Sixty Pine Street

India House was the most perfect venue for our wedding! It's a historic gem in the financial district. The staff goes above and beyond to deliver on value and service. We held our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner reception there and also worked with Masterpiece Caterers for our welcome party the night before at Sky55. You won't need to do much for decoration given the natural charm and dynamic spaces available for use. The food was also a big hit with our guests. Highly recommended!

I have taken way too long to write this review because I've been struggling with how to describe such an incredible experience. First, I will say that the primary reason we chose India House was because of Kevin. That's not to take away ANYTHING from the venue because its incredibly beautiful and unique. It's just that we both knew as soon as we met Kevin, we would be taken care of from start to finish as though we were his only customers and we were not wrong. The man must have several clones of himself to be able to accommodate all the different weddings that go on there with such white glove service. Kevin was the only Event Director to ask me what our budget was and from there how we could work backwards to ensure we stayed within budget. Every other venue contact just gave me a number and that was that. Kevin was adamant that weddings should be about the couple and not just about $$$$. We are so incredibly thankful for him and his OUTSTANDING staff who made the actual day run as smooth as can be. Now the venue itself...indescribable. We spent some time looking around the city and nothing had seemed really unique to us until we visited India House. I remember walking up the cobblestone streets and seeing chandeliers glowing inside through the windows and feeling like I was being transported back to a different time in NYC. We stepped inside and that feeling did not leave. It's beautiful, historical, and so unique for a wedding. We had a little over 200 people and we utilized every room in the building with our ceremony on the 3rd floor, cocktail hour on the 1st, dinner on the 2nd and dancing back up on the 3rd. Our guests are still talking about what an awesome venue it was and how they loved that they got to see the entire building! We had been worried about the flow leading up to the day but it really worked out perfectly. Last bit I want to touch on - the FOOD! Tons and tons of it! There are several different food stations you could choose from but I wasn't really finding anything that represented my hometown (Fl. Keys). We had chosen Chinatown for NY, Mediterranean for Greece (our honeymoon), and we were looking for something to represent the Keys. When I mentioned this to Kevin, he was so excited to come up with a whole new station for us and we spent time going over what dishes could be included. It turned out AWESOME and we had so many people comment on the food. Again - can't say enough for Kevin and his team as this was such a nice touch for us! To us, our wedding was absolutely perfect. We wouldn't redo a single thing other than to go back and do it again as a wedding guest :) People have asked if we have the post wedding blues - the answer is definitely no. Wedding planning was stressful and crazy and we're glad that part is over - we're only sad we don't have a reason to talk to Kevin every day!

1 Hanover Square was the perfect venue for our wedding reception and we couldn't have been happier with our choice!!! Kevin and his team were reliable, detail-oriented, and highly professional throughout the entire process. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue and how delicious and excellent the food was for both our cocktail hour and our buffet. We were able to enjoy the space to ourselves the day of our wedding reception, with our cocktail hour on one floor and dinner and dancing on another floor. The space allowed for a beautifully intimate, elegant, and charming evening, and Kevin and his team ensured that everything went smoothly leading up to and day-of our wedding. Picking 1 Hanover Square for our special day couldn't have been a better decision!!! Thank you for an unforgettable and magical day!!

My husband and I got married here in November and everything was superb. Sonia, Nikki, and the entire staff were extremely helpful and informative throughout the process. They are very easy to work with. The venue itself is beautiful, historic, and its location is convenient. All of the food was excellent, from the cocktail hour through dinner and dessert. There was plenty of food and servers to pass it around, and the quality of the cuisine is phenomenal. You will have many choices for your menu and the tasting is a fun time, although it was hard to choose. Overall we would absolutely recommend India House/Masterpiece Caterers to anyone who is planning a wedding in Manhattan.

I initially went to India House as a guest of a wedding. I loved it so much, I had to book it for my own! Amazing venue for my Fall wedding! It doesn’t even feel like New York City once you step foot into the venue. Working with Kevin gave me the comfort that everything was under control. He helped ease the stress that I always was under! The prompt responses and flexibility definitely was a highlight of working with this venue. The food was amazing. I most loved the fact that there were many interesting items to chose from on the menu instead of the traditional expected dishes from catering halls. My guests were amazed by the excellence of the food they were served! Until this day, I still hear them raving! Hosting my wedding at this venue allowed me to entertain in a unique way, in which I will never forget! Thank you for all the amazing memories!

Where to even begin....Kevin and his team made our dream wedding come true! After seeing dozens of venues in NYC, we walked into 1 Hanover Square and knew that this was our venue. Kevin is incredible to work with. He is so detailed-oriented, incredibly responsive and makes you feel like you are the only people he is working with. He gives such good advice and recommendations on what he thinks will make the night go smoothly. Every single staff member provided incredible service and all of the little touches that you may not think about at a wedding were covered. From the open bar (doesn't close so people don't rush it), coat check, private dinner with my husband before the cocktail hour, the delicious food, I could go on and on. All of our guests were so impressed and amazed by how elegant the venue and evening was. Nicki was a dream to work with on our wedding day - she helped with the event schedule, got me espresso, steamed my dress and made me feel so comfortable. You will not regret booking your wedding here! If I could do it again, I would in a heartbeat.

My husband and I were struggling to find an amazing but budget friendly venue in the city for our wedding and we felt like we were running out of options. By chance we stumbled across 1 Hanover Square through The Knot website and the manager there Kevin Mattner reached out. From the beginning Kevin and his team were so accommodating, giving us a wedding package option that was within our budget, and letting us bring our families for a couple of visits so they could see the space. Kevin and his team were always reachable and handled all of our vendors the day of. The food and liquor package we received was amazing, and all of our guests are still complimenting us on the food and the beauty of the venue. Can't recommend this venue enough!

My husband and I visited the venue exactly one year before our wedding and knew right away that it was where we wanted to have our wedding. Sonia was amazing throughout the process and was very responsive and patient with my seemingly endless questions. The day of was absolutely unforgettable. Sonia and her team lit the fireplaces and decked everything out in candle votives, which made the venue so romantic (exactly the feel we were going for)! We had approx 250 guests so we utilized all 3 floors of the venue. Cocktail hour was on the first floor (highly recommend the pastas station and the south pacific pig roast station), our seated dinner was on the second floor and ceremony/dancing was on the third floor. Our guests raved about the unique venue and delicious food and cake. Thank you Sonia, Nikki and Marcella for an AMAZING and UNFORGETTABLE night!!

Our wedding at 1 Hanover Square was superb. Kevin and his team are exceptional and helped handle everything from logistics to bustling my wedding dress. Our guests raved about the food which included items like fried chicken and waffles to lobster rolls. They were even able to accommodate dietary restrictions. I highly recommend this venue. It exceeded our expectations.

This review is for both the India House and Masterpiece Caterers. For the most part, both the venue and MC delivered a wonderful wedding experience. There were a few avoidable day-of miscues, though, that kept them from getting 5 stars. The venue In a word, STUNNING. If you've already visited, then you understand what I'm talking about. If you've never been there, absolutely go, because it's impossible to capture the feeling and decor of the place in a short review. The decor, the architecture, the colors, everything contribute to an absolutely gorgeous venue. The location Perfect for us. Conveniently located in lower Manhattan, but away from the annoyance of midtown, you get the best of several worlds. You're within a few blocks of anything you might need last minute, close by to plenty of bars and restaurants for rehearsals, the after party, and other events that weekend, within a short walk of several hotels for out-of-town guests, and right near several beautiful spots to take pictures. We did ours at Elevated Acre and it was just amazing (and easy!). The food Great. IMO, food at a wedding shouldn't steal the show, but should be very tasty and satisfying. MC delivered on both of those. Everything was prepared well, presented elegantly, and tasted great. The service Top notch. Kevin is very clearly a seasoned professional and takes his job very seriously. Our only gripe What ended up being just an amazing and expectation-exceeding experience was slightly tainted by a few avoidable mistakes. Our day-to-day contact missed the boat on a couple of details. She was very gracious and accepting of them when originally discussed, but just wasn't able to remember or follow through on them the day of. For instance, one of our guests only drinks vodka with grapefruit juice. We had brought this up early and were assured that it would be accommodated (otherwise we would have just provided our own), but unfortunately it was not. Another is with the vendor meals. We repeatedly had to remind her that we only needed 2, but every version of our contract/program called for 3. Even our final bill, which we then had to re-remind her that we shouldn't be paying for, since we only had 2. We had requested a card box (which was beautiful BTW) at the rehearsal, but when we arrived at the venue the day of, it was nowhere to be found. The staff eventually found it and put it in place at the last minute. There were also some issues with remembering the final guest count. We had confirmed it at the rehearsal, but it was still wrong on our final bill. There were a couple of liquor choices that we had arranged ahead of time that were not in place when we arrived at the venue the day of. I noticed and brought it up, and to Kevin's credit, he got it fixed right away. But it was disconcerting in the fact that had I not noticed it, it wouldn't have been caught. Kevin very quickly and graciously did his best to remedy as many of these small issues as he could, but the lack of attention to detail and follow through on the part of our day-to-day contact left a bit of a sour taste in our mouths in what was otherwise a fantastic experience.

There aren't enough words to explain our gratitude and appreciation for Kevin Mattner and the entire staff at 1 Hanover Square/Masterpiece Caterers - but we'll try! From our very first visit, we knew in our bones that India House was where we needed to get married. The venue is stunning, historical, and unique - a vibrantly/well decorated brownstone tucked off of Stone Street in the Financial District. It's a true hidden gem, which in the NYC wedding circuit, is definitely hard to find! We took full advantage of all 3 floors and every beautiful room, which gave each event in our wedding night a distinct and special feel. The food was unbelievable (the tasting may have been one of the best days of our lives, right behind the wedding!) and we were able to have creative input in the menu to reflect our favorite foods. The menu was far from the average wedding menu, and our guests can't stop thanking us for that!! But the staff at India House is what really makes the venue soar - Kevin and his team are the definition of professional, thoughtful, responsive and wise. We were able to rest easy during the (stressful) planning process knowing we had them in our back corner. Our wedding night was executed flawlessly due to their impeccable direction and dedication to helping make our dreams come true! We cannot wait to celebrate our anniversary at India House's swanky Blue Bar next September, and to recommend 1 Hanover Square to every single NYC bride for many many many years to come. :)

The best, the best the best. It was a happy accident we found Kevin and India House. We looked all over the place at lofts, hotels, event spaces, etc. and didn't know what we wanted. I probably reached out to 40-50 places. Of them, I think Kevin was the only person to call me right after getting my inquiry. I had inquired about a property that was about to be closed but he told me he had another one in the financial district. I could not believe how beautiful and perfect India House ended up being. It is historic and well-kept but feels cozy at the same time. Kevin was extremely affordable and on top of that, the food and service was extraordinary. You will not find a better price for the service Kevin and his team will provide. He is very reachable and his staff is also very caring and helpful in the planning and until you leave the night of your wedding. He was also flexible so we could add our personal touches. I wish we had another event to celebrate because we would definitely do it at India House.

I cannot say enough about our experience with One Hanover Square, the staff, and especially Kevin Mattner. From the very first phone call til the wedding over a year later, everything was so easy and perfect. Two weeks after one of our daughters wedding in our hometown in Georgia, the other daughter got engaged and wanted to be married in NYC, where she lives. I was a bit overwhelmed and knew nothing about weddings in NYC. We found One Hanover Square thru a reciprocal club in our town. Kevin was amazing ! Very prompt responses to phone calls, texts, emails, etc. also, really helpful with details and vendor suggestions. We had the ceremony and reception both there. Everything went so smoothly. And, the food ! I could go on and on. It was so good and plentiful. We could not have been more pleased.

We wish there were more than 5 stars to give. My husband and I fell in love with the venue as soon as we walked into 1 Hanover square. It reminded us of nice classy ‘Beauty and the Beast’ dinner reception and that’s exactly what we had sought for 100 guests we planned. Spacious bridal suite, classy antique paintings, elevators, clean bathrooms... etc. As we were speaking with Kevin to get planning started, we knew he was going to be “our person” for our day. His smile he had when he described about the food and his staff was genuine. That confidence was not from a salesman who just wanted to fill in the date for the heck of filling in, but from a person who truly wishes to make your day impeccable. Transitions were smooth from the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, which was crucial to me so that guests won’t be confused on the day of. After the ceremony, Kevin’s Team set aside mini dining table for the newly wedded husband and wife to have the moment alone and enjoy the food. Great resting point for us to relax before greeting the guests and let marriage sink in. Oh, cant talk enough about food. Usually wedding food isn’t what we look forward to for the wedding, but boy, we are hoping to have one of our friends to get married at 1 Hanover square so we can taste the wedding food again lol. Not to mention, amazing cake that was not too sweet but was a perfect dessert. Not only was Kevin accommodating to our needs financially and logistically but also made sure that we were genuinely welcomed to have the wedding at 1 Hanover square. If you plan to hire someone on your wedding day, please don’t waste your time, just trust Kevin and Nikki for the top quality. Our bridal party still praise about how put together the wedding was and we know for the fact that it would not have been possible without Kevin’s Team. The top of the cake was ready for us to take home, which we truly appreciated as well. As the bride and groom on the wedding day, you can easily miss out on the bigger things such as enjoying you and your husbands day with the guests and family as the day gets crammed and hectic.1 Hanover square will ease off any miscellaneous burdens off of your shoulders. Lot of the things were already done even before anyone of the bridal party had to remind the team. We are grateful to have met such a wonderful team for our magical day. Truly wishing the best endeavors for many greater things to come for 1 Hanover square.

We simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Kevin, Nikki, and the team at India House/1 Hanover Square. They made our entire wedding planning process an absolute dream. Their commitment to hospitality is unmatched, especially in New York City. Our guests were completely blown away and are still raving about the attentiveness of the staff and the delicious food. Many said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Plus, the venue itself is absolutely stunning! It is the perfect place for couples looking for something unique with a classic New York feel. Kevin also worked with us to give us what we wanted while helping us stay within our budget, and was very responsive. We truly feel like Kevin, Nikki, and the team became a part of our family throughout the process. We would highly recommend them a thousand times over!

If you are looking for a beautiful New York City venue with excellent food, fabulous people to work with, that is affordable, India House at 1 Hanover Square is it!!!! My husband and I were married here in November 2018, and it was the most amazing day. The day flowed effortlessly and was the perfect balance of romantic with a great party atmosphere. We had our ceremony on the first floor, cocktail hour on the second and dinner and dancing on the third floor in the ballroom. The venue itself is unique with the old New York City charm we were looking for. Since we had our wedding there in November, it was cold enough out that we could have the two wood burning fireplaces on. Especially for the ceremony, this really added to the romantic charm of the venue. To this day, our friends and family cannot stop raving about how beautiful the place was, how much fun they had, how wonderful and friendly the staff were and how amazing the food was. Credit for this is mostly due to the fantastic staff from Masterpiece Caterers - especially Kevin Mattner. Kevin really went above and beyond for us, both listening to our wants and making expert suggestions. He was able to bring all of the conversations and planning together to make for an incredible and memorable day – exceeding our expectations! His attention to detail is exceptional - I cannot say enough about how fantastic he was to work with! Nikki was also excellent to work with. As our day of coordinator, she guided us every step of the way. Hearing from friends’ past experiences with their wedding venues, we knew we needed to work with a team we trusted in order to have a seamless planning experience and the stress-free wedding day we wanted. Kevin, Nikki and the rest of the staff made it that and so much more. They really show they honestly care about the couples they work with. I would recommend this venue, or working with Masterpiece Caterers in any regard, to anyone. The venue and Masterpiece Caterers are truly both a New York City gem!

The entire experience at India House at One Hanover Square was everything we could have wished for! We knew we wanted an elegant yet warm, intimate setting in Manhattan for our tiny wedding of 25 guests. We were drawn to the architecture and décor of India House, which evoked Old World elegance. After we looked through the photos and read the reviews, we were convinced this would be a wonderful match for us! Kevin Mattner was immediately responsive and gracious. From the beginning, throughout an incredibly smooth process, he and his team treated us like high-priority clients, even with our small numbers. We ultimately opted for the beautiful Hanover Room – with its red walls and gorgeous chandeliers – for both the ceremony and reception. Kevin drew up two distinct diagrams for our ceremony and dinner seating options. We chose the long dining table so we could all sit together for the intimate, elegant feel we had envisioned. (It also made for dramatic photos!) In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Kevin and his team guided us each step of the way – from menu to sound system. The day of our wedding couldn’t have gone better from start to finish. The team handled everything – from bridal room set up to arranging the ceremony and dining area décor and then packing everything up for us. Before the ceremony, Kevin even stopped by the bridal room with a cellphone video to make sure I was happy with how the décor turned out! It was all perfect! (Also, special thanks to Nikki and Veronica and the rest of the team for taking care of all the details and also checking in to make sure I had everything I needed.) I also appreciated the lovely tea sandwiches and beverages available in the bridal room, since I had not had a chance to eat that day with hair and makeup prep! Our friends and family are still talking about the “magical evening,” with the gorgeous venue and delicious food receiving glowing compliments! On a final note, it must be said that of all the places we considered, India House/One Hanover Square was by far the best value for the quality and service we received. We were able to have the wedding of our dreams within our modest budget. We couldn’t be happier!

1 Hanover Square and Masterpiece Caterers were wonderful to work with. My wife had reached out to 1 Hanover while we were looking for our wedding reception venue. Initially, the cost was outside of our budget, but Kevin was great and helped work with our budget, which allowed us to choose One Hanover. From our first walk through we knew this was the venue we wanted to use and Kevin and his team helped make the vision come to fruition. The entire staff, including upper management and ownership, was great to work with and constantly assured us that everything would work out as we wanted. Everyone was extremely accommodating during the entire process. We had some concerns that a few family members would not be thrilled because the space is not the traditional catering hall layout and some older family members had a tough time imagining the space when we described it. However, Kevin assured us they would come around after they saw the venue for themselves, and they did. We had a larger wedding (250 guests) and we were able to utilize all 3 floors of the venue. Cocktail hour was on the first floor, with a seated dinner on the second floor, followed by dancing on the third floor. All of our guests had an amazing time and we received so many compliments on our wedding. All of the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Our guests keep talking about the chicken and waffles! Kevin, Gieto, Nikki, and the entire Masterpiece staff really took care of us and we appreciate all the effort they put in to make our wedding a memorable one. I would highly recommend 1 Hanover and their other spaces for all your event needs!

My wife and I got married here this April and we could not recommend it higher! We had so many compliments on how beautiful this venue is. India House has three main floors to host the event, with each serving a purpose. We loved that we were able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing all within the same venue (and in downtown NYC no less!). We worked with Kevin at the venue and he couldn't have been easier to work with. He was extremely flexible in allowing us to arrange the wedding we wanted to have and was always fast to respond to any of our questions. Working with Nikki and Marcella at the venue was also a pleasure and they were consistently checking on our wedding day to make sure everything was going as we hoped. Another amazing thing about this venue: the food! I'm not kidding when I say we had DOZENS of couples come up to us after the wedding mentioning how they've never been fed so well at a wedding in their life! They also arranged for us to have an ice cream bar which was a huge hit. The venue itself is also beautiful (it's an old trade house that functions as a club for bankers during the week) and you really do feel like you're stepping back in time when inside. We were so happy we chose 1 Hanover Square as our venue and you are making a fantastic choice if you decide like us!

We had my daughter's Bat Mitzvah ceremony and reception in this beautiful venue. Everyone said our affair was like a wedding. Everything was perfect, and Sonia Z. was the best coordinator/manager. The facilities are lovely as we were going for an old NY vibe. The food was delicious, and all the kids LOVED the donut wall. Hoping my son will want his Bar Mitzvah at 1 Hanover Square (India House) as well!

I am so glad I chose 1 Hanover Square for my wedding! My wedding was everything I dreamed of and much more. As a bride, this was one of the most special days of my life and Nikki was there for me every step of the way, catering to my every need. She helped calm my nerves and allow me to just enjoy the moment. She made sure my bridal party was ready and had everything they needed as well. My husband and I truly had the best day of our lives. The food was amazing and the customer service from the staff was excellent. People still talk about our wedding and how perfect it was. I cannot thank this team and Nikki enough.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Masterpiece Caterers at 1 Hanover Square ( India House). From the moment I found them all of my concerns and worries were instantly put to rest. Nikki Rizzo was my point of contact and to 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!!!

From the moment we walked into the India House, we knew it was the perfect place to share our love for one another with our friends & family. In a city so expansive and concentrated as NYC, Kevin Mattner and his team produced an intimate evening 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.

Enough cannot be said about what a wonderful wedding Stef and Ernest had at the India House this past weekend (February 16). The India House looked beautiful, the food scrumptious, the staff polite and professional and attention to details impeccable. 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

We cannot say enough about the expert team at India House. We had a magical wedding on 1/12/19 and Kevin and Nikki were our support system from the start. Never in my career (of PR and event planning) have I experienced such service. From the 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!

Highly recommend! Both Kevin and Nikki did a fantastic job and helped make it a perfect wedding and evening. The entire event felt totally seamless, the space was stunning, and everyone (including us) raved about the food. Not to mention perfect 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.

One Word: Kevin. He was specTACULAR at his services to us, to our guests, and as representing the India House. He truly knows how to put you at ease and is very thorough in explaining everything from prices to amenities. We felt right at home. And our guests did as well. Cannot recommend the India House enough!

We had our wedding at the India House on 08/12/2018. From the day we started our conversation with the masterpiece caterers we knew we were in good hands. Kevin, Nikki and the whole team at Masterpiece caterers are amazing. They made sure the day 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

I hosted my wedding at India House in Oct. 2018 and can honestly say that I wouldn't have changed a thing if I needed to do it all over again. The venue is classic. A historical building tucked away in lower Manhattan. There was no shortage of 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!

THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN LOWER MANHATTAN!!!!!!!! Searching for a quality yet affordable wedding venue in NYC is next to impossible. We went to several venues within our price range that were profiled to be elegant and tasteful yet turned out to 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.

We can't say enough great things about Kevin and his team at 1 Hanover Square. From the beginning of the process to planning the big day to day of, Kevin was there and made everything seamless! He was especially accommodating about making the entire 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!

We were blown away with the level of care Kevin and his team showed throughout the entire process. Our every need was met and our expectations were surpassed. The venue is absolutely beautiful [elegant & intimate...timeless really]. The food is 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!

We had our wedding at the India House in April 2018 and it was absolutely wonderful. The building itself is beautiful and a perfect setting for a New York wedding. Kevin was super easy to work with, extremely responsive and did a great job coordinating 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!

My husband Grayson and I got married here in September 2017. Kevin was our main POC from the venue. He helped build out an amazing weekend for us and our family. Friday was a welcome dinner at India House. We did welcome cocktails in the downstairs 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.

My husband and I got married at India House, May 2018. We worked with Kevin Mattner through the whole planning process. He is the best! He and his staff are organized and professional. We received a bunch of compliments from our guests on the 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!

1 Hanover is amazing, Kevin is the best. I really wanted a non traditional Chinese wedding but had to add some traditions to the schedule due to family. Even up until the week of the wedding, I wasnt sure we would be able to pull it all off. Kevin 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!!!

hi

I cannot say enough glowing things about Kevin Mattner and his team at India House. They go out of their way to be friendly and accommodating, and are all extremely professional. My husband and I are still in total awe over how absolutely perfect 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!

We had a wonderful wedding at India House (or so I was told, since it went by so fast) thanks to Kevin and his team. I loved the historical house and how well everything was maintained. All the food was fantastic and there were so many rooms 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.

Kevin Mattner gave us the wedding of our dreams at Morningside Castle! 2 months later, my husband and I are still reeling about the day from start to finish. Kevin went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, listened to our desires, and executed the day exceeding our expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to work with Kevin again as he's truly a delight!

We were married on Sept. 9 2017. It was a magical experience. Kevin Mattner and the entire staff did an outstanding job. Each room at 1 Hanover Square is unique, and varies in how many people can be accommodated. Masterpiece caterers offered 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.

What a wonderful venue. Anyone can provide good food. What makes 1 Hanover Square / Masterpiece Caterers so wonderful is the overall package. For a traditional wedding, no venue can duplicate the history, the fireplaces, the antique fixtures 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.

This review is a admittedly overdue, but my husband and I of nearly a year have had plenty of time to reflect on our first year of marriage and the incredible party and celebration with which we kicked it off! We chose India House while looking 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!

Good

We worked with Kevin at Masterpiece Caterers for our wedding at the India House/1 Hanover Sq, and he is amazing. He is communicative & prompt, and tries to be as accommodating as possible. Trust him & the rest of the staff at Masterpiece Caterers 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.

Wedding of Dorothy and James at The India House, October 21, 2017 Thanks to Kevin Mattner, who managed everything, and his excellent staff, Dorothy and James had the wedding of their dreams! As parents of the bride we couldn't be happier! The 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!

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! You cannot go wrong. I couldn't have dreamt a better wedding. The service, food, decor, ambiance, and the attention you get from India House (1 Hanover Sq) is unparalleled. My friends and family were blown away. Everyone 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.

Best!

"It's like being inside a champagne flute!" That is a quote from one of our guests at our wedding a year ago. Our memories of that day are still as clear as they could be. Kevin Mattner was our contact and he guided us through the entire process, 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!

We planned our wedding in about 2 months and we were so fortunate that the India House was available on a Saturday night in July. We had about 120 people and started the night with a glass of champagne at the entrance in the blue room and we moved 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!!

My husband wanted to get married at the IH from the very beginning we spoke about marriage. He had been at the iconic Blue Bar and he fell in love with the venue. Given our small guest count I believe we made the best choice! We had our intimate 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

Not sure if words could describe how happy we were with India House as our wedding venue. It's stunning on it's own and with the food and service and overall attention to detail it really made our wedding so special. Adam & Kevin put with our million 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!!

Where do I even begin- Masterpiece caterers was an absolutely dream to work with! Drana and Adam will fabulous and the venue is so beautiful. The food was simply outstanding and everyone is still raving several weeks after. I highly recommend India House! LOVE!

My wife and I were married on August 26th at India House in New York, NY, and the event was hosted and choreographed by Masterpiece Caterers. India House exuded quality, excellence, and class. The décor was a fantastic blend of nautical memorabilia 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.

My husband and I got married at India House in January 2017 and would wholeheartedly recommend the experience to anyone looking for a quintessentially New York wedding. I think the venue is a particularly good choice for fall, winter and early 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!
