Bridgewaters

Bridgewaters was amazing. It was the perfect venue for two NYC natives who wanted to celebrate their wedding in the perfect NYC setting...the South St. Seaport. With a view of the Brooklyn Bridge as we were getting married who could ask for more? Well, there is more! Bridgewaters had amazing food and the service from the staff was impeccable. My husband and I never regretted making the decision to have our wedding here.

Brittani Gural and all the staff at Bridgewater's were fabulous and a real pleasure to work with! They made our wedding day picture perfect. We had our ceremony and reception there. Our wedding day went by so smooth because they are extremely professional and on top of everything. We did not have to worry about a thing. And the food and service was top-notch!

Bridgewaters is the best. The most beautiful view of South Street Seaport and the Brooklyn Bridge. The food was great and so was the service. I wish someone else I knew would get married there so I could go back.

When I first booked with Bridgewaters, I had been working with Brittani. As the months passed, I finally contacted her one day to ask her something, and I was given a reply that said she had left and they were looking for someone who would be available for my wedding day. I was a little peeved at first since I had not received any email or phone call to let me know this. However, soon after, I heard from Eva and a few weeks later, I met her in person. She is FANTASTIC! Professional, sweet, smart and extremely prompt and organized. She eased any hesitations I had and from the spring up until my wedding, she made the rest of the planning easy and stress free. Eva handled every last detail I mentioned to her, including the scattered rhinestones I wanted on our wedding cake to placing bows on our favor boxes when they arrived the day of. There were two things that did annoy both my husband and I. We had mentioned that our guests would be arriving a little ahead of the scheduled cocktail hour time and we wanted to have the room ready to allow guests to come right up and get a drink. When we arrived at the wedding, half of our guests were waiting outside the building or in the lobby. When we asked them why they were not upstairs, they informed us that the staff told them they were not allowed up. We were upset, especially since this was our first issue we dealt with upon arrival. The other thing that bothered us was that the stations that were set up during the cocktail hour would keep running out of food and people would have to wait for it to be refilled. There were also long lines at the raw bar and pasta station. My suggestion would be to split up the stations and have 2 of each, one on each side of the room. This will create less congestion and an overall nicer and organized cocktail hour. Aside from these two things, Bridgewaters is a terrific place to get married. I chose it because I fell in love with the views and I had heard the food was good. The views obviously stayed the same from when I booked it, but I have to say that the food just wasn't good, it was great! I did try as much as I could, but every guest has still been going on about how delicious the food was at both the cocktail hour and the entree. Our attendant, Andrew, was so accomodating and he made sure we brought home our top tier of our cake, along with the cookies. Overall, my experience with Bridgewaters was a very positive one and I would definitely recommend the place to anyone that wants a great venue.

Bridgwaters was an amazing venue. We got so many compliments from our guests. The staff was so accomodating. They provided a bridal attendant the day of the wedding who made sure that the bride and groom and all of our parents were extremely well cared for. They were incredibly responsive to all of our last minute requests. The night went seamlessly. Also, the food was wonderful and our cake, made by them was beautiful and delicious!

Bridgwaters is a beautiful venue in a wonderful historic area of Manhattan. The location is great and so unique (great for pictures)... and gets guests out the hussle and bustle you have in some of the other areas of the city. I had my wedding in the Museum Club (the smaller of the two available rooms), and it has so many great assets. The views of wall street, Pier 17 and the east river are wonderful. There is a balcony that wraps around the entire length of the room (south and west facing), so on a nice day it's perfect (and they offer a grilling station set up outside during cocktail hour that was a HUGE hit). And there are wooden boats hanging from the ceiling that really give the space a unique charm...Our coordinator, Brittani, was wonderful. She was really helpful, answered every last one of my questions and was prompt in her responses. They day of the wedding she took care of everything, from coordinating all the vendors all the way down to placing the programs on the seats for the ceremony. The staff that worked our event was also great and very professional. They were literally at our beck and call and kept the evening moving smoothly -- we didn't have one hiccup. I have to specifically call our our Attendant, Andrew. He was there to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed throughout that night and he went above and beyond... I was never without a fresh glass of champagne in my hand and he even sent us home with some of the passed desserts b/c he knew we were too busy to eat them that night! All of our guests commented on both the quality of the food and the high level of service they recieved all night. If I were to have my wedding all over again, I'd do it at Bridgewaters without a doubt.

Beth was wonderful. We loved our Bridgewaters experience. The view was unbeatable and the service and food were perfect. The cake was gorgeous and so delicious. Our attendant was such a love. They were pretty flexible with the prices/menu and worked with us when our guest list dipped below our guaranteed minimum.My only complaint is that the mojito, our signature cocktail hour drink, was awful...

We really wanted a NYC wedding with the view of the Brooklyn Bridge. The venue is gorgeous!!!! The food is good and not overbearing. The cake was gorgeous and tasted amazing!!!Brittani helped us with whatever we needed up to the wedding day. She worked with us to provide our guests with what we envisioned. We even left our cake top (anniversary cake) there and held onto it until after our honeymoon.The one complaint that I have is that the day of coordinator was no where to be found. I think I was supposed to have a different coordinator and he got sick. This person was not around to "foresee" what I might need. Maybe she was new. Overall, the venue and the people were great!!!! The views are like no other and the food was terrific!
