Top Rated Wedding Planner in the West Village, NYC
The West Village is the New York City that couples dream about, with cobblestone streets, historic brownstones, hidden garden courtyards, and a neighborhood energy that is warm, romantic, and entirely its own. It is one of the most sought-after wedding backdrops in Manhattan, and for good reason.
But planning a wedding here comes with a specific set of considerations. Venues are intimate by nature. Guest logistics require thought, and the couples who choose this neighborhood almost always have a clear vision: which means they need a planner who can execute flawlessly, not just follow a standard formula.
At O’Neil Events, we work with couples planning weddings across the West Village and downtown Manhattan. We bring 15+ years of NYC wedding planning experience, deep vendor relationships, and the kind of calm, honest guidance that makes a complex vision feel entirely manageable.
West Village Venue Highlight: Houston Hall (New York, NY)
Location: 222 W Houston St, New York, NY 10014, United States
Houston Hall is one of the most distinctive wedding venues in the West Village, and one of the few in Manhattan that genuinely does not need decoration to feel special. Housed in a converted beer hall with exposed beams, skylights, and soaring high ceilings, it accommodates up to 200 guests. It delivers an industrial-chic atmosphere that is warm, characterful, and unlike anything you will find in a traditional ballroom. Couples who choose Houston Hall consistently report that their guests talked about the venue long after the night ended. The food is exceptional, the bar setup keeps guests away from long waits and on the dance floor, and the team treats every wedding like it matters. For couples who want a celebration that feels bold, genuine, and unmistakably New York, this is one of the best rooms in the city.
“Colleen is truly the best! She’s personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly organized. She guided us through the ups and downs of wedding planning, making the entire experience not only manageable but also fun! We couldn’t have pulled off the most beautiful day without her!”

We plan and execute small weddings with the same care and precision as large-scale events, and we know exactly which West Village spaces work best for each guest count.
Elopement planning, West Village NYC

O’Neil Events will coordinate the officiant, the photographer, the reservation, and everything around the moment so you can be fully present for it.
Rehearsal dinner and welcome event planning
The West Village has some of the best intimate restaurants in New York City. We source the space, manage the guest list, and build a short run of show so the evening before your wedding feels as considered as the day itself. Palma’s fairy-light garden courtyard, Lume’s private dining room, and the neighborhood’s collection of beloved independent restaurants give couples exceptional options.

Hi, I’m Colleen —
Experienced West Village Wedding Planner
I know New York like the back of my hand, but I also know the Upstate vineyards, estates, and tucked-away Brooklyn wedding venues that couples fall in love with. My calm presence, trusted vendor relationships, and 15+ years of experience mean you’ll never have to worry about the timeline or whether the shuttle bus will make the vineyard run on time.
Before weddings, I was a Division I lacrosse player, so yes, I thrive under pressure, run a tight ship, and always keep things moving with strategy and grace. Combine that with an obsession for dessert and Diet Coke, and you’ve got someone who balances elegance with practicality.
FUN FACTS:
Diet Coke is non-negotiable.
Dessert belongs at every meal, always.
I will plan your rooftop ceremony, but I will not be looking down.
My toddler and cats keep me grounded, which is useful in this industry.
