Chelsea Piers Sunset Terrace

This would be a pretty sweet spot for small weddings on a summers day. It has an opening by the water. At first. Don’t let the ice skating ring fool you. They have a little spot on the side for such an event. I would recommend you to find your own chef. The chef that was hired for that wedding wasn’t worth it. Drop a star for no parking in this area. Would have to hit the lots.

Had my college senior prom (did anyone else have this? I feel like no one else did) here, and it was great views on the water. A lot of space too, for our large class. Very difficult to get to if you’re not driving. Taxi is awful in traffic and the subway and/​or bus will not take you this far north, so get a car service early (not day of, like us) and you should be fine.

I just had my wedding here on 6÷8÷13 and could not have been happier with my choice of venue. I first heard about Sunset Terrace from New York Magazine’s website, which listed it as a recommended affordable venue in NYC. It ended up being a great choice especially for my husband and me, as we are a young couple and not loaded with money.
The whole thing was perfect we were extremely pleased. Sherwin was a true pleasure to work with — he is so personable and willing to do whatever you need. To give a specific example: he took care of setting up everything for me. He was willing to store stuff for me the day before — and he was very flexible with all my needs: from flowers, to vendors, to drinks, etc. He was very responsive to all my emails. We didn’t really need to start talking much until a few weeks before the actual date, but throughout the months, he stayed in touch and even sent us a Christmas card!
His team is awesome — I even got to know one of his wait staff, Frankie — really fun guy. The «Southern Gentleman» is delish!
The food was great — I thought so personally and we received many compliements from our guests as well. On the day of, Sherwin seriously made sure every guest was attended to — I heard this from my friends! He made sure my husband and I got to eat (which is rare for most couples on their wedding day!).
The venue itself is beautiful too. We were blessed with the perfect weather and got to have all the garage doors open. My husband and I danced on the terrace! The sunset was beautiful, the cool breeze was great — I am just so so happy we picked this place!

I was invited to an awards dinner and immediately RSVPed once I saw it was held here. So glad I did.
The space is gorgeous. It overlooks the water and the view is amazing during sunset.
There was open bar and I took full advantage. Whiskey on the rocks please!
The food was good. I think. Probably. Can’t remember. Open bar, remember?
Only complaints are that (1) it’s on the WSH and is horrible when trying to catch a cab and (2) though it was open bar, there weren’t many choices.

Nice place to go on summer time and get some tanning. Beautiful view!

We just had our wedding there, I learned about this venue years ago from another event, Matthew was a great help throughout the wedding, before and after, the catering company they used was nothing but excellent (Ask for Diane).
Just make sure you pick a sunny clear skies date and you should be in perfect viewing spot around the sunset time.
Worth saying, that they let me use their high speed internet to stream my wedding live, here are our wedding videos from there:
and also let me stream all the tweets and hashtags, I’m even thinking to offer my services with them on a daily basis so every newly weds or live events can be streamed live and utilize social media the way it should be. Enjoy your events :-)

I cannot even put into words how amazing this venue is and the people that work there. I have sincerely made contacts for life.
Let me start by saying we are a lesbian couple that got engaged and were planning our wedding months before it became legal in NYC. It was very important to us to find a venue that still held us to upmost importance, even though it was not legal on that day in NY. We had many venues and vendors that gave us a hard time, it was really disturbing. Not Sunset Terrace. in fact we were not the first gay couple to get married there!
I wanted a space that was classic, amazing views, unique, and was able to incorporate our edgy style. The overall concept of the wedding was black and white city chic with and edgy twist. and Sunset Terrace certainly helped me create that look.
The caterer custom made our menu for us… down to the «make your own taco bar» and our fun-​filled dessert bar with HUNDREDS of goodies all mini sized! We had also come up with an awesome design of feathers on half the reception tables and lamps on the other. Me being the make it happen bride and control freak I am, I went out and rented the lamps myself. To my nightmare the night before the wedding they were not standing properly, In walks the other love on my wedding day. Sherwin Johnson the wedding planner!!! Him and his staff fixed everything, I never even thought about was who was going to set up my elaborate LARGE SCALE designs on my wedding day. Well Sherwin to the rescue again, he not only set everything up to my exact diagram, he brought in extra staff, and catered to us hand and foot.
The price at Chelsea Piers is what also attracted us. Because we wanted that designer wedding without the tag, we thought it would never happen. Well let me tell you they were amazing, and our budget was right where we wanted it!
SUNSET TERRACE — I love all of you and Brit and I could never in the world thank you enough for everything you did for us. People are still talking about our big day!

This is a beautiful place, overlooking a huge body of water and boats and ferries. Too bad the open bar wasn’t good. The DJs wouldn’t play any of our requests. They skipped over the hip hop and kept stopping the good songs. The food was okay. I really liked the meatballs, but my friends later on told me they weren’t real beef. It wasn’t worth $ 75. Maybe like $ 40.
