Not your average public library ... set in the heart of the city on Fifth Avenue, is the amazing New York Public
Library. This venue is not just
for books, it is for celebrations.
Upon arrival you first notice the vast marble steps that lead to this historic
building. Once inside the towering
Georgian columns welcome you to this grand
foyer. The library offer multiple locations that can be used for events. My favorite space is the main foyer,
that you enter off Fifth Avenue – the majestic entrance allows you to
embrace the old-world setting or create a hip-chic vibe. The Celeste Bartos forum has a wonderful
glass domed ceiling that makes the whole experience magical. Each event space tells a different story.
The use of lighting is critical
in this space. We love to highlight the columns of this venue and also accent
the best features of the library. Votives
are a great touch to enhance the steps when you arrive and lighting the
front of the building, welcomes your guests to this unique venue..
Dining tables set amongst the
columns adds to the atmosphere. We love to name the tables after books or authors, after all your in the New York Public Library. We have even placed the escort cards in the drawers of the old
card filing system to find your seat.
This event space should not be
overlooked. It offers a myriad of possibilities and lends itself to every type
of wedding. The simplicity allows
you to be creative in the design every aspect of the wedding.
Since the space is rental
venue, you are able to bring in your own caterers (approval required by the
Library) and your own event professionals. Keep in mind
when using the main foyer, the event set up time is very limited due to the
fact that the library has to close
to the public, prior to be allowed to set up.
