Second, the decor and rustic yet elegant vibe really made the night. And lastly, the food was spectacular, from the apps, food station and family style main courses, the food here was top! We really enjoyed the Foundry for a wedding location. While we were guests I can only comment on how nice everything went from the outside.

The Aurora Gallery is an event coordination company, NOT a specific venue; they work with multiple…read morevenues. This review is of how this event coordinator organized our wedding ceremony and reception this September, at a venue called T Studio in Astoria (you can see amy review of that venue separately). Things they organized well: * For the most part the package is reasonably priced and a lot of the things are included (e.g. DJ, photographer, staff, décor) etc. However, as we've learned later (see below), this organizer takes on more than they can logistically handle and it would have been much better if we actually organized some of these elements ourselves. * The food -the restaurant this coordinator ordered catering from was very good. * The décor was in line with what I wanted, BUT...see the list of "buts" below... Things they organized.... NOT so well: * There were multiple warning signs early on that this wedding coordinator is not very detail-oriented. Communicating with her was hard--she took a long time to reply to emails and things were disappearing in the thread. For example, she sent us our wedding contract three times, each time with errors in it. * They set up very late so there's no chance to check everything--and that's too bad. For one: THEY MESSED UP THE TABLE SEATING. I provided a correct seating chart way in advance and we only had 8 tables (!). And somehow they couldn't get that right and put the same guests at two tables, which completely messed up the whole arrangement and resulted in two of our guests actually eating dinner in a back room next to garbage cans (!) because they wanted to sit together. To make it worse, the coordinator was trying to deny it in a conversation with me later. * Multiple things that were part of our package were missing during the event, including a coffee station and a water station. I myself (as bride) had to run to the bar every time I wanted a glass of water, and towards the end of the event the guests informed me that there is no coffee! Which was in our package! They refunded us for the cost of the missing items ($125! Out of ~$14K), but well, we only had one wedding. * The bar RAN OUT OF WINE before the event ended. Already the bar under this company closes 30mins before the end of the event, and all we had on offer for wine was house red and house white. * The ceremony took place on the terrace: there was a loud air conditioning unit that practically drowned out our vows. * I wanted to add a champagne reception to our package, and at the beginning I wanted to manage it myself, but our wedding coordinator offered to take care of it for an extra charge. BIG MISTAKE. They did not get enough champagne and were serving glasses with embarrassingly tiny amounts of champagne at some point. I would have bought the bottles myself had I known in advance! * In general, the staff assistance was non-existent. My parents and multiple guests reported that the staff offered no guidance, the guests were confused as to where they were supposed to go or what to do. * We paid for "passed hors d'oevres " as part of our package, which were supposed to be distributed before the ceremony. My parents reported that a waiter showed up 2-3 times out on the terrace with a small plate of hors d'oevres which lasted for just a few people. * The décor was also included in our package including tables and altar décor. The wedding coordinator did provide a vision board and we discussed getting specific things, like fairy lights and lighting up the aisle with candles/lampions. There were neither. The coordinator said she made a budget decision to not include those -and did not inform me about it! But based on all the other fails my guess is that she simply forgot. The part that particularly irked me was: I found a Love-shaped balloon on Amazon and offered to buy it and bring it for decoration, but the wedding coordinator said she'll take care of it. You've guessed it...there was no balloon. I could have easily done that myself. * My general impression is: when you're planning a wedding, you can't possibly think of every single thing as the bride. That is why you hire a wedding organizer to take off some of the load (and pay them money for it!). Foresight and support was completely lacking from this vendor. I had to think of everything myself and spell everything out, and on occasion even the instructions I gave them were not executed correctly. From things I didn't spell out but I had hope that they will interpret them, here's one example: we provided little bottles of bubbles for guests to use during the ceremony. The event coordinator distributed the bottles on chairs for the ceremony, but provided no instructions to the guests to use them. Result: there were no bubbles during the ceremony or at any point. You just expect that an experienced wedding coordinator would know to "manage" the crowd and give out instructions. Needless to say, I cannot recommend this vendor.

This review is so overdue!…read more We had our reception here last October. The space is huge and you are really able to transform it however you'd like although the managers do help you with some standard seating layouts. We had 120 guests and the size was just right. We had plenty of room for seating buffet tables and dance floor. They even provide a bartender for you to use that night. I'll post some pictures which tell more than I can in the writeup but it's definitely worth 5 stars, and the main reason was John. When crap went wrong he calmed us down. Took us drinks and food in the back and to our table. Reminded us to relax and enjoy. Our DJ which we brought on our own was late and I started to get worked up but John cooled me down. He also helped us plan and figure out a lot of things as we had not a clue in the world what we were doing. He made it worth every penny. They also have many vendors to recommend should you need them. We used theirs for the tables and chairs and also the waitstaff. The prices were reasonable compared to other vendors and trust me, we checked. If you're looking to do a wedding on a budget and paying for yourself, you should use the Aurora Gallery.

Which made sense why there is no bathroom in the actual "space" (UNIT 205) of this workspace building. The only restroom is a building access bathroom on the lower floor for whole building to utilize. Therefore there isn't any running water in the unit space at all for guest to wash hands, bartender to clean accordingly. Seemed very unorganized.

This is a cute tapas bar in Astoria w/chill service - you aren't rushed at all. They have a heated outdoor space but naaahhhh...it's too cold (I was shocked folks still venture to eat outside - they were setting up for an outdoor seating that was due to arrive) Y'all, I fcked up! If you pay with cash, it's 3.5% off however, b/c it was still Happy hour (M-F! Until 7PM )...still felt like a win... But now for the food and dranks..yous already know, it's probably not in order...

The customer service is pleasant and I didn't get any unpleasant surprises at check-in. Actually, check-in was pretty smooth. I've stayed here twice. The first time, I got a balcony room with a nice view of Manhattan. But as it's the middle of a miserable winter, I couldn't care less about a balcony. My view was not cute, but I didn't really care. The room was spacious and had a warm bed. There's a simple but effective fitness center in the basement. It has a treadmill, elliptical, free weights, as well as other stuff. If you're looking to get a workout while away from home, you can put in some decent work here. However, there is definitely some room for improvement. The room does not include a microwave, a fridge, dresser, night stand, closet, nor an iron/ironing board. You can borrow an iron + board by contacting the front desk. Since there's no fridge nor microwave, you pretty much have to order out for each meal. All in all, I enjoyed my stay. But there's is definitely room for improvement.

It's hard for me to review the staff--we didn't really interact with them, since we used an outside wedding coordinator (you can see my review of The Aurora Gallery separately on Yelp), but I know it's two ladies that are the owners. They were around during the event and were nice, though in general did not interfere to my knowledge, as we hired a separate event organizer to manage our event. I definitely recommend this venue for weddings--we had the ceremony on the terrace, they have a nice main area indoor for the dinner and dancing (we only had 50 people and it was more than enough space, but might be a bit tight for more), and they also have an upstairs office/bridal suite. I like the modern, industrial look of this place complete with a large chimney visible from the terrace. We were sold on this space the moment we saw it.

I like the rustic atmosphere, but there are several things that I don't like : 1. There are several pillars in the room. Too many pillars..actually. The room itself is beautiful even with minimal decoration, unfortunately, I couldn't see the bride and groom during the whole ceremony because the pillar just blocked my sight. 2. The stair is really shaky and there are no lights in Stairwell ( they don't have elevator in the building), so it's really dark esp in the night. If you are wearing heels, you need to be super careful.
