The Bordone LIC — Attraction in New York

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Bordone, and we still can't stop thinking about it. We had our wedding on a Friday afternoon/evening in August for about 120 guests.

THE SPACE There were three things we envisioned for our wedding: (1) for it to be a love letter to NYC, the city my husband and I fell in love in, (2) for it to include an art gallery of works by our guests, and (3) for it to be a PARTY. I can't think of a space more fitting for our vision than the Bordone. The view of the city is unmatched; it was the perfect backdrop that undoubtedly took our guests' breaths away—whether they were locals or from out of town. There's no feeling to describe what it's like to turn the corner from the elevators of the third floor, step outside, and have the entire skyline open up into view. The indoor spaces of the Bordone were equally perfect for our event: the space is open and wide, offering flexibility to design however you'd like, without being so expansive that it's overwhelming to fill. The third floor was the perfect size to accommodate an art gallery of 16 works of different media, lounge seating, and a dance floor that always felt full but never cramped. The multiple floors presented even more opportunities for us to play with the guest experience, keeping things exciting as we moved them from one activity to the next.

THE HOSPITALITY Throughout the entire process from touring to booking to the wedding day itself, we had the pleasure of working with Ashley and Hector from the Bordone team. There aren't enough words to describe how helpful, thoughtful, and kind they were every step of the way. Even when we didn't know what questions to ask or were stuck in the planning process, they offered proactive guidance that truly helped us to the finish line. On the day of the wedding, both Ashley and Hector were present to ensure things ran smoothly. However, they went above and beyond in continuing to offer their expertise to our vendor teams, making sure every detail received care and attention and that things could be more than perfect. They even regularly checked in on my husband and me throughout the day to make sure we were hydrated, fed, and feeling good—small gestures that had a big impact in enabling us to be present throughout the day to soak in all the memories.

We are so, so grateful to the Bordone team for helping us have the BEST wedding we...

We were very lucky to have our multi-day fusion Bangladeshi Hindu- Italian American wedding at the Bordone in April 2021. The Bordone being basically a blank canvas helped us transform the place into 2 completely different vibes and it was a wedding dream come true! How could you not love the unobstructed view of the skyline as the backdrop for your wedding ceremonies! With a blank canvas also comes a lot of work since multiple vendors need to come together to put together your vision- the team at the Bordone (Mary and Kimberly) were so helpful, responsive and accommodating to everything that needed to be done to make our vision for the weekend come to life! There were so many questions and concerns that go into putting the wedding together and they were also so communicative. On the days of, Hector was the manager and he did a ton of work making sure all the vendors were able to load and unload, manning the elevator (they only have 1 but you can have a super elaborate wedding with it) and checking in with the vendors as well as us! I truly felt that the team here was invested in making our wedding amazing. Moreover, it was seamless to move my wedding from 2020 to this year. All of our vendors had a great time working with this venue and I highly recommend this space for any customized event that you want. Our wedding was highly customized and the venue fit everything we wanted. Also during COVID times it was super nice to have both an indoor and outdoor space to host our event in. Our wedding guests were in love with the venue and we are so so happy and lucky to be able to host our...
