3 West Club

My husband and I could not have been happier with our experience at the 3 West Club. We had our cocktail hour in the solarium, and our guests were awed by the views of Manhattan, and the amazing h'ors d'oevres. Our 4-course dinner in the ballroom was spectacular! Many of our guests said they were so full from the amazing food, they couldn't get up and dance. We took this as a big compliment. :) Kristina, our coordinator, was lovely and so professional to work with. We enjoyed every bit of the planning process with her, and were tickled with the final results.

Thus far, my experience with 3 West Club has been extraordinary. I am someone who is extremely organized and pays close attention to details. My experience with Yoko has been amazing!!! She has been extremely responsive with any questions I may have had. I love that she does her best to accomodate the needs of the guest. I had my food tasting today. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!! We had an opportunity to meet both Chef's they were very down to earth. They are open to ideas and even willing to share a recipe or two.

This is a hidden gem!!!!

Amazing! Kristina and Amanda were a blessing. Kristina helped make our day perfect for our guests. The food was amazing, people still rave about it and we were married a year ago. We want to go back every year on our anniversary and repeat the menu because it was so awesome. We had around 120 guests and it went perfectly. We had our cocktail hour on the solarium and reception in the grand ballroom. Couldn't be happier, if you can book, do it!

Some pictures from our day. :)

Planning a wedding when you're based outside of the States, can be quite challenging. All my wedding planning has been administered through e-mails and a few phone calls. I realize I must have run into great luck when I found 3 West Club. Finding a venue suitable for a small wedding party of only 24 guests that also had an elegant and romantic touch was difficult, but having our cocktail hour on the terrasse of the Solarium and dinner inside was not only perfect, it surpassed all my expectations! For a June wedding with temperatures around 80-90 F, the terrasse was also great for enjoying drinks during the after party with the beautiful backdrop of skyliners and the St. Patricks Cathedral beaming. All the hors d'ouvres and 3 course dinner were excellent, and our guests still talk about the food and how good it tasted. You need not be worried about the food! There was plenty and it was absolutely delightful. Our coordinator Kristina had everything under control and was great to work with and flexible to all my ideas. Price for the reception/food services was very affordable - choosing this venue gives you great value! We had without a doubt a dream wedding that we and our guests never will forget, and we highly recommend 3 West Club to any future wedding couples. In the jungle of wedding venues, taking into account price, 3 West Club is a small hidden gem on 5 th avenue!

I just had my wedding at the 3 West Club in June 2010 and everyone is still raving about everything from my wedding. When I first saw the venue, I fell in love with the beautiful ballroom and the solarium. It is so hard to find a nice and warm space in the city and 3 West provided exactly that at a reasonable cost. Kristina the catering manager was an absolute delight to work with. We asked if we could bring Korean food for the cocktail hour and she said the chef is willing to work with our recipes since outside food is not allowed. The chef did an amazing job with Korean recipes. In addition, Kristina was so organized and prompt that I didn't have to do much thinking except to answer her questions. Without her the wedding would not have been as smooth or organized.

The food was absolutely amazing. I know it sounds cliche but 3 West food was anything but wedding food. My friends and family are still raving about the food, especially the halibut. Thank you 3 west!

They made our day perfect!!

My husband and I would recommend the 3 West Club to any couple. They are professional, attentive and sincerely invested in making any wedding event the best it could possibly be. Kristina, Amanda, Marie and the entire catering staff were incredible and with us every step of the way. Chef Eisenberg's food received well deserved praise. My only reservation is the hotel rooms as we had many mix-ups and lost reservations for our party, but Maria at the Front Desk was a wizard at fixing it. It would probably be advisable to book only a couple of rooms for the wedding party and book others elsewhere to save confusion.

This was a very minor detail and should not discourage anyone from this venue. For Manhattan, it was affordable and absolutely gorgeous.

The 3 West Club was truly a remarkable place to hold our wedding reception. From start to finish the service has been exceptional. Amanda the director of catering was absolutely AMAZING! She always responded to us quickly and catered to all of our requests.
Leading up to the wedding the staff was very accomodating.
The decor is classic and timeless. We were blown away with how flawless the ballroom was set up.
The wait staff was delightful and the food was outstanding. We were constantly stopped by our guests to just rave about how great the food is!
We would ABSOLUTELY recommend this venue to anyone with a group of 100-120 guests. It is the perfect setting and in this ecomony reasonably priced!

We originally found this site online. As soon as I came for a tour I saw the potential and booked it within a week. It is a great venue for an NYC wedding, with very reasonable prices for the city. The decor of the rooms is simple and classic. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception on site, each in a different room. The food was fanatastic and there was more than enough of EVERYTHING. The solarium room we used for our cocktail hour has an unbelievable view of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Many of our guests stayed out on the balcony enjoying their cocktails and the view. The ballroom is perfect for a group of 100. Enough space to not feel too crowded or too spread out with a nice sized dance floor in the middle. However, it might have felt cramped with a larger sized wedding. Although the guest hotel rooms are small, the bridal suite is like a mini apartment, quite roomy, there was enough space for all the bridal party to relax and have their hair & make-up done.

The venue is beautiful and the food is amazing, however that is where the raving stops. I was highly disappointed in the service and complete lack of organization. I felt like my wedding was a free for all. On your wedding day you want to trust that the manager is there to assist you in following a timeline. Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception take place in 3 different rooms on 3 different floors in this venue, and it was impossible for me to find the manager let alone make sure that everyone was available to begin on time. I am so thankful for my take charge friends who stepped it up where the manager was slacking.Our ceremony began incredibly late which resulting in extending my wedding at additional cost to us! On a Friday night, when most guests arrive straight from work, I was concerned about a late dinner. I was told all courses can be served consecutively and dessert can be finished by ten, with plenty of time for dancing later. My guests were being served dinner at 11. Staff questioned the whereabouts of my guests (there are very few bathrooms available in the venue) while attempting to find an available restroom and actually pointed in a bridesmaid's face. A partygoer from a Republican event (the venue is also a Women's Republican Club) also questioned my sister in law's intent as she attempted to use the elevator and said she "looked like the help". We thought we really found a bargain because of the reasonable price in the center of Manhattan, but in the end we spent just as much money as we would have anywhere else and there were no amenities whatsoever.

The venue is aesthetically pleasing and was perfect for my Halloween wedding. The food was actually EXCELLENT, however the catering manager was very disorganized and the end result was missing items, extremely late start and dinner being served at nearly 11 oclock. I was told dessert would be finished by ten according to a timeline provided. On a Friday night I'd hate to keep guests waiting when most people came straight from work and were starving! I was assured this was no problem.Our ceremony began almost an hour late and in the end I had to extend my wedding at the additional cost of almost 2000 dollars. There is an empty room available to use as a "bridal suite" only after 5 pm if on a weekday.There were no food or beverages in the bridal suite for the bridal party.I actually had to get a hotel room to prepare prior to the ceremony.Moreso, a staff member actually yelled at one of my guests and pointed in her face. The venue is also known as the Women's Republican club, and that very night there happened to be a party in honor of candidate John McCain. As one of my guests (who happens to be hispanic) entered the elevator to pack up my belongings she was questioned her whereabouts by one of the Republican partygoers. When she said she was coming from the wedding, the women replied "oh you look like the help." I was shocked I was extremely disappointed in the service provided. Thank goodness for my take charge friends who managed the manager.

Great service was true white glove, site was goregous classical style and the food was amazing everyone was suprised on how much we got - cocktail hour passed food was constantly coming. Had a Friday night wedding and price was very reasonable- Yoko the cordinator really was wonderful. My only complaint is that I didn't tell them to wrap up my dinner.

I am so happy we had our wedding here! The solarium was the perfect size for our reception size of 50 people. And the view of St Patrick's Cathethral is amazing.

I actually found this site while touring the web for wedding sites. When I called, I was told that the only date available in March, was March 4th, which was the day my husband and I had decided we wanted. From the beginning, the staff was informative, flexible, and professional. Pilar (the woman who arranged everything) really helped to get all of the details sorted out and make sure that the wedding was well organized. It really is a great site for the price, especially in NYC. I definitely recommend it!

What a tremendous operation. The Three West Club far exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was fabulous (people are still raving about it!) The solarium looked so beautiful -a gorgeous day and a beautiful view of St. Pats and Rockefeller center-they just about had to push people out from the cocktail hour to the dinner. The ballroom was just magical. The chandeliers are gorgeous, and reflected in the big mirrors, the room just glittered. The Lounge worked out perfect for pre-ceremony photo (what a beautiful room!) and we had private drinks and hors d'ouvres service in there for the parents and bridal party between the ceremony and reception. The service was impeccable and the meal was delicious. My DH and I made sure we ate-and enjoyed every bite. Carrie did an amazing job of coordinating all of the vendors and was on hand to deal with any minor or major crisis that presented itself. She smoothly managed the special needs of some dietary restricted guests. She really went above and beyond and was entirely responsible for everything going off without a hitch. I felt like I could enjoy myself as a guest at the party without worrying about a single detail. By the end of the night, she felt like one of the family. I cannot say enough about the club, the facilities, the food, the service, and all the "extras" that made our day so special. And most importantly for some, the Three West Club was the most INEXPENSIVE reception venue I found in Manhattan! ($100++)

An incredible value for a Manhattan wedding venue. The food is absolutely excellent. The facilities have a wonderful old New York appeal, and the view from the Solarium is spectacular. I highly recommend the 3 West club! 5+ years later, our guests still rave about a magical evening! It is an antique building, and charming as such.

3 West Club is one of my favorite venues! The building is beautiful and the personal service and food is just wonderful! Carol Moore A Starry Night Music

I recently attended a wedding at 3 West Club, and was reminded why I love it! It's the perfect wedding space and the ambiance is beyond compare in NYC.

A beautiful venue in a prime location! The rooms are sophisticated and the food delicious.
Yoko the catering manager is a pleasure to work with and makes sure that every couple has the most unforgettable day.

I love working with these people! I've not only done cakes for weddings held there, I've also been to weddings there as a guest. The service is impeccable, the staff warm and accommodating, and the food....incredible! There is a view of St. Patrick's Cathedral from
a terrace that is so beautiful. I highly advise any couple wanting to get married in NYC to pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed unless your date is already booked!
