NYBP was the perfect venue for us, and we think it would be for lots of other couples. My husband and I had 160 guests at our wedding. We are beer lovers, who love games, dancing, and deep conversation. Why is that important for this review? Be...cause NYBP facilitated a party that upheld all of those passions.
Our bar packaged included craft beers, which is such a rare thing at weddings. Folks loved having the craft options.
Because we had a larger number, we rented out the whole second floor. The main dining room was where we ate, but we did not have the dance floor in that room. It was off to the side in the "Cask Room." This created a really unique environment for a wedding. The dance floor was open and inviting, so folks who wanted to dance filled the Cask Room, but the dining room remained a place of conversation. We loved this feature.
Related, there was so much space!!! The second floor has the main dining room, an outdoor patio, the cask room, and another little area off of the dining room. Folks were all over the place and enjoyed the night however they wanted. It was fun for my husband and I to meet people where they felt most comfortable (i.e. dancing, chatting at a high top table outside, getting a drink at the bar, sitting at their assigned dining table, playing lawn games).
The food was AMAZING! We had a buffet package. We chose 3 entrees, and 2 sides, and had a side salad. We have gone to a lot of weddings where we were pretty bored by the dishes. Your same old steak or chicken dish. NYBP is not that! We had sliders and brisket at our wedding. We could have gotten mac and cheese, and should have! For folks who want something more classic, they do have those options. We just loved our guests telling us who extraordinary our wedding was. They said it stuck out, and the food was a big reason for that. We also got appetizers: fried pickles, brie pastries, and quesadilla cones... Amazing! If you want memorable food, book this venue!
Related, our guests really have only said positive things about our reception. That is NYBP is out of the ordinary. If you want to remember a unique wedding for the rest of your life, really book this place.
Most importantly, the staff is fabulous. Suzanne, our coordinator went above and beyond to meet our needs. I am a pretty pushy and needy human. I like charts and diagrams. I sent her about one new chart a week, and she never stopped responding. She just kept up with me, making sure I felt confident about our wedding day. She leads her crew well too. Whatever I communicated to her, made it back to her team. And her team, totally took care of us and our guests. Everything was beautiful, everything was better than we imagined. Matt and I worried about absolutely nothing the day of, because of this great staff! Way to go Suzanne and company!
I cannot say this enough, this venue is so unique. We wanted something that represented us as a couple. We care deeply about our friends and family. We wanted to meet the needs of every person who came to our wedding. NYBP helped us do that. It is a venue for many personalities. It is a venue for dancing, laughter, good conversation, great beer, great food, games. It is a venue for a guaranteed good time.
Thank you for starting our marriage off in such a beautiful way, NYBP! You all are fabulous!
OH LAST THOUGHT- This venue is super affordable!
