Venues & Event Spaces near South Richmond Hill, NY

“Went to a 50th Birthday party last night and I really like the place. Good food, helpful and friendly workers, beautiful decor, top shelf liquor. I had a ball. Parking was not an issue. I found a spot right across the street. I like how it is only one event per night. All attention is on your party. I would recommend ?”

“Great vibes and it was fun. Love the idea of making science fun for kids too. If they switched it up once in a while like doing different themes I may go more often”

“Daniel has been a fantastic teacher and mentor for my golf game. He is extremely patient and detail oriented. I feel with him by my side my game has gone and will continue to go to new levels. Highly recommend!!!”

“Thank you so much Nadine for everything you did to make my mother’s 70th birthday celebration so special. From the beautiful venue to the amazing decorations and all of the thoughtful details you incorporated, everything was absolutely perfect.

You truly brought our vision to life, and my family and I are beyond grateful for all of your hard work, creativity, and dedication. My mom was filled with so much joy and appreciation, and we will cherish these memories forever.

Thank you again for helping make this such a beautiful and unforgettable celebration!”

“My husband and I got married at Tourmaline on 3/13/26. We are both from Forest Hills, and it was so special to us to have our small 45-person wedding held in a location where we met and grew up. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience preparing for our wedding dinner as well as how it all went on the big day. Rebecca was extremely communicative and clear throughout the planning process. She was always available to email and speak on the phone to address any questions we had, big or small. We did not hire a DJ and instead chose to provide our own music, and Rebecca walked us through the process of bringing our own playlists (they even provided us an additional speaker for a small fee). The venue was spotless, beautiful, open and airy, with warm lighting that was both welcoming and intimate. The service was impeccable and staff was friendly and helpful. As food and beverages are one of the most important parts of an event for my husband and me, I won't cut corners on describing how that side of things went! We chose the family style/buffet dinner option with 2 cocktail hour food stations, as well as the top shelf full open bar. I can say that absolutely everything was incredible. We went with: 3 Mains: -Chicken Cordon Bleu -Short Ribs in bordelaise -Vegetarian Paella 3 Sides: -Potatoes Dauphinoise -Penne a la Vodka -Garden Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette Our two stations were the cheese and charcuterie, as well as the elegant raw bar (oysters, shrimp, clams, mussels). Everything was absolutely outstanding, with a crowd favorite being the short ribs and a personal favorite of mine being the chicken cordon bleu. However, I could not name one thing that was subpar. As a big seafood fan, I was tickled pink to be able to have oysters at my wedding. (Even more tickled pink to wake up the next morning and have leftovers for breakfast, neatly packaged by staff).Also to note: they were willing to make almost anything gluten free by request, and they even prepared a separate bowl of plain pasta for my stepson. My guests all commented how friendly the bartenders were and how nice it was to have them remember their drinks each time they went up for more! We added the additional hour to our package and were so happy we did; the 3 hours would have flown by; 4 hours really seemed to be the sweet spot for dinner, drinks, and dancing. Overall, the care, attention, and service that were provided in our wedding experience was top notch and I would give Tourmaline nothing less than 5 stars for making our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Rebecca and Yvan!”

“I recently got married at Stewart manor, and we are still living on a high from the joy of the day. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, beauty of the venue, and incredible service. Everyone especially LOVED the cocktail hour, and they were kind enough to include a Caribbean station with jerk chicken and plantains, which ended up being everyone’s favorite food of the night! We had an issue with our transportation picking up the groomsmen at the hotel, and James really helped to calm us down and ensure the day went off without a hitch. He is truly as incredible as all the reviews say he is. Although we were definitely stressed from this, James calmness and steadiness throughout helped us (and our parents) to move through the ceremony and really live in the beauty of the moment. We knew hands down that Stewart manor could handle anything that happened that day, and that sense of security and trust truly helped us overall as the day approached.

We are so grateful we chose Stewart manor as our venue. We would choose them 1000 times over, and SO look forward to any future events there as a guest!”

“Food and drinks were okay. A little overpriced in my opinion for the drinks. Two small mojitos (not strong) cost $44. Had to keep going out the room to call them if we wanted to order drinks or food; so service could be a little more attentive. But they were accommodating and very patient when it came to splitting the bill unexpectedly. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and had good sound.”

“We had a wonderful experience at this venue. Nora was excellent at coordinating everything from start to finish and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. The booking process itself was seamless, and she was always accessible and responsive via email, which made planning much easier.

The decor was absolutely stunning—our guests were genuinely in shock when they walked in. It created such a beautiful and memorable atmosphere. The venue itself is especially well-suited for intimate events, offering a warm and elegant setting that feels both personal and special.

Even when a few hiccups came up, Nora remained accommodating and helpful, ensuring everything stayed on track. We truly appreciated her support and professionalism throughout.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much to D’Joys Event Hall for making my event absolutely perfect! I truly appreciate all the help and care that went into every detail. You are such an amazing woman, and your work is incredibly beautiful.

I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know who is looking for an event hall. You went above and beyond, and it did not go unnoticed. The photos and videos you captured—especially the candid moments—were stunning and something I will cherish forever.

Everything was well worth the time and money spent. Honestly, there aren’t enough words to describe how perfect the night turned out. Even with the rain, you still made it such a wonderful and memorable experience.

You are truly amazing. God bless you and your family, and travel safely. Thank you again for everything!”

“This owner saved our baby shower. My husband and I were planning on having our baby shower in Cunningham park. Months of preparation and our families were coming from different states. When we came to the park to set up, it was freezing that day and so windy. We didn’t that would happen on May 30th. I literally googled closed venue near me, I called Bobby the owner and he said he had availability and we can do it on an affordable price! It was truly a miracle. He set up the tables and cleaned up the place for us on such short notice! I definitely recommend this place for any event! The place was beautiful! Thanks again Bobby! You are a wonderful person and I hope the best!”

“Was one of the better party places I've been too. Also food was really good. My only issue is that the experience was too rushed. Another hour would have been the sweet spot. Also the video game room should be closed when doing the party activities, because half the kids were glued to the screens not participating and not eating.”

“From booking through to event day everything with the B-Spot was amazing. The owner Robin was always available to answer questions and help where needed. The space was exactly what I needed in my short turn around time. I will definitely book with them again. ❤”

“Celebration of life- Host Abraham was very accommodating. I loved that he had decorators/caterers to refer. He made a stressful sad situation smooth. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone”

“Spectacular. From the grand entrance water fountain, to the great care the waiters & waitresses gave our table. Im picky with bathroom. These bathroom are so well maintain, I appreciate that. I recommend and will blog with HIGH regard about Marina Del Rey!!
Thank you for a great evening.”

“Had one of the best nights ever at loft story this weekend!! the team runs a tight ship and the ownership is awesome! the bartenders and staff were lovely, the space felt warm and inviting... what a perfect night. Cannot recommend them more.”

“I Had my daughter’s birthday party at Suite 116 and it came out really nice. The space was clean and easy to decorate. The two floors helped separate the kids from the adults. Everyone had a good time.”

“Came here to work for the day.

The WiFi password didn’t work, which was a bit frustrating, especially when you’re trying to get things done. However, the overall design of the space is excellent — very well thought out and visually impressive.

It also feels like a place that would be great for hosting larger events or group gatherings.

Overall, strong atmosphere despite the tech issue.”

“Danielle did an amazing Job with the decor! Everyone loved it so much. The treats were gone so quick. Raheem was a blast to have he made the kids enjoy to the fullest! Will for sure come back ! 💙🥰”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A must-do New York experience
The Museum of the City of New York is an absolute gem. We loved every minute — it’s engaging, well curated and brings the story of New York to life in such an interesting and accessible way.The exhibits are informative without being overwhelming, and you walk away with a much deeper understanding of the city, its people and how it became what it is today.
If you’re visiting NYC, this should be on your list. A genuine must-do and a brilliant way to connect with the city beyond the usual tourist spots.”

“Absolutely Perfect. My daughter's sweet 16 was a major success and I have Villa Russo's to thank for allowing my vision for this party to become a reality. The food was great, the staff was wonderful. I would definitely come back for other events.”

“I just had my baby girl’s first birthday here and had the most amazing experience. The decorations, the little details, the host, the bartenders everything was more than I could’ve hoped for. Thank you so much! All of my guests left very happy as well. For anyone looking for somewhere to have their event, seriously look no further!!”

“My husband and I held our wedding ceremony at Carroll Hall, and it was a dream come true. Working with Andrew and Sam was easy, laid back, and they were enormously helpful from start to finish. The space is well cared for and absolutely beautiful. Honestly I couldn’t have imagined a space more perfect. Thank you for making our day better than we could have imagined.”

“A great venue with outstanding customer service. The owner is flexible, accommodating, and reliable. I look forward to using this space again and recommending it to others. It was the perfect choice for my daughter's prom send-off celebration!”

“My daughter got married last month at Sound River Studios. It was a 160 person wedding, and we liked the fact that it was spacious enough to have an indoor ceremony if the weather didn't cooperate. But it did! Even as long-time New Yorkers, we were captivated by the river and Manhattan views as it went from sunlight to dusk to night. And the many guests from Chicago and Michigan were charmed as well. It is truly a magical and romantic venue for a wedding. In contrast, the surrounding neighborhood is wonderfully gritty and urban; and we loved that too. It made for dramatic and unusual New York City photographs by Bin at B.Legend.

The space is enormous and empty, so be prepared to bring in all of the furniture and tableware, unlike in a hotel or catering hall. The bridal couple wanted a minimalist look, but it still took a lot of Edison bulbs, florals, and lanterns to decorate the space. One other note is that the acoustics can be challenging since there is nothing to absorb the sound. Be sure to test your equipment for ceremony and speeches. Our guests were on the younger side (late 20s), so the music was loud and hard to hold a conversation - but that's something you could control. It is completely wheelchair accessible.

Una is a pro. She is straight-forward, direct, and no nonsense, which we appreciated. She met us 4 (?) different times to walk through the space as the groom's parents were from out of town, and we'd changed planners midstream. The contracts and bar packages were clear. Between Una and our planner Dave from Events by Jesse, the party ran without any issues so we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!

Pro-tip: We rented the two penthouse rooms at the Aloft Hotel. It has a rooftop terrace that's open to the public but scarcely used. We hung out there after the welcome reception Friday and until the wee hours after the wedding on Saturday. Much more relaxed than a bar. It was easy to run the shuttles to and from Sound River Studios, which is only about a mile away.”

“What an amazing night! We celebrated my grandmother’s 90th birthday and the night was absolutely perfect! Marcello, our Maître D, was very attentive to details, any requests, or changes, and went above and beyond to give us our dream celebration for a very special woman. Thank you Marcello and Leonard’s Palazzo for giving our family the best experience, amazing, and memorable night for all of us, especially my grandmother.”

“The sites are comfortable, the stage are at an ideal point to watch a grouped of dancers proformance, it's close to the subway, and lots of deferent bus stops.”

“Great location for a mid sized event. Nothing bigger than 200 in my opinion. Went to a great wedding and the night was magical. Service was amazing. Shout out to the bartender growing his own mints for fresh mojitos❤”

“I saw this quartet at the this beautiful church in Brooklyn. The quartet played Bad Bunny music but in string music. I enjoyed the music, the staff was very helpful and the church had a serene feelings well.”

“We were so fortunate to have our wedding at Brooklyn Winery!!

From the beginning, the entire staff was incredible to work with. They even arranged an additional tour so that we could show my parents around the space when they were in town.

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous! The plant wall is incredible and makes the venue feel unique and charming. It’s the perfect blend of modern and cozy.

Importantly, the food is also amazing! Several of our guests came up to us during the wedding and mentioned how much they loved dinner. BK Winery made sure that we got to try everything on our menu and set aside hors d'oeuvres for us in the wedding suite to make sure we were well fed throughout the night.

Our coordinator, Jessica, was especially wonderful to work with. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She seamlessly handled last-minute seating changes, and we were truly in amazing hands!

The rest of the staff was also a pleasure to work with. The bartenders were dancing behind the bar and seemed to be having almost as much fun as we were. We didn’t even notice a couple of broken glasses; they were taken care of so quickly!

We’re so proud to be on the wall of love and a VIC for life! Thank you, Brooklyn Winery, for a magical day that we will remember forever!!”

“I take my son here often about every month and the staff are lovely! They remember my son and are so kind! What i love is how clean everything is and they still have lysol spray available along with water . The open play is 2 hours and my son loves it he never wants to leave. Great clean establishment with friendly staff ?”
