Rent the perfect wedding venue in New York

The Plaza: home to the most lavish of social affairs and on-screen cameos. You’ve seen it in everything from Seinfield and Home Alone 2, to North by Northwest and Gossip Girl. Originally opening in 1907, The Plaza is steeped in history and was even the birthplace of The Beatles’“Michelle.” For a showstopper of a wedding that would turn Gatsby green with envy, this historically classic venue is the one.

And we’re not putting that lightly. Its chateau-inspired interiors boast opulence at every corner. Think ceiling frescoes, champagne towers, and white-gloved butlers passing round hors d’oeuvres.

Soon-to-be’s can choose between four rooms for the ceremony and an equally lavish after-party. The Grand Ballroom has hosted events for over a century and offers columns galore, space for 1,000 guests, and crystal chandeliers to rival those at Versailles. Or perhaps The Edwardian Room: dark-paneled, with a trussed ceiling featuring Italian Renaissance art and views of Central Park. And all for up to 300 of your nearest and dearest.

Package deals are available with extensive catering included and suites for newlyweds. Just don’t pull a Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway and book the same day as your best friend. (see: Bride Wars)

Tucked away next to Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens (or BBG) offers a serene, urban oasis for a non-traditional couple to tie the knot. Over 100 years old and ideal for those go-get-em-early-bird-catches-worm people as all ceremonies must conclude by 10am.

Choose your ideal setting for up to 60 guests for an intimate(ish) ceremony. Consider The Osborne Garden: wisteria-draped, Italianate space boasting crabapples and azaleas. Or perhaps The Water Garden, a favorite among monarch and painted-lady butterflies.

Afterward, host a reception for up to 125 in The Atrium, an eco-friendly structure with a roof of native grasses and wildflowers. Or for larger ‘I do’s’, The Palm House seats 250. Both greenhouse-like buildings offer floor-to-ceiling glass walls; naturally lit by day, and candlelit by night.

Catering packages are available, as well as photography. And let's be honest - the pictures are half the reason for getting married here. Especially during the famed cherry esplanade bloom.

Just remember. No birdseed allowed. (Seriously).
