HOTELS
The Bowery Hotel
335 Bowery, at 3rd St.; 212-505-9100; theboweryhotel.comAlthough the building is new, the second floor, 10,000-square-foot space feels comfortably lived-in. Having your wedding here will be chic (enter via private entrance, which is guarded by your own personal bouncer), but it will also be a bit of a hassle. Certain pieces of furniture (like the pool table) can’t be removed. But it may work in your favor that the Bowery can’t be rented more than six months in advance. No outside catering.
The Four Seasons Hotel
57 E. 57th St., nr. Park Ave.; 212-758-5700; fourseasons.comFor old-world glamour, you can’t beat this serene, luxurious hotel—which is why it generally books about a year in advance. Guests can mingle on the gorgeous lobby terrace before you lead them to any number of great rooms. The biggest, the Cosmopolitan Suite, holds 165 guests for cocktails and has a clubby, cabaret feel; several smaller rooms accommodate groups of 50. Catering starts at $275 per person.
Essex House
160 Central Park South, nr. Seventh Ave.; 212-247-0300; jumeirahessexhouse.comIf you love the Saint Regis, but want something a little less pricey, try this renovated Art Deco landmark.

Packages start at $300 per person and include the whole shebang (bridal suite, groom’s changing room, wedding cake, and a respectable wine list).
Gramercy Park Hotel
