The Roosevelt Hotel

The Roosevelt Hotel is a wonderful venue for any wedding; either room, the Tiffany room or the Grand Ballroom is spectacular. What really sets the Roosevelt apart however is Ferinoosh. Her attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond the norm to make your event the perfect stage for the beginning of your married life is amazing to behold and truly appreciated. She is the Roosevelt’s secret weapon against the tireless maze which accompanies wedding and event planning. Her input is always on point, her recommendations thoughtful, and her dedication to ensuring the perfect milestone cherished. Without her guidance and support our dream wedding would not have taken place with so much efficiency and poise. If you’re lost in the sea of wedding venues in New York City and in need of a lifeboat and lighthouse I could not recommend a better location or person for your consideration.

Everyone we worked with at the Roosevelt were very helpful and efficient. They made everything run smoothly and our day was memorable and happy. The food was fantastic, which was important to us, and all the guests have complimented it.

I was very happy that I got married at The Roosevelt. Ferinoosh was so responsive and a great communicator that I was very informed and at ease. The ballroom looked great and the overall hotel has a great old world New York charm about it that was perect.
Great location for pictures too!

I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding.... To top it all of I had the PLEASURE of working with the amazingly gifted ferrinouch. She brought my wedding to life ! Everything qwas gorgeous .The Roosevelt hotel is beyond highly recommended.. thank you soooo much

Ferinoosh Khosravi was my wedding coordinator for the Roosevelt Hotel. My husband and I were married on 6/12/2010. I am a detail-oriented, controlling perfectionist and I cannot think of a single complaint. Everything was PERFECT. Ferinoosh was the most attentive, creative, and wonderful person to work with. The hotel staff really are incredible - everyone was so attentive to our guests and the whole night ran so smoothly. I am a chef, so I do not say this lightly, but, the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Every single bite was glorious (and yes, I ate a ton at my own wedding). Really, could not have dream of more - it was a fairytale come true and I recommend this venue with all my heart.

The Roosevelt Hotel exceeded our expectations. During a very hectic day, all our issues and concerns were addressed and resolved. We worked with Ferinoosh and her care and professionalism guided us throughout the planning and the day of our daughter's wedding.

The Roosevelt was a great wedding venue! We had such a great time and the staff worked so hard to make the event so magical for us.

I had a great experience with The Roosevelt Hotel. Our catering manager was very professional and responsive to our needs.

My husband and I were thrilled with the value of our reception package. Our guests' needs were all addressed, including special dietary needs, we all addressed with style and elegance. We heard from numerous guests that this was the "best wedding" they had attended. The food was delicious, our coordinator, Ferinoosh, was professional and attentive, and the setting was comfortable and sophisticated. You will not regret choosing the Roosevelt as your reception (or ceremony) venue.

The Roosevelt Hotel provided our dream wedding reception. After a traditional ceremony at our church, we celebrated with family and friends at a reception that several guests called "the best wedding" they ever saw. Some guests even sent us "thank-you" messages for inviting them to such a great party, and some asked if we would renew our vows every year and celebrate repeatedly at the Roosevelt Hotel. We started planning a year before the wedding with Ferinoosh Khosravi, senior catering sales manager at the Roosevelt. Before signing our contract with the Roosevelt, we had visited at least 6 other wedding reception venues, and none of them were flexible or creative or large enough to help us realize our vision for a customized wedding reception package. With Ferinoosh's help, we created a unique evening for close to 240 guests that was equal parts a cool night club for co-workers with VIP lounge furniture, a church social coffee hour with cocktails and dancing, a family holiday, and a reunion of high-school and college friends -- a fun night for all ages, from 7-year-old children to 83-year-old senior citizens. The food was magnificent, the service was classy and friendly, and the grand ballroom could not have been grander. Our out-of-town relatives stayed at the Roosevelt for 4 nights (so they could turn the wedding trip into a mini-vacation in NYC), and they were treated like royalty for their whole stay. And the bridal suite was amazing, and the family enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the Roosevelt Grill on the morning after the wedding.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Roosevelt Hotel this past May. We partially choose this location for our wedding because our ceremony was at Saint Patrick's cathedral right around the corner but also because the ballroom is breathtakingly gorgeous. The high ceilings and old-world romance is unparallelled by any other venue that we looked at in Manhattan.
While planning our wedding, I was in constant communication with my coordinator at the Roosevelt, Ferinoosh. I was so fortunate to have Ferinoosh help me plan our wedding. She really went above and beyond her job as coordinator, often given me advice on vendors, visions, and insider tips. Once we got closer to the wedding, Ferinoosh and I spoke nearly every single day. Since I had a very elaborate wedding, there were many vendors and details to coordinate. On the night of our reception, she was there still overseeing everything and making sure all went to planned.
There were a few mishaps, but nothing that would make me regret our decision to have our reception at the Roosevelt Hotel. First, our wine (which we paid extra to upgrade) ended up being wrong and down-grading - A very sad detail for my wine-loving father. When Ferinoosh realized what had happened, she felt very badly and compensated with us extra add-ons. We had an extra hour of our reception as well as after dinner cordials which were both greatly appreciated! Additionally, our special champagne flutes were misplaced after the reception but luckily they were returned to us a few weeks (or maybe months...) after the wedding.
I would highly, highly recommend having your wedding reception at the Roosevelt Hotel. Ferinoosh and the rest of the staff worked extremely hard with my husband and I on making our wedding day perfect and unique.

My favorite things about my reception at the Roosevelt Hotel:
-Ferinoosh, a hands-on, one of a kind wedding coordinator
-Value, way, way cheaper than any of the other large reception venues in Manhattan
-Delicious food during the cocktail hour and dinner
-SYLVIA WEINSTOCK WEDDING CAKE, all included with your catering package
-Beautiful, romantic ballroom that holds large weddings

They made every effort to please us.

Ferinoosh was an absolute pleasure to work with and I felt confident in her and he management of my wedding from start to finish. Her expertise and professionalism exceeded my expectations and the wedding went on without a glitch. The staff was amazing and very responsive and overall a wonderful experience.

We used the Roosevelt Hotel as our Reception Venue only. We worked with Ferinoosh for the second half of the planning process because our original contact left the company. Ferinoosh was very professional, accommodating and extremely organized. Our ma�tre d' was wonderful as well. The wedding cake, designed by Sylvia Weinstock, was included in the package. We also had a complementary suite the night of the wedding. There were many perks that made the Roosevelt our top choice. We are so happy to have chosen the Roosevelt for our wedding reception. The evening was magical, the food was delicious and the space was beautiful. We hope to renew our vows in 5 years and celebrate at the Roosevelt again.

this was one of the best hotels. everyone there was very courteous and the food, drinks, and entertainment were A++.

I only wished it were a little closer to my locality, but its a very minor gripe

We got married on June 5, 2010 and the staff at the Roosevelt was exceptional. Starting from when we first met Ferinoosh, she made us feel comfortable and was very helpful throughout the Wedding planning. She explained the setup and gave great advice. We received many compliments about the service and rave reviews about the food. The Ballroom was gorgeous and had that New York feeling that we wanted. Gene our maitre d' was very attentive and professional. We had some people with food allergies and they were given special attention to make sure they were able to enjoy the food. Included in our package was a wedding cake from Sylvia Weinstock and it was amazing! We were also given 3 complimentary suites as part of our package. They had breakfast waiting for me in the bridal suite when I arrived the morning of the wedding. We highly recommend the Roosevelt Hotel for people looking for a true New York feel for their wedding.

Everything went perfectly smoothly with our wedding at the Roosevelt hotel. All of the rooms looked gorgeous, and the hotel could not have been more helpful. We had a great response to the food by our guests, which made us SO happy! Ferinoosh, our coordinator could not have been better. Both our families were very happy with her help.

The wedding hall is your largest expense, there are many things to consider.
The Roosevelt Hotel and Christie Castellana did a remarkable job overseeing our day from booking to well after the day of the wedding. She is incredibly detail oriented, she thinks of things that a Bride would never think of and she is a pure pleasure to work with. The staff at the Roosevelt were amazing to us as well as our guests. The rooms were nice and clean. Everything (soup to nuts) was great with the Roosevelt.

Responsiveness did not receive 5 stars because our hotel room coordinator did not promptly return our calls (we have incredibly high standards).
Value for cost did not receive 5 stars because no matter how you cut it, it's Manhattan and it's expensive - BUT this was the best alternative to a hall in Long Island or New Jersey.

The Roosevelt Hotel is really beautiful and we got a lot of compliments on the venue. Our banquet manager, Ferinoosh, and maitre'd, Gene, were wonderful and did a fantastic job. Three weeks before our wedding, the banquet manager I had been working with for months left for another job. It made me very nervous at the time, but Ferinoosh stepped in and took over with no problem. She was extremely professional and made sure we had everything we wanted for our special day. The only reason I didn't give them a perfect rating was because a few of our guests who stayed at the hotel told us that the staff at the check-in desk was rude to them. However, everything regarding the wedding itself was great. The ballrooms were beautiful, the food was delicious with very generous portions, and the wedding staff was incredibly nice. Highly recommended!

Easy to get a hold of. Very flexible with menu. Great Food. Overall, great experience.

Ferinoosh was an outstanding coordinator, but the day of coordination between all Roosevelt Hotel members was flawed with the front desk missing multiple reservations, and the directing of the guests pre-ceremony was not in place so guests wandered about and entered the private bridal room.

Our wedding at the hotel was absolutely gorgeous. We worked with Richard and the evening went off without a hitch, with a few minor glitches which were to be expected. My only complaint was the lack of professionalism with the catering managers in charge of booking accommodations. It took weeks to get the rooms straightened out. When reaching out to the manager about getting the issue straightened out as the wedding was days away, I was told to wait until the employee in question returned from vacation. Upon getting charged for the extra rooms booked I reached out to the manager again, only to have a chain forwarded back to me with the employee and manager going back and forth talking negatively about their client. I understand that brides can be a handful, and I understand it was a pain trying to resolve the same issue week after week (which wouldn't have been an issue had the staff booked the rooms properly in the first place) but I was taken aback by the lack of professionalism shown by the catering manager. But regardless, I would still recommend the hotel to anyone to have their special day. The elegance and beauty of the hotel is magical.

The hotel was great. When we wanted to make changes to our menu they were happy to do so at no additional charges. The staff was attentive and they made sure all of my needs were met.

We had an amazing wedding reception at the Roosevelt. On the big day, everything went really smoothly and the staff was a tremendous help. On weeks leading up to the event, we had trouble getting in touch with certain staff members for different confirmations and such and had mix ups with the room requirements. My parents' reservation was not even in the computer on their day of check-in after I had called multiple times to make sure. Luckily, everything was worked out in the end and everyone was happy. Overall, the experience was quite good, even with a few obstacles.
