The Roosevelt Hotel

My wedding was on November 12th, 2011. The minute we met our coordinator for the venue, Ferinoosh Khosravi, we immediately felt comfortable with booking our wedding in the grand ballroom. Where do I begin? Ferinoosh was absolutely amazing from begin to end. The ballroom was a dream. The food was amazing. The staff was friendly. The entire evening felt like a dream out of a fairytale story! My guests cannot stop talking about my wedding in the Roosevelt hotel!

We had our reception in The Grand Ballroom at The Roosevelt Hotel in NYC on October 29, 2011. Our friends recently had theirs here too and highly recommended it…now we know why…it was absolutely fabulous and we didn’t want it to end! Despite a surprise snow/ice storm, it turned out to be an amazing party venue and everyone at the hotel seemed to be excited to help us celebrate! The attentiveness and personalized service was top notch in every aspect. The catering manager, Ferinoosh Khosravi, is definitely a pro at wedding planning and takes great pride in helping to ensure a fabulous event all around. We encourage you to seriously consider The Roosevelt for any function and especially for a wedding that is sure to be managed smoothly and provide a lifetime of warm memories!

Everyone we worked with at the Roosevelt were very helpful and efficient. They made everything run smoothly and our day was memorable and happy. The food was fantastic, which was important to us, and all the guests have complimented it.

I was very happy that I got married at The Roosevelt. Ferinoosh was so responsive and a great communicator that I was very informed and at ease. The ballroom looked great and the overall hotel has a great old world New York charm about it that was perect.Great location for pictures too!

I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding.... To top it all of I had the PLEASURE of working with the amazingly gifted ferrinouch. She brought my wedding to life ! Everything qwas gorgeous .The Roosevelt hotel is beyond highly recommended.. thank you soooo much

Ferinoosh Khosravi was my wedding coordinator for the Roosevelt Hotel. My husband and I were married on 6/12/2010. I am a detail-oriented, controlling perfectionist and I cannot think of a single complaint. Everything was PERFECT. Ferinoosh was the most attentive, creative, and wonderful person to work with. The hotel staff really are incredible - everyone was so attentive to our guests and the whole night ran so smoothly. I am a chef, so I do not say this lightly, but, the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Every single bite was glorious (and yes, I ate a ton at my own wedding). Really, could not have dream of more - it was a fairytale come true and I recommend this venue with all my heart.

The Roosevelt Hotel exceeded our expectations. During a very hectic day, all our issues and concerns were addressed and resolved. We worked with Ferinoosh and her care and professionalism guided us throughout the planning and the day of our daughter's wedding.

I had a great experience with The Roosevelt Hotel. Our catering manager was very professional and responsive to our needs.

The Roosevelt was a great wedding venue! We had such a great time and the staff worked so hard to make the event so magical for us.

My husband and I were thrilled with the value of our reception package. Our guests' needs were all addressed, including special dietary needs, we all addressed with style and elegance. We heard from numerous guests that this was the "best wedding" they had attended. The food was delicious, our coordinator, Ferinoosh, was professional and attentive, and the setting was comfortable and sophisticated. You will not regret choosing the Roosevelt as your reception (or ceremony) venue.

The Roosevelt Hotel provided our dream wedding reception. After a traditional ceremony at our church, we celebrated with family and friends at a reception that several guests called "the best wedding" they ever saw. Some guests even sent us "thank-you" messages for inviting them to such a great party, and some asked if we would renew our vows every year and celebrate repeatedly at the Roosevelt Hotel. We started planning a year before the wedding with Ferinoosh Khosravi, senior catering sales manager at the Roosevelt. Before signing our contract with the Roosevelt, we had visited at least 6 other wedding reception venues, and none of them were flexible or creative or large enough to help us realize our vision for a customized wedding reception package. With Ferinoosh's help, we created a unique evening for close to 240 guests that was equal parts a cool night club for co-workers with VIP lounge furniture, a church social coffee hour with cocktails and dancing, a family holiday, and a reunion of high-school and college friends -- a fun night for all ages, from 7-year-old children to 83-year-old senior citizens. The food was magnificent, the service was classy and friendly, and the grand ballroom could not have been grander. Our out-of-town relatives stayed at the Roosevelt for 4 nights (so they could turn the wedding trip into a mini-vacation in NYC), and they were treated like royalty for their whole stay. And the bridal suite was amazing, and the family enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the Roosevelt Grill on the morning after the wedding.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Roosevelt Hotel this past May. We partially choose this location for our wedding because our ceremony was at Saint Patrick's cathedral right around the corner but also because the ballroom is breathtakingly gorgeous. The high ceilings and old-world romance is unparallelled by any other venue that we looked at in Manhattan. While planning our wedding, I was in constant communication with my coordinator at the Roosevelt, Ferinoosh. I was so fortunate to have Ferinoosh help me plan our wedding. She really went above and beyond her job as coordinator, often given me advice on vendors, visions, and insider tips. Once we got closer to the wedding, Ferinoosh and I spoke nearly every single day. Since I had a very elaborate wedding, there were many vendors and details to coordinate. On the night of our reception, she was there still overseeing everything and making sure all went to planned.There were a few mishaps, but nothing that would make me regret our decision to have our reception at the Roosevelt Hotel. First, our wine (which we paid extra to upgrade) ended up being wrong and down-grading - A very sad detail for my wine-loving father. When Ferinoosh realized what had happened, she felt very badly and compensated with us extra add-ons. We had an extra hour of our reception as well as after dinner cordials which were both greatly appreciated! Additionally, our special champagne flutes were misplaced after the reception but luckily they were returned to us a few weeks (or maybe months...) after the wedding.I would highly, highly recommend having your wedding reception at the Roosevelt Hotel. Ferinoosh and the rest of the staff worked extremely hard with my husband and I on making our wedding day perfect and unique. My favorite things about my reception at the Roosevelt Hotel:-Ferinoosh, a hands-on, one of a kind wedding coordinator-Value, way, way cheaper than any of the other large reception venues in Manhattan-Delicious food during the cocktail hour and dinner-SYLVIA WEINSTOCK WEDDING CAKE, all included with your catering package-Beautiful, romantic ballroom that holds large weddings

We used the Roosevelt Hotel as our Reception Venue only. We worked with Ferinoosh for the second half of the planning process because our original contact left the company. Ferinoosh was very professional, accommodating and extremely organized. Our ma�tre d' was wonderful as well. The wedding cake, designed by Sylvia Weinstock, was included in the package. We also had a complementary suite the night of the wedding. There were many perks that made the Roosevelt our top choice. We are so happy to have chosen the Roosevelt for our wedding reception. The evening was magical, the food was delicious and the space was beautiful. We hope to renew our vows in 5 years and celebrate at the Roosevelt again.

Ferinoosh was an absolute pleasure to work with and I felt confident in her and he management of my wedding from start to finish. Her expertise and professionalism exceeded my expectations and the wedding went on without a glitch. The staff was amazing and very responsive and overall a wonderful experience.

They made every effort to please us.

this was one of the best hotels. everyone there was very courteous and the food, drinks, and entertainment were A++. I only wished it were a little closer to my locality, but its a very minor gripe

We got married on June 5, 2010 and the staff at the Roosevelt was exceptional. Starting from when we first met Ferinoosh, she made us feel comfortable and was very helpful throughout the Wedding planning. She explained the setup and gave great advice. We received many compliments about the service and rave reviews about the food. The Ballroom was gorgeous and had that New York feeling that we wanted. Gene our maitre d' was very attentive and professional. We had some people with food allergies and they were given special attention to make sure they were able to enjoy the food. Included in our package was a wedding cake from Sylvia Weinstock and it was amazing! We were also given 3 complimentary suites as part of our package. They had breakfast waiting for me in the bridal suite when I arrived the morning of the wedding. We highly recommend the Roosevelt Hotel for people looking for a true New York feel for their wedding.

Everything went perfectly smoothly with our wedding at the Roosevelt hotel. All of the rooms looked gorgeous, and the hotel could not have been more helpful. We had a great response to the food by our guests, which made us SO happy! Ferinoosh, our coordinator could not have been better. Both our families were very happy with her help.

The Roosevelt Hotel is really beautiful and we got a lot of compliments on the venue. Our banquet manager, Ferinoosh, and maitre'd, Gene, were wonderful and did a fantastic job. Three weeks before our wedding, the banquet manager I had been working with for months left for another job. It made me very nervous at the time, but Ferinoosh stepped in and took over with no problem. She was extremely professional and made sure we had everything we wanted for our special day. The only reason I didn't give them a perfect rating was because a few of our guests who stayed at the hotel told us that the staff at the check-in desk was rude to them. However, everything regarding the wedding itself was great. The ballrooms were beautiful, the food was delicious with very generous portions, and the wedding staff was incredibly nice. Highly recommended!

The wedding hall is your largest expense, there are many things to consider.The Roosevelt Hotel and Christie Castellana did a remarkable job overseeing our day from booking to well after the day of the wedding. She is incredibly detail oriented, she thinks of things that a Bride would never think of and she is a pure pleasure to work with. The staff at the Roosevelt were amazing to us as well as our guests. The rooms were nice and clean. Everything (soup to nuts) was great with the Roosevelt.Responsiveness did not receive 5 stars because our hotel room coordinator did not promptly return our calls (we have incredibly high standards).Value for cost did not receive 5 stars because no matter how you cut it, it's Manhattan and it's expensive - BUT this was the best alternative to a hall in Long Island or New Jersey.
