Trump SoHo New York : luxury wedding venue and hotel in Manhattan

I was recently invited to attend a fun event in NYC at the Trump SoHo New York for bridal bloggers and editors. We were able to experience Trump SoHo as a bride-to-be including everything from an overnight stay to primping to partying. It was an experience I will truly remember and I thank Dana, Nubia, Nicole and the entire staff at Trump SoHo for an amazing stay. Today I'll be sharing with you lots of photos that I took with my iPhone as well as all the details on the hotel {which is truly breathtaking}.

Before an amazing dinner, we were treated to a spa suite party experience with mini treatments including make-up and hair while enjoying yummy snacks and drinks. In the Spa Suite collection there are 3 luxury suites that offer the ultimate pampering experience. Two of the suites feature private treatment rooms, and one includes a private sauna for two. All suites feature bathrooms with 32-inch deep Jacuzzi tubs, hydrotherapy jets in oversized showers, a stocked mini bar with healthy snack options, an in-room yoga mat, and a private entrance to the 11,000-sq-ft spa. This is perfect for the bride and her bridesmaids as they get ready for the wedding or are having a fun girl weekend getaway.

After getting beautified, we were able to get into the Rent the Runway dresses we selected. Since my baby bump was a bit bigger than I thought, my back-up size dress still didn't quite fit. But, I came prepared and brought my own black dress along for the event. We all then went to dinner 46 stories above New York's majestic skyline in the glass-enclosed SoHi that overlooks the Hudson River. Words cannot even describe the views from this venue space {and the stunning ceiling treatment that can be color changed - see above photo}. And, being there to see the sunset was absolutely gorgeous. This is the perfect place for a reception that can accommodates up to 80 people for intimate weddings or 150 for receptions. It's also an ideal location for cocktails to be served before heading into one of the other event spaces for your reception or even the after wedding party. Trump SoHo NY boasts more than 12,000-sq-ft of elegant event space. All events are planned with the assistance of the special events team and in addition to SoHi, the other venues include the 3,894-sq-ft SoHo Ballroom, the 2,224-sq-ft Hudson Square, and the 1,026-sq-ft covered Spring Terrace.

And, while we enjoyed an amazing dinner, cocktails {mocktails for me} and yummy mini desserts - we were able to make our own wedding bouquet with the help of Flowers of the World. Here's the creation I came up with - I call it my shabby chic bouquet :)

After the dinner we were able to enjoy a night stay in a luxury deluxe guestroom. Each of these guestrooms feature Fendi Casa furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows. The next morning we enjoyed a lovely breakfast spread in a penthouse suite and as were were led up the suite, we received a tour of a few other suites that are available. What AMAZING views!!!!!

I hope to one day return to Trump SoHo New York - and if you are looking for the perfect wedding location for your wedding, do consider Trump SoHo. Not only, will the event team take care of everything for you, but the entire staff at Trump SoHo New York is super nice and always ready to help in anyway they can if needed.
