Loved everything. Kristina was perfect, patient, and helpful. I always got a response from her within 24 hours which was incredible considering she was planning her own wedding during my process. I even had a dress mishap on the day of which she fixed in no time. I got married in December so the venue was decorated for x-mas which I loved (part of the reason why I wanted a winter wedding). I could not have asked for a better location being a arms reach from Rockefeller center. Considering where it was located, I was surprised to find this within budget but it was very reasonable. I unfortunately did not eat at my wedding, but all of my guests said it was delicious -- we had a buffet style reception which I recommend bc you get more for your money and seem to please more guests. The sushi in particular was a favorite. I only had 75 people at my wedding and we used the ballroom for the reception (the biggest room). We didn't want a big dance space so it worked perfectly, but I would say that if you're planning to have a wedding upwards of 100+ guests the space may feel a bit cramped.

Kristina and the whole team at the 3 West Club made my wedding day simply amazing! We made full use of the club and were able to have family and friends stay there, used the location to get ready in, had the ceremony and reception at the club, and even hosted an after wedding brunch the next day. Not only was the club accommodating, but the price was so reasonable. The food and service was fantastic and during the wedding, the waitstaff treated me like I was their own daughter, being so caring and wonderful! The decor of the venue was beautiful and gave us a great "Old Manhattan" feel. Our guests were delighted with the food and the cocktails. We had 120 guests and we fit perfectly in the ballroom with the cocktail hour in the lounge. Without hesitation, I would recommend this venue to any bride. Thank you to Kristina, Sigfry, and the rest of the 3 West Club staff for everything! Also, I forgot to mention that our wedding was a week and a half after hurricane Sandy. Given the devastation in NY, it did not stop the club from providing us with the wedding of our dreams!

My fiance and I have been looking for the perfect location to hold our wedding. We did not want to have our wedding at a banquet hall because we feel they are "wedding factories", our dream was to have a NYC wedding, but most of the places in NYC are either very small, very expensive or you dont get much for your money. We found 3 West Club and knew it was the perfect Midtown Manhattan location. 3 West feels like an authentic, romantic and classy NYC building. What we liked about it was that you have your cocktail in one. large room and then have a sit down dinner in the grand ballroom (you don't find many grand ballrooms in NYC). The cocktail hour was great, the food that was passed around was excellent, the drinks were stiff, the service was good. The room felt like a large, old romantic living room with a fireplace, we placed gold photo frames of us around the room which was a great touch. Later guests took the elevator down to the grand ballroom which felt so magical with the large crystal chandeliers. We fit 130 guests into the room without a problem. We had lots of room to dance. The bar was located in the hallway outside of the ballroom which worked because guests were still able to see what was going on inside the ballroom. Kristine was our wedding coordinator. She was very organized, professional and experienced with wedding planning so we trusted her. At first we were worried that there would not be enough food, but we took her word and surely the quality and the portions of the food were perfect for our guests. Our wedding ended at midnight (which is a bit early for our young crowd so they went to an after party at a bar nearby which allowed them to change scenes and party until 4am. Our wedding looked and felt like a million bucks, for a lot less than that.

My fiance and I dreamed of have a NYC wedding. 3 West was the perfect venue for us. Not only was it in the center of Manhattan it had a traditional ballroom that not many places in NYC offer. We worked with Kristine, who was very professional and helpful with planning our wedding. We were worried that there would not be enough food but there quality of the food was much better than the typical wedding hall food. Our cocktail hour took place in a beautiful classical Manhattan room with a piano which was very classy and our reception took place in the grand ballroom which was perfect for our 130 guests. We are so happy we decided to have our wedding at 3 West.

This was the perfect gem of a location in Midtown NYC for our fall wedding. Kristina was absolutely perfect to work with and managed the entire event wonderfully. We loved everything about our wedding at 3 West and really had the easiest process from start to finish in planning the wedding. We felt so lucky to have found this location and could not have pictured a better place to have our wedding. Everyone on the staff was great and made the entire day fantastic. And as an aside, the food was absolutely AMAZING. We received tons of compliments in the days and weeks after our wedding about how great the food was. We had zero complaints or issues with the 3 West Club. We highly recommend this venue!

My husband and I could not have been happier with our experience at the 3 West Club. We had our cocktail hour in the solarium, and our guests were awed by the views of Manhattan, and the amazing h'ors d'oevres. Our 4-course dinner in the ballroom was spectacular! Many of our guests said they were so full from the amazing food, they couldn't get up and dance. We took this as a big compliment. :) Kristina, our coordinator, was lovely and so professional to work with. We enjoyed every bit of the planning process with her, and were tickled with the final results.

Amazing! Kristina and Amanda were a blessing. Kristina helped make our day perfect for our guests. The food was amazing, people still rave about it and we were married a year ago. We want to go back every year on our anniversary and repeat the menu because it was so awesome. We had around 120 guests and it went perfectly. We had our cocktail hour on the solarium and reception in the grand ballroom. Couldn't be happier, if you can book, do it! Some pictures from our day. :) http://tismanblog.squarespace.com/journal/2010/7/28/maggie-to-peternew-york-city-wedding-photographer.html

Planning a wedding when you're based outside of the States, can be quite challenging. All my wedding planning has been administered through e-mails and a few phone calls. I realize I must have run into great luck when I found 3 West Club. Finding a venue suitable for a small wedding party of only 24 guests that also had an elegant and romantic touch was difficult, but having our cocktail hour on the terrasse of the Solarium and dinner inside was not only perfect, it surpassed all my expectations! For a June wedding with temperatures around 80-90 F, the terrasse was also great for enjoying drinks during the after party with the beautiful backdrop of skyliners and the St. Patricks Cathedral beaming. All the hors d'ouvres and 3 course dinner were excellent, and our guests still talk about the food and how good it tasted. You need not be worried about the food! There was plenty and it was absolutely delightful. Our coordinator Kristina had everything under control and was great to work with and flexible to all my ideas. Price for the reception/food services was very affordable - choosing this venue gives you great value! We had without a doubt a dream wedding that we and our guests never will forget, and we highly recommend 3 West Club to any future wedding couples. In the jungle of wedding venues, taking into account price, 3 West Club is a small hidden gem on 5 th avenue!

I just had my wedding at the 3 West Club in June 2010 and everyone is still raving about everything from my wedding. When I first saw the venue, I fell in love with the beautiful ballroom and the solarium. It is so hard to find a nice and warm space in the city and 3 West provided exactly that at a reasonable cost. Kristina the catering manager was an absolute delight to work with. We asked if we could bring Korean food for the cocktail hour and she said the chef is willing to work with our recipes since outside food is not allowed. The chef did an amazing job with Korean recipes. In addition, Kristina was so organized and prompt that I didn't have to do much thinking except to answer her questions. Without her the wedding would not have been as smooth or organized. The food was absolutely amazing. I know it sounds cliche but 3 West food was anything but wedding food. My friends and family are still raving about the food, especially the halibut. Thank you 3 west!

My husband and I would recommend the 3 West Club to any couple. They are professional, attentive and sincerely invested in making any wedding event the best it could possibly be. Kristina, Amanda, Marie and the entire catering staff were incredible and with us every step of the way. Chef Eisenberg's food received well deserved praise. My only reservation is the hotel rooms as we had many mix-ups and lost reservations for our party, but Maria at the Front Desk was a wizard at fixing it. It would probably be advisable to book only a couple of rooms for the wedding party and book others elsewhere to save confusion. This was a very minor detail and should not discourage anyone from this venue. For Manhattan, it was affordable and absolutely gorgeous.

The 3 West Club was truly a remarkable place to hold our wedding reception. From start to finish the service has been exceptional. Amanda the director of catering was absolutely AMAZING! She always responded to us quickly and catered to all of our requests. Leading up to the wedding the staff was very accomodating. The decor is classic and timeless. We were blown away with how flawless the ballroom was set up. The wait staff was delightful and the food was outstanding. We were constantly stopped by our guests to just rave about how great the food is! We would ABSOLUTELY recommend this venue to anyone with a group of 100-120 guests. It is the perfect setting and in this ecomony reasonably priced!

We originally found this site online. As soon as I came for a tour I saw the potential and booked it within a week. It is a great venue for an NYC wedding, with very reasonable prices for the city. The decor of the rooms is simple and classic. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception on site, each in a different room. The food was fanatastic and there was more than enough of EVERYTHING. The solarium room we used for our cocktail hour has an unbelievable view of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Many of our guests stayed out on the balcony enjoying their cocktails and the view. The ballroom is perfect for a group of 100. Enough space to not feel too crowded or too spread out with a nice sized dance floor in the middle. However, it might have felt cramped with a larger sized wedding. Although the guest hotel rooms are small, the bridal suite is like a mini apartment, quite roomy, there was enough space for all the bridal party to relax and have their hair & make-up done.

The venue is aesthetically pleasing and was perfect for my Halloween wedding. The food was actually EXCELLENT, however the catering manager was very disorganized and the end result was missing items, extremely late start and dinner being served at nearly 11 oclock. I was told dessert would be finished by ten according to a timeline provided. On a Friday night I'd hate to keep guests waiting when most people came straight from work and were starving! I was assured this was no problem.Our ceremony began almost an hour late and in the end I had to extend my wedding at the additional cost of almost 2000 dollars. There is an empty room available to use as a "bridal suite" only after 5 pm if on a weekday.There were no food or beverages in the bridal suite for the bridal party.I actually had to get a hotel room to prepare prior to the ceremony.Moreso, a staff member actually yelled at one of my guests and pointed in her face. The venue is also known as the Women's Republican club, and that very night there happened to be a party in honor of candidate John McCain. As one of my guests (who happens to be hispanic) entered the elevator to pack up my belongings she was questioned her whereabouts by one of the Republican partygoers. When she said she was coming from the wedding, the women replied "oh you look like the help." I was shocked I was extremely disappointed in the service provided. Thank goodness for my take charge friends who managed the manager.

I actually found this site while touring the web for wedding sites. When I called, I was told that the only date available in March, was March 4th, which was the day my husband and I had decided we wanted. From the beginning, the staff was informative, flexible, and professional. Pilar (the woman who arranged everything) really helped to get all of the details sorted out and make sure that the wedding was well organized. It really is a great site for the price, especially in NYC. I definitely recommend it!

An incredible value for a Manhattan wedding venue. The food is absolutely excellent. The facilities have a wonderful old New York appeal, and the view from the Solarium is spectacular. I highly recommend the 3 West club! 5+ years later, our guests still rave about a magical evening! It is an antique building, and charming as such.
