My boyfriend was actually the one who stumbled upon this venue, and it was many years ago. However, I have always kept it in the back of my mind as a great place to host a wedding, and I’ve since shot a few engagement sessions here. It’s a stone’s throw away from Bryant Park and happens to have not only a delicious food menu, but also a compelling rooftop space perfect for events. Most importantly, it’s a space able to be used year round. Thanks to their retractable glass roof, indoor seating and outdoor terrace, Refinery Rooftop is the place to be. Whether you’re sitting down to lunch or enjoying a handcrafted cocktail in the evening. The staff is incredibly accommodating, and will absolutely go above and beyond for your big day.
