tep past the 19th-century wrought-iron gates of The Lighthouse into the warmth of a more gracious time. With river views that include the Statue of Liberty and perhaps even the QE2 passing by, The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers recalls old New York with gleaming period lamps and pressed tin wainscotting. As waves lap at the edge of the all season terrace and wraparound windows frame the river traffic, you truly feel you’re aboard an ocean liner about to embark on a romantic voyage. You can even enjoy your wedding dinner or cocktails outdoors on the terrace, a rare pleasure in Manhattan event sites. The Lighthouse features 10,000 square feet of column-free, lightfilled space to provide the perfect place for weddings or any event hosting 100 to 350 guests. Like Pier Sixty, its nearby sister site, The Lighthouse is under the stewardship of Abigail Kirsch, bringing you distinctive food and service famous for its quality, imagination and good taste. Everything you need or want for your special occasion is here: fine china, crystal, handsome table linens. The Kirsch team pulls it all together for you. Combining a charming atmosphere inside with incredible river views outside, The Lighthouse offers you an imaginative way to get married at sea, without ever leaving dry land.

An architectural gem, it features 7,000 square feet of spectacular duplex dining. Have a romantic cocktail hour on the balconies, overlooking dazzling vistas of candlelit tables 28 feet below. Enchantment also awaits at the top of the stairs, as a baby grand piano fills the room with Renaissance notes. An elegantly designed marble staircase curves toward a gated and centrally located dance floor strewn with candles and rose petals. There is no more beautiful a place for your ceremony, no grander an entrance for you to make. Add to this setting lush drapery, a spacious European style lounge and, of course, cuisine for which the Renaissance has earned its impeccable reputation. Your guests will enjoy studio-quality sound with state of the art digital technology. A 24x24 foot video screen with DVD player enhances the rich sound of the broadcast of your life-history montage or the simulcast of your event. This is what The Renaissance is about: unique dining and spectacular events. They design and host one wedding at a time, with all details tailored to your interest, heritage and taste. Guests will remember your event for three things: ambiance, food and entertainment. Most importantly, you will remember your special occasion as one of the most exciting of your life, because you selected The Renaissance.

As you enter the lobby a lush, 4,000 square feet indoor garden has been created. A magical blend of glass, brass, granite, waterfalls and hundreds of flowers and shrubs form the perfect year-round backdrop for your wedding photographs. Comfortable affairs await you, where knowledgeable catering managers work with you to ensure every detail is covered for your special day. Next, you take your private elevator (only one affair at a time here!) to the ballroom level. Look up. Instantly you realize that this is not a contemporary, antiseptic catering factory. Notice the centerpiece of the room; the crystal chandelier over a massive raised dance floor. The curved ceiling envelopes you with finely carved gilt moldings restored to their Art Nouveau elegance. Walk slowly over the lush floral carpet and gaze at the harmonizing chandeliers intimately placed and delicately lit within the magnificent ceiling. In addition to this unique ballroom, be pampered in one of the largest Bridal Suites in the State of New York! European trained chefs create inspirational cuisine and a highly trained staff is on the alert to fulfill your every wish. Blend the elegance and drama of yesterday, the efficiency and caring of a dedicated staff, and the culinary skills of award-winning chefs and you can understand why the Floral Terrace has become the “crown jewel” of Long Island’s catering scene. Floral Terrace takes pride in custom designing every menu. Your affair is the only affair.

Sample Menu

For weddings, special occasions as well as corporate events and one-day meetings for business. Tappan Hill is an oasis of tranquility just 45 minutes from Manhattan— on a spectacular Hudson River hilltop once owned by Mark Twain.

T

he landmark mansion, Tappan Hill, is a handsome stone structure with glorious views of the Hudson River. Carefully refurbished, the mansion’s marble-floored rotunda, conservatory ceiling, and curving staircase have all been restored to their original beauty. Lush carpeting throughout the house cushions sound. Grounds are beautifully maintained, inviting photo opportunities. Outdoors, separate ceremony areas frame inspiring sunsets. Inside, the mansion is blessed with river views everywhere: bride’s room, intimate dining salon, glass-walled Promenade, the spacious Pavilion Room and Hudson Room. And every room, including the Promenade, assures all-season comfort: airconditioning, of course, plus individual room-controlled heating. Tappan Hill also concentrates on the all-day business conference, providing a private (and cost-effective) setting with all necessary requisites but none of the distractions of a resort or busy hotel. Most satisfying of all, Tappan Hill stars the legendary Abigail Kirsch food. Festive but not fussy, this is “real” food, generously portioned, universally praised for its quality and good taste. Table appointments are impeccable. A seasoned staff attends to every need without being intrusive. Overnight lodging is nearby if needed. All this luxury notwithstanding, prices are competitive and depend upon food choices, as well as the season and time. The Kirsch culinary corps also continues to cater events elsewhere—from at-home celebrations to major benefits and other functions.
