Manhattan Penthouse

ening (3 months out). We worked with Jeno through the entire process. He was incredible! Jeno provided great advice, accommodating our specific requests, and was fun to collaborate with. We ended up doing our ceremony at a park nearby and used both rooms for a roaming dinner reception (no assigned tables). It worked out perfectly and we were really able to benefit from the incredible space. The staff at the reception were great and the food was delicious.

o really talk with you about your budget and WORK WITH us in a kind and pleasant way! That sold us- not to mention the stunning view! Monika and the team were willing to work with me, the bride, being at a distance the first couple months- letting me see the venue through FaceTime. They let us do more than the one tasting due to my husband being allergic to some of their menu choices. They were BEYOND accommodating! I was able to visit multiple times to double check on things. There were never ever too many questions- Monika was always amazing, pleasant quick with replies to answering emails! The food was pretty great, cocktails awesome and my guests are still talking about the view. OH and the staff day of was AMAZING. So so sweet. You can really trust this venue to know how to throw your wedding but also let you make your personal touches! We recommend this venue FOR SURE.

ood to be true - beautiful views, in the heart of Manhattan, delicious food, exceptional staff, AND reasonably priced?? Well, before I go into the specifics - yes. It is true. All of it. First, the location: I am from New York City, as is my (now) husband, and 95% of our friends are family are local to the area. To have a venue in the middle of Union Square, essentially a subway ride away for most of our guests, made travel a breeze (and if you have out of towners, there are plenty of places to stay either nearby or at a very short travel distance). The space itself it absolutely stunning. The views of the city are pretty indescribable, you really have to see them in person - the photos on their website do not do them justice. We had both our ceremony and the reception at the Penthouse, so we got to enjoy the views during daylight, at sunset, and after dark. The food: simply delicious. On par with many fancy NYC restaurants, both in taste and presentation. The tasting menu is put together with love, and it shows. The dishes are unique and plentiful. The staff: I'm in my mid30s, and by now most of my friends (and I with them), have gone through the wedding planning process. There've been weddings in fancy reception halls, weddings in barns, weddings at destinations on beaches and on mountaintops... and let me tell you I have encountered NO other team who has been as wonderful, kind, accommodating, and FUN as Jeno and his staff. They are professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and full of ideas. They function as a well oiled machine, and the experience working with them made me fully confident they can make happen a wedding where you want to be in control of every detail, a wedding where you want to be as hands off as you can, and anything and everything in between. We wanted to see the space in both daylight and at night before we committed, and not only was Jeno great about working with mine and my husband's insane schedules, when we showed up for the 3rd time to see it, this time with our moms, they actually fed us all of us dinner because there was a cancellation from a couple who was supposed to have been doing a tasting that night. That encounter was only a small part of our overall experience, but I am not exaggerating when I say that every question, comment, anxiety, crazy demand, and last minute revision we had was answered immediately, addressed with a smile, and resolved in the most efficient way. I think Jeno must sleep with his cellphone next to his ear, because he answered all our emails (many!), within an hour, even if he was traveling abroad. We got married nearly 3 months ago, and our guests are all still raving about the views, the space, the food, the atmosphere, and "best wedding ever" gets mentioned a lot. It was important to us to celebrate our vows in a place that corresponded to our values, and I cannot emphasize enough how above and beyond our even most optimistic hopes this place and the people in it went. Jeno, we cannot thank you enough for helping us start our life together as husband and wife on such a memorable note.

MP offered all this and more, and everything was delicious and looked beautiful. (And we're picky, trust me.) Monika, one of the managers, answered all our questions and emails promptly (and we had a lot), and she was very helpful on the day of the wedding. We didn't need to hire a day-of coordinator because the staff was so thorough and conscientious. It really was the best day ever, due in large part to the MP's great work.

and Jeno. The views at the Penthouse are truly spectacular, and Jeno is a consummate professional (especially when dealing with hard-to-please family). We can't recommend him and the Penthouse enough, and are so grateful that we hadn't the good fortune of finding this amazing venue.

there, including a cocktail hour, a sit-down catered dinner and an open bar. This all-in-one package made planning our wedding so much easier and less stressful which is exactly what we wanted. The City views are beautiful, the venue is warm and elegant, and the food is delicious! For Manhattan, very reasonable pricing. Worth every penny! The feedback from our 100 guests, comprised of out-of-towners and native New Yorkers, was five stars. Everyone truly had a blast. They loved the venue, the food, the service and complimented the organized flow of the evening. Many Facebook pictures went up of the views through the beautiful, arched windows. Also, if you're a fan of the Goodfellas movie like my husband and I, you'll appreciate the hidden passageway that takes you from the bridal suite through the kitchen and out to the ballroom. Monika Nemeth, our day-to-day contact, needs a special mention. We could not have asked for a nicer, more professional, responsive, and organized person than Monika. She was helpful every step of the way and responded quickly to our email questions. We really appreciated having her to help us throughout the planning process. The rest of the staff was great and helpful as well. Good vibes all around. We loved every part of our wedding and are so happy that we booked this place! Overall a beautiful, fun and memorable evening. Highly recommend.

e. It was honestly everything we could've dreamed of, I can recommend it enough!

f it’s still as beautiful as it was then,now. It was beautiful and then some. Our wedding day was a morning wedding and even with the cloudy day it was still bright and beautiful inside. The staff was so attentive to our needs, the food was amazing! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about it and everything was well organized and on schedule. I would recommend anyone to have an event or a wedding here because they will make it something you will never forget

of the skyline. In addition, working with Monika was amazing. She was always super helpful and responsive about any questions I asked her. My husband is a chef so we had a tasting before we even officially booked the venue and then had another tasting, in which they accommodated a special request for him. The chef was very open to any suggestions my husband had, and the food was great on our wedding day. Everything else was great too, Monika helped set up and decorate the day of the wedding and coordinated everything. They also have a bridal room which was perfect so my bridesmaids and I could all get ready right at the venue and not have to worry about traveling from hair and makeup. We had a pretty small wedding with less than 50 guests, they set up the space perfectly for our small wedding but they also accommodate much larger parties. I highly recommend Manhattan Penthouse and Monika!

s bare bones. We spent so much time visiting venues both in and out of state, and I couldn't tell you how many poor decor decisions are out there, and how inflexible some venues really are. Not the case at the Manhattan Penthouse, they are incredibly efficient, flexible and professional. The food is delicious, the staff is unlike any other and the experience was just a dream come true. We worked with Jeno who is by far the most impressive contact that we have ever worked with. We were married on Oct 1, 2016 and we still have friends and family talking about our special day. Everyone was so impressed by the night that it made every penny worthwhile. We would highly recommend choosing this venue for your rental needs, as it was made for hosting a very perfect night.

made the night that more magical. I cannot recommend this place more!!!

nal and friendly and do their jobs very well. We worked with Jeno who was very responsive and efficient leading up to the event, as well as the day of. I cannot think of a single drawback. If you're looking to host an NYC wedding on a smaller budget, then this is the venue for you. Thank you so much to the entire Manhattan Penthouse team!

nning to end, and Jeno (although he might seem somewhat short at times) was terrific to work with - efficient, responsive, and incredibly helpful. We loved working with him. The food was very good and the venue was stunning. Very affordable as well given relative prices in New York. We chose this venue in part because we wanted to get married near our homes, but it ended out being the right choice for countless reasons. Thanks so much to Jeno and his entire team!

ooked at in Manhattan were more expensive and only offered me a view of New Jersey. I loved the idea of having a wedding in a loft space so I could design it and create the wedding of my dreams. Monika was amazing to work with - She was accommodating and responded quickly through email with all of my questions. The staff was professional and the food was AMAZING. With so many things to worry about while wedding planning, it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about my venue once.

d through the cocktail hour, dinner and the last second of the last dance everything about the evening went smoothly and was had led with the greatest of care. We have hear nothing except how much everyone loved the venue and its spectacular views and how much fun each of our 145 guests had during the whole event! Thank you so much for making our special day totally magical and perfect!! Can't wait to have another celebration at the Penthouse!!!

very single dish was AMAZING & DELICIOUS! Jeno was our maitre d. He was outstanding. He promptly answered every single tedious question I had & every crazy bride email I sent him. On the day of, he treated us like royalty and helped guide us through the whole night. He did everything from greeting our guests, telling us when to walk down the aisle and when to dance and when to sit. He was a rock star. I highly recommend this venue based on the space itself and all of the staff. As for price, the venue is reasonable and for catering you're looking at bw $150-$250 a plate then there is a 22% service charge and we got a surprise $400 request at the last minute for the maitre d. So its kinda pricey but worth it!

ending any event. The room adjacent to the main dining room provided a full service bar as well as a piano that any event can make use of. The person setting up our wedding, Monika Nemeth was exceptional in her ability to keep our event running very smoothly. My wife and I felt very comfortable with Monika throughout the whole process. We felt like she was extremely accommodating and had an answer for every question we had. Monika helped make our wedding the best day it could be. We would highly recommend Monika and Manhattan Penthouse for any special events, especially weddings.

uests. At first, I thought this was impossible to find in Manhattan at an affordable price, but the MPH is THE space if you want the most for your money. Their caterers have been in business for 50 years and were willing to work with us to create the blend of Latin American and Mediterranean dishes we wanted. Furthermore, one of the managers we worked with, Jeno, answered all of my emails immediately, and was reliable, flexible and made us feel special even though he deals with 100's of clients at a time. You will not regret celebrating an event here- your wedding or any of life's other major milestones.

ar! I have heard nothing but rave reviews from everyone that was at the reception. Monika was excellent as responding to emails and answering all questions during the planning process. Angel - I think he was head waiter - was the only other person I met that night of the wedding (the whole night was very busy!) but he was wonderful! It was so great knowing that the food was coming from Manhattan Penthouse - one less thing to do. Their menu is very extensive and a little overwhelming but everything on it is delicious. You know how people say you don't eat at your own wedding? After the tasting we had, I made sure to eat the food! It was too good to pass up! They don't provide a cake but they do have a lot of other really great desserts. It was a perfect evening and we could not have picked a better location. Highly recommended!

ncluding the sauces, are made gluten-free. We got so many compliments from our guests on the food and the venue's beauty. Best of all was our coordinator, Jeno. He is very experienced and good at his job. He is also very accessible, quick to respond to questions - and not just the week of your wedding but even 4 months before the big day, he treats you as if you are his only client. I cannot recommend this place enough.

we hired from Juilliard (also flawless). The main room was more than spacious and attractively configured for the tables and dance floor. One of the key features of MP is their gorgeous, huge arched windows. Apart from floral arrangements on the tables, we had to add nothing in the way of decorations. The beauty is in the architecture of the rooms and the views - especially at night which is when it counts. The other key selling point of the place is Monika Nemeth, who we worked with. She is awesome (calm, professional, accommodating, interested, hard working). We did not like the wine selection they offered, so we brought in our own bottles. We got a satisfactory credit, and the matter was a non-issue. The proof of it all was that we had a fun wedding, didn't need to sweat the reception, and our guests loved the experience. I am sure you would too.

iews of NYC. Whether your guests are NYC natives, or visiting from out of town, the view is sure to WOW. The only view you don't get is due west, but that's actually perfect because you don't get the sunset in your eyes like at other venues (like at Water's Edge in Brooklyn. I've been to weddings there and I couldn't even see the ceremony because the sun was too bright). The food was excellent. We got so many compliments about the appetizers (passed and stationary), and also about the main courses. And the service was also great. Everyone was so professional. At our table we had our own personal server who was there for our every need! It was awesome having a venue that did its own catering so we didn't have to worry about food or rentals or logistics. I only wish we had thought to ask for appetizers to be brought to us in the bride's room because we didn't get to taste any of them. But I'm sure if we had asked they would have brought some to us. But - none of that even matters compared to the perfect and astonishing Jeno Steiner. He was the person who originally showed us the space; he worked with us through the contract signing process; he was very reasonable about questions we had on the per person charge and allowed a flexible contract depending on how many RSVPs we received; he was the absolute most responsive vendor I have ever worked with for anything - he would write back to emails almost faster than I could even hit send. One night we emailed him in the evening. He wrote back in less than 5 minutes "On a date - will get back to you in the morning." I mean - wow! Even on a date he made sure to write us back just to let us know he'd write us back soon. Needless to say we highly recommend this venue.

t how delicious the food was. Depending on your perspective, it may be a bit pricey, but I looked at a lot of Manhattan venues and anything with a view was much more expensive. I highly recommend this venue.

r keen insight for having the best occasion ever. The music, the food and the service was abolutely amazing. She leads a perfect staff that are eager to help the guests enjoy the feast. We had the best time of our lives.

was great--even my mom, who complains about everything, was pleased! It's a relatively good value for a NYC wedding, with its own catering, tables, dishes, etc.

vent space, caterers, bar tenders, servers, and wedding day coordinator. You won't be disappointed :)

cing room) and the beautiful views of the skyline.

ithin minutes. On the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Monika was very organized and the walk down the aisle, as well as the rest of the night was perfect. I've been in other weddings, and have heard horror stories, but Manhattan Penthouse was a dream. The venue itself is beautiful, with wall to wall views of NYC. For someone who loves this city, Manhattan Penthouse is the perfect venue to highlight everything good about NYC. Green Mansions Catering is the in-house caterer for this venue, and the food was delicious. The price was reasonable too, by NYC standards, but our guests thought we paid a lot more than we did. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding, it's beautiful, classy, and you will save yourself a lot of stress!

ans that you have to sacrifice something - usually something big. But not in this case. The view? Spectacular. The food? Amazing (or at least it was in my tasting and all my guests raved about it afterwards - I barely ate a thing). The service? Exceptional. But the thing that made my year long journey to the Manhattan Penthouse for my trip down the aisle particularly outstanding was Jeno Steiner. The contract calls him my Maitre D' but he was so much more than that. Jeno was incredibly responsive to my questions and requests (remember that we're talking about a year's worth of questions and requests, beginning with when I booked the place), he was friendly, funny (while still being professional) and always reassured me that my questions were good ones, my requests could be accommodated and that I was doing great. My favorite moment with Jeno was while I was standing with my father waiting to walk down the aisle, and my song begins to play (Maybe I'm Amazed). I look back at Jeno (who was straightening out my dress) and ask "...now?" He responds "Not yet... wait for the drama." It's little things like that, that make Jeno so special. My now-husband remembers that when I decided to cut the cake a little early my husband was off somewhere (probably the photobooth). Jeno found him immediately, put him in his jacket and spirited him into the main room where we cut our cake and celebrated our marriage together with the people we love. I've gotten nothing but rave reviews from everyone who attended (even friends who give you the honest [read: bluntest] reviews on everything). So like I said... Best Wedding (and with any luck ONLY wedding) EVER!

r needs and went the extra mile to make it a perfect, stress-free day. I don't think there is a better value for an elegant wedding venue in nyc.

for all their smiles. If you want a really classy New York wedding, go here!

he venue speaks for itself - what an amazing view of Manhattan. Lastly, the food was great. I highly recommend this wedding venue!
