From the reviews
My husband and I got married at Giando's in March. We have nothing but good things to say about our entire experience! From our initial phone call with Joe we knew Giando's was the place we wanted to have our wedding celebration. Joe and the entire staff made the entire wedding planning process seamless.
There are not enough words to express how blown away and grateful we are for Giando on the Water - the gem of all wedding venues in New York City, hidden and somewhat under the radar, this venue is bold and refined and we're so glad we found it by simply walking in Domino Park in July of 2024.
We had a beautiful fall wedding at Giando on the Water! From the beginning, Joe and his staff were attentive and communicative in helping us plan our big day. Liz and her team did an incredible job prepping the space for us and our vendors ahead of our arrival.
Just got married at Giando at the beginning of November and are STILL on cloud 9 from what a perfect experience it was. Would give 10 stars if I could! From the second we started working together with Giando, we felt confident and secure. Joe made us feel right at home and at ease every step of the way.
Getting married at Giando on the Water
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
