Wedding Entertainment at Guastavino's
Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians beneath the landmark tile vaults.
Cathedral vaults deserve a celebration that soars
Beneath the 59th Street Bridge, Guastavino’s is one of New York’s great architectural interiors — Rafael Guastavino’s soaring Catalan tile vaults over granite arches, a full mezzanine, and a private garden with the bridge overhead.
Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury New York weddings since 2008. Under forty-foot vaults, sound is the craft — and with after-parties running as late as 4 AM, this is a venue for couples who want the night to build, and build, and keep going.

What entertainment costs at Guastavino's
Entertainment for a Guastavino’s 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.
