Wedding Entertainment at Pier Sixty
Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians for Manhattan's largest waterfront ballroom.
A river view deserves a celebration at full scale
Jutting over the Hudson at Chelsea Piers, Pier Sixty is Manhattan’s largest waterfront venue — floor-to-ceiling water views, an outdoor terrace over the river, and airwalls that shape the room from ceremony to full-scale reception.
Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury New York weddings since 2008. Big rooms reward real staging: sound designed for a venue of this scale, a program that moves hundreds of guests seamlessly between spaces, and a floor that stays full to the last song. We’re equally at home with grand multicultural celebrations.

What entertainment costs at Pier Sixty
Entertainment for a Pier Sixty 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.
