Where couples can propose or hold an intimate ceremony
The Mark offers a few distinct indoor spaces for proposals and small celebrations rather than a separately named wedding venue. Options include the private Madison Room inside The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges, the main Mark Restaurant (available for partial or full buyout), the second-floor Meeting Room, and select Mark Suites with terraces.
For rooftop-style or skyline moments, ask the events team about available suite terraces; not all suites have terraces and availability varies.
- Madison Room — private dining room within The Mark Restaurant (designed by Jacques Grange).
- The Mark Restaurant — can be partially or fully bought out for larger receptions.
- Second-floor Meeting Room — a small, residential-feel meeting room overlooking Madison Avenue.
- Mark Suites — select suites offer large indoor space and terraces for private events.
| Space | Typical capacity notes |
|---|---|
| Madison Room | Private dining up to about 22 seated or 30 for cocktails |
| The Mark Restaurant (buyout) | Restaurant buyout capacities listed up to 150 seated (hotel) and higher reception counts on some third-party listings |
| Second-floor Meeting Room | Small meeting room listed around 15–25 guests depending on layout |
| Mark Suites (select) | Suites can offer 1,000 to 4,790 sq ft; some include terraces—ask events for exact suite specs |

Planning timeline and basics
Start by confirming your preferred date and space availability with the events team; popular weekend dates and terrace-equipped suites may book far in advance. The Mark does not publish wedding packages on its main site, so ask the events team for options, minimums, and sample timelines.
Key decisions to make early: guest count, whether you want a seated dinner or cocktail reception, preferred dining partner (The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges or Caviar Kaspia), and whether you need an in-suite terrace. Ask the hotel about preferred or required vendors, delivery windows, and any venue rules.
- Confirm space and date with events team first.
- Decide reception format (seated dinner vs. cocktail reception).
- Request sample menus and bar packages from The Mark Restaurant or Caviar Kaspia.
- Ask about setup/teardown hours and vendor access times.
| Item | When to arrange |
|---|---|
| Reserve space and date | As soon as possible |
| Hire photographer / officiant | 3–6 months ahead (or earlier for popular vendors) |
| Finalize menu and beverage selections | 6–8 weeks before event |
Food, drink, and private dining options
On-site dining options that handle private events include The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges and Caviar Kaspia. The Mark Restaurant serves breakfast through late-night hours and can be reserved for private dining or buyouts. Caviar Kaspia accepts private event inquiries and reservations separately.
Menus and service styles (plated multi-course, family-style, buffet, passed hors d'oeuvres) should be discussed with the events team or restaurant contacts. The hotel recommends reservations through the restaurant phone or Resy for regular bookings; private-event menus require direct coordination.
- The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges — open daily 7:00 AM–1:00 AM; private dining options and buyouts available.
- Caviar Kaspia — open midday into evening, reservations recommended and private-event requests accepted.
- Ask about dietary accommodations, children's menus, and timing for plated vs. reception-style service.
