The Season
Though this wedding is gorgeous any time of year, we recommend the fall or winter months. Astor Hall does not have air conditioning, so a summer wedding may not be as comfortable for your guests.
Iconic Design
Want to make an iconic impact? Don’t skip the candles on the steps. It is quintessential NYPL design and makes for the best photo ops.

The Time
When you book, you get NYPL for 5 hours. Pay to add an extra hour! You won’t regret it.
