“As a Wedding Planner finding a venue that is attentive, caring and really hones in on the needs of their couples is not easy to find.”
From the reviews
There are not enough words in the English language to describe how special the Pier Sixty Collection – particularly The Lighthouse at Pier 61 – was for our wedding. We could not recommend it any higher!
I love love love The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers . As a Wedding Planner finding a venue that is attentive, caring and really hones in on the needs of their couples is not easy to find. My couples love this venue. Within the last 2.
Hosted my daughter's wedding at The Lighthouse on Friday night. I have received literally dozens of emails, texts and calls from our guests all saying that the venue was spectacular, the food was outstanding, the service was top notch, and of course - the sunset view was fabulous.
My son and daughter in law got married at the lighthouse this past weekend. It was spectacular!! The food, the room, the view and most importantly every single person from the Lighthouse especially Marlon. Thank you so much!!!!
Getting married at The Lighthouse
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.
