11 Beautiful Micro Wedding Venues in NYC

Looking for micro wedding venues in NYC for your upcoming minimony? We’re glad to hear it since that’s precisely what we at Peerspace share with you below! The intimate nature of a micro wedding not only comes with less stress but a Covid-safe up-and-coming trend. While the ceremony may be small, it gives way to a mighty venue and presentation. After all, 300 people would be difficult to orchestrate on a highrise balcony in Manhattan or on a boat sailing down the Hudson.

Choosing the right venue is one of those challenges key to a beautiful execution of a wedding. In NYC, the myriad of options can be overwhelming. Breaking the multitude of locations down into themes, like a riverboat with a Financial District backdrop, eases that anxiety. So, let us meander down that wedding planning list and make choosing micro wedding venues in NYC a whole lot easier.

1. Queens from a rooftop

Commencing the list is a beautiful rooftop in the heart of Queens. With summer fast approaching and warm weather hitting Queens once again, a rooftop micro wedding in NYC might be the way to go. This large space can be transformed from a breathtaking ceremony to an enthralling reception. Working in that creativity and New York magic into the wedding will shine through, elevating spirits well beyond the height of the rooftop terrace.

One of the best parts about using Peerspace is that you can read reviews left by previous renters before booking a space. Here’s an example of a user review for this Queens rooftop: “Amazing experience!!! Aside from this venue being so beautiful the owners Rego and his wife were incredible hosts. They both really go above and beyond to help you bring everything you imagine come together. Highly recommend anyone that’s looking to throw a great and stress free party to book with them! You won’t regret it.” Book it here on Peerspace!

2. Contemporary opulence

Situated in the heart of midtown Manhattan is a hidden expanse of luxury and class. This venue breathes refined quality with its spacious capacity for both ceremony and dining. Yet this venue keeps giving, with added terraces on either side, gifting guests with the option of ceremony location and unique photo opportunities. The marble features mixed with the gray pillar offer contemporary stylistic elements. All this amounts to injections of sophistication amongst artistic themes, making a prime micro wedding venue in NYC.

In the words of a Peerspace reviewer: “The space was amazing and exactly as pictured. The views were great and my guests were all pleased. Shannen was above and beyond. She was so responsive and helpful with recommendations for rentals needed for the space. I would absolutely book again and recommend them to colleagues in NYC.”

3. Refined history

The magic of this NYC mansion is in its history. Built in 1853, this shabby chic textured, sculpture-filled mansion brings character to any wedding.

From exposed brickwork in the living areas to the outdoor swimming pool, this palace has modernism woven into its refined history.

Each floor carries new waves of unique design — some brimming with artwork and others with period furniture. A micro wedding here seems like another world compared to others. And you can book it right here.

4. Victorian vows

Another micro wedding venue in NYC goes back to Victorian Britain. This house sits large and modest in Bogota, New Jersey, a 20-minute drive from the heart of midtown Manhattan. The impressiveness of the bright blue house extends to its modern interior.

Although all of that is overshadowed by the rear of the house and the subsequent garden. Teaming with an abundant mixture of flowery plant life, the garden emits a peaceful amenity.
