Yes, you can have both at Waterside Events, so nobody has to drive anywhere. There's a shoreline ceremony site with Manhattan skyline views, and the 3rd Floor works as an indoor ceremony space for up to 230 guests. For your reception, the glass-walled 3rd Floor seats 200 with a dance floor, and the 2nd Floor, which has its own bridal room, seats 130 with a dance floor. Adding an extra hour for your ceremony and setup is $1,500.

Catering and the bar at Waterside Events are both in-house, so your food and drinks come from the Waterside team. Your cake depends on your menu: the Premium Wedding and Signature Dinner menus include a custom tiered cake from the venue's designated bakery, while the Pre-Fix and Waterside Buffet menus let you bring your own cake with no cutting fee.
