Looking for an elegant, Gothic wedding venue in the Big Apple?

We’ve got just what you need…

We've unearthed 5 of the most stunning venues in New York City which we think are perfect for your Gothic wedding. Take a look and get inspired…

5. BROOKLYN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Are books a big part of your life?

Do you live for the smell of an old tome, with its gently tea-stained pages?

If so, you’ll adore this stunning New York City wedding venue, where you and your partner will be wed while surrounded by row upon row of gorgeous old books.

Founded in the mid 19th century, the Brooklyn Historical Society was set up to preserve the rich history of the area for future generations. Get married here, and the money you spend will help the society keep going, so everybody wins!

Stained glass windows… Ancient oak woodwork… A rich, Gothic atmosphere… The Brooklyn Historical Society really does have everything you need for the perfect alternative wedding in New York City.

Now all you need is the wedding dress to match.

4. THE EDISON BALLROOM

Embrace the best of old New York with a wedding at the gorgeous Edison Ballroom.

Art-deco at heart, with its crystal chandeliers and silver-gold interiors, the Edison Ballroom is one of the most elegant wedding venues New York City has to offer.

It features a 40-foot stage to host your wedding band (or your own theatrical performance, if that’s more you), and an art-deco dance floor so that you, your partner, and your fabulous guests can waltz into the very depths of the night…

If you’re looking for the right wedding dress for this venue, our bridal ball gowns are perfect (especially our famous black ball gown wedding dress).

3. THE GREEN BUILDING

Would you like a blank canvas on which to paint your perfect day?

But like, a really cool blank canvas that’s more than a century old?

Then you can’t go wrong with The Green Building, an understated wedding venue crafted from an ancient brass foundary, set in Brooklyn’s beating heart.

While beautiful in its own right, the venue’s owners will allow you to dress the place up, and integrate you wedding theme in ways few other venues would permit.

Want a classical 1920’s wedding with corsets and burlesque? No problem - The Green Building will happily accommodate.

Fancy a vampiric black and red wedding pulsing with Rammstein and lit by ultraviolet cyber-lights? You won’t find any pushback here.

The only limit is your imagination (and the health and safety guidelines).

2. LANDMARK ON THE PARK

Deep in Manhattan’s Historic District, on the western borders of Central Park, stands a beautiful piece of neo-Gothic architecture…

Step through the imposing doors, and you’ll be welcomed into Landmark on the Park: one of New York City’s most sought-after wedding venues.

With their highly experienced wedding team, you’ll be free to craft your ideal elegant, Gothic wedding from their vast choice of lighting, music, entertainment, decoration and catering. It’s like an all-in-one package, which makes planning your big day a whole lot easier.

Though you can, of course, mix things up as much as you like.

They’ll also help you arrange your wedding night (the party bit, not the other bit), so you won’t have to travel anywhere else.

To make a real impact at this venue, we recommend our Grand Lady wedding gown. It’s the very height of bridal elegance…

1. NEW YORK MARBLE CEMETARY

Looking for a wedding venue in New York City that’s calm, serene, and just a bit spooky?

Come to the Marble Cemetery, and say your vows in one of the city’s most secluded and private green spaces.

With no monuments to be seen (all tombs are sealed in vaults buried deep beneath the earth), New York Marble Cemetery is a clean, grassy area where you can host a simple outdoor wedding without having to deal with snooping members of public.

Enclosed by 12-foot marble walls, and accessed via a very Gothic wrought iron gate, it’s a great location for a Gothic wedding in New York City. And compared to a lot of venues, it’s quite affordable too.

All you need now is the right dress…

STILL LOOKING FOR A GOTHIC WEDDING DRESS?

At Ivory Black we have a fine selection of Gothic wedding dresses and ball gowns.

Every Ivory Black dress is made by hand to your measurements, and created from scratch in our British studio by one of our masterful designers.

Each dress is made to heirloom quality, which means it’ll stay perfect for years to come.
