New York Wedding Venues

The Bordone LIC

The Bordone LIC offers an unparalleled canvas for couples who want the pulse of New York City to serve as their backdrop. Located in the heart of Long Island City, this venue is defined by its clean, modern lines and expansive glass walls that frame the Manhattan skyline and the Queensboro Bridge with cinematic precision.

A Versatile Canvas for Elegant Celebrations

This premier NYC event space provides a rare “indoor-outdoor” luxury that is hard to find in the city. The minimalist aesthetic, characterized by polished concrete floors and soaring 14-foot ceilings, acts as a high-end gallery for any personal style. It is the ultimate choice for a modern wedding that transitions seamlessly from a bright, airy daytime ceremony to a glowing, city-lit reception.

The venue’s layout is designed for a flawless guest flow across two distinct levels. While the Main Space features a massive 6,000-square-foot rooftop terrace, a separate private Penthouse offers a more intimate setting for smaller groups. This flexibility allows for a sunset cocktail hour “under the stars” before moving inside for a high-energy party, all while keeping the iconic architecture of the city in constant view.

Choosing this Long Island City wedding venue means prioritizing both design and convenience. With a generous 16-hour rental window that lasts until 2:00 AM, there is ample time for elaborate floral installations and a full night of dancing. As a “blank canvas” location, it offers the freedom to bring in a curated vendor team, ensuring every detail of a multicultural celebration is perfectly tailored to the vision.
