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 recommend 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!

I had two great experiences with The Pier Sixty Collection. Both my wedding at Current and my work’s holiday party at Pier Sixty. The events were both unforgettable, and the staff was truly outstanding. I had the pleasure of working with Marlon, who was our wedding coordinator and worked our holiday party and I can’t speak highly enough of him. He goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Marlon does an incredible job of making sure guests are happy and the event flows seamlessly—he’s truly one of the best.
Secondarily, the food is amazing. Friends and family still talk about the food that was served at our wedding months later! All in all, this is an amazing collection of venues with great staff and I hope to happily attend/host many more events here.

We have nothing but glowing reviews for the entire team at Pier Sixty. From the initial steps with Gregg (and then Sam), to the final weeks of planning with Katie, we felt so comfortable and as stress free as possible. We looked at plenty of venues both in and around the tristate area, but it was a no-brainer where we should celebrate our marriage once we saw what the Current had to offer. The guests have been raving about the service, particularly the food, being amazing. Our bartenders were fabulous, and there were never any lines at the bars. The professionalism is unmatched. The entire team kept us on schedule and handled any issues (of which to my knowledge there were zero). They really prioritized myself and my now husband as being the guests of honor, and we never had to lift a finger or worry. Seriously - stop your search, and come here!

We could not recommend The Pier Sixty Collection highly enough! We got married in February at Current and their unparalleled attention to detail, flawless execution, and unwavering commitment to excellence has left us with memories we will value forever.
Tanya, Greg, and the team displayed a level of expertise and professionalism that put us at ease immediately. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of the day was perfect, and their calm and reassuring demeanor made even the most stressful moments feel manageable.
As for Current, the beauty of the venue speaks for itself. The staff went above and beyond to create an amazing atmosphere for our guests- with everything taken care of so all people had to do was enjoy. Our guests raved about the quality and quantity of food and how no glass was ever left empty!
If we could do it all again we would not change a thing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding an experience we will treasure forever!

We had our March 25, 2023 wedding at The Lighthouse and WOW. Just WOW.
As a couple who works in events and hospitality, working with Gregg, Brian, and the team at the Lighthouse was an absolute dream. The booking and contracting process was easy, and they were able to accommodate our unique wants and requests without batting an eye.
Besides the food and drinks being top-notch, we and our families really felt taken care of the entire night. Sharon, the Bridal attendant appeared before I could even ask for help - she was always there with water, a snack, and could anticipate my needs better than I could. Brian runs an incredibly tight ship, and he and his staff were beyond anything we expected. Our guests raved about how positively overstaffed the venue was and that they could truly want for nothing.
We felt that we could really be guests at our wedding, rather than hosting. We only wish and hope that we are able to go to another event at the Lighthouse, as it was truly one of the best venues I've ever been to in the city.

The whole team at Pier Sixty was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We originally had a March 2020 date and had to postpone. Each time we were asked by friends and family about whether it was a hassle to postpone our wedding, we shared how easy the team at Pier Sixty made it and we cannot recommend them enough. We worked with Gregg since January 2019 and he is so helpful and even offered to help us with vendors when we were working through postponement logistics.
Our wedding was at The Lighthouse and was beautiful. We loved it before the renovations and loved it even more after. We truly felt like guests at our own wedding due to our event manager Brian. He was so organized and thoughtful and took everything off our plate. We needed to bring in an outside caterer due to kosher restrictions and it could not have been easier. Brian connected with all our vendors, including the caterer, and we did not have to think about a thing. The bridal suite was the perfect place to get ready and everyone appreciated the comfy couches and beverages. Sharon, the bridal attendant, was a HUGE help the entire day and I was so thankful to have her there. All of our guests raved about the service and could not get over the entire venue, especially how the skyline lit up once it got dark out. We 100% trusted the team and they were exactly the people we wanted behind our day.

The Lighthouse was the only venue we toured when we got engaged and we picked our wedding date soon after. From day one every single thing was top tier. From our sales rep to our wedding coordinator, everything was extremely seamless. Truly the best team to work with! Our friends & family raved about the venue, the food, the drinks etc. The day was beyond perfect and we can not thank the entire team there enough.

Long and short: absolutely not an option for LGBTQ+ people or those who care about them.
We were scheduled to have our wedding here in October. Then they hosted a keynote speech by Ron DeSantis, the anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ+ governor of Florida...in Chelsea...during Pride Month...on the 6th anniversary of the Pulse massacre in DeSantis's home state.
We said "absolutely not" and asked for our money back so we could celebrate our love at a venue that actually cares about people like us. They said no, because them hosting DeSantis was like a bakery being forced to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. They actually tried to tell us this multiple times!
This is not the way. Not in New York City, not at this moment in history. Just no. Please, if you care about LGBTQ+ people, have your wedding anywhere but here. Thankfully, it's Manhattan, and there are plenty of inclusive, friendly places that don't sponsor hate where you can get married.

Every step of the way the staff at Pier Sixty was incredibly helpful, organized, and just all around amazing. We started working with Samantha, and later, she put us in great hands with Lindsay. Lindsay was so helpful with finalizing details and answering all my questions before we met our day of coordinator, Marlon. Marlon was fabulous. In the months leading up he would check in to see how my (now) husband and I were doing, tie up any loose ends, and make sure we were ready for our big day. The day of, NOTHING WENT WRONG, and I attribute that to Marlon and his team that worked our wedding .
The staff was extremely attentive to every detail, there were many staff members offering food and drink during our cocktail hour, there was plenty of seating throughout our event. As the bride and groom we had staff members asking us if there was anything we needed and what they could do to make the day even better.
All of our guest have nothing but wonderful things to say about our day. From how beautiful the venue was, to how friendly the staff was, to the food being some of the best they have ever had (in general- not just for a wedding). From the moment they walked in guests were greeted with drinks, to the moment they they left, guest were given a parting treat.
We completely lucked out with a beautiful clear day; the water was glistening throughout our ceremony, the sun was setting over the beautiful views of the Hudson, World Trade Center and Statue of Liberty, we danced the night away by candle light which was set up by the staff all around the venue.
If you want your special day to be absolutely perfect, you MUST book Pier Sixty.

The Pier Sixty team was our favorite vendor to work with. We knew The Lighthouse was our wedding venue as soon as we walked into the room on our tour with Samantha back in 2019!
After years later, several postponements, we finally had our day and it was beyond our wildest dreams.
Our guests cannot stop raving about the food and service. Special shout out to Marlon who made sure we were taken care of the entire time!! The event coordination was spectacular. We got to relax and be a guest at our own wedding.
We got so lucky with the weather during our wedding in March and Marlon opened up the garage doors so everyone could enjoy the amazing weather.
We couldn’t ask for a better experience! Several of our guests said this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to which is the ultimate gift.

We got married on October 30th at Current and could not have been more thrilled with this venue! Gregg and Marlon worked with us to create the most seamless wedding-planning experience and event weekend - the teams here have the ability to both instill confidence that they can do this in their sleep while still making our wedding feel personalized and about us, not just something they've done a thousand times before. Our guests raved about the room, the food, and the service and we couldn't agree more. When pictures ran long, Marlon snuck me in via the kitchen so the guests wouldn't see my dress ahead of time :) Specific tip: definitely get the intermezzo, they are such a unique and impressive addition to the dance floor. Thanks to the whole team at Current / Chelsea Piers!!

We had our June 2019 wedding at the Lighthouse and it could not have been a more beautiful day! The staff was helpful from beginning to end and all of our guests raved about the incredible food and amazing service! More than one person said that their glass was never empty and they couldn’t believe how nice and helpful the servers were. Every single thing that we ate that day was delicious, flavorful, and presented beautifully. The views were incredible and the event space was perfect. We are beyond happy with our wedding day at the Lighthouse and highly recommend the venue!

We were so fortunate to have had our daughter‘s wedding at Pier 60 Saturday night, and could not have been any happier. Samantha, our Salesmanager was so sweet and lovely, so knowledgeable, and so professional. She made the booking process easy and reassuring that this was the right place for us to have our daughter‘s wedding. We just loved working with her. I was confident that I was in the best hands from the moment we walked into the space.
Thank God for Maddie. We could not have been paired with a more excellent event manager. She was so warm and welcoming. She was strong, yet soft and calming… So perfect for our family chaos the day of. Maddie is incredibly organized and so in control from the moment she greeted us at the front door. She has the respect and total command of all of her coworkers and the vendors just love working with her knowing her events run flawlessly. She is just the ultimate party coordinator and we were so lucky she was on our team. The wait staff could not have been more accommodating or more professional. I always knew that once I booked an Abigail kirsch party that the food was never going to be an issue but what I did not know was that the compliments coming from my guests were going to be that of the finest five-star restaurant. No one ever talks about the food at a wedding the way my guests talked about it at mine. They raved about the presentation and said that the Halibut was the best Halibut they ever tasted anywhere .
I couldn’t have been more thrilled that we chose Pier 60 (btw for the second time ). It was the most breathtaking evening, with the most spectacular view, making it the most magnificent wedding ever… A night we will always remember for the rest of our lives thanks to all of you at Abigail Kirsch and Pier Sixty.

My husband and I got married yesterday at The Lighthouse and there are no words to describe how amazing our big day was. Samantha and Lauren were so wonderful from when we first toured the Lighthouse to the actual day. They made our day absolutely flawless. We were always told that the groom and bride never really gets the chance to eat but we definitely did! They made sure to take care of us from beginning to end. The guests were raving about the food. They loved everything! We loved everything! It was literally the perfect wedding and the perfect night!

This venue is absolutely fantastic! I could not recommend it enough. Our wedding was this past weekend (May 18, 2019); everything ran smoothly and was perfect. The weather was beautiful, which only enhanced the already stunning venue. There are not very many venues like this in NYC and it truly is a gem. The food was delicious – our guests keep raving about it. We did go with a few enhancements (intermezzo, pretzel umbrella, snack cart) which I would definitely recommend since they were all a hit however, additional food is not necessary since they do give you plenty. I loved the option to have butlered desserts and so did our guests so everyone could stay out on the dance floor and have different options. The staff was wonderful! Everyone I encountered that night went above and beyond for us and added to the great experience. Our sales associate, Greg, and day-of coordinator, Rich, were magnificent. They both helped us create our perfect wedding celebration and were main drivers in our flawless and successful event. I am beyond happy with the outcome and it is worth every penny.

Where do I even begin? Last night I had my wedding at Current at Chelsea Piers and it was beyond anything I could have dreamed. The staff was absolutely amazing & attentive. We worked with Madeline through the planning process and I could not say enough good things. She was AMAZING. Any concerns I had, she was there..any text or email I sent- I was replied within minutes. Madeline was not only organized and attentive, but she made me feel at ease (before & during the night) We also worked with Samantha who was outstanding. She checked in with me every few months throughout the course of a year and a half just to see how things were going. She went above & beyond. Every wedding guest approached us during the night & said this was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food, the venue, the views, staff..EVERYTHING.. It was perfection & I cannot thank them enough for making the most important day of my life what it was. THANK YOU! - Lauren & Joe

Had my wedding at Current on 11/24/2018 and what a magical night it was. From beginning to end everything was perfect. Had a great coordinator in Tanya. She helped me pick out menu options, coordinated with my vendors, and was simple phenomenal on the night of. Everyone raced about the food and service. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or night. Perfection is the only way to describe my experience.

A year of planning later, and I can honestly say without a doubt, the lighthouse not only lived up to my high expectations, but blew them out of the water. There are no words. We worked with Bob who was responsive, professional, honest and just down right a wonderful person. We had a few specific requests and Bob didn’t even hesitate for a second before making them happen. When we arrived on our wedding day, bob was there with his team to greet us and make sure we had anything and everything we needed. I had a personal assistant to help me throughout the night who was so sweet. My husband just keeps saying he can’t believe the level of service we received and it’s just so nice that everything came together so perfectly. Oh and of course, the venue looked absolutely stunning. Our guests just keep saying how wonderful the food was (the quantity and more importantly the quality) and how wonderful the staff was. All I can say is that truly, everything was perfect!

I echo all of the other 5 star reviews about working with this venue. Bob McSweeney is truly fantastic. Working with him alone should make you want to have your event here. He thought of the details I never would have thought of, made sure everything ran smoothly, answered emails leading up to the event in a matter of minutes, and really just went above and beyond to make sure we were all happy. In addition to having this venue be hassle-free, the food and service the night of our wedding was top notch. We could not have been happier! Highly recommend!

The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers is a picture perfect venue. Their Event Team let by the amazing Bob McSweeney, is a group of kind and extremely talented professionals, who are very easy to work. They answered any questions we had within a few hours, made sure every detail we asked for was set, and helped us create a perfectly seamless wedding that we could have only dreamed of…I will always think of The Lighthouse for any event that we might hold in the future. We couldn’t have loved the venue or food by Abigial Kirsch more!

We had our wedding on June 23, 2018 at The Lighthouse. Bob McSweeney was our Event Manager and Greg Paraventi was our Sales Manager.
The wedding was absolutely perfect - we can't thank Bob and the whole team enough for everything. The food was unbelievable, the night flowed smoothly, and we had so many people come up to tell us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, or to compliment the food/drinks and how seamless the whole night was.
In working with Bob over the last few months, he was always quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating of changes as our guest list was in flux up until 24 hours before the wedding.
We truly can't thank Bob and the entire team at The Lighthouse and Abigail Kirsch for the wedding of our dreams. It was perfect.

Where do I begin?!?! BEST. VENUE. EVER. Had my wedding here 6/16/18.
From our first appointment almost 2 years ago, I KNEW I wanted our wedding to be at the Lighthouse. The venue itself was so gorgeous and perfect for my vision, and the sales manager Greg was SO easy going, not pushy, warm, and extremely knowledgable and approachable. Greg's responsiveness to ALL of my emails over that period of time were friendly, professional, and prompt. Then, we were introduced to me Madeline--- I still have no words. The second we met her we knew we were in amazing hands. From our initial meeting where everything went SO smoothly, her incredibly quick responsiveness time, following up on ALL of my questions and needs, knowledge on every specific detail, and the day of - her calm, cool demeanor while ensuring that everything was going smoothly and efficiently. Evelyn was also unbelievable! (I hadn't even met her yet, and I got back from pictures with a gigantic footprint on my dress, in minutes it was gone- a fantastic first introduction!). I can't speak enough about everything in planning this wedding from start to finish. It was PERFECT in every way. I wish I could do the ENTIRE thing again (and if I did, I wouldn't change a THING!!!!)

Originally - our big day was set to be at Battello, but for unforeseen circumstances, that was not going to happen...
My husband and I were worried we wouldn't find another venue we loved as much until we walked into Pier 61, The Lighthouse. From the moment we stepped foot into The Lighthouse we knew that this was an incredible place and knew that all of this was happening for a reason. We met with Samantha, who was so helpful and truly assuaged all of our anxieties of finding a new venue.
We worked with Paul to plan our big day and he was amazing as well. He was so helpful when picking out our menu and finalizing the little details that we didn't even think about. Both my husband and I were blown away by the food, the program, and just how every little transition was so seamless. We had the time of our lives and did not worry once about what was going to happen next or if something wasn't going to go correctly.
My husband and I are incredibly appreciative of Samantha, Paul, and the whole Lighthouse crew for their attentiveness and care. Even the extra decorations (guestbook, photographs, champagne glasses, etc.) were set up perfectly! All of our guest raved about the evening and said it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to -- we agree! Best decision ever.

Our wedding at The Lighthouse still feels like dream! It was the most amazing experience! We had looked at a few other NYC venues but from the moment we met Greg and saw The Lighthouse, we knew it was the venue for us. Madeline was our wedding coordinator and she was OUTSTANDING. She was so nice, super responsive and it was clear that she really just wanted us to have the best day of our lives! Madeline had so many great suggestions in terms of tables, floor-plan, flow ect and she talked us through picking our entire menu with pictures (which was really difficult because all of the food is creative, beautiful and AMAZING). Madeline also ordered us linen samples to take a look at for our napkins and tablecloths. We dropped a bunch of things off at the venue a few days before our wedding and Madeline did such a beautiful job setting things out just as we had envisioned. Our reception was so seamless and perfect and our guests are still raving about it! The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing and the general flow of the evening was even more amazing than I ever could have imagined. Our bridal attendant was the sweetest and she was such a big help throughout the night. The next day we came back to pick up all of our stuff and Madeline had boxed everything up so neatly for us, we truly appreciated it. The crew at The Lighthouse was already setting up for another wedding on that Sunday and although it broke my heart to see our wedding broken down already, the venue looked all dressed up and ready to go again in a completely different style. It is such a special place! We can't thank Madeline and the team at The Lighthouse enough. We had the best day of our lives!

My now-husband and I got married at Current at Chelsea Piers after falling in love with Abigail Kirsch catering. We had about 185 guests for a ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and dancing. We could not be more thrilled with how our wedding went.
Our event manager, Madeline, was so professional, kind, and responsive. She has incredible attention to detail and worked closely with our wedding planner to make sure the night was absolutely perfect. The two of them seamlessly handled all the moving parts, kept the events on schedule, and took care of any problems before we even knew they were happening. We also had a wonderful bridal attendant, Mina, who made sure we were fed and watered during the very hectic night.
And of course, the Abigail Kirsch catering was excellent. I have an intolerance to gluten, and the staff worked with me to create an entirely gluten-free menu. Our guests absolutely raved about the food, and all said they never would have guessed there was no gluten involved!
All of the staff working the event were absolutely on top of their game, from the bar staff to the servers, ensuring our guests had the best possible time. We are so happy with how our wedding went thanks to their professionalism.

Current saved our wedding! Our original venue was shutdown 2 weeks before the big day, so we had very limited time to find a new venue, coordinate with all our vendors, and relocate all our guests. Our event manager, Paul, jumped in from day one and took over all the logistics and planning for us making the whole process pretty painless all considering. He was a true God-send. Not only did he help pull the day together, he made it something special for us again. The space itself is amazing (modern and clean), with a great waterfront view and perfect acoustics for a band. Our guests raved about the food, especially the triangle sorbet dessert at the end of the night. We couldn't have picked a better venue and exceedingly accommodating team to rescue us in dire circumstances, and deliver above and beyond our expectations.

We celebrated our daughter and new son-in-law’s wedding on August 19th, at The Lighthouse and were lucky to be able to work with Madeline, our Event Manager. She was the consummate professional and a complete pleasure to work with. Every detail was managed flawlessly. From the moment we were introduced to Madeline, we knew we were in great hands. She was incredibly organized, helpful, and responsive. Madeline listened to our ideas and wishes and made sure that everything ran like clockwork. Having an event manager, who possesses the ability to make the day of your wedding stress-free, is a true talent.
The Lighthouse was the perfect venue to have a wedding. The entire staff was incredibly attentive and everyone worked so hard to make the celebration perfect. There was no stone left unturned. Every detail was discussed, and executed to perfection. From the food, to the views, to the transformation of each space of the venue, everything was done with the highest level of professionalism.
It was a night to remember, and we are so happy that we decided to have the wedding at The Lighthouse. Thank you for helping to make the wedding something we, and our guests, will remember forever!

We were so lucky to have our ceremony and reception at Current in February. The staff is incredibly professional and helpful, and they think of *every* detail. The space is gorgeous, chic and vibrant, and the glittering water views were magical. And the best part of any Abigail Kirsch venue was the food of course -- our guests are still raving about it four months later. Everyone kept complimenting us on our wedding planning when really all we did was book the place and show up! Highly recommend!

We could not be happier with the service we received at The Lighthouse!! We worked with Madeline as our coordinator and she was nothing but helpful and wonderful. She was extremely prompt in responding to my 100 emails and completely accommodating. The night of service was out of this world, our guests are still raving about the food and how it was presented! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine everything to be so perfect. I can't speak highly enough about Madeline and the Lighthouse - I wish we could do it all over again!!

We got married at The Lighthouse on July 8th and it was a dream come true! We couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue!! I am still in awe at how wonderful they were to work with! They were so responsible and attentive throughout the entire planning process. Our day of planner, Madeline, was on top of every little detail from beginning to end. She made the day of our wedding completely seamless and stress-free! Everyone just got to relax and enjoy themselves. The venue looked stunning and the food was beyond delicious!! We received glowing reviews from every guest in attendance! The Lighthouse made our day everything we dreamed it would be and more!!

I had my dream wedding at Current, the new venue at Chelsea Piers. The modern aesthetic was perfect for me, and the view of the river was beautiful. The food was amazing- all my guests commented on how delicious everything was and how much food was provided. The evening went so fast, because I didn't have to worry about anything - I could just sit back and relax.

Absolutely LOVED our wedding reception at The Lighthouse. My husband and I had eloped, so we were only looking to throw a huge party, and the team made it happen seamlessly. Our wedding coordinator, Madeline, (provided by the venue) was everything we needed her to be: knowledgeable, flexible and there whenever we needed her. The food was amazing, staff attentive (but not overbearing or annoying), and my guests all said it was the best wedding party they'd ever attended. THANK YOU THANK YOU for the best event I've even been to, or hosted!

After seeing an article about our venue potentially closing (which it has now), we had to scramble a month before our wedding to find an alternative venue which was definitely not an easy task in NYC. Looking back at it all now, it was DEFINITELY a blessing in disguise because we came across Pier Sixty which was hands down the most perfect venue for our fairy tale wedding. I honestly didn't even consider Pier Sixty 14 months or so out before our wedding date, knowing it was completely out of our budget. In a desperate attempt to contact over 50 venues last minute, stumbling across Pier Sixty was just meant to be. It was oddly available all day on our wedding weekend and could accommodate our wedding party size. They were willing to work with our strained budget (due to the old venue) and with all our vendors already booked for the day.
Jayme and Richard were absolutely wonderful and extremely professional to work with. They totally exceeded our expectations and really turned an extremely stressful month into the most magical day I could've imagined. All of our guests raved about the food, especially the cocktail hour. Although they don't offer tastings as their catering is done by Abigail Kirsch, they were true to their word and the food was excellent! Service was top notch and the venue was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for giving us our fairy tale wedding!!

Current is a new venue that I would highly recommend using for any wedding. Not only is the space gorgeous, but the staff is spectacular. Bob worked as our event coordinator, and he was nothing short of fantastic. He made sure all of our needs were met, and I never had a doubt that everything would run smoothly. On top of that, the food is absolutely excellent...and this is coming from a bride who married a guy in the food business. Abigail Kirsch is exceptional in all respects. Thank you for putting on an amazing wedding for us!

The Lighthouse is an utterly spectacular venue. The view alone is worth it, but then you add in the exceptional service and delicious food, it makes it a simply magical experience.
We were married at The Lighthouse in April, and as soon as we walked in we knew it was the venue for us. The place is absolutely gorgeous - with hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows looking out at the water. The staff was always incredibly helpful and kind. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Bob managed every aspect of our day, and he did not skip a beat.
I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. The ambiance and the food were extremely important to us, and they were perfect on both counts. I can't even begin to describe how breathtaking the view is. I would highly recommend The Lighthouse to anyone.

Words cannot express how amazing our experience was at The Lighthouse for our wedding reception. We continue to hear friends and family rave about the event - everything from the food (outstanding, blows any wedding food out of the water), the service (impeccable), to the ambiance (classic, stunning, elegant, classic NY) and just how classy and smooth everything was. We had guests from NYC who were used to fancy affairs, as well as out of town guests, and the feedback was the same - they had the best time and were totally shocked by the experience. We owe so much of this to The Lighthouse, their staff, and Abigail Kirsch. Everything was flawless, even leading up to the event. We never stressed over anything because of the Lighthouse team, and were able to have an amazing time throughout our event. And the value we got with working with The Lighthouse was exceptional and unheard of compared to everything else we were quoted in NYC.
The only thing we are left wanting is friends of our to get married there so we can experience it all over again from the other end as a guest!

Abigail Kirsch food is absolutely outstanding and will completely impress your guests. The Lighthouse is stunning and allows for gorgeous photos. The service is impeccable and you will have no stress the day of your wedding because of the amazing on site coordinator you will have. Bob was the exact person you would want in charge of your most important day. The Lighthouse is worth every penny!

I didn't want to have a wedding planner but also didn't want to fuss over the day-of details. The Lighthouse solved both as they are by far the most delightful people to work with and boy to they have weddings down! I didn't have a care in the world on my wedding day, and neither did my guests. I've never been more impressed with a wedding venue from food, presentation, service, helpfulness, etc. You can't go wrong.

the Lighthouse was a phenomenal wedding venue, and the execution was excellent! Gorgeous views, delicious food, and their service and attention to detail is top notch. Richard Martin, our wedding coordinator (they give you one), was excellent. They also give a bridal day-of attendant to hold lip gloss, get you a drink etc. Richard planned out the timing of the entire reception so we didn't have to worry about when speeches or cake cutting were. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue!

My husband and I were married at the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers a few weeks ago. Ashley, Bob, and the rest of the staff at the Lighthouse made me feel special, like I was the only bride they were focused on, and made the day the most wonderful day it could be. From the planning ahead of time, to getting ready, and to the flow of the evening, I know that my wedding would not have happened with wonderful venue. I also cannot say enough positive things about the food. Everyone loved it and is still talking about it!

We recently had our August 2013 wedding at Pier 60. We had a very large wedding of nearly 600 guests. Pier 60 and its staff were simply amazing. If you going to have a large party or wedding with a clean, modern feel, this is definitely a place to consider.
THE STAFF:
We worked with Greg while signing the contract and up until the two months before the wedding. He was responsive, professional, and eager to help.
In the last two months before the wedding, we worked with Bob as our dedicated event coordinator. Bob was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient. He was also always aware of our budget constraints. He also played an active role in coordinating details with our florist, including table cloths, floor plan setup, etc.
Given the size of the wedding, we were nervous about how hectic everything would get on the big day. On the day of the wedding, however, Bob made sure that my wife and I felt like guests at the wedding. I barely had to make a single decision. The transition from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and to dinner was seamless. Our guests all complimented us on how smoothly everything went.
THE SPACE:
For some time, my wife and I had some hesitation about choosing Pier 60. At first glance, the venue appears to be very plain and business-like. But after working with our florist, and without going outside our budget, we were able to turn the venue into something modern, classy, and wedding-like. Although pricey, I highly recommend using the pinspots on all the tables.
THE FOOD:
We were disappointed to find out that Abigail Kirsch does not offer food tastings. We chose our menu by looking at photos and with our event coordinator’s help. While this may dissuade some couples from this venue, we recommend that you trust the venue’s chef. The cocktail stations and hors' d'oeuvres were delicious. The main course (filet mignon and fish) was also very good. Even with 600 guests, the steak was served warm and cooked to perfection. Our guests have very high standards in food and we received numerous compliments on the food throughout the night. We were also told that the wine (basic package) was quite good.

you know how usually the food is kinda meh at weddings? cocktail hour can be good, dessert usually is too, but the main is... well, that's why you dance during dinner. Not with Abigail Kirsch. Their food is well and beyond the best restaurant you can imagine. Creative, clever, AND absolutely delicious. They bend over backwards to make it YOUR wedding, and trust me, you won't have to worry about a thing. Even if you don't get a tasting. Just trust them. So many of my guests told me this was the best food they'd ever had at an event, or just even the best food they've had, ever.

I'm going to have to say that I couldn't have been more happier than my choice with The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. From a very long day of pre-wedding hair/make-up and pictures, the night went so smoothly and really it is owed all to the expertise of Abigail Kirsch and the Lighthouse staff. With Abigail Kirsch catering the affair, you know you don't have to worrya bout whether the food is good or not, because forit is awesome! With the Lighthouse, they provide you with a banquet manager that acts as your day of coordinator and honestly, I didn't have to worry about a thing. He interacted with all of my vendors smoothly and if there was drama, I was not aware of any of it. The Lighthouse itself is GORGEOUS and it was all way beyond my expectations!

I got married at Abigail Kirsch's The Lighthouse in August 2012 and couldn't have been happier with the venue. We hosted our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there, all food (which was delicious and incredibly well received and reviewed by our guests) was hosted and coordinated in one place, and they provided a banquet manager to assist with planning logistics in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The venue is great, the scenery is beautiful, and it proved to be the perfect setting for our incredible wedding.

From the minute we stepped into the Lighthouse we knew it was what we wanted. It is beautiful!! Everything about our experience here was perfect. We worked with Paul who was awesome. He made sure everything was done exactly how we wanted it. The week before my wedding I didnt have to worry about anything because of him. The food was so good!! We are still hearing from guests that it was the best wedding theyve been to.

The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers was absolutely phenomenal. The space is gorgeous, with hardwood floors, high ceilings, exposed duct-work, floor to ceiling windows, and a beautiful view of the river and the statue of liberty. My sister walked in to the space at the rehearsal dinner and just burst into tears because she thought it was so perfect. I love that its not your traditional ugly carpets, fabric walls and weird sconces.
However - the absolute best part was THE FOOD. It was outstanding. We had many guests tell us that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. There is SO much to choose from, it is all incredibly unique and creatively, beautifully plated. We had mini ice cream cones come out with the cake that were butlered to our guests so they didn't even have to leave the dance floor to get one!
The staff at The Lighthouse were attentive and helpful throughout the entire planning process and the wedding itself. Our banquet manager, Bob, was incredible. Our day ran incredibly smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about anything! My dad joked that all he had to do was vaguely think about perhaps wanting anything at all, and Bob would pop up and ask what he needs!
Overall, highly recommended!!

I really throught the venue, location and food was exceptional for a NYC venue. The staff was great and attentive. It was huge plus that they have a waiter for ever table and food is served elegantly where all your guests are served at once. It was these little touches that really made me think this was a great venue. I knew from my very first meeting when we were just looking at the venue that this was going to be our wedding venue! I will give a tip - There sunday packages are really great for the couple who is looking to save a little bit of money

We were married at The Lighthouse on February 5, 2011 and cannot speak more highly of the venue as well as the individuals with whom we worked in planning our wedding. The venue is perfection; it is a stunning blank canvas that (with the help of amazing florist Kiriba at Atlas) we morphed into your own wonderland. Our guests were extremely complimentary of how beautiful and warm the space was during the dead of winter. Bob was our wedding coordinator and he was amazing. He was available at all times, had a calming demeanor and worked (seemingly without breaking a sweat) to make our wedding seamless. I was not surprised by anything the day of the wedding; he controlled everything such that I was able to just be the bride and enjoy. The day ran smoothly. Everyone marveled at how stunning The Lighthouse is, how amazing the food is and how gracious the staff is. I would do it again exactly the same way, with the same exact people. Thank you to The Lighthouse for everything; it truly is a special place.

I was married in the Lighthouse this past winter and everything was perfect! I was a bit nervous that a winter wedding wouldn't be as special -- but the views and the look and feel of the venue made my wedding feel modern, sophisticated and extremely special (hiring Kiriba at Atlas Floral certainly helped in that endeavor too!) My guests raved about the food -- and thanks to our amazing wedding coordinator, Bob, my husband and I actually got to eat at our own wedding. Bob made sure the day ran seamlessly -- there was nothing I needed to worry about the entire day except greeting my guests and having a good time myself! Bob was on top of everything -- when my mother wasn't at her table when dinner was served, Bob made sure she got another dinner so she could enjoy the food while it was hot! I would highly recommend the Lighthouse for any bride looking for a truly special wedding!

I cannot say enough great things about my wedding at the Lighthouse. Everything was done to perfection, from start to finish. As a bride, you dont want to have to worry about a thing on the day of your affair - and thanks to our catering manager Julie and wedding coordinator Rich, it all went so smoothly and they truly exceeded my expectations with everything they did. It was such a pleasure working with them and they went above and beyond to make it the most beautiful party. The food and service were impeccable and the place itself is just gorgeous. I have been to plenty of weddings at other venues where the service and coordination is so unorganized - I now see how lucky I was by choosing the Lighthouse for my venue! I highly recommend them!

The Lighthouse was really the perfect place to have a traditional wedding reception in a non traditional space.
The atmosphere and service are unsurpassed anything myself or my guests have ever experienced. The staff there really made you feel special and well taken care of.
From the table setting to the way the food was presented was simply beautiful.
Our day of Coordinator was Richard and he was great. Always available and easy to talk to. We got married on a Friday in March which is technically "off season" so we the reception per guest was pretty affordable!
The food was AMAZING. By far not the traditional "wedding food." everything tasted good, was hot and was presented in a beautiful way. We didn't get any "food extras" and there was plenty of food for everyone.
Every detail of the wedding was magnificent and my guests continue to rave about it.
