop of the NYC skyline. I would give the highest recommendation possible- (particularly to Dominick!)!
We had a dream-come-true wedding at Bryant Park Grill! BPG provided the perfect NY backdrop for our special occasion. The staff was incredibly hospitable and professional and the food was enjoyed by all of our guests. Alex and the team was so easy to work with and made wedding planning a pleasure.
AMAZING!!! We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue. Doesn't get any better than the heart of Manhattan at the nicest venue, with the best view in all of New York City. Kristi and Tom were the dream team. From booking our wedding day to the day of, they made everything easier! We got such great feedback from our guests about how great the food was and such a unique venue! They made our wedding day beyond perfect and a day that us and our guests will never forget!
The best time ever! We are more than happy that we picked this venue over any other places in NYC. The best decision we made. Kristi is great and most importantly throughout the preparation period, she made us so confident and comfortable with every detail. She is not only so professional but also very sweet and considerate making sure we are happy with each selection. We had the best time and so did our guests! Thank you Kristi and Tom for making our wedding party so special and the best ever!!
Truly remarkable! Going into the wedding everyone's best piece of advice was, "don't sweat the small stuff." Well, Bryant Park Grill, Tom and Arthur didn't even give me an ounce of small stuff to sweat (and I'm Type A!)! Leading up to the day I was still skeptical because I didn't know how involved I should be speaking with the venue, I was mostly just dealing with other vendors and probably hassled Arthur about meeting too many times :) but everything flowed perfectly and I didn't even have to think about a thing except enjoying my wedding day.
We did not have our ceremony at BPG, we had cocktail hour on the roof, dinner in the tented garden, dancing and dessert inside. It's definitely a unique venue set-up to continue to move spaces and I was nervous about it, especially having the older crowd go from place to place. But I kept thinking I hate when I am interrupted during dinner to dance between appetizers and dinner, and that's why I enjoyed the Parisian set up! I had guests tell me "This is how you should have a wedding, I'm going to start telling people this is the way to do it." The food was constantly flowing at cocktail hour and the service was so good and attentive that my mom's best friend said she thought the waiter was even going to wipe her mouth after each bite! One of our hors d'oeuvres was the petite lobster roll, how good could a catering venue lobster roll be, I thought? Well, that too was delicious, the food was impeccable, even the chicken satay which is always "eh" at weddings was juicy and tasty! I asked Arthur to work with me because I wanted to choose burrata as the seated appetizer but I didn't want that to be displayed with the cheese station on the roof to over-cheese our guests, he had no problem removing it and adding something else.
Overall, just to have a rooftop element and outdoor garden area in the middle of NYC is a dream. Even if it rains they can accommodate the party in a different space - venues with an ideal plan B for weather were extremely hard to find. Match the unique space with the perfect staff - there's nothing that could possible go wrong with choosing Bryant Park Grill as your wedding venue.
Our daughter's wedding was this past weekend, at the magnificent Bryant Park Grill, and it was absolute perfection! Linda and Tom are Rock Stars - what a pleasure to work with such caring special event coordinators. The food, the staff, everything was all top-notch. I've gotten such wonderful feedback from our guests, who had the best time and just adored the atmosphere at the place.
We are so happy to have chosen Bryant Park Grill, for this most important day in our daughter's life. She and her husband are thrilled to have started their
married life together, at this oh-so very New York establishment. A+++ all the way, for Bryant Park Grill!!
We cannot even begin to say enough about Bryant Park Grill. Thank you so much for an amazing wedding celebration. Kristi Ohlin, Catering Sales Manager, and Tom Ferretti, Events Manager, were so wonderful to work with. They were there with us every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life. Both offered their professional expertise and guidance when decisions were difficult to make and really helped make the entire process super fun and easy! It speaks volumes to the amount of times brides/grooms have reviewed BPG and specifically named Kristi and Tom! They are both amazing at what they do. I wouldn't have got through the planning process without them.
Bryant Park lets you work with your own vendors which really helps you customize your day. It was also a stress free experience when we were dealing with the contract. Everything in the contract is up front and clear. Plus they're a restaurant so the food is exquisite.
We chose to do our ceremony inside, cocktail hour on the roof (every single person we know took photos during this part of the evening and changed their profile pictures! Awesome photo opps with the Park in the background), dinner outside under the stars, and the reception back inside. Our guests stated it was THE BEST wedding they've ever been to from the food, to the flow of the night from one area to the next, to the atmosphere and staff. Definitely a wedding experience that stands out!
Thank you again to the entire Bryant Park Staff. We give two thumbs up, 5 stars, raving reviews and definitely recommend having your New York City wedding at one of the most iconic places in Manhattan.
Plus, it's not often you can go back to your wedding venue for anniversaries and celebrations, or a nice date night out for dinner and drinks. Truly a special experience we will treasure forever.
The Bryant Park Grill was the best choice we made about our wedding! Linda is wonderful to work with; responsive, attentive to detail, and so experienced. The food is beyond amazing, the venue speaks for itself, and Tom made our day of coordination smooth and easy. We literally had the best night of our lives - the venue sets such a fun tone, and your guests will be obsessed! If I could do it all over again I would!
We just tied the knot at Bryant Park Grill and we couldn’t be happier!! From the convenience of being able to have both the ceremony and reception in one photo-ready space, to the incredibly delicious food, to the caring and attentive staff, it all came together beautifully on our big day! The professionalism and expertise of Kristi, Tom, and Renee truly made our wedding shine, allowing us to relax and be present for the best day of our lives with all of our family and friends. We continue to receive compliment after compliment on how it was such an amazing wedding! Also love how our package came with a stay at Bryant Park Hotel — Ciara was wonderful and the whole staff was friendly and warm and treated us like VIPs. We look forward to returning to Bryant Park Grill and Bryant Park Hotel for many years to come!
I met my husband in New York and we wanted a NYC wedding. We had been to the Bryant Park Grill for a friend's wedding and it was one of the BEST weddings we'd been to. It was a dream of ours to get married there and after discussing our budget and guest list, we went for it! The Bryant Park Grill was truly INCREDIBLE and breathtaking! My husband and I got married at a church but we had our cocktail hour on the roof that overlooks Bryant Park and we had dinner and dancing inside of the restaurant. We had 140 guests and we fit comfortably in the restaurant area and the rooftop. Everyone wanted to dance so the dance floor was packed the entire night but it made the evening so fun to be surrounded by family and friends in an intimate setting! The pictures we took both inside and around the venue were breathtaking (Dreamlife Photography / Angelo - main photographer) and if I had the chance to do this all over again, I would choose the Bryant Park Grill over and over again! My husband and I worked with Arthur who walked us through all of the logistics, menus, tastings, etc. Arthur was our go-to person and he was extremely helpful and informative throughout the process. For the day-of, we had an amazing coordinator, Tom, who was calm, kind, and extremely professional. Tom made me feel at east throughout the entire night and I felt so comfortable letting him take control over the wedding we had planned for so long! The only wish I had was that I had met Tom earlier so I could have planned more with him prior to the day-of. However, everything went WONDERFULLY! All staff members were extremely professional and have been working there for such a long time. It was so much fun getting to visit and dine at the restaurant leading up to the big day. That's one of the benefits of getting married at a restaurant - you can go back and try to relive the magic! My husband and I had the wedding of our DREAMS at the Bryant Park Grill!! I hope you can have the same beautiful experience!
We booked the Bryant Park Grill a year in advance. From the moment we booked Kristi was there for every need, concern, and question. I am a very type A person, especially when it comes to any type of event; let alone my wedding. I have been planning my wedding since I was little girl and I had a lot of questions but Kristi made those all disappear, and kept me calm during the process. As we got closer to the wedding I started to get more anxious and nervous and wanted everything to be as close to perfection as it could be. Reminding myself no matter what I’m sure something will go wrong. Well was I wrong, In came Tom and Kristi who are simply an amazing Team and in our final meeting the week of the wedding I went in feeling nervous and thinking how is everything going to flow!? The layout of our wedding was cocktail hour on the roof, dinner in the tented garden, and dancing and dessert in the main dining room. After that final meeting, I felt relaxed and calm as Kristi and Tom walked my parents and I through every detail. The day of the wedding I was hoping for things to be almost perfect when in fact the wedding was more than PERFECT. Tom and Kristi made every single request happen, and they did it flawlessly. It was simply magical and we owe it all to them and our wedding coordinator Allison. We did not have to worry about a single thing during the wedding. The food during cocktail hour, dinner and dessert was incredible. The staff was attentive and seriously five stars. The flow was timed perfectly. Every single detail was accomplished. In my opinion if you are looking to get married in New York City and want to actually feel like you are in New York City then this is the wedding venue for you. Besides Tom and Kristi being perfect, the city is your backdrop in every single part of Bryant Park Grill. Every other venue we looked at in the city was beautiful outside but inside just looked like every other ballroom or hall. We love Bryant Park Grill and we absolutely LOVE Kristi & Tom. They do not disappoint. They truly turned our dream into a reality.
We had an amazing wedding at BPG! I can't say enough about how much Kristi, Tom, the staff and the venue exceeded our expectations. Kristi Ohlin is wonderful to work with. She genuinely cared about understanding our expectations for an ideal wedding and was very accommodating of our requests. If it wasn't for her diligence and perseverance, we wouldn't have had our dream wedding at BPG :-) Tom and the event staff were absolutely fantastic on the big day, and managed everything smoothly. We highly recommend the venue, and the wonderful service that Kristi and Tom provided us. We will have fond memories of that evening for the rest of our lives.
We celebrated our wedding ceremony and reception at the Bryant Park Grill a few weeks ago and it was phenomenal. It was everything that we hoped for and envisioned! Not only did they provide exceptional service, but the food was so scrumptious that our guests were raving about it weeks after the wedding. These would not be possible without the help of Kristi, our Catering Sales Manager. From the beginning, she exemplified her professionalism and expertise which made the whole planning process seamless. She was very responsive to all my questions (so many of them) and respond to them very timely (even at 2 in the morning!) which is something that is really hard to find these days even from your own wedding vendors. She also gives you her own expert opinion and had given me so many suggestions that I could not even have thought of which made our wedding even so much better. She was there to guide us all throughout the planning process, and her flexibility with our requests made the whole experience enjoyable. A week prior to our event, we also met with Tom who is the Director of Special Events at BPG. Tom is a very charming guy and was so accommodating to our requests. His execution of all-the-months-of-planning that day was phenomenal and very flawless that there was no major glitch in our event. He made us feel at ease and we felt that we could really rely on him and he was successfully able to do so. Lastly, the excellent service of the staff that night at BPG was exceptional and we are really very happy about that.
If you have the chance to celebrate your wedding at Bryant Park Grill, they will definitely make your dreams a reality, and will make it even better than you’ve even dreamed of.
The first time I visited the Bryant Park Grill as the possible reception venue for my wedding, I immediately fell in love. It was the perfect space for the wedding of our dreams. I met with Kristi who was beyond helpful and flexible from the beginning to the end. Kristi did an amazing job in managing our timeline, managing our expectations and giving us the necessary pushes to make decisions when they needed to be made. A few days before the wedding Kristi introduced us to Tom who was going to ensure our vision came to life the day of the wedding. The moment we met Tom we fell in love with him. Tom have us the assurance we needed that everything was going to flow smoothly on our wedding day. Tom allowed one of our vendors to come in a bit earlier then time agreed upon. Tom allowed us to make a decision on where to have our cocktail hour depending on the weather the day of the wedding which are decisions that are usually made way in advance! Tom was just amazing! The Bryant Park Grill staff was accommodating to our guest, the service was phenomenal all around. Last but certainly not the least, the food!! We couldn't believe the rave reviews we received about the food! The food from cocktail hour through the reception was plentiful and delicious! I can go on an on about the Bryant Park Grill, Kristi and Tom, but to believe it you have to experience it yourself! If you want to have the best wedding ever, the Bryant Park Grill and their team will make your dreams come true!
We recently held our ceremony and reception at Bryant Park Grill and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Throughout the planning Alex was beyond helpful, accommodating and reassuring. She is just a pleasure to work with! On the day of the event, Tom was such a calming presence and it is clear that he knows exactly what he is doing and does it well. We felt so taken care of by both of them as well as all of the staff, the night was seamless and everything was executed just perfectly. The space is super elegant and looked especially beautiful at night with the large windows displaying New York City. We are still getting feedback from friends and family raving about both the cocktail hour as well as the seated dinner and delicious dessert bar. All of our guests had an incredible night and we can't express how happy we are with our decision. Thank you Bryant Park Grill for making our day amazing!
Where do we start? How about right at 25 West 40th? The location is great, the setting is romantic (regardless of the season!), the food delicious, and the people, which in our opinion is the most important element, are wonderful. Kristi and Tom made a perfect team that navigated us through the hustle and bustle that is a Manhattan wedding. We had countless guests come to us to tell us how this was the best wedding they've ever been to. Thank you, everyone!
