When it comes to memorable weddings, New York City is a popular destination for couples to say, “I do.” Not only does the iconic city skyline serve as a stunning backdrop, but the vibrancy of Manhattan and all its offerings is simply electric. Hosting an event in the Big Apple can be expensive. One unique idea for having a beautiful wedding in the city that can be more budget-friendly is having a brunch wedding! Start the most important day of your life on the right foot, allowing you to celebrate the entire day.

When it comes to finding New York City brunch wedding venues, it can be challenging to find the perfect one. Many places strive to incorporate the city’s signature landmarks, such as One World Trade Center, the Brooklyn Bridge, or Ellis Island. Finding the complete package isn’t easy, except when you choose City Cruises. With us, you can have it all while enjoying the best views from the East and Hudson Rivers.

 

 

Why a Brunch Wedding in New York City Makes Sense

When it comes to planning a wedding, there are so many elements to consider. From location and timing to party size, style, menus, and, most importantly, budget, the planning experience can be stressful. It’s why many couples opt for a brunch wedding, which can include other benefits, such as cost-effectiveness and versatility.

First of all, the atmosphere is more casual (yet still sophisticated) during a daytime celebration. Second, the event is often more memorable and unique for guests, especially when the experience takes place on the water. Third, evening weddings in New York can be pricey, but when you choose a brunch wedding with City Cruises, the potential savings could make all the difference. The catering, entertainment, and additional amenities—including add-ons like a photographer, videographer, and flowers—can help couples maintain their budget and save money. Lastly, because brunch can be an event designed however you like, the range of menu options, flexible dress codes, and themes come together with ease.

Where You’ll Find The Perfect Brunch Menu

Let’s be honest: One of the most important parts of any event is the food and drinks. Without appealing options to whet appetites and quench thirst, guests won’t think too fondly of the experience. Thankfully, that’s never an issue with City Cruises. With our variety of brunch dishes and buffet options, we have cuisine and beverages covered. From passed hors d’oeuvres and culinary stations to a chef-prepared buffet or a sit-down, multi-course plated meal with table service, tastebuds will be tantalized. We can also accommodate special dietary restrictions, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. The full-bar selection includes handcrafted specialty cocktails, wines, and beers, including mimosas and Bloody Marys, lots of bubbly, and specialty coffee and tea stations. Our skilled bartenders can also create a signature drink that adds a personal touch to the day.

 

Where You’ll Enjoy Exceptional Entertainment and Activities

Wedding events can’t be just food, beverages, and beautiful views. City Cruises offers options for live bands or DJs as entertainment to set the mood. Whether the vibe is soothing sounds for the sail or upbeat tunes to drive guests to the dancefloor, the soundtrack will provide a good vibe for everyone. But that’s not all; we also provide interactive activities where guests can get their game on, and couples can add photo booths and guest books to commemorate the occasion. For those eager to kick back and relax, lounge areas and sun decks are the ideal spots for mingling and making memories.

 

Take In Scenic Highlights

Sit in our comfy climate-controlled interiors or spend time on our expansive open-air exterior decks.
