The Box House Hotel

riting a 2 page essay on every thing they did right (it was everything) I will just tell you - that from the day we walked in, to the moment we walked out of there after our wedding was over they had EVERYTHING handled. The event execution, the food, the bar, the hotel, the staff.... EVERYTHING was perfect. The food was the best food we have ever had a wedding. The whole team ended up feeling more like family at the end of it all. We cannot stress enough how wonderful it was to get married there. We could not have been happier with how our day went and the process leading up to it. We did not have a wedding planner and so their responsiveness, attention to detail, and expertise made the whole experience wonderful. Thank you to everyone who made the whole experience a dream.

city views on the rooftop, everything is amazing. Our ceremony took place during sunset and the retractable roof was closed to provide shade, during the reception the roof retracted leaving our guests stunned. The feeling of celebrating at the Box House was unmatched. Joe, Xavier, Krista and the rest of staff are kind, attentive, and helpful. They assisted us with planning everything down to the minute, and day of they were there to guide us through. You can tell that they truly love (and are good at!) what they do. Chef Brian is exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious. We got so many rave reviews from our guests! We loved the food so much we immediately made a reservation for their restaurant Madre (located in the sister hotel Franklin Guest House) to celebrate our one month anniversary! Just like our wedding day they took care of us and treated us like we were family. Additionally, the bartenders at the wedding were great! They were super friendly and personable, it made a huge impression on our guests (as a number of them mentioned this to us after the wedding). You can't go wrong with The Box House Hotel! The beauty of the space along with the grace and professionalism of the staff makes this place so special. Highly recommend!

th a beautiful bar, multiple restrooms, wood floors and the retractible roof is just the cherry on top. Service was impeccable. Food selection had some amazing options (branzino, potato gratin and churros were crowd favorites!) and was way better than any other wedding food we (or any of out guests!) have had before. Everything was perfect and seamless - our guests are still raving about it! Truly an amazing experience, we are so glad we found this jewel. Planning with Xavier and Krista was super easy - they are on top of their game! The bridal suite is breathtaking. Couldn't recommend the Box House Hotel enough. Perfect venue for a NYC wedding.

e of practically everything. The ambiance, the food, the sound, the views... it was just such a magical night. Every one of our guests were raving about the experience, saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The food was INCREDIBLE. I have so many dietary restrictions, and they made me a special plate, even with my own passed appetizers. The venue provides a beautiful tasting too, where you can sample your menu and wines. The space itself, was just GORGEOUS. We were worried it would be too hot, but the air conditioning worked great and they even opened the roof during the reception so we could dance under the moon. The space comes with lots of plants already, so we didn't even need too much extra greenery for decorations. It was just such an unbelievable night with truly incredible service. The kindness, attention to detail, and professionalism at the Box House made this experience one we will never forget. Truly remarkable.

ful it was to have our wedding there. The view of Manhattan, the feel of the space, the retractable roof, the stunning bar, all of it was the ideal location for our wedding. We lucked out with the weather and were able to keep the roof open for much of the night, but once it cooled down a bit the roof was quickly and easily closed. We also loved our stay here during the weekend. We stayed in the Penthouse suite and it was perfect for getting ready with bridesmaids, and for hanging out with the wedding party before the ceremony. We had a large bridal party, on top of parents, flower girls and ring bearers, and there was plenty of space for everyone to have a toast before the party started. Finally, I wanted to say that Jean, who works with group bookings for the Box House, was so wonderful. He was responsive, friendly, and always helpful. A big thank you to Jean! Overall we were thrilled with our wedding, and couldn't be happier!

the food is. They were not being nice. The wine was also excellent, and if it's something you care about (I did) use the incredible sommelier to help you make your decision.

l I had to do is show up and the rest was history. Thank you for making my day so special!

als, to deliveries, to planning out minute-by-minute the entire party. All of my friends and family could not have had a better time and would not let me forget how AWESOME The Box House Hotel is!

m Greenpoint, it such a treat I feel lucky we had the chance to see it a few times. Joe was great, we had a couple of hiccups early on due to some staff turnover, but Joe took the reigns and made our night so memorable. I have to say I was so surprised how phenomenal the food was, more than one guest came up to me and commented on it. Our servers and the staff, in general, were exceptional, and there wasn't a moment I didn't feel taken care of. We were tougher probably than most as we're both project managers, but when it came down to it all the important stuff was in place and it was the time of my life. There was a freak snowstorm the night before, and you would never guess it, the space was immaculate by the time we were doing family photos. The bar is also available for a post-wedding nightcap and Dave the tend was the man, he put up with us for far longer than we contracted for. With HQ2 moving in, who knows what will happen tot he neighborhood, but for your special day between now and when that happens, really consider Box House, it made the Cut's top list of wedding venues with a view and for a reason, you won't stop staring.

e at The Box House Hotel. The compliments from our guests were endless - from the food, to the view, the dance space, the ease of accommodations, and more. Simply put, it's a special place. It's not a standard wedding function hall, with countless weddings taking place. When you have a wedding at the Box House, the place is yours. It is you and your guests on that rooftop. Your closest friends and family experience the incredible views. And when it's over, the hotel practically feels like your own. It just has that vibe. That's what made everything special...it just felt like a fully catered (literally and figuratively) experience for you and your guests. Highlights: - Retractable roof allows for peace of mind and a great change of pace. Our evening started out cool, but then we opened the roof up as it started to heat up thanks to the dancing - The food was delicious. We got rave reviews. - The bartenders were so attentive...our guests certainly felt it - PLENTY of space. We had 125 guests and were able to comfortably accommodate everyone - Sound system and lighting was perfect Minor note If you have any decorations that are intended for the wood panels, please be advised that nails weren't allowed and we didn't have luck with 3M tape. For future couples, would definitely be advised to think through other options in case you are looking to hang decorations. Overall, the process itself was very smooth. Joe worked with us, helping tailor the night to our needs very seamlessly. We highly recommend The Box House Hotel. Thank you, Joe and staff. It was incredible. - Chris and Teeny

us the rooftop without an appointment. We were immediately impressed by how cool and stylish the hotel lobby was. As soon as we saw the rooftop, it blew the other event spaces we had seen earlier out of the park. From the moment we began the planning process, Joe was there for us every step of the way, answering all our questions, providing us different options, and working with us to plan our dream event. The night of the engagement was absolutely fabulous. Joe, Steven (events manager), and the party staff put everything together perfectly and my mind was at such ease I didn't even feel the need to check in. Even with all the rain outside, the views of the city skyline remained a vibrant backdrop to our party. All our guests were instantly awed by the beautiful setup with ample dancing space and room to roam. Since my fiance and I are big time foodies, the food was an especially important part of our event - and I can honestly say that we and all our guests were amazed by how incredibly delicious the food was. Even the pickiest of our guests were shocked by how good EVERYTHING tasted. During these types of events, it is so difficult for couples to taste the food at their own party, but Joe personally brought over food, drink, and utensils to both my fiance and I so we wouldn't miss out while we were constantly greeting guests and posing for pictures. It was the type of night no one wanted to end. Days later, I'm still getting messages from family and friends about how much fun they had and how beautiful everything was. We are so thankful to Joe and his team at the Box House Hotel for making our experience and our event truly memorable and fabulous.

CEREMONY. The hotel showed so little concern/sense of urgency about the situation that our photographer had to be the one to free us from the elevator!! This review is long but juicy! To clarify: Our wedding took place on the hotel's rooftop, but we actually booked through Glasserie, which was absolutely wonderful and we cannot recommend them enough. Side note: we're pretty sure some of the pics above are actually of Glasserie events that the hotel had nothing to do with! Room Block was a disaster - our guests found better rates online than the ones the hotel gave us and the hotel kept telling our guests the block was full before anyone had booked. Hotel stay stay was nightmare-ish: The hotel gave away the room I was promised as a bridal suite to another guest. Then, they lied to me, telling me it wasn't clean yet and made me wait for a while in the lobby with an entire cart of wedding related items in one hand and my dress in the other (I had called ahead to avoid this exact situation). On my wedding day, the hotel was so slow in bringing me a steamer, full length mirror, or even, just a spoon for my coffee (1 full hour for the spoon!) that I got behind on my wedding day schedule and had to send my poor maid of honor on errands all day. About an hour before the ceremony, my maid of honor, mom, aunt and photographer got stuck in the elevator, which started to smell like it was burning. Here's what our guests & vendors told us happened while during/after: 1) our other photographer ran to the front desk for rescue and was met with a total lack of concern/urgency from the staff who told her we should just "push the door" 2) our photographer had to be the one to free us from the elevator!!! 3) it appears there was no maintenance person on site even though, based on our experience (we had to take the service elevator twice during our previous visits), this elevator seems to get stuck with an abnormal frequency. [The hotel now claims that their maintenance person helped our photographer get us out of the elevator, he just wasn't wearing a uniform because "it was his day off". Our photographer, who has no reason to lie, tells us it was another hotel guest]. 4) While this was happening, THE STAIRS DOORS (yes the fire exit) WERE LOCKED and the staff was incapable of finding the right keys. What would have happened had there really been a fire?! 5) The fire department came and placed both elevators out of service just as our guests were arriving. In what can only be described as sheer insanity, the only option the hotel gave us was for our 110 guests (many of whom not able to climb 5 flights of stairs) to take the stairs 6) my husband HAD TO ARGUE with the hotel staff for our guests to be allowed to use the service elevator 7) The hotel refused to help redirect the guests, indicating to my brother, who was trying to do their jobs for them, that "it is Glasserie's job to direct the guests". 8) the hotel didn't even bother checking with me that I was ok after the traumatic elevator incident 9) Despite MANY requests, the hotel locked all stairs doors again. Is it even safe mere hours after a such a major and dangerous elevator outage?!

nues upstate NY and around city for a good 6 months before stumbling upon this beautiful hotel via instagram! Luckily for us, it just happened to be 2 miles away from our apartment - yay! From the moment we met with Joe, who is the coordinator for all events at The Box House, we felt completely at ease and wowed by the incredible views, and everything that is included in the space. We knew within minutes that we had finally found our perfect venue. I could go on and on about how amazing everything turned out. From day 1, to the day of the wedding, Joe was present every step of the way. He was extremely patient, helpful, knowledgable, and helped guide us in all the right directions for best vendors, decor ideas, and coordinating the day of to make sure everything was on schedule. Joe and the team are really passionate about what they do, and it's a breath of fresh air when you're trying to plan the most important day of your life. We really appreciated the time, and effort their team spent on making our day so special. Joe even let us come back a few weeks after the wedding to take more bridal pictures on the rooftop - popped the champagne for us and everything! :) The best! The hotel itself is really impressive, with a restaurant, gym/steam room, beautiful loft rooms, suites, and complimentary hotel transportation to local restaurants and parks - it was easy for our guests to feel at home. We decided to use their in-house catering (best decision ever!) which includes an extensive menu for food/drink options. In addition, all tables, linens, glass and flatware were included. We HIGHLY suggest booking their in-house chef and Bar. Our guests are still talking about how good the food and drinks were. Highlights from the night was the beautiful table setting for our family style dinner, and the raw bar for our cocktail hour from the local Greenpoint Fish and Lobster- all coordinated and presented by Box House Events! The day was everything we wanted and more. Best venue in NYC, hands down! We are so glad to have found The Box House! The memories of that day and the 6 months leading up to the big day are forever going to be the best days in our lives. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind NYC experience, choose The Box House. Thank you again Joe and team! :)

ooftop we didn't look back and it was the best wedding planning decision I made. Everything about this place is perfect and EXACTLY what we envisioned. I couldn't recommend it more! TLDR: -The Box house is the best wedding venue find in NYC, maybe in the world. -Their events manager, Joe, is the best events manager in NYC, maybe in the world: he will be your wedding MVP- trust me. -If you want the most beautiful, stress free wedding in NYC, maybe in the world, get married at The Box House Hotel rooftop. CONCERNING THE SPACE: -The event space has the most breathtaking surround view of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. -We REALLLY wanted a rooftop wedding- but we were getting married at the beginning of April and worried about weather... BUT GUESS WHAT? The Box House rooftop can be left completely open on a beautiful day or closed in with stunning glass panels and a retractable roof at a moments notice. Weather be damned- we were going to have the perfect wedding at this space. -The decor is just to die for. Every piece of wood that has been laid or fixture that has been built is impeccably considered. There is a marble bar situated on one end of the room that is worthy of being a sculpture in a museum. It's the kind of space that is so beautiful that you could leave it as is, with no further decor, and still have a beautiful event -Throughout the room they have available rolling room dividers that are super helpful for customizing the space to your exact event needs and easily change things around throughout the evening - Everything is picture perfect! The thought that has gone into the space combined with the backdrop of the city is just magic CONCERNING JOE (and the staff): -Pardon me for a moment while I gush but Joe and his team were my wedding White Knights and I don't think I could have ACTUALLY pulled off my wedding without him. - I've heard that most venues are primarily just an empty space and you're on your own for everything else. That was NOT the case at the Box House, and let me just tell you that I don't know what I would have done without them. -Joe was so communicative from day one and always went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. Even though I was an unorganized mess, he was so patient and would ask all the right questions to keep me on track. -Any time I needed to, he would walk me through the space- even if it was just because my mom was in town and she wanted to take a look! - I can't even express how much Joe and his team went above and beyond during the actual event. The Hotel provided tables, chairs, linens, decor lighting, cozy accents, and about a hundred other little things that meant the world to me that I didn't have to think about. -Everyone was so kind to our guests. Friends and family rave to me even still about the professionalism and generosity that the Hotel Staff displayed. -After the wedding and honeymoon Joe reached out to us just to check in. He sincerely cares about every couple that gets married the the Box House and it makes all the difference This review is long overdue, but partly because it was hard to find the words to express how much I would recommend The Box House Hotel to anyone getting married. Happy planning! <3

ue. We got married a few weeks ago at The Box House Hotel and my friends and family have not stopped talking about how it was hands-down the best wedding they've been to! Joe really took care of our entire family, brought us drinks and food when we were starving and mingling with family, and made sure we had incredible rooms for our family. He is truly a gentlemen and every single member of his staff and The Box Hotel's staff was professional, friendly, receptive, and welcoming. When I first started looking for venues, I found a ton of raw spaces and I actually entertained the idea of throwing a wedding myself. Then I toured with Joe and learned about ALL of the amenities that Box House provides. They shoulder sooo much of the burden of planning a wedding, I honestly could not imagine doing it ourselves. Joe and his staff worked with us to plan tastings, book vendors, he created custom layouts for us, among many other things. On the day of I was super nervous, but as soon as I walked in for the first time and saw the space and its beauty all dressed up with the retractable roof open during the First Look, I knew I was in good hands. A note on the food: it was impeccable. I met their Chef during the tasting Joe organized with us, and he was kind, walked us through the entire menu, and explained some great options from the impressive menu that work very well together. We took his and Joe's advice and everyone at the wedding was in shock at how good everything was. We had all of our food served family style and there was more than enough food for everyone on the table. Huge platters of filet mignon and hand-dived scallops, coming fresh out of the kitchen made everyone light up. All in all, this was way more than I could ever ask for. The team at The Box House Hotel are wonderful people to work with. The food was incredible. The venue with the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and the water views directly in sight made for some stellar pictures and memories to last a life time. Thank you so much for throwing my husband and I the wedding of our dreams!

scussing spacial layouts, menu selections, decor, timelines and everything we needed. Honestly all we did was send out our invitations and book a band and a florist, outside of that Joe and his team took care of the rest. The space was set up beautifully the day of our party, we had a massive raw bar set up, the servers were incredibly professional and knowledgable, and the food was delectable. Really incredible space, no reason to ever look elsewhere if you're thinking about throwing an event.

team at The Box House went above and beyond for us. Weeks before the event Joe and Mary met with me multiple times to discuss floor plans, layouts, timelines, menu selections, payment schedules, lighting and audio packages, the list goes on. The service during the event was spectacular, everyone was sharply dressed and incredibly professional. The food was absolutely incredible, in particular the Wild King Salmon which pretty much melted in your mouth. Everyone who attended had nothing but great things to say about the space and the event that was thrown by The Box House. 10/10 highly recommend!
