I had the best wedding experience on June 7th, 2025 with Giando on the Water. The view is definitely the showstopper, providing truly amazing pictures. From the pre-meetings with Joe and Liz in person and on the phone, to the most attentive wait staff and bar servers, we couldn’t have asked for better. They are truly experts at what they do, always there providing the guidance, organization and the personal touches that exceeded the vision we had for the day. We used their recommended vendors after looking around a bit and it was beyond clear that they knew the layout and acoustics of the building to best optimize our expectations while working flawlessly with the Giando staff. Both my husband and I as well as our parents had appointed people watching out for us all night long. Despite the unpredictable weather, they had a contingency plan in place, and worked with us to make a game time decision as to where the ceremony was happening, inside or out. The food and drink from cocktail hour through dessert were plentiful and of the highest quality with amazingly quick service both at the tables and more importantly at the bar where there was never a long wait. With all of the difficult decisions to be made for getting that single perfect day, the hindsight of choosing this venue was the best one. We highly recommend having your wedding at Giando’s!

Just got married at Giando at the beginning of November and are STILL on cloud 9 from what a perfect experience it was. Would give 10 stars if I could! From the second we started working together with Giando, we felt confident and secure. Joe made us feel right at home and at ease every step of the way. He, Liz, and their team were organized, thorough and meticulous about every detail of the day. He received our crazy questions with a smile and had an answer for everything.
Fast forward to wedding day- the entire staff was incredibly attentive from the moment the family and bridal party got there. They stood by my side and were constantly at my aide. I can’t express my gratitude for the bridal attendants and maître’ds. I could completely shut my brain off all day and they had EVERYTHING under control.
The photos speak for themselves in regards to the beauty and atmosphere of Giando.
Truly, every aspect of our wedding was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you to the amazing people at Giando. I wish we could press rewind!

We had a beautiful fall wedding at Giando on the Water! From the beginning, Joe and his staff were attentive and communicative in helping us plan our big day. Liz and her team did an incredible job prepping the space for us and our vendors ahead of our arrival.
The view from their outdoor ceremony space is unmatched, and while the banquet hall is already a beautiful space with an incredible view, nothing could have prepared us for the look of it at nighttime, filled with our florals, candles, and loved ones.
The food was delicious and never seemed to stop coming (in the best way), and all of the cocktails were excellent. The bartenders, waitstaff, and bridal attendants were all outstanding.
Our guests have not stopped telling us about how much they loved the venue, the view, and the service of the staff. We felt so lucky to find this hidden in plain sight gem of a venue, and would strongly recommend it to any couples who are considering.

Our daughter was married at Giando on 10/31/25. Joe and his staff were above wonderful. The food was a 10/10. If there were more stars that’s what I would give. The view was spectacular. We couldn’t have asked for a better day (10/30 we had a “mini” hurricane). Crisp, clear sunny day was all we could ask for. The NY skyline crystal clear both during ceremony and reception. Just the right back drop for a couple that are NY born and raised. Service, food, staff, Joe, Liz and everyone made the daily flow without a worry or care in the world. Thank you.

Loved the view, and having parking was a big plus!
But the food plating could be better, and I wish they had more menu options

I attended a retirement party here. I got their too late to taste the food but the view was amazing. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The building has several floors of catering space in this particular party was on the first floor. They all have the same view of Downtown Manhattan and the bridges. Definitely a great location in Brooklyn, for sweet 16, cotillion, bar/bat mitzvah or baraka, or a small wedding.

There are not enough words to express how blown away and grateful we are for Giando on the Water – the gem of all wedding venues in New York City, hidden and somewhat under the radar, this venue is bold and refined and we’re so glad we found it by simply walking in Domino Park in July of 2024. From the very first day we met with Joe and Liz at Giando, we knew we were in good hands – literally, as we shook his hand and confirmed booking our date – New Year’s Eve 2025. From July 2024 until the very last song of our wedding, working with Giando was nothing but a joy. Joe and Liz are true working professionals – they know how to run an event and run it well. Their operational aptitude is unmatched and with every request, idea or vision we had to bring our dream wedding to life – they listened, responded and provided real feedback on how we can make what we want to happen, happen in a way that was operationally sound and would be successful for us. Joe is a MASTER operator – he laid our every minute of our wedding with perfection and Liz is a TOP notch seasoned organizer, reviewing every detail (which we had lots of) with precision and assuring no stone was unturned in bringing these details to life on wedding day. We met with them in-person multiple times leading to the wedding and their ability to work with us on everything we wanted to do was so appreciated. Now when it came to wedding day, we were even more blown away and our expectations were not met they were exceeded. Every single vendor involved (and we had many) we welcomed in and helped set-up and produce this dream wedding of ours. We had our ceremony inside the ballroom since it was New Year’s Eve and they did an incredible transformation to flip the room from dreamy white pipe & drape ceremony to moody black/gold reception in less than an hour. We also had a STELLAR cocktail hour – the food was insane (especially the tortellini alfredo, eggplant rollatini & fried calamari) and the drinks were strong (which everyone appreciated). The cocktail room looked gorgeous because of Giando’s wonderful holiday decor matched with the amazing NYC skyline views and our design. Then the reception was our dream event – the salad and pasta course set the tone for food and then the generous entrees (steak, salmon, chicken marsala) were even better than expected with tasty vegetables, potatoes & bread – more than plenty of food for any wedding and some of the most I’ve ever seen at an event! The bartenders did an amazing job during the reception too and the servers were incredible keeping champagne flutes full, wine bottles on every table, beer buckets on tables who wanted them and meeting every need of every guest. Theresa, our bridal attendant was the STAR of the show – she assured my gown was kept white even when a few guests spilled or food got on my dress (she literally cleaned my dress with a tide pen/club soda multiple times throughout the night), she set us up with a plate of every cocktail hour bite to eat, brought out every entree for us to try and never left my champagne glass empty or my husbands hand empty of a beer. She also helped me change from my wedding gown to reception look and made sure my veil during the ceremony was perfect walking down the aisle. The service team at Giando are best of the best, know what they’re doing and do it well and with charm. They even allowed us to have a late night snack L&B Spumoni gardens vendor pop-up and helped with laying out hats to give away at the end of the night, special rock candy to go into our champagne, custom matches for our cigar vendor and assured our custom napkins, signage, etc. were where we asked for it to be. They made it so easy to bring in the vendors we wanted and perfected the wedding night in working so well together with each of them. This WILL NOT be the last event we host at Giando on the Water – the hidden gem of NYC with the most stunning view of NYC, incredible and indulgent food, top-notch seasoned service and a best in class leader – Joe. THANK YOU GIANDO ON THE WATER.

My husband and I got married at Giando’s in March. We have nothing but good things to say about our entire experience!
From our initial phone call with Joe we knew Giando’s was the place we wanted to have our wedding celebration. Joe and the entire staff made the entire wedding planning process seamless.
On the day of the wedding the staff took care of everything and treated us like royalty. They are very well versed in weddings and are always thinking one step ahead. Our guest had nothing but good things to say about the bar tenders and wait staff for their tables. No one ever had an empty drink!
We used the florist (Maddison florist) and DJ (privilege entertainment) that was recommended by Giando’s. Both vendors were incredible and are very familiar with the venue allowing them to give very useful suggestions to help make our party run smoothly.
My husband and I eloped overseas so we did not have a ceremony. This allowed us to arrive to the venue early to take pictures and enjoy the bridal suit. The bridal suit had an attendant that took such good care of us providing food and drinks so we could step away from the craziness of the party when needed. The food was so tasty and there were lots of options including gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. The cake provided by the venue was not only delicious but very beautiful.
The patio was a great space for our guest to enjoy during cocktail hour taking in the views of NYC. The floor to ceiling windows in the reception room were what sold us on the venue giving ourselves and our guest the best NYC experience.
We can not thank the staff at Giando’s enough for giving us the best wedding experience. I highly recommend using Giando’s for any wedding or other parties. We will defiantly be going back in the near future.
