My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Roosevelt Hotel this past May. We partially choose this location for our wedding because our ceremony was at Saint Patrick's cathedral right around the corner but also because the ballroom is breathtakingly gorgeous. The high ceilings and old-world romance is unparallelled by any other venue that we looked at in Manhattan.
While planning our wedding, I was in constant communication with my coordinator at the Roosevelt, Ferinoosh. I was so fortunate to have Ferinoosh help me plan our wedding. She really went above and beyond her job as coordinator, often given me advice on vendors, visions, and insider tips. Once we got closer to the wedding, Ferinoosh and I spoke nearly every single day. Since I had a very elaborate wedding, there were many vendors and details to coordinate. On the night of our reception, she was there still overseeing everything and making sure all went to planned.
There were a few mishaps, but nothing that would make me regret our decision to have our reception at the Roosevelt Hotel. First, our wine (which we paid extra to upgrade) ended up being wrong and down-grading - A very sad detail for my wine-loving father. When Ferinoosh realized what had happened, she felt very badly and compensated with us extra add-ons. We had an extra hour of our reception as well as after dinner cordials which were both greatly appreciated! Additionally, our special champagne flutes were misplaced after the reception but luckily they were returned to us a few weeks (or maybe months...) after the wedding.
I would highly, highly recommend having your wedding reception at the Roosevelt Hotel. Ferinoosh and the rest of the staff worked extremely hard with my husband and I on making our wedding day perfect and unique.
My favorite things about my reception at the Roosevelt Hotel:
-Ferinoosh, a hands-on, one of a kind wedding coordinator
-Value, way, way cheaper than any of the other large reception venues in Manhattan
-Delicious food during the cocktail hour and dinner
-SYLVIA WEINSTOCK WEDDING CAKE, all included with your catering package
-Beautiful, romantic ballroom that holds large weddings
