Our Dream at Sound River Studios

My wife and I got married a couple weeks ago and honestly couldn’t have been happier with choosing Sound River Studios as our venue. The space itself allowed us to build out our dream wedding, and the location set it all over the top. We had a nice misty night which accentuated the lights of the NYC skyline and added a great atmosphere to being on the East River. Una and the team were incredible and made sure our day went exactly as planned. I couldn’t recommend SRS enough!

Amazing Venue - Hidden Gem!

We held our wedding at Sound River Studios in October 2023, and it was an absolute dream. From the moment we began planning, Una was incredibly supportive, ensuring every detail was perfect. The venue itself is a hidden gem in NYC — modern, spacious, and versatile. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the space, and it provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. Sound River Studios truly made our wedding unforgettable, and we're immensely grateful for the fantastic experience.
