I just had my DREAM WEDDING here. It was like a fairy tale. I would give it 10 stars if I could!…read more When I first started wedding planning, I agonized, BOY did I agonize over how to have a cost effective wedding in New York. My now husband and I are in our early/mid 30's and were paying for much of it ourselves with help from our moms. So while we had plenty of help, we did not have unlimited resources. So many reviews of NYC wedding venues say, "Oh, I had my fantasy wedding here!" Of course you did. We can all have the Manhattan wedding of our dreams with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Anyways, there are many blogs about having a New York wedding on a budget. Have your wedding in the park and then go to a nice alcohol free brunch! Have a potluck in the park! Just bring cute umbrellas and galoshes if it rains, don't worry, the pictures will be SOOO CUTE! Have a wedding at the courthouse and then hire a food truck to feed all your friends, yum and sure to impress hipsters everywhere. I know, have it on a random Wednesday afternoon! I poured through countless blogs and articles about having a wedding in Manhattan on a budget....And I was just like....no. First of all, my husband and I could not be further from "shabby chic." A farm or outdoor wedding with mason jars etc etc was just not going to work for us. (Not that that is usually any cheaper, don't be fooled!) I wanted the REAL DEAL. An aisle to walk down. A place where I could have live classical music during the ceremony. Saturday night. Dinner. Dancing. A place where I didn't need a rain plan. THE WHOLE KIT AND KABOODLE. Of course, my now husband would have been totally cool with just going to the courthouse and calling it a day, but while I am no bridezilla, I was having none of that. Everywhere I turned (looking online and making inquiries etc), the prices were out of our budget, and the venue often worked with exclusive vendors, locking you in to whatever they charged. I discovered Landmark on the Park while perusing the New York Wedding Guide "Splurge vs. Save" feature on venues. The Angel Orensanz Foundation was the "splurge", Landmark being the "save". A church wedding without ACTUALLY getting married in a church? SIGN ME UP. For about five thousand dollars, I looked no further. Seriously, I called, met Darius, and gave them our deposit right then and there. I did not shop around or visit any other place. IT IS GORGEOUS! And I mean come on-the whole church but not a church thing was perfect for a non practicing catholic bride and non practicing jewish groom getting married by their gay presbyterian aunt .They will even cover the Jesus washing feet mural and Tiffany alter for you. I could have an aisle to walk down and a beautiful acoustic for live classical music, AND have the reception and ceremony be in the same place. Yes please! They run a tight ship-they pipe and drape off the main part of the cathedral where the tables are for the reception, and the ceremony is in the front of the church. Later those chairs move to the dinner tables, and the ceremony area becomes the cocktail reception, and later the dance floor. No muss, no fuss, no big break between the ceremony and reception. Tables and piano included, no extra charge. They also include chairs but we rented smaller ballroom chairs from out caterer. Darius was a dream to work with every step of the way. Friendly, helpful, positive, pro-active. We were in such good hands and I could not be happier to have found this place. He was very responsive to all of our questions whenever we had them. While it was more work for me to have a venue that was not all inclusive, it allowed me to shop around and hire the vendors we wanted, many of whom were already dear friends, or recommended by friends. All of our friends and family kept saying they weren't expecting our wedding to be so "fancy". It truly had a grand feel to it, given the sheer size and how beautiful it looks at night with candles everywhere. And right off Central Park-it felt very much like US. Very New York, and all of our friends in the city could come without schlepping to some random midwestern suburb that neither of us visit any more. The bathrooms are a little small and not fancy-I only mention this for anyone who has a crazy mother who's going to go in there and get kooky about it. Also, you only get the venue from about 5-10 PM. People were definitely NOT ready to leave by 10, everyone was having such a great time. No big deal, I'd always rather leave people wanting more than have it get sloppy, but in hindsight I would have paid 500 extra to have the space until 11. Our wedding came in at around 30K for 100+ people smack in the middle of Manhattan, with all the fixings of a traditional wedding. And it was NICE with really and truly a high end feel to it. We have Darius and Landmark on the Park to thank and we are so grateful. It was absolutely perfect and has our highest recommendation.

Where do I begin? If you're looking for an event space, look no further. Landmark is IT…read more This was the first and last place we looked at to host our 135 person wedding. We knew from the minute we talked to Darius that planning an event here would be easy as pie. He is beyond helpful and will go out of his way to ensure your event goes off without a hitch. And he is one of the most professional vendors I have ever worked with. It's refreshing when you find someone who doesn't give you a hard time and who genuinely wants to see your event be the best it can be. Then the space itself...it's impressive, to say the least. It's beyond accommodating and spacious, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how cool and unique it was. Working with a good uplighting company can enhance it even further, but even if you can't do that, the setting is so gorgeous you won't have to worry about dressing it up too much. One of the best parts is that your rental fee includes SO MUCH. Unlike other raw spaces, which charge thousands for an empty room, Landmark saves you money in the long run by providing tables, chairs, pipe and drape, even theatrical lighting. Their staff is professional and quick. We had the ceremony and the reception in the same space, and there were no issues with turnaround time. Not to mention, the location is right across the street from Central Park! You can't ask for a better setting when it comes to wedding photos. Check out some of mine :) All in all, Landmark is truly a hidden gem that should be utilized by couples looking to add a unique flair to their wedding, without breaking the bank. I owe so much to Darius and his staff. You'll have to provide the other services (catering, DJ, etc) but knowing you've at least got the space under control is one less bit of planning stress you'll have to deal with. Feel free to DM me if you want to know more!

I will never work with them again and I suggest no one else does as well. They will not give you the deposit and they consistently were unprofessional. The deliver man yelled at me over the phone about me not being outside to pick up and the entire time he was the one who did not look at the direction correctly and apologized. They also said they would come pick up yesterday and came today after multiple times of me trying to contact them and ask them what is going on.

I booked a table with BBS after reading such good reviews and being in contact with them and the night turned out to be a success! Had the Buy 1 Get 1 free deal and I spent a bit more than I was expecting but it was right around my budget so there were no worries! All my guests who came in on time came in with no problems whatsoever! Some came late and depending on the time there may have been an issue but never the less, it was still a great time and the best birthday! It was the perfect way to ring in 21! Will definitely be using them again, and referring people to them! Thank you again BBS!!! You made it the best bday ever!

Cristina was helpful in answering…read morethe questions I had over email and confirmed my group was all set with a reservation at Monarch but by the time I got to the venue, my name was nowhere to be found on the list and nobody working there had any clue who Birthday Bottle Service was. I ended up starting from scratch and waited 15 minutes in the lobby with my group before being shown to a table. I was also told by Birthday Bottle Service that tables at Monarch had a 2 bottle, $700 minimum commitment. Guess what? That was also a lie. We just opened a tab with our server, charged all the drinks to the table and spent $250 for the whole night. In short, if you want to reserve a table/bottle service, go direct to the venue - BBS offers no value.
