We had an Ecuadorian-Chinese wedding with family style dining. Our guests raved about the service and food. Our dessert table was massive, and had so much to pick from that having a wedding cake almost seemed like a waste because we had so many sweets. HIGHLY recommend!

We booked our July 2023 wedding here at 501 union and can whole heartedly say we would recommend…read morethe space to anyone looking for a beautiful space to make their own. We planned our wedding from out of state, and this proved to be be a non issue for the staff as they easily set up phone call and zoom sessions with us and our coordinator. We felt the pricing and expectations for what was available and offered to us clear and well explained. This is an amazing space that is essentially a beautiful blank canvas, meaning you can do as much or as little as you wish here. Our day of coordinator helped us secure many vendors to fulfill all the duties of the space, almost all who had worked events here before and had nothing but good things to say. When the day of arrived, we were given free reign of the space and politely checked in with every few hours to see if we needed anything on their end. When the wedding kicked into full gear we had a small unexpected hiccup (outside their control), which they promptly worked to fix and followed up with us after the wedding. I really felt they did an amazing job with customer service and providing a clean, open space to make our dreams a reality. We brought in two food trucks, and two drop off catering to which the space lended well. The house bar staff was great and the whole day truly was a dream. TLDR; This is an amazing space, that really lets you fulfill all of your DIY dreams. It's beautiful enough on its own, but lends well to any additions you want to bring in. The house staff was great and we would definitely recommend to friends and family!

The decor is modern, simple, and feels romantic. I was fortunate to work with Abby (and Emory for part of the day of) and she was more than accommodating to both me and my couple. Abby was quick to reply to all of my questions and other requests. On top of that, she's super friendly and has a great attitude. We used a couple of their preferred vendors, as well as outside vendors and Abby and her team worked with all flawlessly.

The room was right off the small lobby that you enter from the elevator, the bathrooms are located right there also. The staff was extremely helpful with all my questions and very helpful when it came to setting up the room for the event. We wanted to do quite a bit of decorating which was fine with them, we cleaned it all up after of course, they supplied plenty of garbage bags. There is also a small kitchen that came in handy. They had the seating and the tables and the lighting that we wanted, plus a grand piano too. Good location, just a short walk from Penn Station for those out of NYC and subways for everyone else. We all had a great time. Thanks again to Balance Arts Center!

I took the introduction class of Alexander Technique from Ann and it was an awesome experience. Ann helped me to adjust very subtle postures and with her hands, I could try my best to remember them. This made my daily walking more fun - I became more mindful when walking and try to practice anytime and anywhere. This class also greatly helped me to be more aware and improve on my ballet class. I first came to this place not because of the class but because of private meditation sessions. This place has become one of my secret oases of peace in the city since then. This place is so well managed and could provide me a strong communal feel. This is a place full of LOVE!

Once upon a time a metal factory.... now it is presently a lovely venue that hosts various private events. Yes, one can book 26 Bridge for their wedding, parties, anniversaries and all types of other celebratory functions. We came here on 2/2/19 to attend La Tablee NY Tasting (thanks for the tickets!). As we pulled up in front of the place we were kindly greeted by a gentleman at the front door. The La Tablee NY Tasting is a celebration of over 100 wines of the Rhone Valley (Northen + Southern France) . The La Tablee NY Tasting was already in full swing as we checked in, placed our outerwear at the coat check and were each given a wine glass and wine tasting booklet. Before proceeding towards any wine/food tables, we glanced at the map indicating where each wine/food table was located. We went to each table, sampled things and marked it off in our booklet. There was space to write notes pertaining to specific wines that we liked. Because I enjoy the flavor of white wine and since there was fewer of those, I can safely say that every single white wine I had was my favorite-lol. Along with the wine tasting, there were delightful tasty treats to sample from restaurants/eateries including Atrium, Andante Dairy, Bar Boulud, Celestine and Frankies Spuntino. The Charcuterie platters (fresh cheeses, breads, crackers, fruit and meats) were so good. We tried Toscanna Aqua Penna for the first time (yes, I am very late-lol) and this bottled water is smooth + refreshing. Shout out to Columbe staffperson Ellie as she made the best Latte.... Bridge 26 boats wooden floors and high ceilings in which the natural sunlight radiates through the venue. There are bathrooms on the upper and lower levels and the downstairs bathroom has a connecting "powder room" so that brides, birthday boys/girls and eveyone in between can freshen up and get ready for their festivities. 375 people can be in the venue for standing events and a bit over 200 can fit there during seated events. The Bridge 26 website has a section in which you can send them an email to make general inquiries on booking this space. The La Tablee NY Tasting was fantastic and it was cool to attend it at 26 Bridge.
