One Hanover Square by Masterpiece Caterers

o say she is amazing would be an understatement. Accommodating all of my needs , working within my budget and creating the most memorable day of my life is exactly what she did. Nikki’s attention to detail is unmatched. From the moment we met her we knew that we were in the right place. The food was unbelievable as well and so were the signature cocktails that Nikki created for us. We definitely got more than even we were expecting. What an amazing venue!! What an amazing team!! What an amazing experience!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

ng of celebration and reunion that welcomed our guests and indulged their spirits. We have been showered with complements from the attentiveness of the staff to the unparalleled aesthetic, emblematic of sensational Manhattan. The India House seamlessly orchestrated every element of our vision with magical effortless execution, making our most significant evening even more of a dream than we could have fathomed.

ccable. We have received nothing but accolades from our many guests as well. I know I speak for all us in saying that It was a pleasure to working with Kevin throughout the past year and accommodating our every need. Everything was perfect, even the February weather, and it was an evening none of us will ever forget. Best regards, Ken and Susan Sent from my iPad

first meeting to the last, they provided real-time answers/suggestions and provided hand holding when needed. Kevin's attention to detail far surpassed any of the other venues we researched. We made a decision on the spot when we stepped foot into India House and planned it in four months (again, all thanks to Kevin). The little details like specialty drinks, and escorting us to a private room post-ceremony for champagne and bites made all the difference and truly set the tone for the best night ever. Not to mention the venue which is kept in perfect condition - they are TRUE pros. Thank you, thank you!

t coordination with the band and vendors, which was a massive relief. It was such a magical evening and we feel very lucky to have had it at 1 Hanover.

e. And our guests did as well. Cannot recommend the India House enough!

ay was least stressful for the couple and the family. They were flexible regarding last minute changes. And food, our guests are still talking about it. We recommend the India House and Masterpiece caterers for any event. Sajana and Douglas

f incredible options for photos both in the venue and the surrounding neighborhood. Plus, guests could easily arrive by many subways, NY Waterways ferries, the Staten Island Ferry as well as numerous local parking garages. Within India House we loved that there were defined spaces for each part of the evening - the blue bar and lobby when guests arrived, the stunning red Hanover room for the ceremony, a floor above for cocktail hour and finally a flight higher for the reception in the Maritime room. It made for an easy flow in a stunning setting. The team at Masterpiece Caterers made the entire experience easy- from answering a battery of questions to hosting an intimate tasting with the chef. The day of couldn't have gone more smoothly- we were taken care of and put at ease. Guests couldn't say enough good things about the food- with so many options and an abundance available from welcome refreshments through to the cake and petit fours. For a truly classy event in an incredible venue, find this hidden gem!

o be much less than we expected. We were on our way back to New Jersey to try and find a venue when one last venue came to our attention in NYC. We thought, lets just give it a quick look. To our unbelievable surprise, WE FOUND IT - the perfect place - The India House at 1 Hanover Sq, lower Manhattan. When we arrived at the venue, the word "India" in the venue name threw us at first but to our surprise we walked into "Old World" New York, New York charm and elegance. We were greeted by Kathleen (who is no longer with the venue) who gave us a complete tour of the facility and by the time we reached the "red" room where the ceremony is held, we both had tears in our eyes and grabbed for our checkbook. The venue is 3 levels of beauty, elegance and unbelievable old world charm that impressed us and everyone who attended our wedding beyond belief. Masterpiece Caterers is in charge of the event itself (coordination, foodservice, etal.). Kathleen helped us put together a magnificent cocktail hour and main reception menu which included the finest details to complete an elegant, black-tie affair in Old New York. About 8 weeks before the wedding, we met Kathleen for a food tasting that was professionally organized and executed by their chef. I'll just say right now, the food from the cocktail hour to the plated meal at the reception was BEYOND COMPARE! I assure anyone reading this review that your guests will be amazed at the quality AND quantity of outstanding food at your event - omg so much food!! The day of the wedding, we met Kevin who organized everyone and everything from the moment the door open until the end of the event. All in all, the venue is immaculate, beautifully decorated and well run. From day one, Kathleen and Kevin were very attentive and made sure we understood the entire process and took EVERY opportunity to make us happy (thank you for the lemon bars Kathleen). Thanks to both of them, we had our dream wedding and will forever be in their debt.

ntire menu to our dietary restrictions and wedding traditions before, during and after the ceremony. The food was delicious, the venue was stunning; it was everything we could have asked for and more!

superb [quality and quantity - beginning with the drinks/snacks in the bride/groom suites and ending with the much raved about cookies and sweets that accompany the wedding cake]! It's been over a month and guests still mention the food and drinks (the rare cajun beef, seared tuna and arctic char are musts). The staff are helpful, kind and efficient. We had family come in from Spain [who spoke no English] and they made sure they had staff that spoke fluent Spanish - and went as far as to have the menu printed in both English and Spanish to make all of the guests feel welcome. This was very much appreciated. We would certainly recommend India House; if you decide to go with this venue you can rest assured that you will be in very capable hands. To those of you who are considering - take the plunge, and to those that have already decided - great choice!

ordinating both before and during the wedding. He made sure that all the little details were perfect and was so attentive to us. He really worked with us to create the wedding we wanted - including allowing my husband to put together his own beer list. Kevin's team does a wonderful job from top to bottom. The food was absolutely delicious and earned rave reviews from our family and friends. Best of all, the prices are really reasonable, especially considering what an incredible value they're offering. I really can't recommend the India House enough!

tairs Red Room. It was the perfect place for us to greet our guests and close enough for us to sneak away to their magical blue room bar to take photos of just the two of us. Our wedding was that Saturday at their other location, Elevated Acres and Dune Studios, just a few blocks away. We held the ceremony outside at Elevated Acres and danced the entire night away in Dune Studios. Kevin handled everything for us! Lighting, staging, rentals, floor plan and the food were all incredible. He was very responsive, professional and flexible with whatever task we gave him. We planned our wedding while living in San Francisco, so having Kevin on the ground was invaluable. He was trustworthy and reliable, therefore we knew the vendors he suggested were reputable. He handled all of our outside vendors including chalkboard artists, magician, balloon vendors and even our live doves vendor! I highly recommend hosting your wedding at India House, Elevated Acres and Dune Studios.

he beautiful and classy venue to the large selection of food options. We’re so pleased on how our wedding day turned out and extremely happy with our decision to have had our wedding at India House. Thank you, Kevin and the team at Masterpiece Caterers!

vin made everything run smoothly, he is quick to reply to emails, even when he was away on vacation. This was really a great venue, good food, my guest had fun and it all went off without a hiccup. I cant wait to come back for our one year anniversary dinner. Thank you Kevin!!!

ct our wedding was. It beat all of out expectations, and that is largely thanks to Kevin and his team. They really do go out of their way to make your wedding everything you want it to be and more. I recommend this venue with zero hesitation. It is a complete gem in Lower Manhattan - especially if you're planning on a fall or winter wedding (that's when India House shines the most, in my opinion). You can't do better than India House in NYC!

for the guests to hangout in. Kevin made sure all our concerns were addressed and accommodated us with our requests such as changing . He takes his job very seriously so there is no detail too little for him to handle.

executed the day exceeding our expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to work with Kevin again as he's truly a delight!

so many options (we went vegetarian) and the desserts and wedding cake were fabulous. You can not go wrong if you choose 1 Hanover square for your wedding.

and overall ambiance. Kevin, the General Manager was always available, very accommodating, and able to make last minute changes. His staff, from the Captain to the Bartenders and Waiters were very professional and proactive. Many of the staff are seasoned employees. We are still receiving rave reviews from our guests over the venue, food and service. The Food was OUTSTANDING! The cocktail party included butler service with mini lobster rolls, lollipop lamb chops, seared tuna canapés, potato pancakes with sour cream and smoked salmon and other finery. Stations included a pastrami and turkey carving board, a pasta station and others. The main courses included choices of bronzini, rack of lamb and others. The guests leaving were greeted with hot cookies, right out of the oven. For the out of town guests, our hotel was less than one block away, especially good for the older guests. The venue is handicap compliant, with elevators and bathrooms on all floors. I believe 1 Hanover has 11 rooms, we used most of them; ie: bridal suite, groom suite, meet with rabbi, signing marriage license, rehearsal for ceremony, grand foyer for guests to assemble, red room for ceremony, "trading pit" for cocktail party, Marine room for the grand reception, and another room for breakfast the next day. Kevin OVER delivered on service, food, and hospitality, For services provided the cost was very reasonable. We look forward to returning.

for a venue that felt like a classic and classy winter evening in Manhattan. We couldn't imagine ourselves in a hotel ballroom, a country club, or contrived Brooklyn "warehouse" over-decorated with mason jars. As soon as we stepped inside India House and met Kevin and Arlinda, we knew we found our venue. The space itself has the authenticity of old world New York without being stuffy. Kevin tastefully decorates and updates India House so it maintains timeless style. We were married in December, and the white lights, garlands, and soft candles gave our venue a romantic, warm ambiance. Perhaps most importantly though, Kevin and Arlinda and the rest of the staff are true professionals that ensured the evening was executed seamlessly. We utilized the entire venue, and they helped create a time table and flow to the evening that kept our guests moving throughout the building during different phases of the wedding. I really had nothing to worry about that day or night except enjoying myself and trying not to have my dress stepped on! Lastly, I can't write a review without mentioning the food. The meal was really important to my husband and me. We didn't want a dinner that was forgettable or served banquet salmon with asparagus. Our guests still rave about the food, right down to the spiked rootbeer floats for dessert. And maybe most amazingly, my husband and I actually had a chance to eat! Kevin set up time after the ceremony for us to sample all our hors devours and sip champagne in the privacy of our own room upstairs. We would recommend this venue a 100 times over. Thank you to the India House team for making our wedding a truly wonderful evening that reflected our tastes and style as a couple!

rs to make your wedding day go as well as possible. 1 Hanover Square was the perfect venue for what we envisioned, and it felt personal to us in a way. It is a beautiful and unique historical building filled with art work and vintage touches. One of our guests remarked that the venue is so beautiful, she felt tempted to just walk around the different floors and admire it. We were the only wedding booked that day (Sunday afternoon wedding) and had free reign of the floors. Masterpiece Caterers is a very professional business - it seems to me they have a full-time staff, in contrast to other venues/caterers who hire temps to work events. The difference in service is stark. I've been to many weddings before having my own and saw a lot of bad staff behavior - young, uninterested servers at cocktail stations; a venue valet who stole from our car; caterers who threatened not to serve guests unless they got tips upfront. This made me very apprehensive about my own wedding day, but the staff at Masterpiece Caterers went above & beyond. There was a woman named Sandra who helped fluff my train & veil before I walked the aisle - she saw me shaking from nerves & was super sweet, reassuring me that everything would be okay. We were overwhelmed with gift boxes & envelopes from our tea ceremony, and the staff made sure to pack everything neatly away for us to take home at the conclusion of our wedding. In fact, they had a chance to steal an envelope with $50 in it that we forgot on a serving cart, but they actually kept it safe by packing it with our gift boxes! Very very pleased. The food was delicious, and I love that they work with Financier Patisserie for the wedding cake. We chose something different, a passion fruit flavor, and were worried about how it would go over with guests. They loved it as much as we did! I didn't get to finish my dinner (do the bride & groom ever?) but I made sure to eat my slice of cake. I surveyed a good amount of guests after the wedding and they all raved about the food & service. One guest described the service as very classy. We're really happy to have had our wedding with Masterpiece Caterers & 1 Hanover Square.

professional help and guidance Kevin patiently provided for us regarding every decision we needed to make was invaluable and spot on! The food was amazing and the entire staff did an outstanding job, providing impeccable service throughout the entire evening! We have heard from many of our guests and the compliments have been effusive. So many people said that this was the best wedding they had ever been to! Consistently mentioned, was the beauty of the venue, the great food, and the attentive staff. We want to thank The India House for making Dorothy and James's wedding such a beautiful celebration. The day was perfect from start to finish! It was a wonderful confluence of outstanding professional management on the part of Kevin; a very attentive, friendly and competent staff; fabulous food and a gorgeous venue. Thanks to all at the The India House, we will have memories to cherish for a lifetime!

ryone was so impressed and said this was the best wedding they have attended. And I really give India House the credit for this. Their service for flawless. And the venue captures the energy, elegance and class of a NYC wedding. And I can't say enough good things about Adam Hartofilis (Director of Catering at India House). He is a perfectionist. Trust me when I say he cares more about your wedding than even you do. And he really does fulfill all your wishes. Adam is AWESOME. Trust your wedding plans to Adam and you will be amazed. Thank you so much to everybody at India House, especially Adam.

s, carefully articulating our options as we began planning and through to the end as he was there to guide me the way to walk down the aisle. We couldn't be happier with India House and Masterpiece Caterers and we want everyone to get married there! Kevin and his staff made sure that we were attended to in every respect. I had done my own centerpieces and they arranged them beautifully in the room, on the tables and fireplace mantle, along with wedding photographs of our parents and grandparents that they artfully displayed. And speaking of fireplaces, Kevin had told us that if the temperature was right, that they would light fires in both the ceremony and reception spaces (at no extra cost), something that I thought would lend a lovely coziness to the event. We got lucky, and on October 9 the temps dipped into the 50s so we had a lovely fire during our ceremony in the Red Room and also a floor above for our reception. There was nothing quite like hearing the sparks of the burning logs while we recited our vows. We decided to do food stations for dinner, rather than asking our guests to sit down for a meal. Everyone loved the fried chicken and waffles, mac and cheese, suckling pig and other delectable foods to choose from. Kevin made it a point that no one would go hungry and even supplemented our wedding cake with additional scrumptious desserts. As a New Yorker bride on a budget, I didn't think I could ever afford such extravagance, but Kevin worked within our constraints and the results were perfection. After our ceremony Kevin led us to a beautiful, private spot along the East River where our photographer took some amazing shots of us with a pink sky and Manhattan bridges in the background. If you love old New York, simply take a walk around India House and Stone Street to soak in that atmosphere of history, original architecture and cobble stoned streets. We have so many wonderful photos taken outdoors, as well as inside the beautiful stairwells and rooms of India House. Just writing this makes me wish I had a time machine to relive the day. Our advice to all New York City brides and grooms - get married at India House!

oved up to the Hanover Room for the cocktail party and to the Marine Room for the reception. Adam was so responsive to all of my specific requests (and I'm not that easy) and he worked so hard to make this day perfect. Two months after the event, my husband and I are still getting tons of compliments about how incredible our wedding day was. We danced for the entire night and a bunch of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Thank you Adam and the entire staff of India House. I could not recommend India House more highly!!

e ceremony and wedding in the Hanover Room which is the space with the red walls. Kevin and the team was very responsive to all our questions and requests. I work in the fashion industry and I am very detail oriented person. The venue is very classy and beautiful but I wanted to bring in extra decor to make it ours for the wedding. Kevin and the team was very accommodating and helped me execute perfectly the vision I had for my dream wedding! Thank you so much! The Bride

illion emails and questions, helped us with everything along the way and felt like family at the end of it. We loved everything about our experience!!

ndia House! LOVE!

ilia and antiques interspersed with architectural elements that made for a wonderful setting. Our wedding ceremony took place on the first floor, followed by a cocktail reception and then dinner and dancing on the second floor giving us the feel of being able to utilize a very large space. Views were magnificent from all vantages. The food was amazing, and more than a month later, we are still craving the delectable delights from our special evening. One would be remiss not to give attention and gratitude to the staff. They were everywhere - a tighter staff to patron ratio than one finds teacher to student in schools. The staff became immediate family, and our wedding involved a fair number of children who stayed up way too late. The staff were attentive to all of their needs ranging from off menu items to please youthful palates and extras on desserts. One cannot overstate the importance of enthusiastic and motivated staff in making one's wedding exemplary. Finally, we would be completely remiss without recognizing Kevin Mattner, who is clearly the heart, soul, spine, and foundation of Masterpiece Caterers. For months, Kevin took us through every step from beginning to end, from every tasting, to every referral, to suggestions we had never considered, he made our evening a success way beyond our dreams. His attention to detail and his patience when there is so much happening is clearly a testament to his decades in the business and experience pulling off the best year after year. Kevin is indeed a maestro who conducts a world class orchestra at Masterpiece Caterers. Thank you for a wonderful, wonderful experience.

spring weddings for several reasons. First, the building itself is gorgeous. The day of our wedding we were surprised with a sudden snowstorm that meant we couldn’t take any photos on nearby Stone Street, as we had previously planned. It didn’t matter, however, and we didn’t regret the lack of outdoor space for a second. Each room in India House is amazingly decorated with deep rich colors, interesting paintings and period details. The staff had fires lit in every fireplace and there were candles everywhere. Our photographers were able to get so many great shots without leaving the venue, and our photos are really unique and memorable as a result. We also had an amazing florist, but honestly did not have to do much to make the rooms beautiful. The space was cozy, lively and elegant, and really helped to set a special tone. I’ve since had several guests tell me how magical the venue was for a winter evening wedding. Second, the staff at India House are pros. We worked with Arlinda, and she was consistently cheerful and responsive. At our tasting, she and Kevin worked with us to make some much appreciated tweaks to the menu and helped brainstorm ideas for a late-night snack option. Perhaps most importantly, Arlinda just gets things done. Even better, she doesn’t have to be chased or reminded (something I found myself doing with some of our other vendors in the last few weeks leading up to the wedding) – instead, I felt like I was in great hands all the way through the wedding prep and on the day itself. Finally, I think India House is great value for money, particularly in New York (and even more so if you are getting married in the off-season). The catering and event spaces are phenomenal, and we were able to have access to the venue the night before and the entire day of the wedding for a rehearsal and prep. The staff was flexible and worked within our budget to modify some of the standard offerings. The operations team provide valuable day-of coordination services, meaning you won’t need to hire a separate coordinator or planner if you choose not to. All in all, this place is a true gem, and more than capable of delivering the kind of classic New York wedding that feels like it’s out of a film. We would absolutely encourage anyone looking for a wedding venue to consider it!

after an Italian Mansion that is cloaked in history - to the first-class staff, the 5-star food and top-notch service, our wedding was beyond exceptional. It was all I could've hoped for - and more. From day one, we felt we were in good hands. Kevin Mattner was accommodating, organized, on top of every detail and personable. Plus, he provided excellent suggestions on decor and recommendations for how to structure the night of the wedding. Working with him was effortless and stress-free -- especially the day of the wedding! I attribute the success of our event to him and his attentive staff. Aside from the staff, the food is amazing. From the abundant cocktail hour - with all the appetizers, crudite and the Streets of New Your food station - to the three-course dinner that was out-of-this-world to the outstanding wedding cake, I still can't believe we received this kind of quality at our very own wedding! This is something I'd expect from the best restaurants in NYC. Needless to say, we'll be visiting the Blue Bar there often. Finally, the price is very affordable. It's amazing everything you get with this venue. Between the outstanding food and drinks, A-list service and being able to entertain our guests throughout the historic NYC building (we had our ceremony on the first floor, cocktail hour on the second floor and reception on the third floor), I'm sure people think we spent much more than we did. Our guests keep telling us this is the best wedding they have been to and to me, that's the ultimate testament to this venue. It's a special place. If there was one thing I did right for our special day, it was to chose Masterpiece Caterers at 1 Hanover Square. I want to re-live that night for the rest of my life!

ly outstanding in helping us plan all the details. His exemplary experience, advice and insight helped us navigate what could be a very confusing and overwhelming process. Besides coordinating everything at the venue, he helped us find vendors that met our needs and cross off other details on our list. Everything tied together perfectly, from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception. The entire day flowed seamlessly without one small problem. I don't know what I would've done without Jonathan the day of the wedding. He directed the entire day so perfectly and helped me stay calm, relaxed, and able to enjoy the entire day. After our wedding, all of our guests commented that the food was the most delicious food that they've ever had at any wedding. It's now been almost 3 months since our wedding, and all of our friends and family are still talking about what a beautiful wedding it was. Weddings can typically be a very stressful time, but all of that stress was alleviated knowing that the staff at India House possessed the confidence and grace to make our day perfect. Saying Thank You cannot fully grasp the appreciation that my husband and I have for Kevin, Jonathan and the entire staff at India House, but from the bottom of our hearts, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for making the wedding of our dreams possible! Dana & Eric Stein

s the perfect venue for their NY inspired Art Deco wedding. Our guests are still raving about the India House experience! I say experience because it is rare that a wedding venue delivers amazingly delicious food, exceptional service, exquisite decor and staff dedicated and committed to making your wedding exceed your dreams. Arlinda is amazing! She was always there to answer questions or to offer suggestions thru the entire process. Her calm, professional demeanor was welcoming to this mother of the bride who found herself making last minute changes. If you want you and your guests to be treated like royalty go to India House so you too can hear everyone say "it was the best wedding I have ever been to!"

s wrong after meeting with Arlinda and the team at Masterpiece. Their menu and presentation were instant standouts and after a delicious tasting the choice to hire them became a no-brainer. On the day of the wedding, staff was on time and professional. One of my only regrets from the evening was not taking more time to enjoy the food! I am convinced the reception would not have been as well-received by our guests if not for Masterpiece's hard work. I would gladly hire them again for another event!

find a Manhattan venue at an excellent price point that exceeds your expectations! We had three floor and complete use of the venue! Arlinda and the staff at India House worked tirelessly to ensure that our blended Italian-Greek wedding was customized and executed to perfection. Our guests are raving about our wedding... from the delicious cocktail hour, excellent dinner, to our beautiful wedding cake... India house made our dream come true!

portantly, the food. This place is a GEM on all levels. The building itself is in a great location and the inside is really stunning. It is the opposite of a "wedding factory". Also, it is fully handicap accessible which made a huge difference for me (you would be surprised at how many venues aren't). And Kevin (and his staff) are truly everything a bride wishes for on her wedding day. There is no need to hire a separate wedding planner because Kevin is on-site and 100% attentive. He responds almost immediately to all emails and is just one of the most professional, yet warm, people I met in this wedding planning process. One last thing that I loved: India House is NOT out to "nickel and dime" you. The prices are quoted with tax included, and there are many "extras" that are included (like votive candles, for example). Please don't look any further and book the India House!!

t we booked it a year in advance. After seeing the beautiful space, we looked at a couple of others and knew in our hearts this was THE ONE. It felt right and it suited all our needs plus the price was just perfect. We met with a wonderful lady who was going to be our coordinator/manager. She left the company and we were transferred to another person. When that didn't work out, we spoke to Kevin and he immediately made us feel at ease and handled our account from that point forward. He is undoubtedly the most professional, amazing, competent person. He knows his job inside out and he really cares about the happiness of his clients. To him, there is no event or wedding too big or too small. Each one must be treated the same and we certainly felt that way. We had our ceremony in the Hanover Room and the entire 2nd floor to ourselves for cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Everything looked so beautiful and went smoothly. As a bride who works in events, I was very concerned about everything but Kevin handled it all with ease! All our guests raved about the food and the abundance of it. Everything I imagined turned out better than I expected. Everything flowed smoothly. We had a little hiccup with one of our vendors on the night of the wedding but Kevin dealt with it and literally made a miracle happen. He is always responsive to emails and phone calls and he literally alleviated a lot of worries from an already stressed-out bride. We cannot say enough great things about this space, the staff, Kevin, the food and drinks. They will always hold a special place in our hearts and we cannot thank Kevin and Masterpiece Caterers enough for all that they did to make our wedding as beautiful as it was!

and the entire feel of the evening. Thank you!

ce, great food - all at a surprisingly reasonable price for a Manhattan venue. We got married here on a Friday evening last month - perfect location since most of our guests work in Manhattan (out-of-towners stayed at the charming Wall Street Inn just across the street, as did we.) Our ceremony was in the Hanover Room on the first floor, and the reception with food stations and various seating (tall boy and seated tables) was on the second floor. The historic interior is so lovely, we barely had to think about decor. We got the one sunny day that week and were able to take fabulous photos on Stone Street, Old Slip, and Hanover Square. Staff was warm and welcoming, and took the time to help us find the right oysters and great wine for the reception. They were also very accommodating to my husband's and guests' gluten allergy. It was all so convenient - we could drop things off early and could leave gifts, etc. overnight. India House and its staff made for an amazingly easy, reasonably price, absolutely beautiful wedding.

wed us to focus on each other and our guests. Everyone had a great time and I've even had some people tell me it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! It was worth every penny. Thank you Arlinda, Masterpiece Caterers, and India House!

ighborhood right off Stone Street and a few blocks down from Wall St. People loved the location, and the pictures in the neighborhood and in the venue look outstanding. Exactly what we wanted from our NYC wedding. The Andaz hotel down the street was excellent in terms of location, price, and the rooms themselves. Also, there are some great bar spots to keep the party going afterwards right on the same street. The service was INCREDIBLE. The entire staff treated us like royalty but I have to particularly call out Kevin Mattner and Jonathan Nieves for going above and beyond from our first tour of the building, through the tasting, the planning stages, the rehearsal, and the wedding itself. They bent over backwards whether it was specially catering the menu to our needs, making sure the bar was stocked with what we wanted, making sure our families were taken care of, or anything else we could have needed. The food was outstanding! No tasting menu bait and switch, no microwaved hors d'ouvres, no bland potatoes and vegetables. We ended up going with the rack of lamb and seared arctic char for our dinner entrees and I can't suggest both enough. The entire menu was outstanding, and Kevin's willingness to work with you on what you want for your cocktail hour or dinner menu really demonstrates his and his staff's desire to deliver the perfect wedding. I also want to take a second to point out how much I appreciated their all-in-one pricing structure. So many NYC venues sneak in administrative fees, venue fees, make you bring certain items in from outside, and can really blow your budget out of the water. India House gave us a figure per head and a minimum head count. There was never any weird wedding math, or crazy calculations or secret fees. We were always able to stay on top of costs because of this, and that goes a long way. Again, can't stress how wonderful they made our entire experience. The place is beautiful, and they're always working to make it better. They made everything as easy as could be and I hope I get to use them again for future life events.

h my family and my husband's family-- and you will eat nothing but the best at India House! We got rave reviews from our family and friends about the food selections all night, and even in emails after the wedding was over! The location is gorgeous-- we used the entire venue and had a progressive event with the ceremony on the first floor, cocktail hour on the second floor, reception on the third floor and after party back on the first floor. People loved moving through the old mansion and seeing the beautiful artwork on the walls throughout the night. The entire staff at India House is so warm, inviting and attentive, and we could not have pulled off such a seamless and amazing wedding without the support of Arlinda, our Catering Manager and Jonathan, our Operations Manager. They went above and beyond to make sure all of our requests were incorporated into the event and that all of our guests-- from our parents to our friends to our little flower girls, had a blast! A wedding at India House is an experience of a lifetime - I highly recommend the venue - you are in great hands!

d its unique character as a historical building in lower Manhattan. The usage of both floors in the space, with the upper consisting of three rooms, offered much to experience for our guests and ourselves. We had a live band that performed very comfortably upstairs while permitting those not wanting to be in the immediate presence of the music to chat in another room. The staff at India House is top class and really made the whole experience a breeze for us as rather stressed newlyweds! Cannot recommend this unique, welcoming venue enough!

- our guests commented that they felt like they were in a gracious home, not a catering hall. We didn't have a formal sit-down dinner, but food stations throughout the second floor rooms with different sized tables - large, cocktail and high tops. This encouraged mingling. Kevin, the Event Manager, could not have been more helpful throughout the planning. He was happy to accommodate our requests, enthusiastic about our unusual-style event, re-jiggered the floor plan multiple times as we moved the location of the band and the tables. He had great suggestions, always responded quickly, and bent over backward to make us happy. And he gave us a wonderful price, even including an extra-special food station of our choice. I never imagined that we could have afforded such a sophisticated venue in Manhattan, but the price was right. It was the menu that really sold us, though, definitely not typical wedding food. We had fun and interesting choices -- an Asian station, Mediterranean station and comfort food -- a perfect blend that reflected the diversity of NYC cuisine. Our guests loved sampling different dishes, all delicious. At Kevin's suggestion, we had a late-night station -- NYC street food including hot dogs, pizza, pretzels, and more. This was a giant hit with our guests. And the wedding cake from Financier was scrumptious. I'm still getting phone calls and emails from friends and family telling me what a good time they had and how impressed they were with the food and the surroundings. "Best wedding I've ever been to" is a typical comment. I only wish I had another daughter, so I could do it all over again at India House!

etails along the way and reminded of deadlines as they were approaching. We always felt taken care of and reassured. We arranged to drop off our decorations and have the wedding rehearsal in the space the night before and everything went smoothly. Jonathan was our day-of coordinator, and he was friendly, energetic, and calm. The space is incredibly beautiful and the level of service and hospitality is unparalleled. I would be very skeptical of finding another venue whose staff went to such far lengths to make us feel happy, comfortable, and relaxed all day and all evening. We got a lot of compliments on the delicious food as well, and the cake provided by their neighbor, Financier. I would highly recommend India House as a wedding venue, you will not be disappointed.

s. Nevertheless we inquired about seeing the venue on our way back from the Poconos after looking at rustic wedding venues to of save a buck. We left a voicemail early Sunday afternoon, and got a callback 5 minutes later from Kevin Mattner (aka "The Sweetest Man on Earth"). We asked The Sweetest Man on Earth (TMSE) if we could stop by shortly from when he called, he answered with his rally cry, "Sure." When we arrived, I was taken back with the old New York high society vibe throughout its decor, and my heart was attached to the merchant ship paintings, and the hardwood floors made each step you take feel as if someone important was coming through. After seeing the three floors, each unique with its own aesthetic design, TMSE described how they utilize each area - 1st floor for ceremony, 2nd floor for cocktail hour, 3rd floor for dining and dancing... I loved the idea so much that I began preparing myself for the let down of affordability. After the tour, TSME discussed formalities. Here's where I was ready for the punch in the gut... but it never came. After he laid out initial options and pricing, we saw a glimmer of hope. TMSE told us he would come back with a proposal over email.... from there we achieved an agreement on a package that worked within our budget and delivered key items we wanted in our reception (btw, agreement ended with Kevin responding to our last request with "Sure"). From then on, TMSE was very accommodating with a moving guest list, tasting/menu options, receiving wedding day materials (pictures, flowers, etc...), and adding a cake after our local bakery wouldn't deliver into Manhattan. We held rehearsal the night before, and that's when we got the pleasure of meeting Jonathan - the Operations Manager. He introduced himself as someone who loves what he does (the truest thing anyone ever said). Jonathan coordinated the procession & recession that evening, and ensured we were in good hands. I asked TMSE if he is passing us off, and he responded with his 1st "No"... he insisted that he would be leading from a far and overseeing a variety of functions. Were left in great hands, as Jonathan executed our plans with a passion as if it was his own wedding. TMSE arranged the first look to be at a nearby atrium/plaza called Elevated Acre. When I learned the escalator was broken and knowing our parents would have trouble using the stairs, TMSE quickly arranged for access to the connected office building's elevator. The ceremony went off without a hitch. The reception was everything we wanted and more. Plenty of food and easy access to drinks. We had a cocktail reception format... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. It works great since it really fits with utilizing the multiple rooms of the 2nd floor. We had dessert and dancing on the 3rd floor for the last two hours... It felt like the best club in NYC for those 2 hours. To cap it off, TMSE let us stay a little over the finish time which really made the guests happy. If you are considering India House and if you are like us which was a couple looking for a fun and relaxed wedding to be enjoyed by all, then book a cocktail reception wedding at India House and tell TMSE that Andrew & Mariam send our regards.

vin and the team made everything seamless . They were so cooperative with special requests with the set up, letting us stop by multiple times and have additional tasting when we had difficulty making up our minds. You can not beat the affordability of the event, especially considering the gorgeous and historic venue, delicious food and impressive service.

DE our wedding reception. Weeks later, I still have family emailing and even sending cards to thank us for the wedding! Everyone felt welcomed and taken care of all evening. They've raved about the food, the ambiance, and the service. They all left feeling like they'd been treated to a truly special evening. We booked VERY far in advance - we first contacted India House almost two years before the wedding (I'm not implying that this is required, I'm just saying we had a LOT of time to get to know these people). We were offered a tour (which turned into several tours) and were even treated to food and drinks at the Blue Bar before we booked so we could be comfortable with the quality we were getting. Every time we went back to take care of some detail, we were offered drinks and asked to stay a while, even when we ran in to throw some boxes of decorations at them the Thursday before the wedding (and they seemed disappointed when we didn't have time to stay!). The customer service experience here is so much more than just the wedding day. We originally worked with someone else at India House who left about six months before the wedding. We panicked, but Kevin called us on a Saturday to go over every detail we'd previously discussed and make sure he knew exactly what we were expecting. From then on, I knew we were in good hands and I think the switch certainly worked out in our favor. Kevin knows his business like no one else. He's seen it all and will offer his observations and expertise without making you feel like you're being judged for your preferences. We were never told no. We felt like Kevin and everyone at Masterpiece Caterers approached every conversation with the goal of making our vision happen, instead of supervising our choices to make sure they fit in with THEIR preferences. We had a few vendors who tried to bend us to their will and it was always such a relief to speak to Kevin. Any time we spoke and I would make a throwaway comment about "oh it would be nice if we could..." or "xyz would make this a lot easier", suddenly that's what was going to happen. It felt like playing make believe and nothing was off limits. I think Kevin would have tried to find a unicorn if that's what we decided we really needed that day. And it was never in a begrudging "Fine, if you're going to be difficult about it, I guess we have to" kind of way. It was always "Oh fun! Let's try it!" I enjoyed the wedding planning process because Masterpiece Caterers allowed us to have fun with it. I knew every single detail would be perfect on the day of, and it was. We can't thank Kevin and his team enough.

always had a really wonderful experience. I have a great relationship with both Kevin and Gieto and knew that they would take very good care of my fiance and I for our wedding day. Well everything WAS beyond perfection from the ceremony to the cocktail style reception. Being a control freak I wanted to see the reception room before the guests did so we arrived a bit early, right after our first look, and with just one glance at the room I was brought to tears. Everything I had planned looked beyond what I'd imagined and Kevin had been there for me every single step of the way taking care of it all! One of the things we were complimented on the most was the food - our family and friends STILL talk about it! I have to say that Kevin is truly the best there is, he is a true professional who is passionate about what he does and will deliver nothing but the best and more! The whole team really outdid themselves and we couldn't have been any happier with things! Thank you Masterpiece Catering for the most perfect wedding day!!!

level of service they provided along with attention to detail. Additionally, it's a gorgeous space and the food is great! My guests were all raving about it. All in all, great experience and we had a wonderful, seamless, and stress-free (well, as stress-free as a wedding can be!) event at the India House.

vice was excellent. Everyone was very helpful and they set up all the personal decorations I provided for the chairs and tables. Arlinda and her staff made certain everything ran smoothly and they work hard to make sure every detail is perfect. The wedding was a dream come true and we could not have picked a better venue. Thank you for making our wedding a beautiful memory we will treasure always.

, location, and historical significance of India House, one of it's biggest selling points was Kevin Mattner. Kevin was reliable, understanding, and professional. I did not have any concerns going into the big day and that is all because of Kevin. India House is lucky to have him. Additionally, Alanna, our day of coordinator, was a HUGE help. Whenever I needed anything, she was there. I cannot say enough about India House and it's staff. I am eternally grateful for the day that they provided us. And we look forward to many more celebrations there in the future!!!

there weren't at the top of their game. It makes us so happy to say that Masterpiece Caterers at India House are at the top of their game, and then some. We booked the venue a year prior to our wedding, and Kevin -- who runs MC -- worked with us every step of the way from putting the menu together to answering our questions about table arrangements and even the artwork present in the space. There was no matter too small or seemingly insignificant for Kevin -- he responded to us consistently, promptly, and always to our satisfaction. We never, ever felt nickel and dimed (which, again and again, was a warning we received from all of our married friends -- "the caterer will nickel and dime you") -- Kevin was always upfront about all costs and more often than not made changes and additions at no extra charge. On the day of, everything was exactly as promised, and anything we asked to change at the last minute was immediately taken care of. We never thought a wedding could be stress free, but Kevin and the amazing crew at Masterpiece Caterers do such a good job taking care of you that, truly, you get to just enjoy it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Masterpiece Caterers for any event in the future, and if you choose them for your wedding you will not leave disappointed!

very aspect of the wedding planning. My mom kept referring to him as a “gem.” Everything we asked, Kevin found a way to make it happen. From the food, to the décor, to the timing of events, he bent over backwards to accommodate us. He helped my husband and I create a menu that paid tribute to our cultures and earned rave reviews from our guests. There was also an event on Stone Street that day, which I was initially nervous about, but Kevin was extremely proactive in communicating with our vendors and helping our guests to make sure no one was impacted on the day of the wedding. Our guests cannot stop complimenting us on the venue. They loved the old New York feeling and the fact that every event took place on a different floor. It was different and elegant. My husband and I didn’t want a typical catering hall and we really found that with India House. We are extremely grateful to Kevin and his team for everything they did to make sure we had a truly memorable wedding! I would highly, highly recommend India House for your next event.

e rest were almost a secondary concern for us. We were so lucky because Masterpiece Caterers ended up being such a spectacular operation! We worked with Kevin for nearly a year to put our wedding together. He was so responsive and professional. I was so at ease because he was always two steps ahead. The wedding planning felt effortless thanks to him. When we got around to our tasting we were blown away by the quality of the food and the diverse selection. Kevin also helped us include a couple of our favorite beers in the standard bar offerings. The day before the wedding and the day of, Katherine helped us tie together the last minute details. Again, we just felt so at ease. I can't recommend Masterpiece Caterers highly enough. Their leadership, staff and venues are fantastic. Such an incredible value in New York City. Our wedding was flawless thanks to them!!!

experience and evening. Our guests mentioned it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. And we had a blast!! Kevin, Alanna and the team put us at ease to enjoy the day. The space is beautiful, the food delicious and the setting ideal.

We so appreciated all they did to run everything on schedule, so smoothly, covering every detail, so we could just enjoy the wedding. Kevin could not have been more patient throughout the preceding year, answering my many questions! A special shout out to Katherine for staying late with us on Friday night waiting for photos, and then arranging them so artfully! The food was delicious, and the service staff did a great job. Between the lovely and historic venue and Kevin and Katherine's thorough attention, we could not be any happier with the Newlywed's choice of Morningside Castle for their wedding reception.

decision we made throughout the entire planning process. Everything from the first meeting with manager Kevin until the last dance was a complete success. With both the bride and groom working full time (and no wedding planner) – the staff at India House was simply incredible with their availability, assistance, patience and especially coordination with vendors, including excellent recommendations of many that are familiar with and worked the India House previously. We can’t thank Kevin and his staff enough for all the special accommodations made, including providing multiple indoor and outdoor (weather permitting) options for the ceremony and reception, early and often access to the facility, extra help with our special center pieces, and flexibility with the AMAZING menus for cocktail hour, dinner and dessert – including baking cookies in their own ovens (from the special recipe dough we provided) so the cookies would be warm when served with ice cold milk. From the first minute of the ceremony until the very end of the night, someone from the staff was never more than a glance away if we needed anything, but never noticeable or overbearing. The building is gorgeous inside and out, sound system for DJ or band state of the art, and the atmosphere simply perfect for any special event. Thank you again Kevin and staff SO MUCH for making our dream day not only a reality, but such a wonderful event that we and our families and friends in attendance will remember and cherish always.

er space: India House. Little did we know, India House would be the perfect space for our wedding. Besides the fact that India House is conveniently located just two blocks from our apartment, the actual space was what really sold us: classy, nautical, and charming all at once, India House reminded my now-husband and I of his family and upbringing, which made the decision a no-brainer. We booked the space after seeing it twice (first viewed it just the two of us, then visited a second time with our parents), but were sold on it from the start when we first met Kevin. Kevin had given us the grand tour of all three floors, explaining the history, the decor, and how the space was used to its best ability to host weddings of many sizes. He explained how some features were updated, but that MC wanted to keep India House true to its roots, which is what really makes the space special. As you walk from room to room, you can't help but appreciate the architecture and vibe. As time went on, my husband and I were introduced to Jessica, who would be our day-of coordinator (HUGE perk, when you don't have an actual wedding planner). Jessica worked with us for months on end, answering my never-ending questions and countless emails. She was truly great to work with, and now, post-wedding, I know I wouldn't have managed that day without her guidance and knowledge. TL;DR, our wedding went off without a hitch thanks to the team at Masterpiece Caterers. Two months later, every time my husband and I walk past India House, we are so grateful to have hosted our wedding there - from the food selection (which - unbiased - I truly believe is the best wedding menu you could ever ask, as it far surpasses your typical wedding meal and is outrageously delicious) to the overall feeling of the space (intimate, classic, and warm). Our guests loved it, our families loved it, but most importantly, WE loved it and all of the memories that were had there. All of the planning was well worth it at the end of the day, and it couldn't have been done without Kevin, Jessica, and the hardworking staff at India House.

tep of the way. Kevin reviewed every detail with us from our food selection to the order of our precession. The staff was extremely attentive to us on our wedding day; they even went above and beyond by enhancing our decorations with candles on the bookshelf. My husband and I would highly recommend Masterpiece Caterers and their staff to coordinate your wedding day!

free requirements.

e of venue, but it was all made even better by the fact that the staff was so attentive and thorough. The food was good and the cake was incredible. After the chuppa was used in the ceremony, the staff even repurposed its flowers to decorate the cake and the Marine Room. The staff also left hors d'oeuvres for me and my wife when we ducked out to be alone immediately after the ceremony. They are very experienced and they care a lot. I would highly recommend Masterpiece Caterers at India House to anyone planning a wedding.

desirable top floor (typically a min of 100)! We ended up using a different place for our wedding but this is a good option for a negotiable wedding venue.

m wedding come true. Always helpful, gracious and with a smile on her face in answering all of our questions. I appreciated her honesty when I asked for opinions and all her tips. Sophistication, class and attentiveness like you would not believe. Our intimate wedding of 60 felt just how we wanted for it to come across warm and as if we were inviting our closest family and friends into our home for a special dinner. Great location!!! The food was great and the staff. STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE!!!! - Thank you ALL!!!

nd, we discovered India House by chance and I like to think it was serendipity at work: I had a prohibitive work schedule, so my husband and mom were tasked with visiting venues. One day, after viewing several duds, my husband called Morningside Castle in a last ditch effort to see one last venue for the day. He was informed that the Castle doesn't host summer weddings, but their sister venue, India House, does. They jumped on the opportunity and traipsed over. They were immediately enamored. After hearing their effusive endorsements, I quickly made an appointment to see this magical place myself. The first time I laid eyes upon the mansion's character-filled majesty, I was sold. We were further enticed by the staff's superior customer service (e.g., we were served food and beverage at the Blue Bar after our tour). The icing on the cake (literally): India House would take care of all the catering and we wouldn't have to rent anything (e.g., linens, utensils, etc.). From the contract signing to the day of the wedding, we worked with Arlinda. She was responsive and worked with us on every wedding day detail. The biggest wedding planning highlight was the food tasting. Arlinda graciously allowed my parents to join and it was a delightful evening of palate pampering. The quality and presentation of the food was impressive and the bartender worked with us until he got our signature drink just right. Also, a few weeks before the wedding, with Arlinda's help, we were also able to figure out the perfect spot in India House for the first look photos. That was huge relief! Fast forward to our rehearsal, which went swimmingly: Arlinda and her team had refreshments waiting for us! And they were patient with us, making sure that everyone was comfortable with the ceremony proceedings. Our wedding day was stunningly sunny so we were able to get photos in Hanover Square, along the waterfront, and on quaint Stone Street. Because we had approx. 200 guests, we had the whole mansion to ourselves. I particularly loved that the events of the evening took place on different floors. It could have been mayhem, but Arlinda and her team guided the evening along and made sure everyone knew where they needed to be and that they were well attended to. Overall, the day was peppered with thoughtful touches: Whatever we needed (a steamer, Krazy glue, drink refills, etc.) was quickly addressed; our bride and groom suites were stocked with breakfast and lunch while we got ready; right after our ceremony, Arlinda and her team had an assortment of hors d'oeuvres and prosecco awaiting us in a private room so that we could regroup before joining our guests for the cocktail hour. Final thoughts: We didn't have an outdoor wedding, but we were able to have a change of scenery throughout the night. Our guests were blown away by the venue and the food. We left for our honeymoon feeling like we had the perfect evening to celebrate such a momentous day. Thank you so much to Arlinda and the entire India House team!

e event, our coordinator Jessica was helpful, friendly, and responsive to questions and requests. She worked with us and our vendors to ensure that we had everything we needed, and arranged meetings whenever I requested them so we could visit the space and discuss plans. On the day of the event, Katherine and Alanna, who coordinated at the reception, and their team were extremely attentive and helpful, both to my husband and me and to all our guests. They made everything seem effortless and were always right there when anything was needed. We were allowed to begin dropping off reception items (decor, favors, etc.) five days beforehand. Of course, we ran late and brought everything to India House the morning of the event, but the staff was very kind and did not object to our last minute drop-offs at all and they set up everything beautifully. Masterpiece Caterers' chefs are incredible. My husband and I refer to our tasting as "the best lunch date ever," because it was so fun and delicious. The tasting courses were all so good, it was very difficult to pick which ones we wanted to serve at the reception! The caterer was able to accommodate vegetarian and vegan guests and guests with food allergies with special meals, and the bartenders had no trouble whipping up our signature cocktails. The cake, which was provided by Financier Patisserie as part of the contract with Masterpiece Caterers, was amazing (all three cakes we opted to try were excellent, but the French strawberry shortcake custard cake we decided on was magnificent). Not only delicious, it was also lovely, with sugar flowers in our wedding colors on each tier (I had been unsure whether cake decorations would cost extra, but was thrilled to learn that they were included in the price!). In addition to Masterpiece Caterers' great staff and contractors, India House itself is beautiful. The architecture is classic, with clean lines and high ceilings, not cluttered up by too much decoration. We did not need to bring in outside lighting, because the Marine Ballroom can be subtly lit in various colors (we chose a golden glow to offset the candles in our centerpiece arrangements, and it looked very natural and warm). The building has been recently renovated, and is in better shape than some other spaces we considered. There is also an elevator, which was helpful both for our vendors and for less mobile guests, as well as restrooms on every floor (some spaces we saw didn't have them so well distributed). We held our cocktail hour in the red room on the first floor, then brought everyone upstairs to the third floor for the reception. This gave our vendors time to put finishing touches on the ballroom even while our cocktail hour was starting downstairs. All in all, it was a perfect night, due to the hard work of the staff of Masterpiece Caterers and India House! Thank you, we can't recommend you enough!

wedding day. She helped coordinate with our other vendors and was happy to take it off our plate. They truly understand that this was not a day for them, that it was OUR day and did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed it and believe me that is unique in the wedding business. The space was perfect for our wedding of 60. The dance floor was separate from the dining room which made it great for our older family members to have a more quiet place to socialize. With our added lighting and flowers, the venue looked like $1 million. AND THE FOOD... WOW. So many people came up to us and were impressed. Our DJ who has been in the business for years and has attended hundreds of venues in the tri-state area made mention of how superb it was. They are definitely about quality not quantity but everyone left stuffed and HAPPY. Thank you so much to the team. We will never forget it, thanks to you guys!

or making my daughter's wedding a memorable event!

Hanover Room and our reception on the 2nd floor in a multi-room set up with dinner, dancing, and merriment! Everything from planning the wedding to the night of was perfection. Kevin and his team are true professionals and visionaries. My husband and I wanted to customize many aspects of the wedding to honor both of our heritages. Kevin was beyond accommodating the entire time and brought the night to life in a way beyond my wildest dreams! Additionally, Kevin and his staff are very hands on and walked us through all the tiny details, so we truly enjoyed the big day. I will never forget the feeling of seeing all of the elements come together the night of. Everything that I had imagined in my wildest dreams was better than I could have hoped for! The flowers, the candy bar, the wine bar, and every detail we had hoped for looked like an unbelievable dream scape. I can't forget the food! Sometimes catered food can be somewhat underwhelming. Not in this case! The dinner was delicious and amazing. People commented that it was an unforgettable meal. The cocktail hour, appetizers, cheese board, were raved about! The seated dinner was perfect. Scallops, fish, and steak cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. We also decided to do TWO wedding cakes. One traditional and one French. The in house patisserie, Financier, again blew us away. The colors of the flowers and details were unreal! I keep looking at photos and reliving each moment. The cakes were also the most delicious we had ever tasted. We chose flavors that reminded us of childhood, and they were absolutely delicious. If you want an unbelievable, unforgettable, and romantic night, trust Kevin at Masterpiece. I am a high strung person. I asked many questions throughout the planning and had a ton ideas. My only regret is that I fretted or worried at all during the planning process. Every item and each detail was so thoroughly though out and tended to by the Masterpiece staff, that I should have relaxed for the whole engagement. Our wedding at India House was the best party anyone had ever attended! Pure happiness and perfection. I wish I could relive the entire night in slow motion and savor each taste and experience one more time. Thank you, Kevin and staff!
