Amazing venue with breathtaking view of Manhattan
We had an incredible experience at Sound River Studios. The venue itself is one of the most unique in the city, with stunning views of the skyline and a layout that feels both expansive and intimate. Una and her entire team were fantastic from start to finish—always responsive, professional, and eager to help. Una was especially helpful in navigating our questions and unique requests with ease and clarity. Edo made our drink selections a breeze, and the bartenders were friendly and efficient throughout the night. We also appreciated the extra guidance Una provided during our visits, helping us select the right vendors and giving us great advice on logistics. For couples considering using the public pier, be sure to apply for a permit under Gordon Triangle (the pier itself isn't listed by name). Sound River’s website was also incredibly thorough—we found many of our initial questions were already answered there. This venue is truly one-of-a-kind and gave us the perfect backdrop for our day. Highly recommend!
Event Planner hosted event
We hosted my son's Mitzvah party at Sound River Studios and could not have had a better experience. The space itself is incredibly versatile; it transformed perfectly for our event and truly felt custom to us. What really stood out was the communication and flexibility. Una was responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making everything run smoothly. She made the planning process easy and stress-free, which is priceless when you’re juggling a big celebration. The night flowed beautifully, the energy was amazing, and the space delivered on every level. If you’re looking for a venue that’s modern and adaptable, Sound River Studios is a standout! Highly recommend.
Amazing Views and Hospitality!
Sound River Studios is a beautiful venue - the NYC skyline views are unbeatable! It’s such a magical backdrop for a celebration. Una is incredible to work with—super organized, responsive, and just genuinely lovely. She made the whole day run smoothly and was a total pro from start to finish. Edo and the bar team were incredible, very hospitable and worked with us on the bar and delicious specialty cocktail. Amazing space and hospitality through the whole process!
Amazing Views and Location.
Sound River Studios is the perfect place for a large event or spectacular wedding! The views of Manhattan are the best in the entire city, the space itself is huge and can be styled to any vision - from boho chic to elegant WOW to understated modern. We love catering here and working with Una and her team!
