Coming in at 41 stories tall, the property has everything you need to make your wedding the most memorable and unique day of your life.

Why The Pierre Hotel is the Perfect Wedding Venue

The in-house event planners will ensure that the wedding flows smoothly from one space to the other. Weddings may start with the wedding ceremony in The Cotillion Room, transition to the Garden Foyer or the Rotunda for cocktail hour, and finish with dinner in The Grand Ballroom. You will not have to worry about a thing because they will be in good hands with The Pierre’s 5-star service.

These spaces also do not include the wedding suite that will be available for the couple to get ready on the morning of the special day. Have guests coming in from out of town? That is not a problem because The Pierre Hotel offers room blocks for any out-of-town guests.
