    Hidden gem of a venue!

    When choosing a February in NY for our wedding weekend, we knew we wanted to incorporate the outdoors somehow, which meant we needed a great view with floor to ceiling windows. We wanted a minimalist vibe, with a room that spoke for itself and didn't need much to make it perfect. Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers was exactly that. The exposed piping with twinkle lights, the wooden floors, the garage door windows, and most of all, the gorgeous view along the Hudson. Sunset Terrace even delivered on the sunset, which made our ceremony all the more beautiful. While it was too cold to open the garage doors, our guests enjoyed spending time outside taking pictures on the wrap around terrace. The vibe was perfect.

    Throughout the planning process, Sherwin Johnson and Jamie Wohl were rockstars. They were quick to answer all questions, offered feedback and suggestions, and understood all that we were looking for. Our wedding ended up being on the higher end guest wise of what the venue can accommodate, yet Sherwin worked with us to make sure that all of our guests would be comfortable. We were worried that the cocktail hour would feel crowded, or that our guests would have to wait too long for food or drinks, but none of those fears came true. Everything was perfect and a week later, our guests are still raving about the space, the views, the food, etc. Thank you to Sherwin, Jamie, and the whole Sunset Terrace team for making our winter in NYC wedding exactly what we had hoped for.

    The NYC venue of my dreams

    Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers is truly a hidden gem. It had exactly what I was looking for in a venue: a cooler 'edgy' NYC feel, water views with outdoor access, an 'industrial' type space that didn't feel like a traditional ballroom but was also elegant enough to feel special.

    Now let's talk about the value - the fact that the price of the venue includes Sherwin Johnson as your wedding coordinator is worth every penny. As a marketing and events professional myself, I was on the fence about spending on a wedding planner/ day-of coordinator and Sherwin reassured me that that would not be necessary. He was right. The white glove service I received from Sherwin and his team not only on the day of my wedding but in the months leading up to the date was invaluable. I felt confident in choosing this venue from the moment I met him at our first site visit. He answered every email, call and question right away and truly helped make the planning process less stressful from start to finish. I cannot say enough good things about Sherwin. He is professional, creative, thorough and will listen to all of your requests without making you feel judged, crazy or annoying. He is every brides DREAM coordinator. Trust me.

    The food: Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. We opted for a non-traditional sit down dinner for our wedding and wanted more of a cocktail party vibe, and Creative Concepts delivered, and then some. They were able to work with us on some out-of-the-box options and enhancements like oyster shuckers and a live sushi bar who stayed on site for an extended period of time. The food was truly delicious and the presentation was immaculate.

    I could go and on with this review and still could not find enough positive things to say about holding my wedding at the Sunset Terrace. If you are looking for an NYC venue that will leave your guests talking about how amazing your wedding was - book this place! Do not let the ice skating rink adjacency prevent you from holding your wedding here - It only adds to the magic.

    Best day ever!!

    If you’re looking for an intimate city wedding that’s elevated and gorgeous without breaking the bank, Sunset Terrace is the perfect choice. My wife and I recently got married here and could not have asked for a better experience. Sherwin, the event coordinator, made us feel like family for the two years we spent planning our wedding and our guests felt so taken care of by his team from start to finish.

    When we first saw the venue, I’ll admit that I was a little concerned about the walk past the ice-skating rink. I was worried it wouldn’t seem elevated enough, but because Sunset Terrace met all our other requirements, I came around. On our wedding day, it was so clear from the feedback of our guests that they enjoyed the bit of character added by the walk past the Sky Rink and other things going on in the building. The comment we got most was – “It just felt very New York.” Our guests meant this positively. Sunset Terrace strikes a balance of being elevated and elegant without being “bougie” or taking itself too seriously (which can be tough to find in the city.)

    On top of that, you can’t go wrong, no matter what the weather has in store. The views at Sunset Terrace are stunning and with the indoor/outdoor option, it’s not possible for rain, fog, or clouds to ruin your day. We got to see the venue several times throughout the changing seasons, and it never stopped being gorgeous.

    Sherwin and his team were incredible. They made us feel so loved and welcome, especially as a queer couple. Sherwin always asked us how we wanted to do things, never making assumptions based on unconscious biases. He was warm and made us feel so cared for from start to finish on our wedding day. During our cocktail hour, he had plates of hors d’oeuvres made for us and hid us away from our guests just so we could quickly eat in peace. On the subject of food, our guests raved about it. We went with a buffet-style meal based on Sherwin’s recommendation, and it did not disappoint. We got way more bang for our buck and our guests got to enjoy several different options as opposed to one fixed plate. We also received so much positive feedback about the waitstaff and bartenders. Everyone said they were so kind, generous, and efficient.

    We cannot recommend Sunset Terrace enough and are SO thrilled with our choice to get married here!

    I would recommend this venue to EVERYONE. Lauren McCourt is so amazing! She answered each and every one of my emails, from big questions to very small ones. She did everything we asked and I wasn't nervous or stressed from the second we got there until the end of the night. The space was AMAZING. The lights at night twinkling over the river was just perfect. Everyone kept talking about it and how it was the fanciest wedding they have ever been to. We can't say enough about Lauren, she is so professional, efficient and quick to respond, I couldn't have done it all without her! I recommend Chelsea Piers Sunset Terrace to everyone wanting an amazing NYC wedding for an affordable price.

    Perfect Day

    There's plenty of venues to choose from in Manhattan but none compare to Sunset Terrace! We booked this venue back in 2019 but because of the pandemic we postponed our wedding. They were incredibly flexible with moving our date and accommodating anything we might need including accommodating food allergies. Not only does this venue offer stunning views and amazing food but the staff is incredibly kind and professional.  Every individual we've had the pleasure of working with at Sunset Terrace was so knowledgeable and helpful. They handled everything from seating, to linens, to food and drinks. This made wedding planning so much easier because we didn't have to hire many vendors. Day of coordination was amazing and kept us stress free. We were able to enjoy our day safely with our loved ones.
    If you are on the fence about choosing Sunset Terrace because of the ice rink nearby I can promise you that no one will even remember it once they pass through the doors. We had our wedding in December and all of our guests are still telling us how much fun they had, how beautiful everything was, and how much they loved the food! 
    If you're looking for stunning views,  prime location,  delicious food, professional and kind staff have your wedding at Sunset Terrace!

    Best Day Ever

    When my partner and I were initially looking for venues to get married, we knew it had to be in Manhattan since we are both natives to the borough. Aside from that we weren't really sure what we were looking for but when we saw Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers we knew we found a perfect match. The physical venue is hard to beat with stunning views of the Hudson River, plenty of getting ready room, onsite parking, and a huge ceremony/reception space. The space marries industrial vibes while remaining whimsical and romantic with the views. The staff we worked with were responsive, creative, and patient. Other venues we spoke with started with a list of don'ts-- no candles indoors, no live music, etc. At Chelsea Piers, they said, "tell us what you want and we'll do what we can to make it happen." They coordinated with our other vendors seamlessly. Our main priority was making sure our guests had a memorable time and two weeks later, we're still receiving glowing feedback about how much fun they had, how tasty and unique the food was, and how stunning everything looked. 11/10 would recommend this space for any wedding. Full disclosure if you do choose this as your venue: -The space is directly next to an ice hockey rink, so if you plan to get ready on site, bring layers! -Since it is an indoor NYC venue, they require all attendees to be fully vaccinated (woohoo!) -Prepare for the best day of your life!

    Made for a Perfect Wedding Day

    The Sunset Terrace team made our wedding day completely wonderful.

    They supported us during planning and kept the day running like clockwork. It is a perfect all in one service venue, no worrying about finding tons and tons of vendors for every little piece of the day, they've got it handled. And for the few vendors you will need to find (photographer, DJ, florist) they've got recommendations!

    As a former event planner knowing that Sherwin and his team had everything so well in hand made the day so so much better for me. Recommend this venue to anyone looking for an off beat NYC venue with a killer view.

    Beautiful location for a wedding

    Sunset Terrace has a great view of the Hudson River. Our guests enjoyed the veranda and open feel. Our guests raved about the food and drink. Sunset's bartenders were excellent. We provided them two recipes for signature drinks and they had no problem making them for us. They work seamlessly with their caterer Neuman's who was also excellent. Our contact Jennifer was available to meet with us a few times before the wedding for tours and planning meetings. She knows the space very well and has great ideas, but still helped us achieve our unique vision. We self-decorated the space and whole staff there was very accommodating and flexible in scheduling drop off and pick up of the materials. It was the perfect space for our wedding.

    The Perfect Wedding Venue

    unset Terrace was the perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. From the moment we walked in for our initial venue tour we were sold, and we never ceased to be amazed through the entire process. Jennifer, our event coordinator, was incredible. She responded quickly to emails, hopped on the phone, and was always available if we wanted to stop by the venue to discuss details. She coordinated the catering, the table linens, the floor plans, the bar (including signature cocktails), EVERYTHING. We were able to make this wedding our own, and we are so grateful for that. The venue itself is phenomenal. Three walls are pure windows with views of the Hudson, and the main wall of windows are garage doors that open up onto the deck. We were fortunate to have a beautiful spring day, and the windows stayed open the entire night! The name of the venue is very appropriate, because the sunset DELIVERED. We timed our first dance with the sunset, and it made the moment even more magical. Getting to the venue is a little weird because you have to walk around the ice skating rink, but it is absolutely worth it - you walk into an oasis and completely forget where you just were. I seriously cannot say enough good things about Sunset Terrace. Load-in and load-out of our supplies were seamless, the decorations we provided were placed tastefully and thoughtfully, the ceremony was flipped to the reception in record time, and everything was just perfect. And while it wasn't the least expensive option that we considered, it was still within our budget, and was worth every single penny. Highly recommend!

    We chose Sunset Terrace as the venue for our Saturday evening wedding in July, and I honestly do not have enough good things to say about the venue and incredible staff at Chelsea Piers. We had the pleasure of working with Sherwin, who really helped us in planning and executing the vision for our day. He offered us incredibly valuable advice based on his many years of expertise that helped us plan a terrific event. On the day of, our guests could not stop gushing about how much they loved the gorgeous views overlooking the Hudson. We also had a wonderful experience with the caterer, Neuman's Kitchen, who gave us A+ treatment from the time of our tasting to the day of. The staff executed the day perfectly and many of our guests said the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding! All in all, I could not recommend Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers enough!

    If you are considering a Wedding Cruise, look no further. This was a great value and these people make everything seem easy. They are so accommodating and professional - the best decision I made! Being that I was out of state, having an in-state coordinator was wonderful and Nicole was awesome.

    We worked with Jennifer Walsh at the Sunset Terrace and she was phenomenal. From start to finish (over the last year and a half), she provided quick, helpful responses over both email and phone and was super accommodating. We were constantly blown away and impressed. The Sunset Terrace itself is a beautiful and extremely affordable venue for the city and we were really grateful with how much they were able to provide for us with regard to decor, set-up/break-down, and catering. The food is from Neuman's Kitchen and it was unreal, as were the cocktails. They even made special changes just for us based on our requests. Jennifer is experienced with creating detailed itineraries for the day and knew what would "flow" best for the evening. She also provided us with helpful recommendations for other vendors to use and reassured us when we were hit with the unexpected (e.g., knowing which vendors tend to be more creative/less detail oriented but not to be worried about that). I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her and the venue in general.

    Sunset Terrace is a hidden gem! We just held our wedding reception there and had such a beautiful day. It exceeded our already high expectations. Where else can you have an event on the Hudson River that is fully covered but also allows for open-air and your guests to enjoy a terrace? It feels like such an escape in the middle of Manhattan.

    Beyond the beautiful ambiance, we couldn't have asked for better staff and customer service. Sherwin was so responsive and proactive and worked extremely well with all of our vendors. He was a great partner throughout the process and made himself available for walk-throughs and as questions arose. On the day of our wedding, the whole staff was professional and helped meet all of our guests' needs. We recommend Sunset Terrace without any reservation!

    We got married at Sunset Terrace in early June and it was PERFECT!!! Everyone loved the views, the warm breeze, and the sunset on the river. Our guests were super impressed and we had an amazing night.

    Sherwin goes above and beyond. He and the entire team there ensured that everything went completely smoothly. In the lead up to and the day of, Sherwin helped us ensure every detail was accounted for so we could thoroughly enjoy our big day! He even made sure we ate amidst all the activity! We can not recommend him and the Sunset Terrace highly enough!!!

    The Sunset Terrace is the perfect blend of beautiful, professional, and affordable. We are so, so grateful we found it and had our wedding there!

    I cannot sing my undying love for this venue loudly enough. The venue is absolutely stunning — we had a May wedding here and the balcony was open and perfect. Our guests absolutely loved the incredible view of the Hudson and the light breeze they got to enjoy in the terrace. Sunsets here truly are magnificent. What’s more, this is probably the most affordable/best value wedding venue in Manhattan. We were stunned by how reasonable the prices are here. We expect they are a little deflated because the entrance is not especially glamorous — you have to walk by the ice rink and its locker room to get here — but no one in our wedding seemed to mind and some of our guests thought it was pretty cool! But once you get inside the terrace, you literally cannot tell that there is an ice rink right next door. We had the absolute best experience working with Jennifer, the wedding coordinator at Chelsea Piers. Seriously, she is probably the best part about the venue. Not only did she seamlessly coordinate the setup of all of our vendors day-of, answer my incessant e-mails with detailed questions promptly and with a smile, but she also heroically tracked down the bakery I asked to provide cupcakes when half of the delivered cupcakes arrived overturned and completely ruined, single-handedly salvaging the cupcakes and securing new ones last-minute as replacement! She is terrifically reliable and I would not trust anyone else with my event. Last, Neuman’s Kitchen provides the catering and they are great. Several guests commented on how good the food was. It was so easy to set up a tasting and work with them without any of the hassle of coordinating an outside caterer. I have a few friends considering getting married in NYC and I have been trying to persuade all of them to use Sunset Terrace — I simply do not believe there is a better value in Manhattan!

    Wow! My husband and I and our family and friends were so impressed with the Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers. The venue is incredibly beautiful and Sherwin was always very quick to respond to emails/phone calls, and just very on top of everything leading up to the day and day of. We can't say enough wonderful things about the venue and working with Sherwin. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a buffet dinner for about 95 and it was perfect! We were married April 21, had the garage doors down for the ceremony as it was a little to chilly outside for that time, but it felt fantastic to have them open by the dance floor as the night went on! My husband played hockey for many years, and half of the guests were visiting from Sweden, so they thought it was so cool to walk by the hockey arena as you entered the venue space. You will not be disappointed in selecting this venue as your wedding venue - it was truly wonderful from the planning process all the way until the end of the night! Thank you Sherwin and the Chelsea Piers team! I had the wedding of my dreams!!!

    We had a great time on the cruise (it went by so fast!) - and there have been great reviews from our guests. My wife's family from Barbados can be brutally honest, so I know everyone loved the food since they have been raving about it. But the main part that I am sure kept everything "smooth sailing" event-wise was the presence of Bryan (event manager) and his work behind the scenes.
    While initially hesitant, we are glad we decided to push past our budget and go with this event, and we will certainly recommend your team to everyone.

    I cannot say enough good things about Sunset Terrace. We held our wedding here over Labor Day weekend and it could not have been more perfect. From the very beginning and throughout the planning process, Jennifer and Sherwin were so helpful in securing the space and we knew that our wedding was in expert hands. They were a dream to work with.

    The space at Sunset Terrace is gorgeous. Located in Chelsea right on the Hudson River, the indoor-outdoor set-up was perfect and allowed us to have a "sort-of" outdoor wedding without freaking out about the weather forecast. The gorgeous sunset and view from the terrace also made decorating the space that much easier.

    Last but absolutely not least, the service the night of the wedding was absolutely perfect. I cannot thank Sherwin of Sunset Terrace and the Neuman's Kitchen staff enough. My husband and I didn't have to think or worry about anything except each other and having fun. Our glasses were never empty, our guests were well taken care of, and the evening was executed just as we'd envisioned it. They were flexible in incorporating our vision of the evening; from the drag queen to the confetti drops...it was all perfect and we'll remember it for a lifetime!

    WOW!! My husband and I used Sunset Terrace for our wedding venue and we could not be happier! From the moment we met Sherwin we knew we wanted our wedding there.

    He was with us every step of the way and made it seamless from start to finish. He worked with my DJ who was also a major part of the wedding to make sure the timing of everything went smoothly.

    My husband and I never had an empty hand or a empty stomach which was great. We actually were able to enjoy the day and I can honestly say I was so relaxed knowing everything was left in Sherwin's hand... if anything went wrong I surely did not know about it.

    The view is to die for (my family is from overseas) so the setting on the Hudson river was perfect.

    I recommend Sherwin and his team 100%!

    The experience at Sunset Terrace was outstanding, from the initial tour of the venue to the very end of our wedding reception. The event manager Sherwin and coordinator Christine were attentive to our every need, and were even proactive in helping plan the wedding. My husband and I were actually a bit behind on wedding planning as the event approached, because we were both working and I was in grad school. Sherwin and Christine made sure we had every detail covered during the weeks leading up to our big day.

    My husband Huntly was particularly impressed in one conversation where Sherwin helped us save money in one decorations area by suggesting we focus on something else that would actually make the guest experience better. It's clear that the team at Chelsea Piers was not trying to "up-sell" on anything, and were truly focused on making sure we had a great day without any unnecessary frills.

    Sherwin and Christine were also great on the day of our wedding. From making sure all the transitions during the night went smoothly, to coordinating our wedding party, guests, and vendors between areas, and even the little details like keeping our drinks filled and plates full throughout the evening, it all made the wedding perfect. I couldn't recommend a better staff to have manage your wedding.

    In terms of the venue itself, it's a beautiful setting that makes for a very romantic evening. We got married on a Saturday evening in June, and the view of the sunset over the Hudson was so pretty, and gave us some super great photo opportunities! And for value, we found the pricing to be one of the most affordable in the city.

    I used this venue for the reception, it's a really beautiful venue, few mishaps the day of but all in all I can't complain about the price the staff or anything! I would definitely recommend this venue, thanks to Jennifer, Patricia and Frankie for really making my reception a huge hit and making sure my guests were well fed and always with a drink in their hands!

    This was the perfect venue for our wedding of 88 guests. The catering service they use, 'wichcraft was amazing. Our guests raved about the food. Christine and Sherwin our event planners handled all of our details and decorating instructions. Sherwin acted as a "day of coordinator" and made sure our day ran smoothly and that we were taken care of. This was a wonderful venue at a great price and they really take care of you.

    Sunset Terrace turned out to be the perfect place for our wedding: the view of the river was gorgeous and nature obliged us with a wonderful sunset during our reception. Jennifer Walsh helped with everything, including making sure that we did not start the ceremony before a key guest, who needed handicapped access, was able to arrive. The staff was responsive to our needs and professional.

    The catering by Witch Craft was excellent and the bar service, too. For Manhattan, the price was astonishingly reasonable and if you have out of town guests, it has a rare amenity: parking. And you'd never know once you get into the terraced room that there is a hockey rink behind it!
