    The perfect NYC wedding venue

    The staff at the Skylark, along with the incredible views, made our wedding night more amazing than we could have imagined. Peter, the on-site coordinator, was amazing and made sure all of our concerns were addressed before and during the wedding. The bartenders worked quickly to limit any delays at the bar and were very friendly and respectful to all of our guests. The servers, bridal assistant, and hostess were also very professional and helped the entire evening exceed our expectations!

    Your stomach will drop

    I only toured this venue as a potential spot for my 2022 wedding because that was all I could handle. I am giving this venue five stars because they were very responsive and professional. It really is an awesome venue, but once you step out on the rooftop, your heart could plummet into your stomach. The views are absolutely incredible, but the only thing stopping you from falling down thirty/thirty-two floors to the ground is one thickness of glass secured to posts. When I went out on the rooftop I clung to the side of the building for the whole tour. I loved the venue, but I realized I couldn't warm up to the idea of putting my guests on the edge of the building. I'm sure it passes code, but to my understanding, I would not put myself or my guests through that feeling. Again, this is an awesome venue, probably one of the coolest I could have asked for myself. The team is very responsive and professional, and when I toured the venue I met a couple who had their wedding the night before. They only had rave reviews of the venue. It is truly my loss that I won't choose this venue in the end. It's not for everybody.

    Absolutely Incredible Experience

    We had our wedding at the Skylark in June 2022 and cannot put into words how incredible our experience was. We were planning a smaller wedding for 50-70 guests and struggling to find a venue with a “wow” factor that wouldn’t feel overwhelmingly large. We came across the Skylark and didn’t even want to tour other venues upon seeing it. Not only is the space and view breathtaking, the professionalism and responsiveness of the contact (Laura) we worked with surpassed every other venue we talked to. We also loved that a day-of-coordinator, catering, furniture, linens, and even the cake were included as part of the package, meaning fewer things for us to worry about. We also did a lot of research and were pleased that Skylark partners exclusively with Abigail Kirsch catering, which is known for the highest quality food and presentation. Closer to our date, we started working with Peter, who is the day-of-coordinator. Our whole family was astounded by his attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to ensuring our event flows smoothly. He patiently worked with us through every single detail and make multiple accommodations to meet our preferences. On the wedding day, there was not a single glitch or hiccup. When things were running a little off schedule, Peter worked behind the scenes with our entertainment team and other vendors to improvise, and everything was absolutely perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning venue, the incredible food and open bar selections, and the whole team of staff that worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. We truly could not have made a better choice!
