Waterfront Wedding Vendors in New York

A waterfront wedding in New York frames the city across the water — DUMBO and Brooklyn Bridge Park with the bridge and Manhattan skyline, the piers along the Hudson, or a view of the Statue of Liberty at sunset. The vendors who do these celebrations — planners, caterers, and photographers — know the waterfront spaces. Post your wedding for free, and waterfront wedding vendors send you proposals directly.

What to know

Frame the skyline

The bridge, the harbor, and the Manhattan skyline make the backdrop. A photographer who knows the spot plans for sunset over the water.

Pick your view

DUMBO, Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Hudson piers, and the Battery each offer a different angle. Note your guest count and vendors will suggest options.

Plan for breeze and a backup

The water brings wind and weather can turn. Note that you would like a tent or indoor option and vendors will arrange it.
