My wife and I got married here a year ago. Nikki was professional and made sure we were taken care of. All of our guests raved about how amazing the food was. They worked well with our wedding planner and made it a very seamless event. My wife and I lived our best lives that day.

After a long and exhaustive search for a venue, we were relieved to meet Kevin and get a tour of this venue. Immediately our worries subsided. The View at The Battery provided a tight gameplan that reduced our stress but allowed us to customize different aspects of the wedding planning. The cost was great and our wedding weekend in June was everything we had hoped for. From the great view of the water, to the delicious food, it all went well. But the biggest plus was the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff at the venue. The team even went above and beyond to look for some missing jewelry left behind during our rehearsal dinner. We really felt at home the entire weekend and we can't recommend this enough to anyone looking for a great price at a great location.

My husband and I held our wedding reception at The View in March of 2023, and could not have been happier with the experience! From initial consultation to the actual day, Nikki and her team did everything imaginable to make us feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for. Nikki is extremely personable and organized—you can tell she’s an absolute professional at handling every imaginable wedding detail! From the moment we booked the venue, she was super attentive and responsive to any questions or emails (I even noted some very late-night email replies and wondered when she sleeps!). It’s no secret to most brides, the closer to your wedding date, the more stressful and overwhelming all the nitty-gritty details become. At our final meeting before the wedding, Nikki confidently reassured me that on the day of our rehearsal and final drop off to the venue, there would be nothing left to stress about. It was exactly the pep-talk I needed at the time, and she could not have been more accurate! The entire event ran seamlessly. If you’re looking for an amazing cocktail hour—look no further! The food was absolutely delicious and our guests still mention how great the lobster rolls were months later. Our photos came out beautiful, and while the waterfront is gorgeous, we also have incredible portraits in Battery Park with the Freedom Tower as our backdrop. When all was said and done, it felt like we had a trusted friend looking out for us on our wedding day. 10 out of 10, would recommend having your NYC wedding at The View!!

We had a perfect wedding at The View.We had beautiful photos in Battery Park with a ton of variety—we had photos with our vintage cab, garden photos and waterfront photos.The food was AWESOME. The guests raved about cocktail hour and how there was so much variety, from lobster rolls to hot dogs to a roast pig. Everyone was impressed.Nikki was so communicative and so easy to work with from our first tour to our wedding day. She gave us excellent recommendations for our menu and helped us execute the vision we had for our wedding day. On the day of, she was so helpful— and something I we really appreciated is that during cocktail hour, she brought us food in the bridal suite just so we can unwind and connect after being on the go all morning for our ceremony and photos.We loved it so much that we are going for dinner on our anniversary.

There will never be enough words to describe how absolutely amazing our wedding experience was at The View at The Battery - from initial planning through to the actual day. My husband and I really had our hearts set on getting married in the city, with city views, but when we started looking at venues, really did not think it was going to be possible to find a place that offered everything we were looking for, was high quality AND within our budget but The View at The Battery changed everything! The space is beautiful, the food is beyond words, the service is 5 stars and the team you will work with is the best of the absolute best in NYC!!! Kevin, Nikki, and their whole team were so incredibly kind to us from the very start and made the whole planning process so incredible easy. They were SO accommodating, honest, transparent, and thoughtful every step of the way. The team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed/wanted (no matter how big, like a swap in the menu or how small, like helping family members with directions) and made sure that, not only did my husband and I have an amazing day, but also that all of our guest did as well! All of our friends and family have been to many, many weddings in their lives, and nearly two weeks later, they are all still talking about how amazing all the staff was and that they are still dreaming about the cocktail hour and dinner meal!! All of our wedding dreams came to life thanks to Kevin and his team. I truly cannot ever say enough good things about The View at The Battery and we will be forever grateful to them for all they offered and did to make our day a perfect dream come true.

We had our wedding at The View in May 2022 and we were very happy with the outcome of the day. We began working with Nikki about 9 months prior and she guided us through the whole process, while offering her input, suggestions and items to consider. She was also flexible with our needs and accommodating. The venue is located in downtown Manhattan and is set right on the Hudson River with spectacular views of the harbor, the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s Island and Jersey City. On our wedding day, we held our ceremony outside which was a memorable setting for our guests and beautiful photos.Word of caution with an outside ceremony: the Staten Island Ferry makes frequent trips between the nearby Terminal and Staten Island, and the Ferry horn was sounded during our ceremony. Secondly, given that the location is popular with tourists and passerbys, be advised that there will be spectators for your ceremony and some may inadvertently show up in photos (photoshop was needed). Throughout the day, Nikki was present at all times and led the smooth executions and transitions of our ceremony, cocktail hour (which was partially outside on the patio and inside the restaurant) and reception (which was held upstairs). Our guests still talk about how incredible the food was during the cocktail hour! For our reception, we had about 170 guests, and while the seating was a little tight, there was ample room for the dance floor and our DJ, which was our main focus. The balcony space also offered an area of relief for our guests to take a break in quiet. All-in-all, we had a fantastic day. We recommend this venue and working with Nikki for anyone looking to host an event.

Affordable! Accommodating! Flexible! Beautiful! This venue is absolutely amazing - like out of this world, make your wedding dreams come true AMAZING!!! We weren't sure our NYC dream wedding was in our budget but after our first meeting with Nikki at The View, we knew it was the place we had been looking for. Nikki answered EVERY single one of my questions (I mean every email, every text and every phone call) in the year leading up to our wedding and offered her suggestions when we weren't sure about certain things but she also respected and honored our vision from the beginning and worked with us from the second we first viewed the venue to the second we were leaving at the end of our wedding. Our guests could NOT stop talking about the food, the location, the drinks - everything!! I still can't believe how lucky we were to find this place. If we could get married here every year we would because we were so stress free the entire planning period and felt like we had the support of Nikki the whole time. I even asked her if she thought I would need a day of coordinator and she said that she would handle everything. I was worried about leaving her with too much but she took care of it. Her and her team put out all of our individual place cards, put our family pictures in the picture frames and found a holder for our drink sign that had broken. They also packaged EVERYTHING up (I'm talking BOXES of decor) and put it all back how we originally brought it the day before. When we came for the rehearsal the day before, our guests were treated to champagne and cold drinks and welcomed like family. Nikki helped me gather everyone I needed for our formal pictures after the ceremony and made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when. She was EXCEPTIONAL and helped us bring our wedding vision to life. We handled most of the décor portion ourselves (centerpieces, florals, arch, décor) and she worked with us the whole time to make sure it all came together how I pictured it. I would recommend this place to everyone!! Our guests still haven't stopped talking about our wedding 2 months later and it's all thanks to Nikki and her team.

The View was the perfect place for our reception. I had a very specific vision -- I wanted a NYC venue that 1. was walkable from a nearby church for ceremony, 2. had exceptional food, 3. was reasonably priced with an open bar, 4. was beautiful with a great view, preferably waterfront, 5. had a suitable location for our photo sessions (the Battery Park was perfect), 6. had easy access to outside for our guests to take breaks, and 7. had a reliable coordinator as I didn't have a planner. The View was all of those and more. The venue is very transparent with their options and prices, and I really appreciated that. Their coordinator Nikki was awesome as well. She was my point of contact person during preparation and she was responsive to all my questions and concerns. On the day of, as I was panicking due to unexpected problems, she calmed me down and told me she'd take care of things, and I was not to worry and enjoy the day. And she figured it out and took care of all the decorations with the props I brought in. And she frequently checked in on me during the festivities and made sure I ate. Everything turned out great, Nikki truly saved my day.Our guests raved about the food (especially the lobster rolls... they were a hit!) and the waterfront view -- basically everyone took selfies on the balcony. A lot of guests came up to me to tell me that it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. I'd recommend The View in a heartbeat.

The food was outstanding and our guests could not stop raving about it. We initially wanted to have our wedding outdoors, but it was a monsoon. The team at the view made it so nobody even thought about the weather. Everything from the food, to the drinks, to the vendor list shared was perfect.

This was the absolute perfect wedding venue for us, this place is truly a gem. The backstory is that I had to change my venue and date because of COVID restrictions, and was very discouraged as I was looking for venues a second time — until we visited The View. It made me excited for our big day again, and Kevin helped a lot of my stress melt away because he was so helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process. It seemed that everything worked out for the best because this place was an even better fit for us than our original venue. Our guests absolutely loved the food and the views. We had a lot of out-of-towners, so the location was exciting and iconic. My husband and I come from immigrant Filipino families, and so it felt extra special for us and our families to be able to see the Statue of Liberty from the venue.Huge thanks to Kevin and Nikki for making everything just beautiful! I was worried about not having a day-of-wedding coordinator, but Nikki really stepped up and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. I also appreciated that they were really great to talk to about COVID safety. 5 stars!

I am so grateful and appreciative for everything that Kevin and Nikki did for me to make my wedding such a beautiful event and a smashing success. We were supposed to get married at Central Park and the reception was at The View. The weather wasn't going to cooperate and the day before the ceremony, Kevin suggested holding the ceremony at The View just in case. We had to move some things around, but if it wasn't for his professionalism, flexibility, his stay strong attitude and most importantly his sincere feelings on wanting my day to be so special, I really don't know what I would've done or how it was going to turn out.

Not only is the venue beautiful, the food was absolutely amazing. My vendors even contacted me after the wedding to say what a great time they had at my wedding. Some even ask if I can renew my vows at our 1-year anniversary just so they can experience everything once again at The View. Please check out The View at Battery Park for a first class reception and ask for Kevin and/or Nikki. You won't be sorry. Every detail was perfect and they handled everything that had to change at the last minute with such ease and professionalism. Aside from saying \"yes\" to marrying my husband, this was the best decision I made regarding my wedding. I have the utmost gratitude and offer my sincerest thanks towards Kevin, Nikki and Alec. Thanks again for all of you for making my day so special and one that not only myself and my husband will fondly remember, but my guests as well. I give this venue and their team 5 GOLD STARS and then some!!

I am so grateful and appreciative for everything that Kevin and Nikki did for me to make my wedding such a beautiful event and a smashing success. We were supposed to get married at Central Park and the reception was at The View. The weather wasn't going to cooperate and the day before the ceremony, Kevin suggested holding the ceremony at The View just in case. We had to move some things around, but if it wasn't for his professionalism, flexibility, his stay strong attitude and most importantly his sincere feelings on wanting my day to be so special, I really don't know what I would've done or how it was going to turn out.

Pure perfection for our reception. The coordinator, Nikki, was truly exceptional and was incredibly thoughtful and flexible to our requests (worked under an extremely tight timeline!). The food - from the canapés to the salad to the entrees - was flawless, and the location is stunning . We could not recommend highly enough.

Finding Kevin and his excellent team at The View at the Battery was a dream come true for us because we were so excited about the idea of getting married in the neighborhood that we live in (and met in). From day one, Kevin was an incredible resource: highly responsive, very professional, extremely accommodating, and exceptionally kind. Kevin's MO is to operate his business with warmth, recognizing the importance of people's wedding days, and we felt that throughout the entire wedding planning process. The day of our wedding, Kevin and Nikki handled absolutely everything for us, without us worrying about a thing (even inclement weather, that of course hit right when the ceremony was to start!). Although our ceremony ended up being held inside (we had planned to hold it outside), the ceremony looked stunning from the second floor of the venue, where big glass windows captured the beauty of the stormy skyline and the Statute of Liberty in the background, with beautiful floral arrangements and curtains in the foreground. The whole day feels like a blur, but throughout the experience we felt so well taken care of--as did all of our guests, who raved about the incredible cocktail hour, seated menu, and drinks. We are so glad to have worked with Kevin and Nikki, and we look forward to visiting The View's restaurant many times in the future as old friends.

We got married at The View at Battery Park September 2021. It was a perfect day thanks to Nikki and her team. I started to panic before the wedding that I should have hired my own day of coordinator but there was no need to worry because Nikki had it covered. She was the perfect mix of calming energy but also on top of everything- it allowed me to relax and have fun! She put aside food for us at the cocktail hour and even bustled my dress (which gave my mom relief). I can not compliment her enough! Every (slightly control freak) bride's dream! The venue itself was great as well. We received several compliments on the food, drinks/bar service and of course the beautiful location (the perfect weather and sunset cocktail hour helped!). Food highlights for me were the lobster rolls at cocktail hour and the fact that all the beef tenderloins at dinner were a perfect medium rare. The venue worked with us to be flexible and accommodating which is so important planning a wedding during these times. Highly recommend The View!

We are so grateful that we found Masterpiece Caterers. From our very first meeting with Kevin (and later with Nikki), we felt completely taken care of and knew Masterpiece would help us pull off our perfect wedding. We were a COVID wedding, which meant rescheduling our original September 2020 date not once, but twice. Every step of the way, our partners at Masterpiece were understanding, accommodating, and supportive. We were frankly surprised at how seamless Nikki and Kevin made the process. Beyond the pandemic, every aspect of our wedding – from the food and drinks to the tables and layout to the service and ambiance – was handled with incredible attention to detail. We had our August wedding at The View, so having multiple indoor and outdoor options was a great benefit. Our guests, even the New York natives, were in awe of the panoramic views, and we lost track of how many people pulled us aside to mention how wonderful all of the food was. Honestly, no duds! Having catering managed in-house with the venue removed one more complexity, which, when you’re planning a wedding, is a huge help. Masterpiece also has great partners (we used their florist and DJ partners) that are equally great.We can’t imagine our wedding without Masterpiece and The View, and we are so happy we don’t have to! Masterpiece Caterers is the epitome of true hospitality.

Words cannot express just how grateful we are to Kevin, Nikki, and the whole Masterpiece Caterers staff! Our wedding was rescheduled due to the pandemic, and Kevin worked with us throughout the process with so much patience and care. Kevin was extremely generous with his time, meeting with us virtually and in person multiple times to ensure that every detail was accounted for. Kevin also set us up with several vendors that were fantastic! On the day, Nikki was absolutely amazing. She was on top of every single detail - setting the tables perfectly, directing all of the guests, and even calming our niece when she was having a temper tantrum. She made everything run so seamlessly, the day would not have been possible without her. Each member of the staff went above and beyond on the day. The date just so happened to also be during a hurricane, but you would never know there was a storm outside based on how bright and joyous everyone was at the View. We have continued the get comments from guests about how wonderful the whole experience was, and how much they loved the food (and we agree!). The day was better than we ever could have imagined! The View is truly a special place and we cannot wait to go back and visit!

Nikki and Kevin also both went above and beyond the call of duty to work with our family who came from out of town to celebrate with us, and Nikki even stepped in to help save the day when my makeup was smudged after taking pictures.

The View at Battery Park just reopened under new ownership just in time for us to move UP our wedding. They were so flexible and accommodating during a really hard time. We had to cancel our old wedding and lost a ton of money and were out of options. I decided to inquire and even when we gave them a hard time about small stuff they were always so flexible, approachable and helped us make this day happen in a way that it was easier. It was as perfect as it could be given the hard times during a pandemic. They were open and honest with us, and even that day Nikki always made sure I, the bride, was feeling great (which is super awesome, the day is so overwhelming and I planned essentially two weddings and one of them was in a couple of months!) I can compliment the food enough, the guests were RAVING about it, even the cake was freaking fantastic (we didn't save our top, haha we ate it that weekend!) Everything came together so nicely with little mistakes but it was as perfect a day that it could be thanks to the people at masterpiece caterers, and bless them all for dealing with couples during this time, and all of my personal shenanigans and worries. The venue upstairs is absolutely GORGEOUS. I wish I planned my original wedding here! The ceremony was on the promenade and it was amazing. Cocktail was also outside under a tent with perfect ambiance. Everything was perfect and this venue is so generous and knows how to run a wedding, Nikki went beyond to help set up and clean up and again helped (and dealt) with me on the big day! Even when we ran super late and guests were late the venue just worked with us and just made sure we had time and were calm. Just so amazing. I was so stressed out as a bride and perfectionist and honestly the day had small things wrong out of my control but by the time we got to the ceremony and everything thereafter run by masterpiece it all came together and me and my husband were just so relaxed haha!

I can compliment the food enough, the guests were RAVING about it, even the cake was freaking fantastic (we didn't save our top, haha we ate it that weekend!) Everything came together so nicely with little mistakes but it was as perfect a day that it could be thanks to the people at masterpiece caterers, and bless them all for dealing with couples during this time, and all of my personal shenanigans and worries. The venue upstairs is absolutely GORGEOUS. I wish I planned my original wedding here! The ceremony was on the promenade and it was amazing. Cocktail was also outside under a tent with perfect ambiance. Everything was perfect and this venue is so generous and knows how to run a wedding, Nikki went beyond to help set up and clean up and again helped (and dealt) with me on the big day! Even when we ran super late and guests were late the venue just worked with us and just made sure we had time and were calm. Just so amazing. I was so stressed out as a bride and perfectionist and honestly the day had small things wrong out of my control but by the time we got to the ceremony and everything thereafter run by masterpiece it all came together and me and my husband were just so relaxed haha!

We got married at The View during COVID. Our original wedding was scheduled for May at Pier A but Kevin and his team were extremely flexible in moving our date to August and letting us change to The View for an outside venue. They were extremely accommodating and helpful. They put us at ease and literally took care of everything for us. We were able to have our wedding, follow all of the current rules in place and still have an amazing time. Our guests raved about the food and service as well! We can’t thank Kevin and Nikki enough for helping us have the celebration of a lifetime!

We had our wedding reception at Battery Gardens in September 2019. Alex made the whole planning process so easy, providing layout suggestions, and accommodating even our silliest requests (yes, we had a pirate-themed signature drink). Maitre D' Eddie and all the staff were so nice and accommodating! We received so many compliments on the views and the food, which people couldn't stop talking about. Battery Gardens is a restaurant and an event space, so the food is exceptional! It is a breathtaking venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, and very affordable for the food and space you're getting -- through our wedding planning process, we found it to be the best value among Manhattan venues. We hope to host events there in the future!

They are surprisingly affordable for NYC (especially on the water), the location is fantastic, the food is delicious, and overall we couldn't have found a more perfect venue for our wedding. Rather than a sit down dinner we had a cocktail party with 160 people and it worked out beautifully. All of our guests gushed about the views and food. I am a professional event planner and I give Battery Gardens my highest recommendation.

We could not have been happier with our wedding at Battery Gardens!!! Our senior catering manager, Michele, and the entire staff were incredible throughout the whole process. Since Battery Gardens is a restaurant, we really liked the fact that we could have a meal there before we selected it as our venue. The restaurant manager was even kind enough to bring us some additional desserts to try. We also loved the view of the Statue of Liberty and Battery Park. Throughout the entire planning process, Michele was amazing! She was very quick to answer any questions that we had, has excellent relationships with many of the vendors and even suggested some to us, and fully handled any special requests that we had regarding our guests allergies. She took perfect notes during both the tasting and the planning process and really made sure that everything went off without a hitch on our wedding night. She had also worked with our day-of coordinator before which helped make this a flawless evening. The wedding package that they offer is very flexible, offering many different options for both the plated meal and the stations. The food at the wedding was exceptional. Our guests still rave about the fabulous wedding that we had at Battery Gardens. Battery Gardens really gives you a top-tier experience for a reasonable price.

We live in Battery Park City, so we have always known about Battery Gardens, and it was one of the first places we considered when starting the conversation about planning our wedding. We worked with Alex Miljkovic, and I think within the first meeting with him, no other venue would compare, mostly because we were impressed with him. He was professional, organized, knowledgeable, and considerate of the feelings of everyone involved. He outlined the perfect day of us within meeting - and followed through on that and more on the day of the event. Battery Gardens is the perfect venue for a couple looking for the classic New York City feel. We had the first floor for cocktail hour, with passed appetizers and stationed appetizers, and indoor and outdoor seating. We moved upstairs for the reception, set up as you would expect a traditional wedding, except Battery Gardens also has balconies that overlook the Statue of Liberty and into actual gardens of Battery Park. Our guests are raving about the food, which included Chilean Sea Bass and Filet Mignon.There were many things that came up along the way that we said \"we need to ask Alex!\" thinking things might not work or he wouldn't like them, but each time I reached out to Alex he responded promptly ensuring for me that he could help deliver on our vision. He really made us feel that we were the most important couple he was working with, and this day was equally as important to him as it was to us.When he sent the final contract over, I was surprised to see in the \"comments\" section, notes from everything he and I had talked about over the months leading up to the wedding. All of these notes were conveyed to the wait staff at the reception. My dad told me he has never felt more important than Battery Gardens treated him on the wedding day.If you are looking for a New York City wedding, I can't imagine a better place to have it.

She was very detail oriented, quick to respond, and helped provide us with a lot of guidance along the way (including scheduling, vendors, food choices, decor, etc)! The tasting was amazing, we got to try so much of the menu, and felt very pampered. The day of the wedding the staff at Battery Gardens handled everything better than we could have ever imagined. We had our cocktail hour on the first floor of the venue in the indoor space as well as the outdoor patio, and the reception was on the second floor. The food is incredible, the space is such a unique NYC venue and overlooks the water with huge windows all around the perimeter of the room, and the staff executed everything without a hitch! The staff was very attentive, asking myself, my husband, and our families if we needed anything throughout the day, and gave great service to our guests! Our guests can't stop raving about how amazing the space was, how wonderful the food was, and how detail oriented the venue was. I honestly cannot recommend Battery Gardens enough for your wedding!

Battery Gardens was the most amazing venue for my wedding. From my first meeting with Donna to the last dance it was perfection. The space is gorgeous with views overlooking the water and the Statue of Liberty. I was lucky to have beautiful weather so our cocktail party was able to be outside and inside and during our dinner upstairs the outside terrace was a huge hit. Donna was extremely professional and knowledgable. She knew every question to ask, no detail was left unturned. Our tasting was amazing and anything we needed she took care of. She is very flexible with what we wanted yet also knew what works and doesn't work in the venue so we weren't \"right\" in all cases. I would highly recommend this space as well as working with her. The event itself was flawless. All the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and very good. We had some items we needed to ship directly there and they let us do that two days prior. We did a drop off of all of our \"stuff\" on the Friday before which was so helpful not to have to worry about it on Saturday. All in all, the guests had an amazing time and so did we.

Wow, what can we say?? We were blown away by this venue and the professionalism of the staff, namely, Michele Cavallero, the Senior Catering Manager. Our wedding was a dream wedding and everything went perfectly throughout the night. The venue was stunning with gorgeous views of the harbor and the statue of liberty and everything was executed perfectly in terms of setting up the upstairs room for the ceremony and then transitioning the space for the reception. Michele was the absolute best-- I don't think there's anybody out there that could have been more talented at their job than her. She was thorough, 100% responsive to every inquiry/concern /question that we had (and there were a lot!), super organized, and made me feel comfortable and at ease every step along the way. Michele remembered every detail of all the requests I had to make the day special. She took care of decorating the space beautifully, organizing every aspect of the ceremony and reception, and making the whole day and night flow seamlessly. Thank you, Michele!! We also met the owner of Battery Gardens, Paul, a few times. He has been in this business a long time, and started out doing events at the Plaza in New York, and it shows! Paul clearly cares about providing a phenomenal experience at his venue and making his guests happy. Thank you, Paul!! And did I mention the food? It's very hard to cook for large scale events of over 150 people and still make the food good. But Battery Gardens exceeded our expectations on that front. Our guests raved about how delicious the food was at cocktail hour and the reception. Book your wedding with Battery Gardens, you won't be disappointed!!

Still TalkingIt’s been almost a year and the family is still talking…surprisingly, about the spectacular rehearsal dinner that we held at the Battery Park Garden’s Restaurant in Battery Park, downtown NYC. The conversation will often start with a mention of the wedding but inevitably it shifts to “but that rehearsal dinner.” Battery Gardens restaurant was a referral by a friend and we made an appointment to meet with Merita. Hopefully, she is still their event planner because she made it all happen. Our son knew that we needed to accommodate a very large wedding party, family, as well as guests staying in the hotels which were within walking distance of the restaurant. He wanted the feel of a “meet and greet”—not too formal, so family and friends would get a chance to get acquainted before the wedding, but also a sit-down dinner that didn’t feel like a mini-wedding. It seemed like a tall order to find in NYC, but when he met us at the venue after work, the sun was setting over Lady Liberty on the last 70 degree day in November. His reaction told it all. He had his view from several directions. He had outdoor space downstairs and upstairs. He had his cocktail hour with open bar to kick off the informal meet and greet in a classy setting on the lower level, which then moved upstairs where the space was divided: Sit-down dinner looking out at the river, couches and high tables around the fireplace with electric votives. Merita took care of all the logistics. She depicted the image of all parts of our evening from the view, to the menu choices, to the elevator and space for the elderly and a high chair for the newest family member/flower girl, to the sound system with projector screen and an informal dessert/coffee station by the fireplace so that guests could leave their seats and continue to mingle at the upstairs bar during dinner speeches and all throughout dessert. She made herself available for every question and concern. Our son was playing the odds that possibly one of his important days would have good weather, but defying all the terrible weather predictions, that night and the wedding day allowed Lady Liberty to be the second star of the bride and groom’s special weekend. With a wedding in early June, the flowers and gardens were in bloom as Merita Baldemic had promised, the food was incredible and the family is still talking.

Perfect venue for a waterfront fall wedding (tri-state area)We had the following criteria for our wedding venue:-Tri-state area (easily reachable by car and public transportation)-Waterfront with city skyline views if at all possible-Great food + drinkWe live in Jersey City and had always planned on Battello which was blocks away from our apartment but when it closed down, we had to decide between Battery Gardens and Liberty House.In the end, Battery Gardens won because it had received better reviews of its food and service. And boy am I glad we chose Battery Gardens. It met and exceeded every one of our requirements and expectations!First thing's, first - Michele Cavellero is the crowned jewel of Battery Gardens!!! She is a bonified pro and saint in our eyes. I will forever consider her part of my bridal party. She is so patient, helpful, and soothing to be around. She's the perfect combination of everything you'd want and need to enjoy and relax on your wedding day. From going out to find our aunt who got lost and couldn't find the venue the day of the rehearsal, to immediately pulling out a safety pin to fix my bustle when my husband accidentally stepped on and broke it, to completely taking care of one of our guests who had a little too much fun with the open bar so we never even found out about it. Not to mention all the questions shes answered and advice she gave throughout the planning process when our brains were too fried to make any more decisions. Michelle did it ALL and did it SO WELL.Everyone was raving about the excellent food. There was always a ton of it and it was all high quality. All of our vendors (photogs, flowers, DJ, etc.) worked really well with Michele and had worked at BG many times before so everything felt seamless. All of our guests enjoyed the scenery and had plenty of photo ops in the park and on the balcony. We had our ceremony in the courtyard as the sun was setting in front of the beautiful tree and the pictures are just gorgeous.The maitre'd is also amazing and makes sure things move smoothly throughout the night. An absolute dream! I'm sure he also was a very big reason why never even knew about any hiccups that occurred throughout the night.If I had to do it all over again. I would absolutely choose Battery Gardens over and over again.

Perfect venue for a waterfront fall wedding (tri-state area)We had the following criteria for our wedding venue:-Tri-state area (easily reachable by car and public transportation)-Waterfront with city skyline views if at all possible-Great food + drinkWe live in Jersey City and had always planned on Battello which was blocks away from our apartment but when it closed down, we had to decide between Battery Gardens and Liberty House.In the end, Battery Gardens won because it had received better reviews of its food and service. And boy am I glad we chose Battery Gardens. It met and exceeded every one of our requirements and expectations!First thing's, first - Michele Cavellero is the crowned jewel of Battery Gardens!!! She is a bonified pro and saint in our eyes. I will forever consider her part of my bridal party. She is so patient, helpful, and soothing to be around. She's the perfect combination of everything you'd want and need to enjoy and relax on your wedding day. From going out to find our aunt who got lost and couldn't find the venue the day of the rehearsal, to immediately pulling out a safety pin to fix my bustle when my husband accidentally stepped on and broke it, to completely taking care of one of our guests who had a little too much fun with the open bar so we never even found out about it. Not to mention all the questions shes answered and advice she gave throughout the planning process when our brains were too fried to make any more decisions. Michelle did it ALL and did it SO WELL.Everyone was raving about the excellent food. There was always a ton of it and it was all high quality. All of our vendors (photogs, flowers, DJ, etc.) worked really well with Michele and had worked at BG many times before so everything felt seamless.

It was an absolute DREAM to work with Donna and her staff at Battery Gardens from start to finish. During the planning process she was extremely helpful with suggestions but also open to our ideas and came up with creative solutions to make them a reality. She truly went above and beyond - from little things like writing a specific brand of vodka into the contract for my mom or making a different salad for the groom to letting our guests into the cocktail hour practically an hour early due to the driving rain outside. We got married on New Year's Eve and the timeline she developed and executed was impeccable. I didn't feel rushed for a single second and everyone had a glass of champagne in hand for midnight without a scramble. Also the food was incredible. Passed items at cocktail hour were plentiful and delicious and the stations never ran empty. The most impressive part, however, was the fact that the entrees (filet mignon & sea bass) arrived at the table piping hot and were cooked to perfection. Many guests sought us out to happily report that their meat arrived at the temperature they ordered it - not easy to do with over 100 guests and frankly not something you typically get at weddings, galas, etc. Also the vegan/vegetarian dinner option is an actual delicious dinner and not just the sides from the meat dishes plated as dinner. There are ton of options to pick from regarding menu and the amount and quality of the food is incredible. The rooms are tasteful and understated so your linens, decor, theme can really shine through. There's also outdoor space and terraces that we took advantage of even in the winter. Plus the view of the water and Statue of Liberty can't be beat. All in all, would absolutely recommend Donna and Battery Gardens to anyone looking to get married in Manhattan. Amazing service.

Battery Gardens is simply a stunning place to get married. We got married there in September, and it was an incredible experience from the first time we saw the venue all the way through after our big day. Our coordinator was Michele, and she was incredible throughout the entire process. She thought of every single little detail, was insanely organized, and was so pleasant every step of the way. We saw 15 venue in the tri-state area and Boston, and Battery Gardens was by far our favorite – and it was a HUGE value for the quality of service, food, views, bar, etc. that you get. Every single one of our guests were blown away by the experience, the food, and the service. We loved how our guests enjoyed so much of the outdoor / indoor experience it has to offer, and the spectacular views. There were curve balls thrown along the way, including a little unexpected rain during our ceremony, but Michele and the staff made adjustments on the fly – and attended to our every need. We felt very much at peace knowing that we had such great support from our wedding venue. We can’t thank the entire staff at Battery Gardens enough, they helped make our dream wedding a reality.

The perfect venue! We had our ceremony and reception at Battery Gardens on October 27th. Michele was our contact and made our day as magical as possible. She was detail oriented and accommodating from the beginning. She responded to all emails quickly and followed up with items before we could. On the day of the wedding she facilitated everything from the shuttles, the photos, dietary restrictions, band AND DJ and much more. Our entire wedding party knew her by name and praised her after the fact. We had a larger wedding, 185 people and fit perfectly in the space. The outdoor balconies are a wonderful option for overflow and of course pictures of the stunning views. It was the perfect evening. Thank you, Michele and team!

Battery Gardens gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams. We had a difficult time finding a venue within our price range that both of us really loved. We both knew we wanted something bright and unique without breaking the bank but we were having a lot of trouble finding something that fit the description. From the moment we stepped foot in Battery Gardens, I knew that this was where I wanted to get married. Our venue manager, Alex, was kind, experienced, and incredibly professional. He was able to address any question or concern we had in a very timely manner. On our wedding day, Alex and Ed, the Maitre D, handled all of the details with the greatest of ease and planned out the entire evening, minute-by-minute, just so my husband and I wouldn't stress. We couldn't have had a wedding as beautiful as we did without the Battery Gardens team and I can't recommend them enough!

Everything from the food to the views to the staff was just incredible. I had a few other stressful aspects to my wedding but the venue and Donna honestly made up for all of that - she and the venue were perfect. All of our guests raved about the views & the food nonstop. For anyone thinking of doing an indoor ceremony during the colder months, I was pretty upset in the days leading up to the ceremony as the weather had gotten extremely cold and I was dreaming of having the ceremony out on the promenade in Battery Park. Well, we had it indoors and honestly I don't think it could have been any more beautiful. The sunset was shining through the floor to ceiling windows and it was just absolutely breathtaking. I wouldn't change a thing about my venue and Donna was icing on top of the cake :) thanks Donna!!!

After months of searching for a wedding venue, we found the most amazing place! We were slightly hesitant at the time because it almost seemed too good to be true - beautiful waterfront views, lovely inside, more than enough space for an outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc. for over a hundred guests, they had an opening about three months out (what we wanted), and it was super reasonably priced! Checked all the boxes, so what could be wrong? Nothing! It turned out to be everything we could have dreamed for and more!!Let me tell you about the 'more' part. We loved the venue like I said, the guests loved the food, the space, the outdoor balconies, beautiful views of the river, Lady Liberty, etc. We got many compliments on the food, everything was superb we heard from all. OK, back to the 'more' part. This is the part that none of the guests knew about it, but was so critical!This is a personal thank you to Michele at Battery Gardens, who we worked with from the very beginning. She is better than a wedding planner, she absolutely coordinated everything. Whether it was two months out or three days out, every time we saw her prior (tasting, day before, etc.) my confidence spiked that everything would go exactly as planned. She expertly guided us through step by step everything that we needed to take care of, everything that she was taking care of and all in between, like was it going to rain or not and contingencies being set. It's not easy dealing with parents who want a perfect wedding, and Michele handled herself with class the whole time, always made sure that we were on board and comfortable with any decisions. The day of the wedding she was super calm as timing needed to be adjusted, etc. But even then she was laser focused on making the day as beautiful as possible for us and all guests - we of course super appreciate that and can't thank her enough!! We highly recommend this venue and if at all possible, work with Michele!

I did the most exhaustive search of wedding venues - looking at venues in Massachusetts, Napa, Southern California, upstate New York and finally I decided I was going to look in Manhattan (where I live). When I came across Battery Gardens, it seemed perfect. My fiance at the time wanted to be married by the water, it was in the city, had a great view of the statue of liberty (which we felt would be nice for out of town guests) and the space looked ok in pictures. My mom and I checked it out and were blown away! We booked it immediately. We had the pleasure of working with Michele C. She was INCREDIBLE. She responded to all of my emails so quickly. She was so accomodating. All of my requests were met. She communicated with my vendors, so without hiring a wedding planner, I felt extremely comfortable and stress-free on my wedding day. The venue was absolutely beautiful. We had the best day, with a gorgeous sunset over lady liberty! Our guests were blown away. The space was perfect for our reception with 130 guests - we had room to go from table to table and room for almost everyone to be on the dance floor! I cannot say enough great things about Michele and this venue. With the price - it is a no brainer that you should have your wedding here!!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Battery Gardens!! Our wedding was so much better than we ever imagined thanks to all of their efforts. We worked with Alex initially, who was helpful, responsive, and sold us on the venue. We later worked with Michele in the months leading up to the wedding. Believe the hype: Michele is fantastic, responsive, friendly, and on top of everything!! She was truly a pleasure to work with and made planning SO much easier. Many of our other vendors also remarked on how easy it was to work with her. The space itself is gorgeous-- modern and by the water, which was exactly what we were looking for. Although the dance floor was a little bit on the small side for our guest count (~160) and large band, we still had ample room to dance the night away! We got incredibly lucky with the weather, so we had our ceremony outdoors in the park. Be aware, if you're married out there, you WILL have an audience. It was actually fun to have so many uninvited guests around to cheer after we kissed. :)Our guests said that not only was the space gorgeous (between the Statue of Liberty, the park, and the lights of the Financial District, you can't go wrong), but the food was also some of the best they've had in general, not just at weddings! All of the staff we encountered were extremely professional and helpful, and during the reception itself, We heard nothing but positive remarks from guests about the service.

The restaurant is beautiful with terrific views – an iconic New York spot. We were even able to see fireworks in the evening!! (my wedding was July 1). We loved having the cocktails on the lower level with outside garden patio access and then moving upstairs for the reception. The food was plentiful and the appetizers were a culinary highlight. The Maitre’d and staff were efficient with all services executed in a professional and timely manner. The one issue was given the temperature was in the high 90s that day, the room was not as cool as we would have liked it for dancing. Thanks to all at Battery Gardens!

We were not familiar with Battery Gardens prior to wedding planning, but knew we wanted a venue in Manhattan that could accommodate a group of 175 people and could host all of the day’s events in one location. We went to see it on a cold, grey, rainy day and despite that we fell in love with the venue. It’s situated right on the water with views of the Statue of Liberty which gives it that quintessential NY feel that we were seeking. It has the space to handle large groups, and their combination of indoor and outdoor space allows for maximum flexibility as far as planning the logistics of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. And not to be overlooked, their pricing was better than most places we looked at while providing a higher level of service. We knew this was the place for us and didn’t need to see any further venues after that. From there the real work began. Michele, the venue’s coordinator, could not have been more helpful throughout the process. She was so friendly, professional, and organized. She was always quick to return an email, text, or phone call. She made sure to address any questions or concerns as quickly as possible and her presence really helped put our mind at ease. The day of the event was complicated by the weather forecast but Michele worked with us right down to the wire to make sure we had contingency plans in place. She helped keep everything on time and coordinated with the various vendors to ensure things went smoothly. The rest of the staff, including Eddie (the maitre’d), were extremely flexible and accommodating and we were delighted with the level of service. Overall we could not be more pleased with our choice of Battery Gardens for our wedding.

Where I even begin? Battery Gardens is a truly perfect place. Situated right in Battery Park with views of the Statue of Liberty, it provides a full “New York”/urban experience, uniquely balanced with the natural beauty of Battery Park and the harbor. Donna was our catering manager and was a joy to work with. She was helpful, patient, responsive, and professional. From the moment I met Donna, I knew we were in good hands. Paul, the owner, is also wonderful — so welcoming, friendly, and an all around good guy. Now on to the day of. We were married on a Friday in May. Eddie was our maitre’D and ensured each part of the evening flowed perfectly. The entire staff (waiters and bartenders) were extremely professional. The food was outstanding. Multiple people told us the food was fantastic— not like “typical” wedding food. I can attest to that because the filet mignon I had was one of the best I’ve had— cooked perfectly. I didn’t get to enjoy much of the cocktail food, but I heard from many of our guests that they actually thought the cocktail hour was the reception because there was such an abundance of delicious food!My husband and I remarked multiple times throughout the evening that we could not believe this was really OUR wedding. That’s how amazing it was, and it was in large part due to the amazing people at Battery Gardens. Donna, Paul, Eddie, and team: thank you! Battery Gardens helped make our wedding day the best of our lives.

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding reception at the beautiful Battery Gardens. We could not have asked for a more sophisticated and elegant venue at a convenient location in NYC. We first met our catering sales manager, Donna Ahern, in the fall of 2016 when we were interested in the venue, and it became apparent within minutes of meeting Donna that we not only needed to host our wedding here, but that we needed Donna at our side. Donna has consistently been an absolute delight to work with, and someone who carries with her great experience, efficiency, organization, and professionalism balanced with a warm character and good sense of humor. My parents also felt at ease within minutes of meeting Donna and we continue to feel so fortunate that we had the luxury of trusting that we were at all times in good hands and well cared for. We felt incredibly well prepared for our wedding thanks to Donna and we, along with our parents, were able to enjoy the night without worrying about a thing. Our Maitre d', Eddie, who we met the evening of the wedding, was incredibly accommodating, experienced, courteous, and well prepared for his own responsibilities, and it was a joy to work with him. Donna, Eddie, and the rest of the staff made sure that our guests were well provided for, that the evening’s schedule was carried out seamlessly, and that we had everything we needed. My family and I believe that the wonderful staff, ambiance, and superior food make this an unforgettable venue for any event. Based on our guests’ reactions, clearly they similarly felt that this was a first-class wedding!

My daughter was married at Battery Gardens on May 5, 2018. It could not have been better. The space is beautiful and the food is great. The location was great for out of town guests who could stay within walking distance of the venue. But the best part was the amazing customer service provided, and the awesome Senior Catering Manager, Michele, who helped us plan everything and then managed every on the big day. She identified all of the people with dietary needs and made sure they had what they wanted. She found the elderly family members and made sure they had what they wanted. And she collected an unwell family member from the ladies room, made sure she was OK, and discretely led her to a private place to lie down. She treated us like family, and truly became a member of ours for the day. I cannot say enough nice things about her. She made it possible for me to focus on the day, my daughter, and the joy of being together for a special occasion. I strongly recommend the venue, and Michele.

Battery Gardens and their team were absolutely AMAZING!!! It by far exceeded our expectations on every level. First, the venue itself is so beautiful. It's right on the water overlooking the statue of liberty. It's so peaceful and beautiful down there. And you can catch a great sunset. We were able to have our cocktail hour inside / outside in a private area which was amazing. Being in NYC and having outside space is a big plus. The inside is just as nice. Floor to ceiling windows, hardwood floors etc. Second, the staff is the best! Michelle was phenomenal. She was so quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had and was super organized. She was so sweet and helpful as well as flexible and accommodating. She really did everything to make our day feel so special and we knew we could trust her with every detail. Also Eddie, the maitre'd, was so great the night of the wedding. He was there to make sure everything ran smooth. Third the food and bar were amazing. Everyone complimented how tasty the food was, specifically to say it was the best wedding food they've had. And the bar was full open bar, we even got to make 2 speciality cocktails. We are so beyond thrilled with the way our wedding day went and are so glad we went with Battery Gardens. It was seriously the best day, and you could not go wrong choosing this as your venue!

Just had our wedding here in January and it was beautiful! Our coordinator, Merita, was absolutely wonderful and such a pleasure to deal with. She was always very quick to respond to my emails and never made us feel like a bother! She was the best! The food was delicious and the ambiance was just perfect - you cannot beat the view!! Loved everything about it. Would highly recommend for weddings! =)I think my only issue was that I learned after the wedding, one of the guest's table had 2 extra chairs and dinner/silverware settings there the entire night. It was my friend's table and I was surprised that this went unnoticed the entire night by the Maitre D (who was also a pleasure) or the wait staff who took dinner orders. I certainly didn't notice as I was too busy dancing =) But it did bother me after the fact that 2 rogue chairs were there all night as it separated the couples from being able to talk while sitting and it looked like 2 people didn't show up (since my friends asked if that was the case). I double checked that this wasn't my mistake - it wasn't. This should have been realized by the staff at some point. -Minor issue obviously as the wedding was just spectacular.

Our guests from New York (but especially from out of town) still can't stop talking about how beautiful and perfect our venue was—and how delicious the food was! We shopped around and weren't sure a Manhattan venue was in our budget, but catering manager Michele helped us find something reasonable. My husband's brother had his bar mitzvah party here and his family told us it was the most fun party (next to our wedding, of course!). The outdoor ceremony option was perfect, the contract and correspondence clear, and the catering manager and maitre d' service was out of this world (so nice having a restaurant without having to hire a separate catering service!). Michele listened to my overzealous concerns about disaster preparedness, acted as a sort of wedding planner since we didn't have one and didn't know a lot about how to plan, answered an unwarranted number of emails, orchestrated the day of with a large wedding party perfectly, let us visit and gave us the tour of the venue three times before signing a contract (first just us, then with his family, then with my mom, then with my dad) which speaks volumes of her patience. And plenty of great vendors had worked with them before (they provided us with a list, but others also had positive experiences with them, including Butter Lane Cakes, Devine Photo Booth, Richard Flores Photography, and Floreal NYC (florist). We had our wedding 9/10/17 and the sunset was unreal. One of my favorite parts was that strangers watched our wedding and when we took photos in Battery Park they cheered us on from the ground as our friends cheered us on from the terrace in the restaurant.

We were married on May 13th at Battery Gardens and cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. From our first meeting with Michele Cavallero in June 2016 to the end of the evening my husband and I always felt taken care of. Michele was fabulous (really fabulous, I cannot say that enough!!) to work with from day 1, and was able to incorporate Indian dishes into our menu for my husband's family which we greatly appreciated. We had wanted to get married outside, but the pouring rain that day prevented us from doing so, and the indoor ceremony was was more cozy and intimate that I could have imagined, with the beautiful views of the harbor and Statue of Liberty. Our guests cannot stop raving about the food (I still dream about the sea bass), service, and experience. The staff was wonderful (my champagne glass never went empty!), and our Maitre D' Eddie (the best!) kept everything running smoothly throughout the night. I'd love to attend a wedding here as a guest to fully experience everything. If you're on the fence about whether or not to have a wedding or event here have no fear, you are in GREAT hands.

We had our wedding here on Aug. 4, 2017 and it was a dream come true. Our wedding planner was Michele who was super efficient on getting back to us and flexible with helping us choose our food menu, drinks and time schedule. She is super sweet and easy to work with. The venue is unparalleled! The views are exceptional and the place itself is gorgeous. The food is top notch even for over 150 people and the staff was so professional and courteous. Everything completely surpassed our expectations in every possible way. If you are looking for an iconic NYC wedding at a great value this is your place!!! Highly highly recommend.

Save yourself a tour. Alex, the coordinator, was beyond rude. I showed up 45 minutes early and said I'd sit at the bar and enjoy a drink. He called down and said that if I showed up to a doctor that early they wouldn't see me. Are you kidding me? When my fiancé made the appointment, he was rude, but I was really interested in the space (which is an eh restaurant and bar with amazing views) - I work down the street. So I wanted to check it out as a venue space. I left before the full tour. I would never work with someone so rude. Alex, if you read this, work on your bedside manner since you consider yourself as important as a doctor.

My daughter was married this past weekend and had her reception at the extraordinary Battery Gardens. We were beyond thrilled with the spectacular location right on the Hudson with breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty and NJ skyline at night. Guests remarked on the fabulous and plentiful menu and unbelievably responsive service of the catering staff. (Thank you Eddie). Most notably was the amazing Michele Cavallero, senior catering manager, who saw to every detail impeccably and calmly.

She helped us fit everything into our budget and helped to plan every detail along the way - overall she made the process seamless. The venue is gorgeous and the food turned out to be fantastic. I couldn't recommend this location more for a dream wedding in downtown NYC. You won't find better views anywhere.

We got married at Battery Gardens a week ago and it could not have been more wonderful. We booked Battery Gardens as both our ceremony and reception site and everything was perfect. The upstairs was beautiful for the ceremony, making 130 people feel really intimate. Then cocktail hour was downstairs - drinks were flowing and the abundant food was absolutely delicious. The reception was upstairs and the space was perfectly laid out with a dance floor, lounge area, and working fireplace (SO pretty for the winter). The staff worked with our DJ to make sure the evening flowed and each course was served at the right time (and was served quickly - all of the food was both delicious and hot!). While the views were amazing and the space was incredibly functional, the best part of Battery Gardens was the staff. Alex, our coordinator, and Eddie, our matre'd, were exceptional. They made the evening flow perfectly and were always there when we needed them but never felt imposing. I would highly recommend Battery Gardens for someone looking to have a worry-free New York City wedding. As someone who looked at nearly every NYC venue I could find, I am extremely happy with our choice and would choose it again if I had it to do over.

I usually never write reviews (I actually think this may be first my one haha), but words cannot express how amazing Battery Gardens is. I was originally planning to have my wedding in Boston (where I am from), but the minute I walked into Battery Gardens I knew I had to having my wedding there. I cannot imagine having had my wedding anywhere else. Everything from the views to the food to the service to the price is just exceptional. I could not believe the price we got for our October wedding in NYC. Apparently the price was an even better since we booked the date less than a year in advance (10 months in advance). Even if the weather is not ideal (our day was a little drizzly and overcast) the views will not disappoint. EVERYONE was commenting on how beautiful it was. Michele Cavallero, our catering manager, was absolutely amazing. She really knows what she is doing and does her job well! She had such amazing suggestions and always made sure to help me stay within my budget. The open bar was just amazing, Michele even made sure to add Jameson into the mix even though it is not usually included on their menu. My husband wanted to make sure we had a venue where shots were allowed and they had no problem with this at all! The servers were just exceptional. Our maitre d Eddie was also fabulous. The filet was honestly one of the best pieces of meat I have ever had in my life and the Chilean Sea bass was one of the best pieces of fish I have ever had in my life (non-seafood eaters even commented on how good it was!) Also - definitely use Battery Garden's florist Javier Demera (owner of Jolie events). He went above and beyond my expectations for my bouquets. The place look absolutely gorgeous with our lantern centerpieces and he helped me to stay within my budget. A ton of my friends were taking pictures and commenting on how gorgeous the room looked all lit up. Just have your wedding at Battery Gardens, you will not regret it!!!

We had a lovely daytime wedding on September 25, 2016 at Battery Gardens, with an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception in their harbor view room. Battery Gardens is the most ideal venue a bride can ask for. Especially for our situation, many of our guests are coming from out of town or even oversea, so it is so great to have a venue with the view of statue of liberty! The staff are so great. Our catering manager was Anna. And our Maître D' for the day was Eddie. Both of them are very professional. Anna worked with us patiently through out our wedding planning process. She accommodated all of our requests and some last minute guest count change. On our wedding day, Anna led us through every single step, calmed us down and created a perfectly smooth timeline. Eddie and his crew helped us pack everything up after the wedding, which was a life saver! Iced water with lemons was served to our guests while they were waiting for the ceremony to start. The food was great. The open bar was awesome. They even put food in the Bridal Suite because obviously I did not have time to eat during the reception. We couldn't ask for more! Thank you, Battery Gardens, so much, for a perfect wedding day!

My husband and I looked at many venues to find the perfect place for our wedding. I used to pass by Battery Gardens when I lived in FiDi and thought how wonderful it would be to have my wedding there, but figured it would be way out of my price range. My husband convinced me to set up a meeting there and after our meeting with Michele Cavellero, Senior Catering Manager, we were convinced this was the place. We had already seen raving reviews about Michele so we were sure that we wanted her to manage our wedding. This was the best decision we made. Every single guest told us how amazing our venue and food was. The venue is simple but elegant. With the right timing, you can have the sunset as your backdrop during your ceremony. The food during both cocktail hour and dinner was excellent. Everyone in our bridal party told us how organized and helpful Michele was. She and our maître d’, Eddy, made our entire evening run so smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing throughout the entire process and wedding day.

We had a beyond fantastic experience with Battery Gardens and Senior Catering Manager, Michele Cavallero in planning our wedding on July 1. Guests have not stopped raving about how good the food was, how gorgeous the venue was, and how stunning the views were! (Lady Liberty and the Hudson on one side, the urban financial district and 1 World Trade on the other)! We loved the ability to be both indoors and outdoors. Cocktail hour was both indoors and outdoors on a fabulous patio with food and drinks easily accessible (and plentiful). During the reception, guests could take advantage of the two large balconies upstairs to take in the spectacular views outdoors.Throughout 10 months of planning, Michele was informative, responsive and flexible to all of our questions and requests. We did not have a professional planner so Michele's insights were invaluable; Responses to most requests were met with a \"no problem\" or \"I'll take care of it\". For example, Michele let us switch out the standard package beer with craft beer from the venue's beer garden.Michele worked with us on event timing from when the party first arrived through to midnight. She and her A team including Maitre'D, Eddie were instrumental in setting up our non-florist stuff (placecards, deco etc) and made sure everything went according to plan, and directing the wedding party and guests. One of the A team went above and beyond, and ran out into the street to hail and bring a cab into the venue to pickup my dad close to the entrance (dad had hurt his knee and had trouble walking).Lastly, use the house florist, Javier Demera, owner of Jolie Events - his work is stunning and I cannot say enough good things! Despite my small budget, Javier was willing to work with me on the look using his far superior knowledge of the space, letting me know what I could and could not have based on what I wanted and my budget. Truly, the results of Javier's work was just beyond gorgeous.

As the days, weeks and Months went by, I kept constant communication with Michele, who was always attentive, quick responding and very helpful with anything and everything I needed.

Eddie was so involved with making sure that all of the small details were executed in accordance with the program planned for the evening. He gave me special attention, going over every little detail, which gave me reassurance that I had nothing to worry about. He had it all under control. Eddie and Michele made everything flow so perfectly, from the beginning to the end. We had the time of our lives! The night was truly better than we could have ever imagined! \r\rDays following the wedding, my husband and I received text messages and phone calls from our guests, raving about the staff. The white Glove service provided, was exceptional! Every guest was given special attention for all of their individual needs, never having an empty glass on the table and was well attended to. Everyone raved about how amazing the entire night was, and that is because of everyone at Battery Gardens! We also have not stopped hearing about how amazing the food was! \r\rThe cocktail hour was delicious! The carving station was absolutely amazing, and was a huge hit of the night! Prime Rib and Short ribs had to be the most succulent beef, I have ever tasted. The Paella Station was so flavorful, and full of delicious seafood and chicken. The Seafood Station was absolutely amazing. The lamb chops were so tender and full of flavor. All of the appetizers served during the cocktail hour, could not have been more delicious!

He gave me special attention, going over every little detail, which gave me reassurance that I had nothing to worry about. He had it all under control. Eddie and Michele made everything flow so perfectly, from the beginning to the end. We had the time of our lives! The night was truly better than we could have ever imagined! \r\rDays following the wedding, my husband and I received text messages and phone calls from our guests, raving about the staff. The white Glove service provided, was exceptional! Every guest was given special attention for all of their individual needs, never having an empty glass on the table and was well attended to. Everyone raved about how amazing the entire night was, and that is because of everyone at Battery Gardens! We also have not stopped hearing about how amazing the food was! \r\rThe cocktail hour was delicious! The carving station was absolutely amazing, and was a huge hit of the night! Prime Rib and Short ribs had to be the most succulent beef, I have ever tasted. The Paella Station was so flavorful, and full of delicious seafood and chicken. The Seafood Station was absolutely amazing. The lamb chops were so tender and full of flavor. All of the appetizers served during the cocktail hour, could not have been more delicious! The Dinner served during the reception was just as delicious! Everything served, went far beyond our expectations. We felt extremely Blessed to be able to share such a beautiful night with our family and friends! Our wedding was absolutely Perfect! Thank You all at Battery Gardens!

My husband and I worked with Alex in the year leading up to our wedding this past September and we couldn't ask for someone more professional, knowledgeable, and patient to help us plan our big day. We worked with him and his chefs to tailor a menu to reflect my Latino culture and my husband's Indian culture. We appreciated the creative, authentic, and delicious food and so did our guests. \rHe and his team, especially Eddie were outstanding especially on the day of in making sure all went smoothly. We had an unforgettable time and look forward to returning to the restaurant to celebrate anniversaries! Thank you Alex and Eddie.

AMAZING SPACE!! You can't ask for a better venue to get married and celebrate with family/friends on your big day in NYC. Michelle and Eddie of BG were excellent; coordinated throughout the whole planning process and on-top of the day-of scheduling. You won't even need a day-of planner because Michelle will make sure everything at BG runs smoothly. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and cocktail hour. The venue has sweeping views of the harbor, Statue of Liberty, and Battery Park.

We had our October 2015 wedding at Battery Gardens and it was amazing. We had picked the venue well over a year in advance and originally worked with Adam and then transitioned to Michele. Both were very professional and helpful. The venue is beautiful and we got so many compliments on the food. Our day of, Maitre'd, ensured that we had food hidden away during the cocktail hour so we actually got to enjoy some of it ourselves!\rMy only disclaimer is that we picked the venue for it's outdoor space and unfortunately our wedding was on a very cold, dreary and windy day. Though the venue was easily able to accommodate an indoor ceremony (which was lovely), it was incredibly challenging to take pictures at the venue (originally planned to be taken outdoors) during set-up. It's something I wish I had thought of a \"plan b\" for beforehand because we wound up having to take them where the ceremony was being set up, while guests were arriving and it was complete chaos. Other than that the night was fantastic!!

Battery Gardens was so amazing for our wedding in March 2015. Alex made everything so easy. He had answers to every question, was incredibly patient, and planned the night so everything was seamless. My husband and I truly felt like we got to enjoy every moment of the day and night, and we have Alex and Battery Gardens to thank for it. The venue is stunning, and the food is delicious. It's NYC's hidden secret for amazing weddings that don't have to break the budget. Thank you!
