  Perfect Manhattan wedding!

  Choosing Harding's as our wedding venue was the best decision we made for our wedding. It's such a beautiful venue and the fact that they have such an impressive menu and bar made it a relaxed and lovely night for everyone. Harding's was so easy to work with during the entire planning process and helped us think through all the details of the evening. We'll be coming here to have a drink and remember our wedding night for years to come.

  Honestly, such an amazing experience from the start. Jill and Ken (owners) are so helpful and and attentive. Jill was always prompt to answer my emails and questions and concerns. The staff on my wedding day was amazing, such a great crew of people they have there! The food and drinks are OUTSTANDING, all of my guests were raving about the food ! All in all, if you are looking for a non-traditional wedding in NYC I would reccommend Hardings 1000000%

  An Exception Spot

  We had an exceptional time at Hardings, start to finish. Jill and Ken made ever step, from signing to contract to the actual party itself as stress free as it could possibly be --going so far as to help us envision what the ceremony could be like and making six different cocktails at the tasting until we found the right one. The food was delicious (the amount of compliments we got on the apps alone could fill a book), the cocktails were unique and flowing and the staff made the whole day a dream. The restaurant was an elegant and gorgeous place to have the ceremony and it seamlessly turned into a perfect party spot after.
  
  We cannot recommend Hardings highly enough!

  Perfect venue, fantastic food, great staff!

  We cannot recommend Hardings highly enough! Ken & Jill were fantastic - detail oriented, communicative, attentive, calm, and flexible. The food/drinks are fantastic, staff is great, and the decor ambience stands all on its own with a rustic charm. Also in a great location - close to everything you want, but off the path enough that it’s not overrun with tourists. Our guests could not stop complimenting the food, the ambience, the service - absolutely worth it.

  Highly recommend for a NYC party!

  We were looking for a NYC venue to host our wedding celebration of ~100 guests-Harding's had everything we wanted, from a large open space with a huge bar, great food, and an option to have a cocktail style dinner! To top that, Jill and Ken were beyond helpful in recommending vendors, answering our questions, and ensuring our party was a success. We received so many compliments on the space and the food, and we are so happy we held our event here! Couldn't recommend it enough!

  Sept 2023 wedding

  Our wedding at Harding's was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped foot into this charming venue, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our special day.
  
  First and foremost, Ken and Jill, the wonderful owners of Harding's, are an absolute dream team. They guided us through every step of the wedding planning process with such care and attention to detail. Their experience and expertise in hosting weddings really shined, and they made us feel like family throughout the entire journey. Their warmth and dedication were truly remarkable.
  
  Now, let's talk about the food – it was out of this world! Our guests are still raving about the delectable dishes served at our wedding. They even accommodated all dietary restrictions seamlessly for some of our guests. From the appetizers to the main course, every bite was a delight.
  
  The service staff, including the bartenders, were on top of their game. They were attentive, friendly, and ensured that every guest had a fantastic experience. Our glasses were never empty, and our guests felt truly taken care of.
  
  The venue itself is a classic beauty. It exudes elegance and charm, making it the ideal backdrop for a wedding celebration. We were pleasantly surprised by how little additional decor we needed – the venue's inherent charm spoke for itself.
  
  One of the many things we appreciated about Ken and Jill was their network of recommended vendors. From the music to the photographer, every recommendation was spot-on. It made the entire process seamless, and we were able to assemble a dream team of professionals to make our day even more special.
  
  We can't recommend Harding's enough for anyone looking for a perfectly located NYC venue to host a wedding for 120 people. Ken, Jill, and their team go above and beyond to ensure your day is unforgettable. Our wedding at Harding's will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we are so grateful for the incredible experience they provided.

  So incredibly happy we found this place

  My husband and I are native New Yorkers who were looking to have a wedding reception of about 70-80 people. Harding’s was perfect for us in so many ways from start to end.
  + Their service and professionalism was above and beyond: Jill, the Events Director, and her husband Ken operate the restaurant and they are the best. Every interaction I had with them and the staff made me feel at ease since they’ve done a lot of events and really know what they’re doing. They and the staff were also so professional when it came to some last minute accommodations (including a family member who was recovering from a sudden medical emergency and could not eat most solid food - the kitchen put together a soup just for him).
  + The space is absolutely lovely: We opted not to do any additional decor since honestly we didn’t need anything more to set the vibe. The space has a very classy, timeless aesthetic which our photographer had a lot of fun with. They also have a balcony area that overlooks the main dining space - my husband and I requested to have our sweetheart table up there which made the evening extra romantic having some space to ourselves. Again, this also made for beautiful photos.
  + The food and drinks are excellent: At least one of our guests ate 5 sliders during cocktail hour alone since it was that good. Moreover, we had a number of guests with dietary restrictions (dairy, nut, shellfish, pork, beef, etc.), but the restaurant was able to accommodate them and even allowed people to take their leftovers home to-go.
  + The location couldn’t be better: located in midtown Manhattan, the space is accessible by many train lines and hotels. Since it’s so central, there’s so many options for bars and nightlife for our guests who wanted to keep the party going (and party they did). Since Harding’s is a restaurant on days when they don’t have weddings, we love the idea of being able to return for date nights on our anniversaries to come.
  In summary, for a Manhattan wedding I truly think we got a fantastic deal. It was a night to remember for us and all of our guests, and the restaurant now holds a special place in our hearts.

  Perfect Place to Celebrate a Wedding

  he whole Harding's team, especially Jill and Ken, was extremely attentive to our every need and request and a delight to plan a wedding celebration party with. They communicated promptly and clearly all the way through the planning process and on party day and helped us plan an incredibly fun, yet still intimate, wedding celebration on a relatively short timeline. Their help suggesting and coordinating with trusted vendors, accommodating our requests wherever possible, setting up the space to our liking, and preparing customized drink and food menus for our celebration was above and beyond. The space itself is very unique and highly customizable to suit a party's needs; we opted for a cocktail hour followed by food stations around the dance floor, and were very impressed with how that all came together, but felt we could have chosen a more traditional sit-down dinner without difficulty if that had been our preference. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and it starts at the top with Jill and Ken's obvious positive energy and desire to partner with a couple to make their event special. We could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding celebration, a team to work with, or a better outcome of our celebration vision.

  Stellar Venue

  We had to pull off a wedding in a matter of weeks in NYC and couldn't have imagined it going any better than it did. From the moment we went into Hardings and met Jill, we knew her and her husband were up for the task. `Building the menu with them was a breeze and they even were very helpful with recommendations for other vendors.
  
  Everything went off without a hitch and exceeded all expectations. People are still talking about how great the passed appetizers were and what an amazing party we had at Hardings!

  Book Harding's for your NYC venue!

  Harding's was the perfect spot for my wife and I to celebrate our love with friends and family, our way, here in NYC. We had just under 90 guests and it could not have gone any better than we had envisioned. Everything about Harding's from the bartenders, to the staff, the food, and the direct line of communication to Jill and Kenny was amazing. We had such an unbelievable time dancing the night away, while always having a delicious drink in our hands!

  Incredible Wedding at Harding's

  We had our wedding at Harding’s in December 2022. Everything was INCREDIBLE. From the gorgeous, elegant space (also the perfect size!) to the delicious food and drinks (stellar from cocktail hour through dinner and dessert), we are so happy we chose them. What truly shines about Harding’s are the people; Jill and Ken were a joy to plan with, and the day-of went flawlessly. The staff made us and our guests feel so taken care of – everyone went above and beyond. We continue to hear raves from our family and friends! We can’t recommend Harding’s enough – they made the most important day of our lives unforgettable, and we hope to celebrate special events with them for years to come.

  10/10 Would Recommend

  Harding's was the perfect venue for our classic NYC wedding. Jill and Ken are pros - easy to work with, know their stuff, come with great recommendations, and just all around great people. The venue itself is gorgeous, loved the chandeliers, exposed brick, and historical decor. Service was impeccable; staff was super nice and friendly, and never a line for food or drink. And speaking of, the food was DELISH, drinks were amazing. We had 88 people for a ceremony and cocktail style reception and it felt full but nowhere near crammed in. Plenty of room on the dance floor for everyone to sing and dance their hearts out all night long. Highly recommend!!!!

The location is stunning, delicious food and drinks and the friendliest, most likable owners and staff. We give Harding's an A+++ and will recommend it to everyone we know.

  Jill & Ken

  I can't say enough good things. We visited several other restaurants, and ultimately picked Harding's because we so enjoyed the owners, Jill & Ken. They were fair, flexible & frankly, FUN! to work with. The people make the wedding, & the Harding's staff was a huge part of ours! In the best way!

  5 stars is not enough :)

  A 5-star system feels far too small for me to rate just how wonderful a time my loved ones and I had at Harding's. My husband and I were planning our post-Covid wedding and we wanted to provide a fun place in NYC for our guests to enjoy after travelling from far away, but we were also looking for something intimate in the big city. Harding's was the first place we visited, and the last. As we were leaving after our conversation with Jill (who was a treasure throughout this whole process) and some amazing sweet potato fries, my husband and I looked at each other and thought: "This is it." With every stage of wedding planning, from start to finish, our joy and relief that we had chosen to work with Harding's, Ken & Jill only deepened. They did not only make the process less stressful, it was fun! The staff were also so helpful and nice to work with.
  Our guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was, not to mention the food and drinks... So tasty! Merely 2 weeks after our wedding, we were back for dinner 😄 Which is really great, that you can have dates and anniversary dinners in the place you got married at, and think back on the lovely memories.
  I'm very grateful for a business like Harding's. People there seem proud of what they do and are happy to share their work :) Can't wait to be back!

  Amazing NYC Wedding Venue

  After many hours of searching for the perfect NYC wedding venue we luckily found Harding’s and couldn’t be happier with the choice. The owners Jill and Ken are both amazing and on top of everything. We didn’t hire a wedding planner, and thanks to Jill we didn’t need one! She helped with all of the planning - menu, timeline, coordinating with other vendors, etc. - and was extremely easy to work with and very organized.
  
  The staff all go above and beyond and are very professional and great at their respective jobs. Every bartender there is a mixologist in their own right and they all make amazing cocktails whether they are pre-planned or on the fly. We had passed hors devours to start and multiple food stations. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious all the food was. The venue itself is perfect for a wedding reception. We had 120 guests and it seemed like the perfect number, not crowded, but not empty feeling either. The giant bar in the front and the efficiency of the bartenders ensured there was never a wait for a drink.
  
  We would highly recommend Harding’s to any couple looking for a unique wedding venue in NYC! Thank you so much, Jill and Ken!

  Small, intimate NYC Wedding

  We got married at Harding's a year ago and my friends/family still talk about what a nice venue it was. Jill and Ken went out of their way to make sure we had a perfect day. The best part of this venue is that it's not a typical catering hall and has such an intimate, rustic feel to it. They truly cater to your every need. The food and service was amazing, not a beat missed. I can't think of a nicer venue if you're looking for a more smaller wedding.

  Everything we could’ve hoped for and more.

  From the moment we walked into Harding’s we knew we wanted our wedding to be there. We loved everything about it, the leather loveseat in front, the beautiful chandeliers, the enormous vintage American flag draped on the wall, even the collage of JFK newspaper clippings in the bathrooms. The fact that the food is delicious and that the owners Jill and Ken are friendly and laid back, yet incredibly professional and knowledgeable were added bonuses. Jill guided us through everything we needed to know and do, and Ken and his staff executed the day of beautifully. We had an amazing wedding and our guests couldn’t stop praising the food and ambience. It was truly unique and we wouldn’t change a thing. Only wish we could do it again!

  Exceptional!

  My husband and I were looking for a place to have our ideal wedding - an energetic dance party with good food and lots of drinks. We couldn't believe we could make it work in Manhattan on our budget. But we had the most perfect wedding at Harding's on a Saturday night in November 2021. Jill, Ken, and their team were absolute pleasures to work with, both during the seamless planning process and the night itself. The space is so charming and intimate; we kept flowers and other décor to a minimum. We had around 100 people and skipped the sit-down dinner (we always wanted cocktail-style); our guests had the best time - they loved the passed apps, stations and the cocktails (plenty of food and drink!). We didn't use a wedding planner, but Jill and Ken worked closely with us on menus, vendors, and day-of timelines. I would highly recommend Harding's!

  Everything you could want in a wedding venue

  As a twice postponed covid couple who had already had another venue booked that we were unhappy with, Harding’s stepped up to the plate from day one. From the first communication that I had with Jill I knew it wasn’t going to be a question that we were moving our 10/16/2021 wedding to Harding’s. The customer service that they provide is next level, any question we ever had was answered and any problem we could have thought of was solved. Communication was amazing and transparent, the tasting even better. The day of neither of us had anything to worry about, Ken was on top of it all and worked in lock step with our day of coordinator. The space itself is beautiful and needs little in terms of decorations. The food is outstanding and the service is what really makes the night amazing. It’s been several weeks and we still have people reaching out to let us know how great the wedding was and how much fun they had. Both Jill and Ken provide an excellent service and let you run wild with the type of party that you want. The staff working that night made sure that the drinks were flowing and that everyone was having a blast. If you are looking for an elegant space with minimal worries then do yourself a favor and contact Harding’s. Thank you guys so much and we cannot wait to return for dinner!

  Highly recommend!

  Jill and Ken are amazing! I can't describe in words how they were so helpful, responsive, easy to work with, and professional. All our guests talked about our wedding and the venue for having a great ambiance and especially amazing food and drinks!

  Harding's is the best

  We had our wedding (~80 guests). Everything (staffs, food, etc) was just perfect. Highly recommend this place.

  So lucky to have found Harding's!

  We had an amazing wedding at Harding's. After our original venue canceled on us with 3 months to go until our wedding, we stumbled across Harding's and they totally saved our day. Jill, Ken, and the whole Harding's team were a pleasure to work with and so organized. They helped us figure out the right plan for our party size, walked us through everything (anticipating questions we didn't even think to ask), and helped coordinate with vendors to make sure everything was seamless before and on the day of the wedding. The space is so unique and charming - it didn't need much to look magical on our wedding day, and there was enough space for a big dance floor and photobooth. Not only that, but the food and drinks were OUTSTANDING - our guests were raving about how good everything was that night, and we still get compliments. As an added plus, they worked with us to customize a menu without meat. We are so happy to have discovered Harding's, and we had the best wedding we could have imagined!
