Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Originally built in 1928 as a luxurious penthouse for James Oviatt, a style icon of the Roaring '20s, this exquisite space still shimmers with Art Deco elegance: etched-glass windows by Gaetan Jeannin, Lalique glass accents, and custom Parisian furnishings.
- Celebrations seamlessly flow between the Penthouse and the two-story rooftop terrace. With a plush getting ready room, study, and original bar and cocktail lounge, the indoor space exudes a classic charm; the terrace is equally stunning, whether covered with a clear tent or left open to the sweet evening air.
- The team at Olive & Grand bring a personal touch to every event—in fact, the owners celebrated their own wedding here! There are a host of flexible package options, meaning it's easy to create your perfect day, from an intimate DIY shindig to a grand, all-inclusive gathering of up to 120 guests.
