Celebrating its 100th year on Fifth Avenue’s iconic Museum Mile, the Museum of the City of New York is the perfect place for special events—weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate dinners, birthdays, graduations, holiday parties, and more! Guests pass through the Museum’s stately Fifth Avenue Terrace and into the beautiful Rotunda—the towering highlight of this grand Georgian-style mansion. The Museum’s dazzling contemporary light installation, Starlight, accentuates a sweeping marble staircase leading up to the second floor, where a reception hall with French doors overlooks Central Park. The front courtyard and Pontarelli Terrace are enjoyable in the summer months and can be tented during any season.

MCNY is a dream venue of a wedding. We loved to contrast of the colonial brick exterior with the classic marble interior. And of course there's Starlight! All of this allowed for e...
xcellent, unique pictures that perfectly captured our day. One of the things we loved about MCNY as a venue is that you're offered four different spaces (two inside, two outside) and can use them as you like. They had very limited restrictions on what we could/could not do, and the staff was incredibly easy and pleasant to work with. We felt like they were part of our team and wanted the best for us. During the months leading up to the big day, they allowed us to come and go with our vendors and our family without a bother. All of our vendors loved working at the Museum, too. Plus, it's right across the street from the Conservatory Garden, which is perfect for pictures. MCNY is totally one of a kind and we couldn't have been any happier with our experience. Our wedding was classy, elegant, and just simply beautiful. MCNY played a huge part in making it so special.

MCNY is hands down the most beautiful space in NY! I was between this and another museum and I picked this because it was so customizable, and it was very exclusive. I found that ...
most other larger museums or public gardens cram as many weddings in at the same night as possible but it wasn't the case here.
Beyond that, I loved Francesca our Director of Event Sales while planning our wedding this spring! She was very communicative, hands-on, and we could not be more pleased with our wedding venue! We had 0 problems at all during the entire process, from touring the venue to landing the contract, to the day of. It was a perfect experience.
The exhibits in the museum are also gorgeous and we were able to reserve other rooms not typically included based on our needs without a problem. The museum does have other requirements that make sense in context like no open flames, security protocols, etc but they were not really issues and the space and experience was fantastic. And the museum provided help before the wedding as well in regards to storing things overnight which they did not need to do or even offer.
Overall, I think choosing MCNY was the best decision we made during the entire process! Thanks again, MCNY team!
