Thea & Todd’s May Wedding at the River Café in New York

As New York City wedding planners, we’ve planned various types of celebrations at top venues in the city, but an intimate New York wedding at The River Café in Brooklyn is truly in a category of its own. The River Café wedding experience is timeless, romantic, and warm. With its top-tier cuisine, sweeping views of the river, and unparalleled ambiance, this venue never loses its magic. Each River Café wedding feels entirely unique shaped by the couple’s story, their vision, and the quiet luxury that defines The River Café.

The morning began with the couple getting ready nearby in Brooklyn, allowing for a relaxed pace and intentional moments together. Before the ceremony, they shared a first look and it is these quiet moments filled with emotion and anticipation that set the tone for their intimate NYC wedding. Surrounded by white wedding florals, the simplicity of the design allowed the views and the connection between the couple to take center stage.

The couple exchanged vows in the River Café’s waterfront garden, which is a stunning setting for an outdoor ceremony. A string quartet for the wedding provided a soft, elegant soundtrack as guests took their seats, elevating the atmosphere while maintaining the intimacy of a small New York wedding.

Following their vows, guests transitioned seamlessly into a restaurant wedding reception inside The River Café., which felt both celebratory and refined. Hosting a restaurant wedding reception allows couples to focus on connection, conversation, and exceptional food; an ideal choice for an intimate Brooklyn wedding where every detail feels intentional.

Bringing this River Cafe wedding to life was an absolute honor. As one of the most sought-after New York wedding venues, The River Café continues to set the standard for couples envisioning a sophisticated yet deeply personal celebration.
