I had a wonderful experience working with Jeno at the Manhattan Penthouse. We booked the venue only about four months before the wedding, so I thought everything would be very rushed, but Jeno was calm and assured us we'd be fine. I sent him dozens of emails with questions, and he answered all of them promptly. He dealt directly with the bakery, band, and florist to coordinate event-timing, which saved me a lot of stress the week before my wedding. He even let us request special beer/liquor to be stocked at the bar! Everything was very flexible, which was great since we were planning on short notice. We were able to come in for a tasing one evening to get an idea of the food we wanted, and had tons of great choices. After the wedding, everyone commented on how delicious the food was. The penthouse looked amazing the night of the wedding, and the staff was very professional. This is a beautiful venue, and I'm not sure I could have gotten through wedding planning without all of Jeno's help, who went way beyond the call of duty.

> Thank you Laura! It's our pleasure to have been a part of your magical day!

I had the most amazing experience with Manhattan Penthouse. I worked with Jeno to plan my wedding and he was absolutely the best, most helpful, professional vendor I worked with throughout the whole planning process. He answered my many emails over the year quickly and always with a thorough, helpful response. He calmed me down when I got nervous about things and offered suggestions to make my day better than I could have imagined. I had 100% faith in Jeno to take care of everything, and he did not disappoint. I really feel like he went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Service aside, the venue is so beautiful and was the perfect location for our Sunday brunch wedding. It was bright and airy and set the stage for a romantic afternoon. The price was an incredible value. I am so lucky to have had my wedding at Manhattan Penthouse!

The Manhattan Penthouse is just....AMAZING! The actual venue and views are georgeous. And the Catering Manager Jeno Steiner and staff are the absolute best. We got married yesterday and I'm taking a moment to write this review today. That's how wonderful they made our day. From beginning to end it was perfection. We ended having a miscommunication with our florist but Jeno and the staff were able to get the flowers in place and looked beautiful. We had planned to have a small Tea Ceremony that actually expanded to fit the rest of the family and MP was able to accommodate it without a problem. And the food (and fruit and cookies) were soo good! The staff is really sweet and would continue to come around to make sure we had something to eat or drink. Everyone was super attentive and our guests were super impressed! Overall, if you're reading these reviews to figure out if you like this place~ read no further. It's absolutely wonderful!

> Thanks for the kind words Luisa!!

The Manhattan Penthouse is a truly special wedding venue that is, in the world of weddings, actually excellent value. The views of the city, including the Empire State Building, are why we chose the space, and they wowed our guests. The cocktail space and ceremony/reception space separation works really well, the rooms themselves are very elegant, and the bridal suite is convenient (and made for some great photo ops). We, and our guests, could not stop raving about the food (especially the lamb). It was nothing like "wedding food" and was truly delicious. Above all, Jeno Steiner, who managed our wedding, is incredible. He never takes more than one minute to respond to email (I am not exaggerating), he dealt with and incorporated my one million emails and requests, and he made the entire evening run flawlessly. He was even thoughtful enough to bring a selection of hors d'oeuvres to the bridal suite for right after the ceremony, so that we could eat a little bit of everything (something I hadn't even thought of). I wouldn't say it's cheap, but for a Manhattan venue that allows for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, with such elegance, it's comparatively excellent value. I couldn't recommend the Penthouse more, our wedding was everything we had ever dreamed of.

> Thank you for all of your kind words! It's for people like you that we work so hard to provide a great experience! Happy new year!

We had our wedding at the Alger House and worked with Jeno. We loved our wedding - and our guests were so impressed with the space, the food (very, very good - the reviews here do not lie), the atmosphere and for those who were there helping set up, the professionalism of the staff, especially Jeno. We did also take a look at the Manhattan Penthouse, but felt that it was not 'us'... the Alger House had more charm and character to it, and could accommodate a wedding of our size (80-90 people). Jeno is definitely a character - he is not the type to be a warm and fuzzy hand holder (that is what my friends were there for!), but he is hyper responsive, flexible, and knows what he is doing. My brother, who produces corp IT conferences came in to help set up the AV system (including a screen up front at the ceremony with a skyped in best man!) was blown away by him and the rest of the staff... Would do it all again, and would not have changed a thing.

Manhattan Penthouse was the first and only venue we visited. We wanted a cozy, intimate atmosphere but still have amazing views of the city. Manhattan Penthouse was PERFECT. The 360 degree views are absolutely phenomenal. The food was spectacular! I have heard nothing but rave reviews from everyone that was at the reception. Monika was excellent as responding to emails and answering all questions during the planning process. Angel - I think he was head waiter - was the only other person I met that night of the wedding (the whole night was very busy!) but he was wonderful! It was so great knowing that the food was coming from Manhattan Penthouse - one less thing to do. Their menu is very extensive and a little overwhelming but everything on it is delicious. You know how people say you don't eat at your own wedding? After the tasting we had, I made sure to eat the food! It was too good to pass up! They don't provide a cake but they do have a lot of other really great desserts. It was a perfect evening and we could not have picked a better location. Highly recommended!

> Thanks for the review Gillian! We appreciate it very much and couldn't be happier to have shared your wedding with you!

My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at Manhattan Penthouse. We worked with Monika from the first day we looked at the space. Monika is unbelievably professional and very accomodating. She always made time to meet with us or schedule a time for us to come in to look at the space throughout the planning process. She helped us with everything from menu choices to the day of schedule. The space itself was beautiful and offered the views of the City that we were looking for. The food was delicious and the staff was on point. People warned us that the bride and groom never eat at their own wedding, but every time my husband and I turned around Monika or someone else from the staff was taking care of us (putting plates of food in the bridal suite, bringing us plates for a quick bite during cocktail hour, making sure we had drinks, etc.) They were simply amazing. Monika even made sure our sundae bar had crumbled chewy chips ahoy per my husband's request. No detail was overlooked. Monika runs a tight ship but keeps a smile on her face the entire time. If you are looking for a venue in NYC, I strongly suggest you look at Manhattan Penthouse. Monika and everyone else there truly gave us our dream wedding.

Planning any event takes time and patience - Having worked with Monica made our celebration a breeze - that said knowing how busy she is as We first met her on a Sunday @ Alger House then again at the 5th Ave Penthouse for a tasting She seems to be busy running back and forth between the 2 venues (5th Ave and Downing Street) yet she makes it effortless and treats you as if you are her only client...Every email sent was immediately addressed.. MONICA - KUDOS to you the Best Director of Catering" that I have come across and her wonderful attentive staff that our guest raved about all night Thank You for being such a professional... every single detail of your attention was paid to our celebration YOU PUT "HOT" back INTO Hot HorD'oeuvers ~ What service thank you!!!!! You truly made our celebration at the Alger House awesome I have a strong feeling that all the people who asked for your number will be calling Thank you again and again Vee

We had a fantastic reception at the Manhattan Penthouse which, in our case, was only a couple (walking) blocks from where we celebrated the wedding at Grace Church. MP's bar room was the perfect size for our 115 guest and the 5-piece jazz band we hired from Juilliard (also flawless). The main room was more than spacious and attractively configured for the tables and dance floor. One of the key features of MP is their gorgeous, huge arched windows. Apart from floral arrangements on the tables, we had to add nothing in the way of decorations. The beauty is in the architecture of the rooms and the views - especially at night which is when it counts. The other key selling point of the place is Monika Nemeth, who we worked with. She is awesome (calm, professional, accommodating, interested, hard working). We did not like the wine selection they offered, so we brought in our own bottles. We got a satisfactory credit, and the matter was a non-issue. The proof of it all was that we had a fun wedding, didn't need to sweat the reception, and our guests loved the experience. I am sure you would too.

We worked with Monika and she made our wedding dreams come true! We are so glad we chose Manhattan Penthouse for our wedding venue, the quality of food and service was fantastic. The venue is highly flexible, accommodating, and aesthetically beautiful. The location and Manhattan views are unbeatable and it definitely is a good value. Monika responded to all of our concerns, no matter how big or small and helped minimize the stress of planning our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our venue choice, Manhattan Penthouse, you're the best! Elena & John

The Manhattan Penthouse and Monika Nemeth were AMAZING! I give them the highest ratings!!! Run, don't walk. The place, the food, the view, the service, the ease, along with Monika's grace, advice, professionalism, to just name a few of her lovely qualities. We couldn't have been happier.

I got married at Manhattan Penthouse in August of 2012 and I had the best experience. The food was amazing, the views are just like in the magazine, even better. Monika, our contact person there made everything so easy for us. She was always available for every little question, she got back to us within minutes all the time. Her experience in planning events, calm manner and professionalism was very reassuring for us from the moment we met her. Everything that was promised was delivered!! Highly recommend it.

We held our wedding reception at Manhattan Penthouse, and I honestly think this is the best decision we made about our wedding! Jeno Steiner made the entire planning process extremely easy and stress-free. Whenever we had a questions, he answered our emails within minutes of receiving them. He worked with all our vendors so that the entire night ran perfectly. The cocktail hour room and the reception room were set up exactly as we had discussed and it looked beautiful. Not to mention that the actual space of Manhattan Penthouse is beautiful! Our guests could not stop talking about the unbelievable views. During our reception we were able to enjoy the views in the daylight, through sunset, and then the lit up NYC skyline. It added such an elegant element to the night. The waitstaff was super friendly and attentive, and all the food was delicious. The h'orderves and all the dinner courses were top notch. And on top of all this, Manhattan Penthouse offers prices that can't be beat. I HIGHLY recommend Manhattan Penthouse. It is the perfect setting for a quintessential NYC wedding.

I can't stop raving how great Jeno was. He has been in this business for a long time and it showed. He gave great suggestions on things that we didn't even think about. He knew what to do without us explaining things. And a biggie, he was VERY quick in responding to our emails when we had any questions. My guests were very pleased with the food, unfortunately we didn't get a chance to eat much of it. We even requested a special cocktail to be served and they made it perfectly! Thanks Jeno!

I had my wedding at Manhattan Penthouse a little while ago, and although the food (from what I heard) and space/views were magnificent, it was a frustrating experience for us, mostly because of our catering manager. I had found MP in a vendor listing from a wedding magazine, and knew I had to see the space. Once I did, I was in love. I was looking at venues a year in advance, and although I picked a relatively undesirable date in the winter, our Catering Manager had pressured me right away to put down a deposit as I might lose the date (which in hindsight was probably bull). Nonetheless, I did. Going forward, planning became a headache. I found our CM very cold and unapproachable, and when the seldom occasion came up that I contacted her with questions, she seemed inconvenienced by them. I ended up not doing a tasting because of her attitude about it. It was okay though, because I didn't feel like I needed my hand held through the process. Then when I wanted to upgrade my menu to give a choice of filet mignon, our CM informed me that it would be $8 additional per person, whether or not they ordered the filet mignon. That was fine with me, but as long as we got to take home any steaks that weren't used. That was our understanding. Ultimately, our wedding day was beautiful, but did lack some professionalism. For one, our CM showed up very late, despite having to pay her $450 in cash as the maitre d' for the day, so I found myself setting up the tables myself in my gown, to my photographers disappointment. We also never took home a morsel of food. They told us that every single person ordered the steak. Now, I'm not a dummy. I have eyes. I saw people eating the three other options- the chicken, vegetarian meal, and kosher meal. Some of my family has diet restrictions. They were being cheap and were using our paid steaks for another party. We would have even appreciated anything to take home- a string bean perhaps! After the wedding, our friends told us they saw the waiters put down plates of risotto (the vegetarian meal) for seats where there were no guests (despite the waiter having to take someone's order). So because of that, we were charged for 98 people, when we were 100% positive we had 92 guests. During our honeymoon, the CM was e-mailing us to hunt us down for payment on the six extra imaginary guests (that apparently enjoy risotto!). Our CM also left our party about 2 hours before it ended, so we never got the top layer of our cake back- which we had to pay an outside bakery for since they don't provide one. Had our CM stayed for the time she agreed to and earned the fee we were forced to pay, I'm positive we would have had our cake to take home. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a headache having our wedding here. I always say I wish I were a guest at my own wedding, because then I'd actually know what the food tasted like. Recently, I went to a wedding at the sister location, Alger House, and the food was outstanding. I finally know what the fuss is about. The space and food are definitely fantastic, but the service and professionalism is certainly lacking. If I could go back in time, I think I'd pick some place else. If you do decide to go with MP, make it clear that you want to take all of your food home in advance. I heard from other reviews during the process that Jeno was very good. I wish I had taken that advice while I still had the chance. Good luck and enjoy your big day!

What a wonderful celebration!! Truly the best day of our lives thanks to Monika (Director of Catering) and the staff at Manhattan Penthouse. Monika worked closely with us throughout the planning process and made sure everything went as planned. The venue is absolutely gorgeous--elegant yet unpretentious with wonderful views of NYC. The food was delicious---have you ever been to a wedding where you can honestly say that? All the guests were raving about the food. I highly recommend Manhattan Penthouse--great space, excellent food, fine service and Monika who made us feel less anxious during the entire process.

We had planned a terrace wedding but had to step back when an officiant asked about our Plan B in case of rain or extreme heat in July in New York. We called Jeno to book the Alger House, which could accommodate our number, but he suggested that we look at Manhattan Penthouse. It gave us better views than the terrace and clearly let our guests know that they were in New York. Planning the event was easy – almost too easy. Jeno walked us through everything, making suggestions, taking our input, telling us where we were making things complicated and showing us how to maximize the benefit of our dollars to make the event memorable. We did not have to worry about any of the things that the terrace required. Knowing that we had wanted a terrace wedding, Jeno helped us create that indoors with informal seating and stations. The Manhattan Penthouse comes practically decorated with the golden tones of the woods, the large windows with great views, the trees and the lights. Our creative designer spent about five hundred dollars in materials and flowers to make the space truly memorable. Since Jeno was going to be on vacation, he had to hand us off to Monika. It was a smooth transition. She treated us as if she had known us for a long time. Different issues came up before the wedding from time to time. We decided to live stream the ceremony for family members who could not travel. No problem. We wanted the piano moved during the evening. No problem. Some guests announced that they were vegans. No problem. First one solution and then another. The vegan alternatives in a fajita station were clearly marked. The staff identified the vegans to make sure that they were well served. We were concerned that having only 80 people in the ballroom would look like a lot of empty space, especially since we were not dancing. They made the empty space disappear. Guests, some of them wedding food skeptics, kept coming up to us to praise the food and the fact that they did not have lines to wait in. Everything went smoothly. Our guests really liked the staff and the staff seemed to treat us as family.

I just had a fantastic wedding at Manhattan Penthouse! Jeno was my contact there--he was so flexible to account for the details I wanted and was extremely helpful on the day of, so I didn't need to hire a wedding planner. He's also the most responsive wedding vendor I worked with, answering my questions almost immediately, even on weekends. The food and service was great--even my mom, who complains about everything, was pleased! It's a relatively good value for a NYC wedding, with its own catering, tables, dishes, etc.

I don't know why anyone would choose any other venue in NYC for their wedding. We looked at a whole bunch of venues and the choice was very easy. And the venue absolutely surpassed our expectations. First off, this venue has the most gorgeous views of NYC. Whether your guests are NYC natives, or visiting from out of town, the view is sure to WOW. The only view you don't get is due west, but that's actually perfect because you don't get the sunset in your eyes like at other venues (like at Water's Edge in Brooklyn. I've been to weddings there and I couldn't even see the ceremony because the sun was too bright). The food was excellent. We got so many compliments about the appetizers (passed and stationary), and also about the main courses. And the service was also great. Everyone was so professional. At our table we had our own personal server who was there for our every need! It was awesome having a venue that did its own catering so we didn't have to worry about food or rentals or logistics. I only wish we had thought to ask for appetizers to be brought to us in the bride's room because we didn't get to taste any of them. But I'm sure if we had asked they would have brought some to us. But - none of that even matters compared to the perfect and astonishing Jeno Steiner. He was the person who originally showed us the space; he worked with us through the contract signing process; he was very reasonable about questions we had on the per person charge and allowed a flexible contract depending on how many RSVPs we received; he was the absolute most responsive vendor I have ever worked with for anything - he would write back to emails almost faster than I could even hit send. One night we emailed him in the evening. He wrote back in less than 5 minutes "On a date - will get back to you in the morning." I mean - wow! Even on a date he made sure to write us back just to let us know he'd write us back soon. Needless to say we highly recommend this venue.

Our guests are still talking about our venue and the incredible food and views that they experienced all night long. Manhattan Penthouse is a GEM if you are looking to host a real New York City wedding. Half of our guests lived in New York City and half of our guests were traveling there, many for the first time. Everyone experienced the beauty that the city had to offer, while dining on what most guests said was "the best wedding food" they've ever had! Jeno is exactly the person you want to deal with leading up to your wedding, and an incredible planner the day of. His attention to detail kept me at ease throughout the whole process, and his ability to "run the night" smoothly made every moment enjoyable for the guests and for me (the bride). We were thrilled with the venue, the food, and Jeno's services and couldn't have imagined a more beautiful night!

From start to finish, MP went above and beyond our expectations. Monika always responded to my endless emails in record time and handled every detail without a hitch. Since our wedding, we have received nothing but compliments on the food (get the lamb! Its amazing!) and the ambiance of the space. Most of our guests had never attended a NYC wedding and were impressed with the 360 views provided by the arched windows. We had nearly 190 guests and the space was a perfect fit – the dance floor was full and open flow between the cocktail room and the main room(and the window seats throughout) ensured that the space never felt cramped. I really cannot say enough about the venue – they were accommodating and from the minute I booked, the space set the stage for the rest of the wedding details.

Everything was amazing. From our first contact until the end of our wedding, everything with the Manhattan Penthouse was perfect. Jeno (who runs the place) is incredibly responsive, never forgets anything, and takes care of every detail. The space is gorgeous and the food is excellent. We received so many compliments on the food and the views. Jeno took care of everything the day of the wedding, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I am so happy that we went with the Manhattan Penthouse. I don't have a single complaint. It really was perfect through all of the planning and the night of the event. I enthusiastically recommend the Manhattan Penthouse without any reservations at all.

We had THE BEST time at our wedding at Manhattan Penthouse. Monika was our contact person there, and she performed her duties while simultaneously having a calming influence over my husband and I. We decided to have both our ceremony and our reception in the space. Imagine the Empire State Building as your ceremony backdrop! Many of our guests complimented the venue and said it was "the best wedding" they'd ever attended. I highly recommend this space. The food, which is catered by the venue, was phenomenal! Overall a really wonderful place to have your NYC wedding.

We had our wedding at Manhattan Penthouse in October 2011 and we could not have been happier. The space is beautiful - huge windows with views of Manhattan. The coordinator, Jeno Steiner, was fantastic. He was flexible about both showing us the space and allowing us to show our vendors the space. We delivered boxes of table numbers, guest books, favors etc the day before our wedding and Jeno and his team had set up everything perfectly with no instruction from us (we were thinking we'd have to do it ourselves before the wedding). Guests couldn't stop talking about how happy they were with the venue and the food. Price for venue space in Manhattan was great. We are very happy with our decision to have our wedding at Manhattan Penthouse.

I just got married in October and Monika has made the experience wonderful. Her professional attitude has made the event better than I could've asked for. She was very friendly, extremely helpful and responsive to our needs. I highly recommend Mansions Catering. Ask for Monika.

Married at Alger House in September '11. It was a fantastic party, due in no small part to the skills and attention of the amazing and wonderful manager, Jeno Steiner. From the beginning, showing us the party space, through the planning process in the middle, to the event itself at the end (He even helped me bustle my dress! Don't worry, it was an outside button ☺), Jeno helped us plan the perfect wedding. We had 80 people and the size was just right. We had the ceremony there as well, then they flipped the tables for a seated dinner reception and dancing. The dancing space was perfect—we just hooked up an ipod system—and we even fit in a photobooth (go see my review for SweetBooths—awesome!). Jeno recommended Ariston for the flowers (go see my review for Ariston—they were great!) In terms of meal specifics, I specifically heard rave reviews about the cocktails and the appetizers and the brownie things they served along with our wedding cakes. We brought in our own wine but hard liquor was included and everybody had as much as they wanted. Bottom line: we were going for a fun wedding with a personal feel that didn't involve schlepping guests from one venue to the next, and we got exactly what we wanted with Jeno and Alger House.

I cannot say enough positive things about The Manhattan Penthouse, and both Monika and Jeno, whom we had the pleasure of working with on our wedding three weeks ago. From the get-go they were warm, accommodating, and unbelievably responsive -- I swear they answered emails before I even sent them sometimes! I was no easy customer -- and no question or concern seemed to phase or frustrate them. They allowed me to transform the space into an Art Deco inspired, 1930s black-tie affair. The value is fantastic, the space is gorgeous, and their flexibility is unparalleled. I was able to pop into the space to take measurements, rearrange tables...or just sit and envision the room (no joke), as often as I pleased! We even had a change of venue director, when Monika had to move her vacation to our wedding week. The transition to Jeno was seamless, as they are in constant communication. I should also mention (this is kinda important), that the food is FANTASTIC. I'm a foodie, and own a company in which I work with chefs, so I'm a tough critic! The guests RAVED about the food both during cocktail hour and the reception. Don't pass up an opportunity to hold your wedding or even at MPH. You'll be so pleased that this one aspect of your planning you won't have to worry about!

Manhattan Penthouse is where we had our wedding. From the moment I met with our contact, Monika, till the day of our wedding, she was there for every little question or concern I had. She was very easy to contact by email, and she responded within minutes. On the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Monika was very organized and the walk down the aisle, as well as the rest of the night was perfect. I've been in other weddings, and have heard horror stories, but Manhattan Penthouse was a dream. The venue itself is beautiful, with wall to wall views of NYC. For someone who loves this city, Manhattan Penthouse is the perfect venue to highlight everything good about NYC. Green Mansions Catering is the in-house caterer for this venue, and the food was delicious. The price was reasonable too, by NYC standards, but our guests thought we paid a lot more than we did. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding, it's beautiful, classy, and you will save yourself a lot of stress!

We had our ceremony at the Alger House less than 2 weeks ago and it was INCREDIBLE! I heard about this venue through one of my friend's coworkers. She had done a lot of research on affordable wedding venues in Manhattan and the Alger House made it on her list. So we decided to visit it and as soon as we walked in, we fell in love with the place. Monika, the maitre d'at the Alger House was a pleasure work with! At one point we were worried when we found out that they were having another wedding earlier that day, but we were so incredibly pleased with the way everything turned out. It was better than we imagined and could have hoped for. Monika was so helpful and I really appreciated her flexibility, advice, and all the work she put into preparing our perfect day. Not only were my husband and I very happy with Monika and the Alger House, but so were our parents and all of our guests! Everyone remarked about the delicious food and the gorgeous decor. Even more interestingly, many, many people told us that their servers were considerate, friendly, and fun--something you hardly hear these days and actually makes a big difference. Again, I am so grateful to Monika and everyone at the Alger House for making our day so memorable. We'll never forget Monika and the wonderful attention she gave us. Consider The Alger House, you won't be sorry...

Having my wedding at Manhattan Penthouse was the easiest, best, smartest choice in my wedding planning. The space is beautiful, the food is delicious, and most of all, the people running it - namely, Monika - are true professionals, with tons of patience and experience. I am so grateful for their help in making my wedding a calm, organized, wonderful experience. As far as I could tell from my research around NYC, there is no better value that you can find. I am thrilled to recommend Manhattan Penthouse! Go check it out!

I can't even put into words how happy we are that we went with Jeno Steiner and the Manhattan Penthouse for our wedding. We were so impressed with the professionalism, the value for the cost, and the overall ability to provide a wonderful venue for a wedding. The food was fantastic, the sushi chef that Jeno brought in was fantastic, and the set-up was perfect for our 155 person wedding. Would recommend to anyone!

Jeno Steiner made our wedding perfect! He was always quick to respond, provided us with a list of vendors (transportation, etc) that proved to be very high quality, and basically organized everything so efficiently that not one thing went slightly wrong the day we were married. The views from the penthouse are beautiful, and most of all the food was all servied timely, hot, and everyone loved it. We couldn't believe the price when we first started looking for a wedding venue, it seemed too good to be true! I highly recommend the Manhattan Penthouse to anyone looking for a great NYC wedding at a great price.

We recently had our wedding at the Alger House. Guests raved that it was "magical" and "elegant". The positive outcome was in no small part due to the hard work of Sam (the owner) and Glen (the maitre d') combined with the beautiful setting of the Alger House. Guests also highly praised the Dominican food cooked by Chef Dimas. We loved it, too! Sam was extremely flexible and patient during the entire planning process, which was complicated by the fact that we were planning it from overseas. From start to finish, our experience at the Alger House was a positive one. I would highly recommend the Alger House to anyone planning an intimate (small) wedding in NYC.

We had our wedding at the Manhattan Penthouse on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We only had six weeks to plan it and it would not have been possible without Jeno Steiner. He was simply amazing. Jeno knows his stuff and is a very patient guide. We had many guests from out of town and the Penthouse views and food were amazing. Highly recommend Jeno and the Manhattan Penthouse.

I had my wedding at Alger House on a beautiful September day. Monika, the catering manager, was fantastic. She put together a lovely event at a price that was within my budget. The staff was professional and served delicious food. The loft was whimsically decorated with various nooks for my guests to explore. And best of all, I was able to have my 90-person wedding in a venue that didn't out-size the occasion. I'll always remember the day as being intimate, romantic and fun. Note to local brides: photos of the place don't do it justice. If you live near the West Village, I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by in person.

Manhattan penthouse was a great choice for us, we wanted a view in a clean space and didn't want to spend crazy amounts of money. they were extremely flexible with customizing the menu, i even picked my beer, and everyone i talked to loved the food. i also had a few people tell me that the staff was a bit rude during the reception but that's the only complaint i really have.

Our wedding was fantastic. I cannot say enough great things about the Penthouse. Jeno Steiner was always quick to answer any questions, and he was so easy and fun to work with. The big beautiful windows are impressive, especially at night. I was looking for a raw space with a manhattan feel, and that is what I got from this venue. I was nervous about the capacity at first, but we pulled off a great party with 200 people. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Very happy : )

We just had the most perfect wedding reception at Alger House. Located on a charming street in the West Village,this beautiful carriage house enchanted us all. From the superb food, premium bar, extraordinary maitre'd and attentive servers,everything exceeded our expectations. It is a rare gem. Our family and friends will remember this occasion for many years to come. Everyone is still raving.

I just had my wedding for about 170 people at Manhattan Penthouse and it was fantastic! The guests were in awe of the views. The room while empty doesn't look like much transforms into a magnificent ballroom for an affair. The dance floor is a great size. The food is superb but what really makes this place special is the catering executive - Jeno Steiner. He is simply outstanding - his patience, responsiveness and knowledge are unparalleled. He can put anyone at ease and it's not just words - my wedding was seamless. Everything happened the way it should. It truly is a spectacular place to get married!

Great venue and location in NYC. Everything went as planned except that they mistakenly threw out the top of our Wedding cake. This is the one negative on the venue.

Beautiful views, central location, fabulous food and great service. Jeno Steiner was very responsive. The wait staff were wonderful. Everyone has commented on how beautiful the place looked and how amazing it was to see the room transformed from the ceremony to the reception so quickly. Hors d'oeuvres were plentiful and delicious. The 3 course meal was very good for a wedding. Usually the food at a wedding is poor to passable. This was actually very good. Highly recommend.

The food was great, the space beautiful, and Monika was amazing. At first she seemed less enthusiastic than other people we'd met with, but it turns out that's just because she's superwoman and has it all handled. Highly recommended.

Beautiful wedding, many guests said it was best ever, laid back venue. Manager, Jeno Steiner is amazing

I cannot speak highly enough of this venue or its manager, Monika. She was a consummate professional. Pricing was competive and gave us an excellent value for what we spent. We had the cosmopolitan, NY loft atmosphere but with all the accoutrements (lighting, full bar/catering service) already in place. I trusted them to do things as we'd discussed and they did. Serviing staff were excellent and they were generous with the bar and appetizers. I had the wedding of my dreams in a venue optimally located for friends and family from NYC and beyond. I absolutely recommend the Manhattan Penthouse.

The Manhattan Penthouse was a perfect setting for our wedding. The views are amazing, the food is delicious and the staff very attentive. Jeno Steiner is fantastic! He responds immediately, makes everything feel easy and has a great eye for detail without ever feeling pushy. He allowed us to just relax and enjoy the party knowing that no details were being missed.

Food was great and the photos came out lovely.

We visited this venue after attending a wedding at the Alger House. It's very historic and is perfect for weddings up to 125 guests. The skylight on the second level is just lovely and the main dining room has a lot of character. The surrounding neightborhood in the West Village is also full of charm. A must see.

I could never have dreamed of having a more perfect wedding! We wanted a venue where we could get married at the same place as the reception that had terrific views of the city. We found it with the Manhattan Penthouse. Jeno was so easy to work with. He has ran over 1000 weddings and it really showed. His professionalism and responsiveness made the day less hectic. The food was great. We got to choose about 7 apps and had a choice of Chilean Sea Bass or Filet Mignon for dinner. everyone said the food was god and no one left hungry. Also, it was conveniently located near Union Square. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue anyone who is looking for a quintessential NYC wedding.

I was completely satisfied with the venue. The ecclectic of the Alger House was perfect for a city wedding. The food was excellent and the service was great. Monika and Glenn were both a great help.

This is probably one of the best values you can get in the city. I had my reception at Manhattan Penthouse (we had a church ceremony). It is a beautiful penthouse location with a gorgeous view, great dance floor, great amenities and a great lay-out, for up to 250 people. I could not believe the price they quoted for me, it seemed to good to be true for New York City standards, and I had contacted a LOT of venues. Jeno Steiner, the Catering Executive, is a consummate professional who really knows what he is doing, down to the details of timing of event details. My husband and I felt so safe and comfortable knowing that he was overseeing the event. Jeno was extremely responsive to all my questions until the very last minute. Then the food! The food was amazing (and hot) - we got so many compliments from our guests about the location and the food. We had a sushi chef for the cocktail reception, which Jeno had recommended, and Manhattan Penthouse did not charge a surcharge. We were also able to bring our own cake from a French Patisserie without being charged any surcharges or cutting fees by Manhattan Penthouse.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. I was apprehensive about signing because I couldn't find many reviews from brides. I thought there must be a "catch" but I was beyond satisfied with the whole process. Every aspect was amazing, the view, the food, the service. I have not one bad thing to say about the Manhattan Penthouse.

I didn't find a lot of comments about this vendor, so I took a chance. I was sooooooo pleasantly surprised! The site manager, Jeno Steiner, was amazing. He really worked with me from start to finish to make a beautiful reception. He was very flexible and quickly responded to my every question. Everyone talked about how lovely the food & views were. My budget wasn't extremely high, and I was a little worried I wouldn't have enough food, but the food was plentiful and it was excellent quality. My only concern was that one of the choices of food ran out, so if you book this place make sure you indicate which dish you expect will be the most popular so they have enough. It wasn't that big of a deal, though, only 1 person mentioned to me she didn't get her 1st choice entree. The wait staff was also really nice and let us come in early. I don't think you would be disappointed if you chose this site for your wedding!!

Beautiful venue with a great service staff and outstanding food. However, the planner we were assigned was a bit condescending and difficult to work with. We received numerous comments from guests and other vendors on the "snotty" attitude he seems to have chosen to adopt in his approach. I would definitely recommend this beautiful location for your event, but be prepared for a bit of attitude along the way.

Everyone commented on how amazing our food was, "especially for a wedding." Also you could not have a more amazing backdrop then the view of the Manhattan skyline. Smokers beware, you have to take a smaller, not so fast elevator to the street level for your cigarette.

Truly, I cannot say enough about Manhattan Penthouse. I first went to a holiday party there shortly after it opened (which was probably 10 years before my wedding) and from that day on, I KNEW that was where I wanted to get married. Within minutes of meeting Jeno Steiner (all those many years later) I knew my wedding was going to be an amazing night. And he did not disappoint. He was so easy to work with, very responsive to all my questions and needs and totally accommodating. The view, the food, the staff . . . and especially Jeno, made it truly an unbelievably special night. And to this day, Jeno has become an extremely close friend and I would recommend both him and Manhattan Penthouse to anyone wanting a truly special experience for their wedding.
