6 Things To Know Before Planning A New York Public Library Wedding.
If you're familiar with the New York wedding scene, you know The New York Public Library as one of the most iconic and luxurious wedding venues in NYC. Planning your wedding day here requires careful planning and coordination with top-tier wedding vendors. Here are a few essential tips to consider before you commit to this stunning venue in the heart of New York.
Minimum Budget
A minimum budget recommendation at The New York Public Library is $600,000 for 150+ guests.
The Aesthetic
If you are looking for that classic, elegant, “New York City” look for your wedding day, this venue is for you. Don’t forget this is where the Carrie Bradshaw chose to get almost married!
Top-Tier Vendors
To utilize this venue to its fullest potential, you should plan to use top-tier vendors with experience in planning & executing at luxury venues. This will increase your budget, but will be worth it in the end.
The Season
Though this wedding is gorgeous any time of year, we recommend the fall or winter months. Astor Hall does not have air conditioning, so a summer wedding may not be as comfortable for your guests.
Iconic Design
Want to make an iconic impact? Don’t skip the candles on the steps. It is quintessential NYPL design and makes for the best photo ops.
The Time
When you book, you get NYPL for 5 hours. Pay to add an extra hour! You won’t regret it.
