Giando on the Water

"Photographing Briana and Jacob's wedding at Giando on the Water was like stepping into a fairy tale. From the moment I arrived at this picturesque waterfront venue, I could feel the magic in the air, and I knew I was in for an unforgettable day. Giando on the Water provided the most breathtaking backdrop for Briana and Jacob's love story. With the Manhattan skyline as their backdrop and the gentle lapping of the East River, every moment felt like a scene from a romance movie. As a photographer, I had the honor of capturing the raw emotion and genuine love between Briana and Jacob. From the tear-filled vows to the infectious laughter shared with family and friends, every moment was a treasure to photograph. The staff at Giando on the Water were more than just professionals—they felt like family. Their warmth and attention to detail ensured that Briana and Jacob's day flowed seamlessly, allowing me to focus on capturing every precious moment. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the city, I couldn't help but feel grateful to be a part of such a beautiful celebration of love. Briana and Jacob's wedding was a true reflection of their love and commitment to each other, and I feel honored to have been able to capture it all. To Briana and Jacob, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Your love story is a beacon of hope and joy, and I'm grateful to have witnessed the beginning of your forever. And to the incredible team at Giando on the Water, thank you for providing such an enchanting setting for Briana and Jacob's wedding. Your passion and dedication made their day truly magical. Warmest wishes, Andrew Allen Andrew Allen Media"

"I coordinated a fundraiser Gala at Giando on the Water and had a wonderful experience. Joe was incredible and accommodating throughout the entire prep/planning process. He responded to questions and last minute requests immediately. Lucy, one of our maitre d’s was helpful and pleasant to work with. She helped out immensely during setup and went above and beyond on the day of the event. Paul was also kind and helpful! The staff was professional and friendly. They made sure that our guests were tended to and went out of their way to ensure that I had something to eat during cocktail hour and the main reception. I’m usually so busy during events that I don’t have the opportunity to stop and eat and they made sure I was enjoying the delicious food too. Would 100% recommend and looking forward to hosting another event there in the future!"

"Had the best time celebrating my engagement at Giando. I also had my sweet 16 here years ago! Joe and Lucy made sure every thing was perfect. The food is outstanding. The views are magnificent. I will always reach out to Joe for future family parties to come!"
