Our 5 Favorite Queens Wedding Venues
Queens has quickly become one of New York City’s most exciting places to get married. While Manhattan and Brooklyn often steal the spotlight, Queens offers something truly special: incredible architecture, waterfront views, industrial spaces, historic landmarks, and hidden gems that feel uniquely New York.
As a Queens-based wedding planning team, we’ve spent years celebrating love throughout the borough, and these five venues continue to top our recommendation list. Each offers something completely different, making it easy for couples to find a space that reflects their personalities rather than just following the trends.
Whether you’re dreaming of an industrial loft, a romantic courtyard, a rooftop celebration, or even a vintage airport terminal, here are five Queens wedding venues we absolutely love.
1. Sound River Studios
Best For our Creative or Minimalist Couples *Average Budget: 90k - 130k
If you believe your wedding design should be the star of the show, Sound River Studios is one of the best blank canvases in New York City.
The bright white interior creates a clean backdrop that can transform into virtually any aesthetic. We love to paint those blank walls with colorful florals, draping, light installations, and fun dance floors. Because this is a completely white space, every floral installation, table design, and lighting element has room to shine.
Sound River Studios is set apart by its waterfront location. Couples can exchange vows directly on the pier overlooking the East River before transitioning inside for dinner and dancing. The private boat dock also creates opportunities for unforgettable entrances. Imagine all of your guests traveling to your wedding via boat?! This is a completely Raw space venue, meaning we bring in the staff, the catering, the florals, the tables, the chairs.
Why we love it:
- A true blank canvas for creative design
- Bright, airy white interiors
- Ceremony options directly on the pier
- Private boat dock for a unique transportation option
- Endless possibilities for custom installations
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that you can literally build and customize, this venue gives you the freedom to create it. Give Campbell Events a call and we can start design a wedding that is Uniquely You.

The Foundry has been one of New York City’s most iconic wedding venues for years.
Every room tells a different story. Historic brick walls, ivy-covered architecture, soaring ceilings, intimate indoor spaces, and one of the most beautiful courtyards in the city combine to create a venue that feels both elegant and hip all at once.
One of our favorite features is the secret garden atmosphere. Walking into the courtyard feels like stumbling upon a hidden oasis tucked inside Long Island City. It offers couples an incredibly romantic setting without ever leaving New York. Inside, every space has its own personality, allowing weddings to flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception without guests ever feeling like they’re in the same room all night.

Whether you’re hosting a mini wedding on the fifth floor or a large wedding with a multi floor buy out, the layout adapts beautifully to different guest counts and design styles.
It’s also one of our favorite venues for ambitious event design. The soaring ceilings and built in rigs make it possible to install dramatic hanging floral installations, suspended lighting, or statement décor that transforms the room.

One of our favorite features is the hidden speakeasy, which creates an amazing atmosphere for getting ready or late-night drinks. Upstairs, the rooftop offers beautiful skyline views, and because it’s covered during the winter months, it remains usable year-round.
