Rent the perfect small wedding venue in New York

Bridezillas, be warned: you may be outshone on your special day. But not by a bridesmaid, no, we are afraid the scenery could steal your spotlight. This up-close and personal view of St Patrick's Cathedral (seriously, it’s like you could reach out and touch it) is one of the most unique views in the city. Rooftops may be a common highlight of NYC, but you’ve never seen a roof quite like this. 620 Loft is perfect for your intimate wedding, with a capacity of 75 outdoors or 120 indoors. Centrally located in Midtown off Fifth Avenue, getting married here would be a bragging right.

If you can't decide between an Italian countryside destination wedding or a glamorous city ceremony, don’t let it lead to a marital tiff. The Foundry is a historic venue in Queens with 3,000 sq ft of gardens, courtyards, a terrace, and indoor greenery ideal for every theme. You can fawn over the Manhattan skyline without giving up your spacious reception. As a restored 19th-century building, the Foundry maintains all its original charm. How romantic, right? There are plenty of mixed spaces for weddings of all sizes, but we recommend the Courtyard for its exposed brick and ivy-covered walls. This room in particular can fit around 100 guests for ceremonies or receptions.

In 1847, a townhouse in the West Village was erected for a sashmaker and his family, which is a sentence we can’t believe we just said. In true New York fashion, 632 on Hudson has since held a lot of identities: a market, a speakeasy, even a sausage factory. It traded hands until it was restored to its original glory and became a venue available for special events. Now, you can customize your wedding to your exact taste by choosing the apartment, the rooftop, the speakeasy, or the entirety of the triplex for your special day. There are few venues as special and historic as 632, and it’s sure to start your marriage off on the perfect foot.

Up to 150 people can be hosted in the main space, The Triplex, and 50 in the speakeasy space. There are also a few rooms to be used as getting-ready suites for the bride and groom.

For literary lovers, getting married in a bookstore is a fairytale dream. This dream can become a reality at the Housing Works Bookstore in Soho. For a ceremony of just 30 seated guests, mahogany bookshelves and twinkle lights make for the perfect romantic backdrop. There’s even a spiral staircase to shout your undying love off of. Housing Works is a well-known charity supporting homeless and displaced persons in NYC with HIV and Aids. Saying “I do” while supporting a cause like this one is sure to make your cup runneth over.

We have three words for you: Tiffany. Stained. Windows. Atrium 82, a historic brownstone in Brooklyn, is an intimate and classic wedding venue. This spot is centrally located between Barclays Center and Prospect Park, making for the perfect Park Slope wedding. With those iconic stained windows surrounding the sunroom, the wedding photos practically take themselves. Atrium 82 is a Black and women-owned small business, with every booking supporting underserved youth in West Africa. It offers a charming option for Brooklyn locals looking for class without being too flashy.
