For the past few years, couples have decided to forgo large wedding and opt for something intimate. Some folks are calling these events micro weddings, others mini weddings. And I’ve seen minimony, too. Whatever you call it, there are some wonderful venues in Manhattan offering small wedding packages. Here are four great options in Manhattan -- City Winery, Merchant’s House Museum, The Beekman Hotel & Il Fiorista.

As a wedding officiant, I have performed ceremonies in all of them and know for a fact that they offer grand views or amazing ambience and wonderful hospitality! Once you have your venue selected, please reach out to discuss your ceremony.

City Winery

City Winery has 2 modern spaces right on the Hudson River; City Vineyard at Pier 26 in Tribeca and City Winery NYC at Pier 57 in Chelsea. Both locations offer custom packages accommodating both brunch, cocktail-style and dinner micro-weddings.
