The Venue

Grand halls deserve a grand celebration

Cipriani’s New York venues — Wall Street, 42nd Street, 25 Broadway — are among the city’s most dramatic rooms: soaring columns, marble and coffered ceilings in landmark former bank halls, all carried by signature Italian glamour.

Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury New York weddings since 2008. Rooms of this scale reward real production craft: sound engineered for grand, reverberant halls, lighting that flatters the architecture, and an evening staged to fill the room with energy.

04.25.2026 we had our wedding at Bayview. Unico did an absolute amazing job. He exceeded my expectations in so many different ways. I had very precise instructions on how I wanted dinner to go (rnb sing a long style) and instead of delivering just that, he had everyone up dancing to the rnb play list. When I tell you, I was in complete shock at how someone can read the room so perfectly. He truly is one of a kind. Thank you for putting him on for my wedding. He will be highly requested for any event moving forward.

Genesis took our wedding to the absolute next level - they managed music throughout the night, ranging from a string quartet at ceremony to a jazz trio at cocktail hour to percussion / DJ (Raz) / MC at reception. Damian and Angelina at Genesis totally understood our lofty assignment of a tri-cultural wedding with Persian, Indian, American music. They gave extra prep to the ethnic musics ahead of time, reviewing our song lists and listening/prepping sets. Angelina helped us design our custom DJ booth to match the room. Huge thanks to Damian for bringing our wedding to life. We got so much positive feedback from guests and the dance floor was packed the entire night!

We had an incredible experience with Genesis Events from start to finish. They were the preferred vendor for our venue, and I can see why! We initially met with Dario who gave us our proposal and all the information we needed to make a decision. The meeting with him was so thorough! Throughout the planning, Angelina (name twins!!) was our contact, and she was great! She helped finalize all the little details during our final meeting (which was great because I am so indecisive) and came up with such a pretty design for our Photo Booth! The night of the wedding was amazing. Fabio was our MC and DJ Raz was our DJ. They were both fantastic! Fabio was fun and kept the energy up for all of our guests. He did a great job getting everyone up and dancing for the Tarantella! Before the guests came into the reception room, he quickly went over all the details with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The music provided by DJ Raz was great! We danced so much, our dance floor was never empty, right through to the final song of the night. He played all of our "must haves" and quite a few of our "inspo" list, and some that I didn't even think of but were perfect for our crowd of guests! Truly a wonderful experience with Genesis Events, thank you so much!!

Genesis events did such an amazing job on our wedding on 8/24/23!! Damian, the dj, and the violinist were all so awesome and we've gotten a ton of compliments from guests telling us it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding, and genesis events was definitely a huge part of that. I was so nervous beforehand and asked a million questions, all of which were answered promptly and Damian was so awesome at putting my mind at ease. Thank you so much!!!

What entertainment costs at Cipriani

Entertainment for a Cipriani wedding is quoted to your celebration, not sold off a shelf. A professional wedding DJ is the foundation, and many couples build from there with a bilingual MC, live cocktail-hour musicians, ceremony sound and custom lighting design.

Because every element is optional, the most useful next step is a tailored quote. Tell us your date, guest count and the moments that matter most.
