As soon my husband and I toured the Ravel Hotel, the decision was easy. We knew immediately that this was where we wanted to get married. From the very beginning to the final momen...
ts of our wedding, the experience was absolutely flawless. I cannot say enough about our coordinator, Chelsey Dever, who truly went above and beyond in every possible way. Chelsey was incredibly accommodating and made every single detail spectacular and breathtaking. Throughout the entire planning process, we had countless phone calls and text messages, and she consistently responded within minutes, no matter the time or question. No request was too big or too small. Her level of dedication, responsiveness, and care is truly unmatched. Chelsey was by my side throughout the entire planning journey and even on the wedding day itself, working closely with my bridal attendant, Jadelyn. Together, they made sure everything ran seamlessly, from ensuring I had everything I needed, to helping me change into my second look, to making sure every moment unfolded perfectly. Chelsey even went above and beyond outside of the wedding day. She and her family worked tirelessly to help us with anything we needed, including visiting the Summer Club, helping us secure a cabana the day after our wedding at the Cityside Pumpkin Patch on the Ravel pool terrace, assisting my parents with hotel room arrangements during our tasting, and even personally picking up my wedding cake. Unprompted, Jadelyn captured beautiful photos / reels throughout the wedding, memories I will cherish forever. The level of coordination was incredible. Chelsey worked effortlessly with all of our vendors, including the DJ – Genesis events, who kept everyone on the dance floor all night, the florist – Fiore Designs, who were incredible at bringing my minimalist candlelit reception to life, the photo/video team – JAYLim, and hairstylist – Andria Tobey, who Chelsey personally connected me with about 2 weeks before the wedding! She ensured everyone was aligned and everything ran smoothly. Truly, there was not a single moment that went wrong. As for the venue itself, the views and backdrop of the Manhattan skyline are absolutely breathtaking and unlike any venue I have ever seen. One of my main priorities was avoiding a typical, outdated, carpeted ballroom, and the Ravel is anything but that. With the ability to utilize multiple distinct spaces throughout the venue for each part of the day, the setting alone makes the Ravel truly unforgettable. The food was unreal. Sushi was a must for my husband and me, and the sushi setup exceeded every expectation and absolutely amazing. We received endless compliments from our guests about how incredible the food was. Additionally, the convenience of being able to stay on-site for the entire wedding weekend was a huge plus and made the experience even more seamless and enjoyable. The entire vibe of the wedding was stunning, modern, elegant, chic, and elevated. It was the most perfect fall day. Our guests were completely wowed, and so many told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. If you are looking for a modern, elegant, breathtaking venue that is not your typical wedding hall, with amazing food and even better coordinators, choose the Ravel Hotel for your wedding. You will not be disappointed. Thank you dearly to Chelsey, Jadelyn, and the entire Ravel team for making our dreams come true and for making our wedding unforgettable and the best day of our lives!

The Ravel Hotel in Long Island City offers a stunning physical aesthetic, but it is the level of human service that truly sets it apart. While the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline...
is breathtaking, the dedicated team and their gold-standard service are what made our wedding the best day of our lives. The highest level of THANK YOU to Eman, Anna, Jadelyn, Joe and Julissa for their outstanding support and service from start to finish.
From our very first tour, the Ravel team treated us like partners rather than just another booking. The planning process can be overwhelming, but our coordinator, Eman, was a total lifesaver. I cannot stress enough how absolutely incredible Eman was throughout our 1.5 year journey to the altar. She was exceptionally responsive and acted as an expert guide throughout the entire journey, offering creative solutions for our layout and navigating vendor logistics with ease. Eman truly went above and beyond, whether by personally helping us find local bakeries to consider for our cake or ensuring we felt supported through every adjustment to the room layout. Her transparency and dedication ensured our vision was brought to life exactly as we imagined.
The food was a highlight of the experience, starting with a fantastic tasting that gave us complete confidence in the menu. Eman went out of her way to accommodate specific food allergies, ensuring that every guest - including the groom - could dine safely and enjoy the meal without worry. When the wedding day finally arrived, the execution was flawless. The staff handled transitions between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception with such precision that the entire evening felt like a seamless flow of energy. It was truly a moment of “trust in the process and the people who you have been working with along the way” to execute your vision. Eman may have brought my ideas to life, but she also made them surpass my wildest dreams and I am forever thankful.
Jadelyn, my bridal assistant, also was an absolute gem. She elevated the entire day of experience for both myself and my husband from making sure I had water or food, fixing my lipstick, or perfecting my dress train. She also captured INCREDIBLE day of photos and videos to give us a fast peak into our day right after it was over, which will be cherished forever.
The guest experience was equally impressive, and we have received non-stop compliments about the quality of the service from booking a room for stay to the wedding day of flow. The Ravel provides a modern, chic NYC vibe that is hard to beat, but it is the warmth and professionalism of Eman and the rest of the staff that truly sets it apart. Right down to the parking valets, we were continuously in amazement at how great our experience at the Ravel was. They didn’t just host our wedding; they cared about it, and we would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Our wedding at Ravel was nothing short of extraordinary. From our very first phone call with Eman to the very last dance, the entire team made us feel supported, celebrated, and co...
mpletely at ease.
Our wedding planner, Eman, was an absolute star. Her organization, creativity, and calm presence kept everything on track. She understood our vision from day one and executed every detail flawlessly. We truly could not have asked for a better guide throughout this journey.
My bridal attendant, Mrianda, was a lifesaver. She anticipated every need before I even had to ask — fixing my dress, keeping me hydrated, calming my nerves, and making sure I felt beautiful and comfortable all day long. Her kindness and attentiveness made a world of difference.
A special thank-you goes to Ann and Joe, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the entire day ran smoothly. Whether it was coordinating timing, helping guests, or managing transitions, they handled everything with professionalism and genuine care. We felt so well taken care of, and our families noticed too.
The venue itself is stunning — from the views, THE VIEWS, to the ambiance to the seamless flow of each part of the celebration. But what truly sets The Ravel apart is its incredible team. They made our wedding not just beautiful, but stress-free and joy-filled. Our guests were talking about our wedding for weeks after. All raving about the views, food, cocktail hour, and the overall incredible time they had.
If you’re considering Ravel for your big day, do it. You’ll be treated like family, your vision will be brought to life, and you’ll walk away with memories that feel nothing short of magical.

We just held our September wedding at The Ravel Hotel, and it was a marvelous experience!
From the planning, collaboration and vendor management, with Ravel's Event Management te...
am (shout out Eman, Jadelyn, Anna, Joe, Miranda & the whole team!) to the execution of the day itself, it was a remarkably smooth experience. I must commend the Ravel team for being on top of their game, and for being candid while also trying to make our dreams come true.
As someone who has never planned a wedding before, the Ravel team were patient and helpful every step of the way. They were able to stay within budget, while also making recommendations on how to optimize within budget. (In full transparency, we got married during peak wedding season in terms of costs, but the Ravel team helped us stay within budget.)
The end result was our truly magical East-meets-West wedding, one that earned top reviews from all my guests - many guests said it was the best wedding they have ever attended! The food also deserves endless praise - it is rare to find a venue that does truly delicious in-house catering. Guests also said it was the best wedding food, and I have to agree - especially the appetizer stations, including the sushi bar! Oh, and the after-dinner dessert parade? Bottle service with dessert? I have never seen that in all the weddings I've been to, and it knocked my socks off!
The views from the rooftop and penthouse were glorious, and captivated both out-of-town guests and seasoned New Yorkers. If you're looking for a memorable and unique NYC wedding experience, highly recommend The Ravel Hotel!

Ravel was absolutely amazing!! We had the best wedding ever! Thanks to Eman and the team, we were able to fulfill our dreams. I was planning the wedding on my own but I couldn't ha...
ve possibly done it without Eman. She was our coordinator and one of the managers at Ravel. When I was spiraling, she was able to bring me back in. She suggested the best vendors and everyone came together to make it the most perfect day.
NYC Flower Project made the already beautiful venue into a dream.
DJ Genesis Events kept everyone literally dancing all night long.
Tati and Roman captured our day with the best photos ever while keeping everyone calm and collected.
James Terhaar was able to video all the big and small touching moments of the day.
Eman and the team were able to coordinate a large number of guests with zero issues.
Ravel is a one of a kind venue with tons of items already included. They provide a bridal attendant, Jadelyn was the absolute best! Ryan, one of the bartenders, was always friendly and on top of his game. The venue includes food (the best), a beautiful skyline view from a penthouse, linens, furniture, chairs, plates, utensils, lighting, and expert coordination. There is no need to consider any other venue. Can't wait for the next party at Ravel!

We could not have asked for a better, more attentive team than at the Ravel. Chelsey is an angel who made our wedding dreams come true. We felt so supported throughout the process ...
which made us stress free and exceptionally happy to have chosen such a wonderful venue. The views are beautiful, the food is excellent, and the team that helped us bring our vision to life were simply the best. We are confident that choosing Ravel will be the best decision you make in your wedding journey!

I have no words. I would get married at Ravel over and over and over again. We were engaged for 20 months, so it was a long planning process. Chelsey (our coordinator) didn’t miss ...
a beat. She helped us find vendors within our budget, joined all calls with the vendors to help coordinate logistics, and had periodic check-in meetings to make sure we were on schedule. There were ZERO bumps in the road.
The wedding itself - perfect. Our guests are still raving about the food (get the sushi!), the views, and the entire venue. I am still envisioning our room reveal and how spectacular it was. The staff who helped on the day of, were beyond anything I could have imagined. I seriously did not have to lift a finger.
Compared to other venues I think the cost was beyond reasonable and EVERYTHING is included - food, alcohol, linens, a coordinator, a bridal attendant, etc. There are endless options to upgrade and if you want something they don’t have, they will outsource it for you. I was NEVER told no and they worked with my budget to make my dreams come to life.
It was the PERFECT wedding. Do not hesitate to get married at Ravel, it will be worth it.

Ravel is the place for your New York wedding.
We got married there about a week and a half ago, and our guests are still reaching out to tell us how magical the day was—many even ...
said it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended (and these people have been to a lot of weddings!).
From the moment we signed, we were in amazing hands. Chelsey took us under her wing and guided us through every single step. She connected us with the best florist, DJ, photographer, and baker—each one perfectly matched to our style and budget. Working with vendors who already had a strong relationship with Chelsey made everything feel smooth, personal, and stress-free.
Leading up to the wedding, we had regular check-ins to stay on track. Chelsey wasn’t just our planner—she became a friend. She listened to us, supported us, and helped bring our dream vision to life. Wedding planning, which can often be stressful, actually felt like a breeze because of her.
On the wedding day, everything was flawless. Chelsey and her team made sure Von (my husband) and I were completely taken care of—I didn’t have to worry about a thing. And that’s saying a lot, because I’m a very Type-A person! Chelsey went above and beyond, coordinating every moment: from family photos (and we have a big family!), the first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, cake cutting, speeches—you name it.
She even noticed little things: fixing loose strands of my hair, handing me water when I needed it, coordinating with our Best Man and Maid of Honor to make sure the wedding party was in the right place at the right time. She reapplied my lip gloss, gave me her mini fan while we were taking rooftop photos, and made me feel like an absolute queen. My parents were obsessed with her—she left everyone in awe.
We also had Jadelyn, our Bridal Attendant, and she was an absolute dream. She prepared a plate from the cocktail hour and left it in our room in case we missed anything. She cleaned our suite (which had turned into a whirlwind while everyone got ready), touched up my hair before the reception, made sure we had water bottles, collected all the photo booth strips, set up our gift box, and even left us champagne and cupcakes for after the party.
The whole team was so kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure Von and I had the best day of our lives—and they succeeded.
And if the team didn’t already sell you, the venue itself is a gem.
We held our cocktail hour on the rooftop Penthouse, and the skyline views during golden hour took everyone’s breath away. The ballroom for our reception was everything we wanted—elegant, spacious, and with high ceilings (a rare find in NYC!). The fact that there's a hotel on-site also made it super convenient for our guests who stayed overnight.
The food? Absolutely next level.
Hands down the best wedding food I’ve ever had—and I’m not just saying that. My dad, one of the pickiest food critics i know, couldn’t stop raving. The cocktail hour spread blew everyone away with its variety and flavor. Dinner was just as impressive, and even the dessert station got tons of love—mini churros and ice cream sandwiches were a huge hit! Every guest left full, happy, and amazed.
There’s a reason people are still telling us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Ravel and its incredible team made our dream day come true—better than we ever imagined. It was truly the best day of our lives, all thanks to Ravel and their phenomenal team.

We fell in love with Ravel the moment we walked in, and Eman gave us the tour. Getting married in Long Island City was really important to us, and we couldn’t have picked a better ...
location. The views were incredible, and we were so close to so many of our favorite spots in the area.
We worked closely with Eman, and she took our little concept of a dream and turned it into a reality, better than we could have imagined. Working with her and the entire team at Ravel was honestly a dream. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Communication was easy, and we always felt like we were in great hands.
We had about 200 guests, and there was plenty of room for everything from dancing, dining, and just enjoying the night. Our ceremony was on the rooftop in July, and we lucked out with amazing weather; however, we toured on a rainy day in the fall, and even then, the indoor spaces were just as stunning.
They coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors. We used their bridal suite, which was beautiful with cityscape views and super comfortable. At the end of the event, the team packed everything up for us and made sure it all got where it needed to go.
The day of the wedding went so smoothly, and every space, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, looked even better than we imagined once it all came together. Our guests are still raving about how great everything was, especially the food (seriously, the food!).
Planning a big event can definitely feel overwhelming, but this entire experience was such a good one from beginning to end. For everything we got, the value was amazing! We’re so grateful we chose Ravel.

We recently had our wedding at the Ravel Hotel and we are so happy that we chose to celebrate there. From beginning to end, the team made us feel supported and taken care of, even ...
as we planned everything from the West Coast.
Eman, our coordinator, (along with Chelsey!) was incredibly detail-oriented, responsive and helpful through the planning process. She was especially hands-on and attentive on the day of the wedding, and we're so thankful for how thoughtfully she helped bring our vision to life!
The 360 views of Manhattan to Long Island City from our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were so beautiful and the best backdrop for our wedding. The food was also top-tier and such a hit with our guests!
Also a huge thank you to our bridal attendant, Jadelyn, who was truly the best. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, bringing us food and drinks, touching up my makeup and anticipating needs before I could even voice them, we couldn't have asked for a more supportive presence.
Julissa made our hotel stay so easy and convenient and took great care of our guests staying at the hotel as well (& there was a lot of us). We also want to thank Miranda, Khalil, the front desk team, the wait staff on our wedding day, and literally the entire Ravel crew for their kindness & professionalism and for going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly.
If you're thinking about having your wedding in NY, do it here. Our wedding week was unforgettable and we're so grateful to the Ravel Team for making it all possible. We can't wait to visit again on future anniversaries and can't recommend it enough.

My husband and I got married in May 2025 at the Ravel Hotel and we could not have dreamed of a better experience.
We got engaged in November 2023 and started venue hunting shortly...
after. Since our relationship began in NYC, we were looking for a venue that felt connected to the city— either located in Manhattan or overlooking / with a city-like aesthetic. We had a few tours lined up and Ravel happened to be the first. By the end of the tour we knew we had found our venue and canceled all the others.
After inquiring about the venue, we were quick to meet Eman, who is the event coordinator, but more importantly as we joked (but is true) a magician, a visionary, a saint, and most importantly a friend.
Throughout the planning process, Eman was incredible. She was always composed and finding solutions. It was never a “no” but always “let’s see what we can do”. She led the design of the ballroom and even though we only came to her with a few scattered ideas, she transformed them into the most stunning aesthetic.
On the wedding day, she was everywhere and everything all at once, quietly handling the details and constantly checking in on us. We were also surrounded by a phenomenal team on the day of (Anna, Miranda, and Jadelyn) who were just as excellent as Eman and always making sure things were going smoothly.
The Ravel Hotel gave us a multi-level experience that made each part of the event feel exciting and new while still logistically simple being that everything was within the same hotel. We held our ceremony on the rooftop overlooking the NYC skyline, had cocktail hour in the penthouse, moved to the ballroom for the reception, and finished the night with an after-party back in the penthouse. Each space felt distinct but flowed together beautifully.
The food was unbelievable — better than the menu tasting. We had sushi amongst other things during cocktail hour which was a huge hit. Everyone commented on how great the food was (and how much of it there was). We were also able to bring in Joe’s Pizza for the afterparty to make it a true NYC weekend.
Many of our guests stayed at the Ravel and had great things to say about the spacious, clean, and modestly priced hotel rooms—a huge plus for the 100 or so guests we had traveling in for the weekend.
We are endlessly grateful to Eman and the entire Ravel team and staff. They made our wedding day more than anything we could have ever imagined. It was perfection. If you’re considering this venue, do it. It was the best decision we have ever made.

After touring multiple venues, my gut told me Ravel was the one and it was right. I had the wedding of my dreams at Ravel in February 2025. All of our guests raved about the food, ...
especially during cocktail hour, raved about the service and how organized everything was. The space, especially the rooftop, was also perfect for our romantic dinner vibes. It’s stunning on its own and with decor, magical. I was worried that the rooftop might be too cold on a winter night, but the heat works very well and that wasn’t an issue at all. Furthermore, Ravel’s staff is incredible! Eman was great to work with throughout the process and the day before and day of our wedding, she really guided her team make things as easy and smooth as possible for our planner and vendor team. Additionally, my bridal attendant Jay was like my best friend that day. So wonderful to have her with me! My husband and I could go on and on about our experience at Ravel. If you’re considering having a wedding or event there, you won’t be disappointed!

he vibe I was looking for, the perfect space for my cozy chic winter wedding. We were overjoyed with how everything turned out & could not have asked for a better experience.
Eman was the greatest bonus!! I had no idea what I was doing or where to even start, but she jumped right in to help me. Her guidance was invaluable, she made the whole planning process seamless from start to finish. Eman truly understood my vision and connected me with the most amazing vendors who brought it to life perfectly. Working with her was an absolute joy, and I couldn’t have done it without her!
As if Eman’s help wasn’t already enough; on the day of the wedding, I had the pleasure of meeting the rest of the incredible team: Miranda, Anna, and Jaydelyn. They were all so attentive and assured that every detail was perfect. They made us & our guests feel so special! The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the staff managed everything seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day without any worries
I am beyond grateful for the entire team’s dedication and support. They all went above and beyond to make our day perfect. They far exceeded our expectations & we truly could not thank them enough for making our wedding day a dream come true.

The food was fantastic with so many delicious options to choose from for both cocktail hour and the main dinner. You truly can’t beat the breathtaking views on the rooftop and the penthouse. Our guests still continue to tell us how it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to.
The only minor negative feedback we have is that the pool club a couple floors away continued to play loud music during parts of our ceremony.

he support of Eman, from start to finish supporting me in making decisions relating to the venue or anything I need help with. Eman truly held my hand making sure I didn’t miss anything. Then the day of everything was perfect! As the bride, I felt so supported and taken care of. The bridal attendant, Jadelyn is truly incredible at what she does!
When it came to picking a venue, there were a few things my Husband and I wanted. The Ravel exceeded on all of those things. Since the wedding we have received rave reviews on the food (people can't get over how much there was and how good it was!) , the views, and the overall ambience.
If you are looking for an NYC venue that feels like New York City with incredible service and support, then I highly recommend The Ravel.

From the day of our first tour at The Ravel Hotel all the way through to our big day, my husband and I knew that our wedding - and ourselves! - were in the absolute best hands at T...
he Ravel. Our event coordinator, Eman, was a godsend. She was professional, knowledgeable, communicative, friendly, positive, and hardworking. She put all of herself into making our wedding astonishing without ever once trying to “over sell” us anything. In addition to an Event Coordinator from the time of booking all the way through to the big day, I had a bridal attendant the day of my wedding who took care of absolutely everything. She was the perfect mix of being right by my side while still giving me space to be myself and enjoy the day. The entire staff at The Ravel was incredible - I’ve never seen an event run more smoothly! My husband and I felt not just accommodated, but truly taken care of the entire day. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we ate, stayed hydrated, had whatever we needed, and created time with each other one-on-one throughout the day. I could not be more grateful for everyone who contributed to our wedding!
This is all before saying anything about the food, which was superb, the views and ambiance, which were spectacular, and the bridal suite, which was an oasis for me and my husband all wedding weekend long. The best decision I made for my wedding was having it at The Ravel, and my husband and I look forward to spending a night there every anniversary to come!

The Ravel was the perfect location for our wedding. The views are completely stunning, the food was phenomenal, and Eman went above and beyond in answering our questions, giving us...
tips based on her extensive experience, and making sure that our wedding day went off without a hitch. I also particularly loved that the venue includes great backup spaces in case you get unlucky with the weather, and the package included a bridal attendant whose job was literally to follow me around the entire day and do whatever was needed. Would highly recommend!!

We recently had our wedding at Ravel Hotel and it was an unforgettable experience! Honestly we still have no words to describe what an unforgettable day it was. From the moment we ...
toured the space, with an unbelievable view of the city, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. Eman and her team were honestly so attentive and she genuinely invested her time to make our vision come to life. She was basically our wedding planner which we can’t thank her more than enough for all she did for us! From the start of planning to the wedding day, she listened to everything we dreamed it would be. She helped us pick the perfect florist, photographer, dj and even helped with our decor. And the best part is that she was always available whenever we had a question which made the planning smooth and less stressful. We also want to emphasize how much we enjoyed the food. Eman did such an amazing job with assisting on choosing the perfect menu for us, and the guests still talk about how good it was. Just want to say thank you again to Eman and her team! Honestly we still talk about how special our day was and guests still bring up how it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. We couldn’t recommend Ravel hotel enough! And it’s all thanks to Eman and the Ravel team. You truly made our dream wedding a reality, without missing any details and are so grateful for all your hard work and dedication!

The venue itself is an amazing value for what you get. We had our reception in the Penthouse space and it was so beautiful with the city lights in the background. The space made it feel like one big celebration from start to finish and the events team really encourages a fun party atmosphere. If you want a place that’s both elegant and knows how to throw a great party, this is the spot! Highly recommend!

Guests were raving about our wedding for months! They all said it was hands down the best wedding they had every been to. The food and drinks were so delicious, the preferred vendors were all amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better team.
Eman made sure the entire wedding and reception was planned exactly as we wanted. Everything I asked for, she found a way to make it happen. Down the the tables, decor, special drinks...Truly above and beyond service. Even when we were ready to leave, everything was magically packed and ready to go! The team at Ravel were literal angels! The entire night ran so smoothly, completely stress free. Worth every penny!

Wow wow wow. I have absolutely no words to describe our experience planning our wedding with the ravel! But I'll try to sum it up.
From start to finish Eman made the whole proces...
s a breeze. Which was especially important as we are based in the UK so had to plan the whole thing VIRTUALLY. We hadn't viewed the venue in person, or tried the food! We put all our faith in Eman and the team and my word did they come through. I cannot thank you all enough for making our wedding an absolute day to remember and all our guests said it'll be the best wedding they'll ever go to (some of them even included their own in that haha!). From the bar staff, wait staff, Jay our lovely bridal attendant and of course Eman, everyone was pleasant and smiling all night and couldn't do enough for us. Please can we go back in time and do it again!

The view was stunning - I've always wanted to have a roof top wedding, and the Ravel's retractable roof on their penthouse was perfect to ease our concerns about having this type of party with unpredictable weather. Also - all of our guests could not stop raving about the food. Overall, it was a unique and special venue with really responsive, helpful, and sweet staff. Would absolutely choose it again.

The Ravel and Chelsey absolutely crushed it. As the daughter on an event planner, my standards are VERY high. I know what I want and Chelsey executed flawlessly. Our original flori...
st, who I found independently, disappointed me severely and I needed a new one with 2 months notice and Chelsey immediately connected me with one who came through! Chelsey and the Ravel handled all my requests immediately and were available to talk at all times of any day. Chelsey was always reachable and able to answer all my questions. As a bride who lives in New York but is not originally from New York, we had a lot of guests coming from out of town. Julissa handled all of our guests requests and made sure everyone had what they needed. On the day of the wedding, I knew that everything was going to be perfect because Chelsey was handling it. From having Jadelyn as my bridal assistant making sure my back up shoes didn’t show in the family photos, to ensuring that my veil was sturdy in the wind, I never had to worry. The ceremony, cocktail hour and party were perfect. The roof open on the penthouse with the string lights were the best part. Chelsey made sure to execute my vision and even elevate it with a new floor plan to ensure everyone fit. Now, weeks after the wedding, I have guests telling me they still think about all the food and the views. Overall, the venue is out of dreams with the views, food, organization and drinks. If I could, I would do my wedding again every year at the Ravel.

We had our wedding at the Ravel Hotel on May 18 and it was perfection! From the planning process to the night of the wedding, everything was flawless and executed to perfection. We...
worked with Eman, who understood our vision and the overall vibe that we wanted. She was respectful of our budget and our “must haves” and worked with us to make our wedding more
than we could have ever dreamed.
Our guests raved about the food (special shout outs to the crispy rice, chicken and waffles, sushi, mini sliders, miso cod and garlic mashed potatoes).
The weather on the night of our wedding made us make a last minute decision to move our ceremony inside. While we were disappointed not to be able to have it on the rooftop, Eman and her team quickly transformed the Foyer into a warm , intimate and beautiful space in which to have the ceremony. And, this allowed us to have an absolutely iconic entrance for me (I wont give it away here) that people are still talking about. Plan B can produce some memorable
moments for sure! Our guests were still able to enjoy the beautiful views through the large windows during the cocktail hour, and by the time the reception was in full swing, the weather cleared up enough so that people could go outside the ballroom for a bit and enjoy the views
from there.
Our experience with the Ravel, with Eman and her team was amazing and the wedding was perfect-more than we could have dreamed. We would highly recommend the Ravel Hotel to any couples who are looking for a cool and beautiful venue-rain or shine!

Our wedding at Ravel Hotel was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, Eman and the team at Ravel Hot...
el were incredible. Eman was extremely flexible with our requests and provided excellent direction on vendor recommendations, which made the planning process so much easier.
The venue’s catering team was also outstanding, and all of our guests were raving about the diverse assortment of food offered.
We were initially drawn to Ravel Hotel because of the stunning city skyline view and the fact that catering was incorporated into their package. This combination made it the perfect choice for us. Throughout the planning process, Eman and the team ensured that everything came together seamlessly.
We had a special request to set up a small table during the reception for our loved ones who had passed away, and Eman was very accommodating in getting it set up beautifully. On the day of our wedding, the setup and decor were beyond our expectations. Eman recommended an amazing florist, and we were awe-stricken when we walked into the reception hall for the first time.
The catering team also offered a vegetarian option, ensuring that all of our guests' needs were met without any worries. The overall ambiance was fun, social, and joyous, allowing all of our loved ones to celebrate together in one space.
There were so many standout moments during our wedding. The cocktail hour blew everyone away, and we’ve been hearing compliments on its execution for weeks. The dessert parade was another fantastic surprise. One of the most magical moments was when the ceiling opened up to reveal the bridge and cityscape on a cool, clear night – it was absolutely breathtaking.
The staff at Ravel Hotel were extremely professional and cordial throughout the entire event. We wholeheartedly recommend Ravel Events to any couples looking to host their wedding there. Wedding planning can be stressful, but on the day of, everything that Ravel put together exceeded our expectations.

We still cannot believe how flawless the day was, but we know it was because of everyone working behind the scenes. We would recommend this venue to anyone who wants their wedding in NYC as the view is breathtaking of the 59th Street Bridge and NYC skyline. Even on one of the rainiest days in March, we had the most amazing pictures and memories made.

our special day, the staff, especially our wedding coordinators Eman and Jaylen, went above and beyond to make our wedding extraordinary.
Eman, our main wedding coordinator, was a true gem throughout the entire planning process. She worked tirelessly for months, helping us identify the best vendors, meticulously planning every detail, and ensuring that all logistics were in place. Eman's expertise and passion for creating unforgettable weddings were evident in every aspect of our celebration. Her ability to turn our visions into reality made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free.
On the day of the wedding, Jaylen, our day-of coordinator, was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment we arrived, she was by the bride's side, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Jaylen's attention to detail, calm demeanor, and ability to handle any unexpected challenges allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day. Her presence was reassuring, and we felt incredibly well taken care of.
The venue itself is a masterpiece, with the rooftop ceremony providing a breathtaking backdrop of the iconic New York City skyline. The evening views during the cocktail hour were simply mesmerizing, and the combination of the twinkling city lights, delectable food, and delightful drinks created a magical atmosphere. Our reception was nothing short of perfection, and every detail reflected the dedication and hard work of the Ravel Hotel team.
In summary, if you're searching for a wedding venue that combines elegance, breathtaking views, and an exceptional team, look no further than Ravel Hotel. Eman and Jaylen, along with the entire staff, made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. The memories of our rooftop ceremony, the nighttime views of NYC, and the flawless execution of our reception will be cherished for a lifetime. Thank you, Ravel Hotel, for making our wedding day the magical celebration we had always envisioned.

I truly didn't have a worry the day of the wedding, I was confident that everything was taken care of, and it was! Jadelyn was an AMAZING bridal attendant and was there every step of the way making sure that I was taken care of for whatever popped up. The bridal suite was perfect and spacious for getting ready (and also had great natural light). Our original plan was to have our ceremony on the roof and we had to pivot to an indoor location because of weather and the ceremony in the lobby area of the ballroom turned out beautifully. I (the bride) walked down the staircase to head down the aisle, and it was a moment for sure! Our guests raved about our cocktail hour food stations, the sushi station is a can't miss! I don't think you can find a better value in NYC than the Ravel!

remony, cocktail hour, reception, and a hotel for all our guests made planning substantially easier and the night so much more enjoyable for everyone. The entire staff of the Ravel are incredibly professional, going above and beyond in every aspect of the planning and execution, making this such a special event. Eman surpassed all of our expectations and coordinated every single detail perfectly to ensure a flawless day we'll never forget. She was such integral part of all planning & decisions; she helped guide us along every step of lighting, florals, food, décor, etc.
The day of, our bridal attendant, Jadelyn, was a lovely calming presence that every bride needs on her wedding day. She anticipated every one of our needs, making sure we were fed, happy and knew exactly when to take a breath and appreciate the day.
Our guests raved about everything. The views of the Manhattan skyline during cocktail hour, the food being without question the best they've ever had at a wedding, and the stunning ballroom decorated immaculately to our vision. So many of our guests commented that it was the most spectacular wedding they had ever attended. The rooms at the Ravel were also perfect, especially the bridal suite, where we got some of the best pictures on the balconies overlooking the skyline. It was truly the best day of our lives, and we cannot thank everyone at the Ravel for making our dreams come true!

My partner and I were absolutely amazed with our wedding. We spent the honeymoon discussing all the things we thought went right or what we would do differently, and the venue and ...
Ravel team was 100% in the what went right column.
Eman was our great wedding coordinator and was there through the whole process as well as on-site the day of the wedding.
The team: Eman, Tracy, Jadelyn, Betsy, and the whole team were great to work with, flexible up until the day of and very helpful on calls with our vendors, many of whom had not worked at the venue before. Once the day was in motion everything was seamless - the team was continuously calm, professional, and helpful.
Venue: We visited 9 venues before choosing this one. The site was beautiful on a summer evening with a sweeping view of the Manhattan night. Three distinct spaces (for us the rooftop, observation deck, and penthouse) for ceremony, cocktail, and reception allowed the guests to flow through and experience the wedding. The team of course is very experienced with the space and had plans for city sound, wind, summer heat, and inclement weather backups.
Organization: Ravel has the timing of their weddings down - they recommended us taking photos before the wedding itself, allowing us to spend almost all the time with our guests instead of being caught up with portraits. The team worked with us to accommodate our flow of the ceremony and reception.
The food: the food the night of was even better than the tasting, and we heard many good things from our guests, including “best wedding food I’ve had” and “better than [famous NY steakhouse which will not be named]”. The team worked with us to select personalized cocktails which fit our styles and were flexible in meeting the drink requests of our guests.
Notes: Some things to consider when picking this venue:
The florals don’t have to be 8ft high and covering the space. We went with a simpler look which we thought worked best for us.

re all delicious and our guests were very happy. Ravel is also a hotel, not just an event space, so it was easy to work with management and ensure our guests had a comfortable stay.
The planning: Through the supportive staff and on-site coordinator, Chelsey, the wedding planning process was much easier than expected. She provided a wedding timeline and recommendations based off my inspo pics. Chelsey also introduced us to many vendors (that's how we found our florist and DJ) and coordinated with all vendors.
The day of: Our wedding day could not have been smoother. We had plenty of space in our suites to get ready and take photos. The many spaces throughout the venue provided beautiful backdrops for photos. I had a dedicated bridal attendant, who was so sweet and helpful (my bridal party just got to relax!). They provided us privacy when needed, made sure we ate throughout the event, and had our personal items (signs, guest book, etc.) + champagne and cupcakes waiting in our room for after the wedding.
TLDR: Ravel is a beautiful venue and took very good care of us.

Before getting married at the Ravel, my husband planned the most perfect engagement on the roof of the venue with the help of Eman. We loved the venue and working with Eman so much...
that we decided to book our wedding there as well in September of 2023. Words cannot even begin to explain how happy we are with this decision.
Because of Eman, Jadelyn and the amazing team at the Ravel, our wedding was truly the best day of our lives. The team executed perfectly on turning our vision into a reality and we were absolutely blown away by how smoothly everything ran on the day of. We had always planned to get married on the roof because of the spectacular views that it offers, but due to some rain in the forecast, we ultimately decided to get married in the foyer. While this was not part of our initial plan, the foyer helped promote an intimate setting that created a beautiful ceremony. Following the ceremony, our guests were seamlessly transported up to the penthouse for the cocktail hour where they were greeted with stunning views of the Queensboro bridge and Manhattan landscape. It was truly a dream come true. To this day, our guests cannot stop raving about how GREAT the food was – especially the sushi bar! Multiple stations offered a wide variety of options and the staff worked extremely efficiently to minimize wait times. Following the cocktail hour, guests were again seamlessly transported back down to the ballroom for the reception. The ballroom would not have looked the way it did without the help of Eman throughout the entire process. She provided us with trustworthy vendors to make sure that our vision came to life, and everything was executed perfectly. From the florals to the table layouts and the placement of the dance floor we were able to easily fit our 225 guests. We could not have planned this night without the help of Eman and the entire team at the Ravel. Jadelyn, our bridal attendant, went above and beyond to make sure everything was running on time and that all of our needs were met throughout the day and night.
While this review is long, it doesn’t even begin to describe how grateful we are for the team at the Ravel. We cannot recommend the venue enough and we are hoping that one of our friends books their wedding here so that we can attend another one (as a guest this time!). Thanks again to Eman and the team!!
