We had the best wedding at the bordone - the team was so communicative and flexible - we booked 3 months out and they gave us the space and time to create the most magical evening.

We had our wedding at the Bordone in May and we could not recommend the space more!!!! The team was absolutely amazing to work with. They were easy to communicate with and were around on the day to make sure set up went smoothly and our guests knew where to go. You can fully transform the inside to however you want it to look, and the views on the balcony were incredible. It was the perfect NYC wedding. Our guests cannot stop posting photos of the skyline. We are so so so happy we went with the Bordone!!!

We had an amazing experience working with the Bordone as our wedding venue. It is such a beautiful space and the whole team working there is communicative, always takes your calls, is open to your feedback and questions, and invested deeply in you having the most amazing wedding. A special thank you to Hector for being there on our wedding day and being so sweet to us and each and every one of our guests. They accommodated our large (220 guests) interfaith, two ceremony and two meal wedding day with ease. Highly recommend getting married here!

Our wedding at The Bordone LIC was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to their incredibly organized and attentive staff. From the moment we chose this venue, the team there ensured that every aspect of our event was smooth and seamless. They coordinated with all of our vendors, ensuring that everyone had what they needed to make our day perfect. The Bordone LIC itself is a breathtaking space, the multi-floor structure includes abundant outdoor areas, making it ideal for hosting all our wedding events in one location. We held our ceremony outdoors, where the views were absolutely stunning, creating a magical backdrop for our vows. The cocktail hour was set upstairs, offering both indoor and outdoor options. The reception took place in the spacious main area, which accommodated our 182 guests comfortably. We concluded our celebration with an after-party back upstairs, which offered a more intimate setting and allowed our friends the convenience of not having to change locations. We've received countless compliments on the venue, particularly about the exceptional views and the beautiful setup. Choosing The Bordone LIC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we highly recommend it to any couple.
