So my first venue suggestion is obvious from that lovely painting we’ve been working with the last couple weeks…

Could you imagine walking down the sidewalk of Bryant Park between rows of oversized light posts to a ceremony staged in front of Le Carrousel?

To hold an event at Bryant Park you actually have to go through a proposal process that includes details about your event. It is recommended that you allow a lead time of 3 to 6 months for large events and 1 to 2 months for smaller affairs. However, a complete proposal can usually be reviewed within a week and estimated fees will be provided by the Events Department.

You can have your wedding planner arrange everything through the Events Department or contact them personally at events@urbanmgt.com or by phone 917-438-5119. An Event Planning Guide is also provided through the Bryant Park website that provides detailed information on preparing an event proposal.

Now you are probably wondering where the light bulbs come in to play, right?

Well, I’d like to introduce you to The Private Roof Club & Garden at Gramercy Park Hotel.

Doesn’t that just seem so ethereal and inviting? As soon as I saw Dan & Carly’s wedding here, I knew it was the perfect place for an intimate NYC affair.

Everything about this space is stunning, from the aura of the early 20th century hotel roof tops to the artwork of Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst. The Private Roof Club & Garden offers a little something for everyone and can accommodate up to 300 guests.

When you arrange to host your reception at the Gramercy Park Hotel you are provided with a team of skilled event professionals who will cater to your every need. To set up a meeting with the Director of Special Events call 212-201-2168 or email ckornreich@gramercyparkhotel.com.

Next week we will discuss additional decoration ideas that will really make these spaces unique to our event.
