Looking for NYC wedding venue recs — ~100 guests, 2027, party/dancing focused!
Hi everyone! I’m starting to look for a venue/restaurant for a 2027 wedding and would love any recommendations!
We’re thinking around 100 people, but we don’t have a date set yet and are pretty flexible on the time of year.
The biggest thing for me is having a really good space for a DJ and a dance floor — I want this to feel more like a huge fun party where everyone is dancing all night rather than a traditional wedding. 😂
We’re actually not doing a ceremony at the venue (we’ll be doing that separately at City Hall), and I’m still flexible on the food situation. I could definitely see us doing a more traditional seated dinner, but I’m also open to something more relaxed like grazing tables, passed apps, stations, or a mix of dinner + more casual late-night food options throughout the night.
Ideally, I’d love to keep the venue + open bar + food around $20–30k total.
Looking for:
● Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens
● ~100 guests
● LOTS of room/space for dancing + DJ
● Open bar
● Flexible food options (seated dinner, stations, or more cocktail-style grazing ideas)
● Bonus points for outdoor space/rooftop/garden/patio
● Something that feels fun/cool/unique rather than a traditional wedding venue
Does anyone have any venues or restaurants they loved that might fit this vibe and budget?
Thank you!! 🥂💃🏻
