(Hosted wedding 12/14/24) This place was perfect for a small intimate wedding or whatever event that fits your budget. The view of the city is amazing, the staff was very nice and very accommodating to your needs, especially Bill the coordinator.

love how beautiful this place is and their food quality, I usually don’t have high hopes for wedding venues serving great food but they did not let that slip! Delicious food and pretty platting. Servers were really nice and always on top of everything, shout out to them. They made the bride and groom really happy, could tell they LOVED it .

We were so happy to host our wedding at Vista Penthouse. We were immediately drawn to the beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline from the rooftop where we held the ceremony and penthouse area for reception. We booked the date over a year in advance and were offered an extremely affordable rate with nearly full service included from the Vista Penthouse staff (who set up the ceremony seating for ~90 people, quickly transitioned to a cocktail hour on the rooftop, set up the reception in the penthouse, served a multi-course plated dinner, and held an open bar for both cocktail hour and reception without any problems). Food and service were great throughout the entire event! There were many options and our guests were impressed by all of them (including hors d’oeuvres during the cocktail hour all the way through coffee/desserts at the end of the reception). They were extremely accommodating of dietary restrictions. Mike and Bill were exceptionally helpful during the planning process, and even moreso on the day of the wedding where they assisted with coordination (we didn’t have a day-of coordinator and they were extremely familiar with timing and logistics of the venue). They are very detail oriented, were always checking in on us throughout the event and coordinating with our various vendors, even packing us leftovers since we were only able to get a few bites to eat throughout the entire wedding. Overall we would highly recommend Vista Penthouse for anyone looking for an affordable, beautiful venue for any event! (Photos by Tyler at Scratch Studios!)
