Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A $50-million restoration has brought back the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building's original beauty, making the 1911 landmark a spectacular place for a wedding.
- Seven exquisite event spaces transport you to another place and time. They feature a dazzling variety of features, from the vaulted ceiling and white marble walls in Astor Hall to the glorious 30-foot-high glass and cast-iron dome in the Bartos Forum.
- Your event fees go to a good cause: They help support the Library's collections, services and programs.
