CURRENT at Pier Sixty is an AMAZING place to have your wedding! From the moment we saw it, we were mesmerized by the open concept, water view, color-changing ceilings, and friendli...
ness of the staff. They were so responsive to all of our questions while we were selecting a venue. After booking, they were always immediately responsive to us with anything that came up.
So many people told us this was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to and so much of that is due to CURRENT and its staff. The sun setting over the water is just unreal. The linen color choices are plentiful, and we were able to select the color that went perfectly with all our other wedding decor.
It makes it so much easier that they include an Event Coordinator, who coordinates everything leading up to and on the wedding day. He answered all of our questions any time we had them, and was there from the moment we arrived on the wedding day. He guided us through every part of the day, from walking down the aisle, to coordinating everything during the cocktail hour and reception to ensure guests were okay and where they needed to be.
The bridal attendant they include was PHENOMENAL! She helped steamed the dress, was with us during all pictures (even fanning us to cool off in between!) and was the most attentive person. We had no idea someone so incredible would be with us.
The menu choices are unending! And it's all delicious. Everyone was blown away by the quality and quantity of the food!
CURRENT literally was the wedding of our dreams..more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We recommend them to everyone!!

The day of, we had no stress because we were in such good hands. The staff anticipated my needs as the bride (sometimes before I even realized) and went above and beyond — bringing me a portable fan on the dance floor, coming with me to my first look site, carrying my train. You will have an unforgettable wedding working with Pier Sixty.

When you’re planning a wedding, you have to make countless decisions. Choosing to get married at Pier Sixty was easily the best decision we made.
My wife and I really wanted a ven...
ue with character that wasn't cookie-cutter. A place that served incredible food, and knew how to throw a party. The team at Pier Sixty delivered all that and more.
Our two main points of contact, Chynna Hill and Peter Lee, were exceptional. But so was everyone on their staff, down to the last waiter and bar tender. The team at Pier Sixty is friendly, honest, and attentive–always getting back to us promptly and making us feel like the only couple in their orbit. Most importantly, if they said they were going to do something, they did it. Making good on every promise they made us.
We couldn’t have had a better experience, and can’t thank Pier Sixty enough for everything they did to make our wedding so special.

The day went so smoothly because of her and she is incredibly responsive, patient, and kind. I honestly was zero percent stressed because of her. She was so helpful in answering questions and EXTREMELY flexible with our last minute changes. THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER. The food is AMAZING! We have people still commenting to me how they loved the food and wished our wedding never ended!!! They literally are the best. Look no further and book your wedding here! Worth it!!! Also shout out to the bridal attendants !!!!!! AMAZING and saved the day many times over :) a

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!

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 comf...
ortable 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 famil...
y 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.

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.

s 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.

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.

edgeable, 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.

tiful, 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.

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

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.

ght 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 Lighth...
ouse, 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 danc...
ing. 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 relocat...
e 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 consummat...
e 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 gorge...
ous, 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!
