Ravel Events — Local services in New York

When people say, where do I even begin, my parents, my husband and myself truly mean this. We started working with Eman in April of 2022 and after our site visit and meeting Eman in person, we knew this was the space, the venue, and the team we wanted behind us on our special day.

The Venue: The venue itself is absolutely stunning, it has this industrial chic feel to it and is a palette that any style will take to. The Penthouse is really the hook - the day we visited, it was a rare 70 degree day, the roof was open and we were overlooking the entire city skyline and the bridge. This space alone was when we knew this is where we’d have our wedding. The views from the Penthouse are incredible and your guests will love it - both day and night and highly recommend hosting your after party here. The pictures we have together as bride and groom from here are just breath taking. We also stayed onsite for our wedding weekend which I highly recommend. As the bride, I booked the Estate Suite - which if you’re getting ready for hair and make up, looking to host friends, this is the spot to be! The room is massive, includes a kitchen area, plenty of seating and a wrap around balcony for you to enjoy views of Queens and Manhattan.

The Food & Service: I can promise you will absolutely find time to eat if you host your wedding at Ravel. The food is delicious and creative. When we went for our tasting, we truly didn’t want the meal to end. Our guests raved about every bite of food they had throughout the night! For the reception meals, we had a few vegans which was totally a non issue for the Ravel catering team and servers. The cocktail hour, dinner service and bartenders were also just fabulous and professional. We were only a wedding of roughly 115 but there was never a wait at the bar - very important!

The Team: This is the MOST important piece I want to highlight, Eman and the Ravel Team. They truly went above and beyond. Eman from day one was extremely responsive, answered every single last question we had - always putting us at ease and making us feel even more confident in the decision to host our wedding at Ravel. Eman throughout the entire planning process introduced us to a handful of vendors and was how we found our photography and officiant! She continually offered to take things off my plate and was quick to partner with my other vendors as she wanted to ensure it was smooth sailing leading up to the big day. It was truly a pleasure working with Eman, she went above and beyond, we are so grateful and appreciative of her! The entire team, Chelsea, Stephen, Julissa, Betsy, and Miranda - provided top notch service. They ensure you truly have the best day from start to finish. You can feel the passion from this team and their internal communication is seamless. Put your trust in this group because they will make your dream day come to life!...

My husband and I got married in May 2025 at the Ravel Hotel and we could not have dreamed of a better experience.

We got engaged in November 2023 and started venue hunting shortly after. Since our relationship began in NYC, we were looking for a venue that felt connected to the city— either located in Manhattan or overlooking / with a city-like aesthetic. We had a few tours lined up and Ravel happened to be the first. By the end of the tour we knew we had found our venue and canceled all the others.

After inquiring about the venue, we were quick to meet Eman, who is the event coordinator, but more importantly as we joked (but is true) a magician, a visionary, a saint, and most importantly a friend.

Throughout the planning process, Eman was incredible. She was always composed and finding solutions. It was never a “no” but always “let’s see what we can do”. She led the design of the ballroom and even though we only came to her with a few scattered ideas, she transformed them into the most stunning aesthetic.

On the wedding day, she was everywhere and everything all at once, quietly handling the details and constantly checking in on us. We were also surrounded by a phenomenal team on the day of (Anna, Miranda, and Jadelyn) who were just as excellent as Eman and always making sure things were going smoothly.

The Ravel Hotel gave us a multi-level experience that made each part of the event feel exciting and new while still logistically simple being that everything was within the same hotel. We held our ceremony on the rooftop overlooking the NYC skyline, had cocktail hour in the penthouse, moved to the ballroom for the reception, and finished the night with an after-party back in the penthouse. Each space felt distinct but flowed together beautifully.

The food was unbelievable — better than the menu tasting. We had sushi amongst other things during cocktail hour which was a huge hit. Everyone commented on how great the food was (and how much of it there was). We were also able to bring in Joe’s Pizza for the afterparty to make it a true NYC weekend.

Many of our guests stayed at the Ravel and had great things to say about the spacious, clean, and modestly priced hotel rooms—a huge plus for the 100 or so guests we had traveling in for the weekend.

We are endlessly grateful to Eman and the entire Ravel team and staff. They made our wedding day more than anything we could have ever imagined. It was perfection. If you’re considering this venue, do it. It was the best decision we...

Before getting married at the Ravel, my husband planned the most perfect engagement on the roof of the venue with the help of Eman. We loved the venue and working with Eman so much that we decided to book our wedding there as well in September of 2023. Words cannot even begin to explain how happy we are with this decision. Because of Eman, Jadelyn and the amazing team at the Ravel, our wedding was truly the best day of our lives. The team executed perfectly on turning our vision into a reality and we were absolutely blown away by how smoothly everything ran on the day of. We had always planned to get married on the roof because of the spectacular views that it offers, but due to some rain in the forecast, we ultimately decided to get married in the foyer. While this was not part of our initial plan, the foyer helped promote an intimate setting that created a beautiful ceremony. Following the ceremony, our guests were seamlessly transported up to the penthouse for the cocktail hour where they were greeted with stunning views of the Queensboro bridge and Manhattan landscape. It was truly a dream come true. To this day, our guests cannot stop raving about how GREAT the food was – especially the sushi bar! Multiple stations offered a wide variety of options and the staff worked extremely efficiently to minimize wait times. Following the cocktail hour, guests were again seamlessly transported back down to the ballroom for the reception. The ballroom would not have looked the way it did without the help of Eman throughout the entire process. She provided us with trustworthy vendors to make sure that our vision came to life, and everything was executed perfectly. From the florals to the table layouts and the placement of the dance floor we were able to easily fit our 225 guests. We could not have planned this night without the help of Eman and the entire team at the Ravel. Jadelyn, our bridal attendant, went above and beyond to make sure everything was running on time and that all of our needs were met throughout the day and night. While this review is long, it doesn’t even begin to describe how grateful we are for the team at the Ravel. We cannot recommend the venue enough and we are hoping that one of our friends books their wedding here so that we can attend another one (as a guest this time!). Thanks again to Eman...
