Service area
Holds ceremonies and receptions
We hosted our wedding at Gary’s Loft, and it was absolutely perfect. The space comfortably held our 120 guests with ease, and everything flowed beautifully throughout the event. The team behind Gary’s Loft was truly exceptional—extremely friendly, professional, and supportive from start to finish. They even helped us find an incredible caterer and music vendor, both of whom exceeded our expectations and made the night unforgettable.
We had our ceremony on the rooftop/Penthouse, and the view was hands down the best part. We received nonstop compliments from our guests all night long. The stunning view of the Empire State Building is completely jaw-dropping and something you truly can’t find anywhere else in the world.
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team for our special day. Highly recommend Gary’s Loft to anyone looking for a unique, breathtaking, and seamless event experience!
I had done about 2 weeks of venue visits before I finally ended up at Gary's Loft and I knew as soon as the elevator doors opened that it was the place we'd get married.
The pictures don't do it justice - if you're looking for an NYC venue this one is top notch. The owner is responsive, his staff goes above and beyond & we just had the best experience we could have possibly had.
