From the reviews

My husband and I held our wedding reception at Ravel on January 19th 2025. After our first Venue visit with Eman, I knew we had found the perfect place. The penthouse was exactly the vibe I was looking for, the perfect space for my cozy chic winter wedding.

We just got married at the Ravel Hotel last Sunday and I am still not over it. I have been looking at pictures and videos obsessively for over a week now. I can not wait for the professional photos. It was truly my dream wedding. The most gorgeous and unique venue overlooking the bridge and the NYC skyline.

★★★★★ — Toni, Apr 2024

Our wedding day was a dream come true!!! I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful venue and even more wonderful staff to bring it all to life. We wanted the Manhattan skyline to be our backdrop, as it's so much more than a wonderful view - it's our home. The final product far exceeded our wildest dreams.

★★★★★ — Alexis, Aug 2024

We planned our wedding in under 5 months and was looking for a venue that had everything we were looking for (modern, great food, not a typical catering hall, exceptional professionalism) and we really got all of that at Ravel! Chelsey and Eman were so easy to work with. They were so helpful and on top of everything.

Getting married at Ravel Events

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.
