Other Outdoor Wedding Spaces
Ceremony, Cocktail Hour & Reception Above Brooklyn
A rooftop wedding lets the setting carry the day. Exchange vows with the skyline behind you on the 23rd Floor Rooftop, which can be set for ceremonies, then raise a glass at a cocktail hour with panoramic views.
For the reception, choose the layout that suits your guest list, from a seated banquet to a standing cocktail reception. Our events team can help shape the flow of the evening between the venues available for your date.
Planning for Weather & Seasons
Rooftop weddings call for a plan for the weather. Westlight combines floor-to-ceiling windows with an indoor/outdoor patio, and the indoor Vale Ballroom & Foyer, for up to 320 guests, can serve as an alternative. Our events team can talk through backup plans for your date and the season you are marrying in.
Food & Drink by NoHo Hospitality
NoHo Hospitality caters every wedding at The William Vale, with menus led by James Beard Award-winning Chef Andrew Carmellini. On the rooftop, that often means passed bites and signature cocktails at sunset before a plated dinner or a standing reception, with bar packages and staffing to run the evening.
Our events team can build the menu around your guest count and the flow of the night.
Stay Above Williamsburg for the Wedding Weekend
Wedding guests can stay on site, with every guest room and suite featuring a private balcony and preferred room block rates available for wedding groups. Wedding party suites include the Manhattan View Corner Suite, the King One Bedroom Suite, and the two-story Vale Garden Residence penthouse with its jacuzzi and patio.
For out-of-town guests, the L and G trains are a few blocks away, so a free morning in Manhattan is easy to fit around the wedding.
