Types of Wedding Venues

NYC offers diverse wedding spaces: historic ballrooms, modern lofts, rooftop gardens, intimate restaurants, and unique spaces like museums or boats. Consider your guest count, formality level, and whether you need ceremony and reception in one location.

Understanding Wedding Minimums

Wedding minimums in NYC typically range from $10,000 to $50,000+. This usually includes catering and basic bar service. Understand exactly what the minimum covers and what incurs additional charges (rentals, upgrades, overtime).

Vendor Flexibility

Some venues require in-house catering while allowing outside photographers, florists, and entertainment. Others offer complete flexibility. Request the venue's preferred vendor list and policies for outside vendors early in your planning.

Timeline and Planning

NYC wedding venues book 9-18 months in advance for popular dates. Secure your date with a deposit, then work backward on vendor timelines. Most venues include a coordinator for day-of logistics - understand their role versus a wedding planner.

Amazing Birthday Experience at Highwater Rooftop! Me and a friend hosted a joint birthday celebration at Highwater Rooftop, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Chris, the owner, was super accommodating and great to work with—he made the planning process easy and stress-free. The venue itself was great and the two floors were spacious and easily accommodated 100+ guests.The DJ was awesome too. Highly recommend Highwater Rooftop to host an event :)

Hilary Forrestat Highwater Rooftop

Best rooftop in NYC, I fly in from LA & MIA and this is by far my favorite bar to go to ever. Has great happy hours and delicious bites to eat. Not to mention the staff is so sweet and always recommend drinks that are unique to their space! The views are also to die for by the way :)))

I love this place lowkey spot with great music and great vibes nice chill views. The drinks are really good haven’t had the food but I’m sure that’s good as well. The people, managers and photographer / artist provide a great unforgettable experience. Definitely coming back here again and referring more people to come as well

Amazing vibes and views. Ricardo was great, and made cocktails that I didn’t even know I wanted! (And would love) Found this place because I am staying at the Indigo hotel, but I will for sure come here again regardless.

Charlize van Zylat Highwater Rooftop

We hosted our company holiday party at Highwater Rooftop last night, and it was absolutely amazing! The vibe was perfect, stunning city views, great atmosphere, and such a cool space to celebrate with our team. The food and drinks were a huge hit, especially the creative cocktails. The staff was super friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly, even handling a few last-minute requests like pros. Everyone had such a great time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to celebrate. Thanks to the Highwater team for making it such a memorable night. Highly recommend for any event, or even just a night out!
