If you’ve been dreaming of getting married in the Big Apple but want to have a small ceremony, you’re covered with this list of intimate wedding venues in NYC. From a stylish wedding in Manhattan to a hipster wedding in Brooklyn, you can find the perfect venue for your big day at one of these memorable Peerspace locations. After all, as the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, it only makes sense that we’d be your hook-up to some of the loveliest one-of-a-kind venues in NYC and beyond.
Like all Peerspace venues, each of these spaces is available to rent by the hour from local hosts, and in some cases, you’ll have access to on-site catering options, furniture, A/V equipment, and more. And if you need anything else, your Peerspace host can help you source it. Simply reach out to them with any questions or requests.
If standard wedding venues are too big or impersonal (or expensive) for your needs, we think you’ll love these smaller spaces that provide more intimacy without sacrificing quality.

This renovated church in Harlem is a vibrant art and music space that offers a bright, colorful backdrop for your wedding. If a white wedding isn’t your style, consider this event space with a mix of cultural flourishes, like a grand piano, and African drums. Color is everywhere within the unique furnishings and decor. The main hall is large enough to accommodate 50 seated guests, with 24-foot ceilings and 4000 square feet of space. There’s also an outdoor garden area for you and your guests’ comfort.
According to one Peerspace reviewer: “A gem in Harlem. If you are willing to go a little off the beaten path this space is great. Great for shoots, party and the like. Our hosts were very wonderful. Thank you so much for the unique experience.”

This cozy Brooklyn venue is the perfect place for an intimate wedding for up to 20 seated guests (or a cocktail-style reception for 60). With hanging lights, exposed brick walls, and a full kitchen, it offers a homey vibe that you can decorate to suit your preferences. Loud music and DJs aren’t permitted, but small speakers are fine. You can even make full use of the kitchen with an outside caterer.
A previous guest who used the space for a wedding says the following: “It’s a super cute space with a full kitchen and a small backyard space. We held a baby shower here for about 40 people and it was the perfect size with enough tables and chairs to fit all. Would not hesitate to book again.”

This historic ballroom is a great setting for a traditional wedding. It already has tons of decor on-site, like tables and chairs, tablecloths, period furniture, and a full kitchen. The venue fits 130 guests for a cocktail reception and 60-80 guests for dinner.
You’ll have access to the main ballroom, as well as two furnished parlors that you can use as a bridal suite or a photo area. The host also has exceptional add-on offers, such as the use of a disco ball, bar and food service, and delivery intakes.
This is one of those Peerspace venues that gets a lot of love from the community, for both the space and its wonderful hosts. Here is just one example: “We had a wonderful experience! Our event was a success! All our friends and family who attended were very happy and impressed with this gorgeous place! This house is absolutely beautiful and unique! A true hidden gem in Brooklyn! And the owners were extremely kind and courteous, hospitable and Lovely to work with! We are very grateful and I would recommend it to anyone! And all sorts of events! Truly BEAUTIFUL!”
