When it comes to New York weddings, few backdrops rival the magic of a skyline view. From sweeping panoramas of Lower Manhattan to glittering rooftop terraces with the Empire State Building in sight, these venues make the city itself part of the celebration.

We’ve rounded up NYC-area venues that offer city views — from rooftops in Brooklyn to penthouses in Midtown — with a breakdown of their latest available pricing. All of the numbers below come directly from venue-provided materials, so you’ll know exactly what to expect when you tour.

Planning a wedding in New York City often means balancing a dream view with your budget. While some venues like Brooklyn Grange or Celestine lean toward intimate gatherings with farm-to-table charm or a riverside setting, others such as Tribeca Rooftop, Rainbow Room, and Vesper are built for grand productions with per-person packages, food and beverage minimums, and exclusivity fees. Across the board, service charges and taxes (ranging from 20–25% plus 8.875% sales tax) add a substantial layer to costs, so it’s worth running the math carefully. The good news: whether you’re envisioning a 70-guest brunch with skyline views or a full-scale 400-guest ballroom celebration, NYC has a city-view venue that can fit the vision — as long as you know the numbers upfront.
