There are not enough words in the English language to describe how special the Pier Sixty Collection – particularly The Lighthouse at Pier 61 – was for our wedding. We could not re...commend it any higher!
From the moment we stepped foot in the location to view it, we knew it was the perfect place to get married and it lived up to (and exceeded) the reputation and expectation. The staff was extremely helpful with everything from getting the contract signed, answering questions and providing guidance. As you can imagine, there are a million questions, and the team was super responsive and experienced.
We really enjoyed that the venue had a dedicated list of experienced vendors. We chose all our vendors off the list, and it made the wedding planning process so much more straight forward. They were all experienced and intimate with the location, thus streamlining all conversations.
The tasting programing was truly a special night – they made it feel like a mini wedding. One of the best parts of the Pier Sixty Collection is the food and drink options. We were simply floored with the quality of the food and drinks. It is difficult to cook in large volumes, but the food tasted as if you were at a Michelin starred restaurant. A big hit with our guests.
The space itself is awe inspiring over the Hudson River. It is large, open and makes you feel welcomed. We got married at night under the city lights and it was spectacular. We did both the ceremony and reception at The Lighthouse and it was a perfect view.
We could not be more grateful to our venue planner, Katie Sparks. She started working with us two months prior to the wedding day. She was on top of everything from planning, to questions, to ensuring that the day went off without a hitch. Our sales rep, Chynna Hill, also stayed involved throughout the process and through the wedding. On the day of, we also were provided with a bridal attendant who was fantastic. The amount of event staff that puts together your event is amazing – it keeps the party moving and fun. The team is very special.
In summary, our experience was world-class from start to finish. Everything went so smoothly! It was a magical night.
If you have the opportunity to get married or have an event at The Lighthouse – please do it!
