We hosted a wedding here. Shout out to Rahul! He was in constant communication with me during our function, and everything ran smooth with the staff. Our guest liked the venue, food was good. Initial interaction was with Pankaj, who were incredibly easy to speak with. Price was fair, especially after COVID in Dec 2021. We received humble and excellent customer service here.
Had my nieces bridal shower in the upstairs room. love the atmosphere was bright and beautiful with clear view of the marina to the lovely sunroof . nice and private for a group of about 100 people. Staff was helpful and attentive, especially Rahul who make sure that everything was on point, and our lovely bartender who was very friendly. highly recommended and thank again Rahul for making our event special. Excellent food!!
I had to postpone my wedding last year due to covid. Mr. Hasan was very accommodating to the circumstances and worked with us to help schedule a new date to this year. The venue was super responsive and organized with coordination. The place was clean and the food was served appropriately. Staff were extremely friendly. Rahul the floor captain was very helpful and attentive during the event. Excellent service. Highly recommend!
Nice place for an event. The manager was pretty helpfull. The only downside was at the end of the party that bold guy showed up and started telling everyone that party was over with a really bad attitude... He needs a little costumer services training if he wants to be in that industry.
Great place for a wedding, reception, or any celebration . The staffs were very professional as well as helpful. I had my wedding and reception here on September 21, 2017 and all staff and managers made sure I had everything I needed. As a bride you want everything to run smoothly and it did. The food was amazing. Beautiful place inside and out. Great view.
Went to a bunch of weddings at this location. Itβs by the bay, and has a nice vie or the docks and all the boats parked in the area. Close to flushing meadow park and great area to go for a jog. Parking lot is also always open and is great area to teach someone how to drive. All that being said. The actual venue is nice and Asian owned I believe and do provide good service and catering for weddings and or any event. Kind of small interior, but great lighting and prices. They do have a outdoor space for seating if you have the $. Personally I would recommend it to anyone on a budget.
Attented a family function couple of weeks ago. Such a great and friendly staff. Delicious food and nice cocktails. The steak was very well done and i loved the appetizers too. Bartender was hilarious and had an awesome personality. Great to see people who enjoy their work. But overall experience was amazing. Beautiful view and great location. Lot of parking space. Kudos to the wait staff.
Food was abundant & all dishes tasty n hot. Open bar limited yet quick. Service persons timely very pleasant. Had great social interactions (unrelated to Marina). First attended never been previously. Bathroom super clean also at the event end.Worked @ true 5 star (212) hotel so I understand any difference. WFM β
The Worlds Fair Marina is such a great venue for any event! The view from the Marina was awesome and there are boats you can take to site-see the city. We got to join a tour of the Statue of Liberty and it was a great experience. The boat was very large with an attentive staff that truly cared about the safety and happiness of the guests. We hope to be invited back soon!
We had our daughterβs Wedding last night July 18 at Fair Marina and And the one who attended our wedding we had around 300 people on the main floor and the floor upstairs and was a fantastic time. Every one of our guest loved the food and the service. Mr. Raul And his crew did a fantastic job. AlsoMr. Hassan Was a great help from the first step to the end for our daughterβs wedding Party. I want to say thanks to everyone Keep up the good work.Thank you
Free parking, free parking, free parking. Close to all the major highways, so easy to get to by car. Not sure how accessible it is by mass transit. We went out on the Skyline Princess for a private event. Nice boat. Captain was great. For the convenience of being local, its worth the visit. Dont think its as costly as Manhattan so that is plus as well.
I attended a wedding here and it was not up to my expectations. I understand its a business but quality should be better. The linens were white and it was dirty with stains. The food was substandard, it was dried and tasted like cardboard. The whole presentation was very poor. The cake was poorly done. The only thing that was good was the DJ and the staff was very helpful and friendly.
Been here a few times. Beautiful banquet hall for events. Good amount of parking and right off a pier. One thing I would say is that its a little isolated so Emergency Response is slow. We had a guest that had alcohol poisoning and the EMT didnt show up even after 30 minutes. That may be a consideration for someone in case they have a lot of at risks or elderly guests.
Had my daughter sweet sixteen party on Sept 2, 2017, The staff was Excellent, and very accommodating, the food and presentation was 5 star quality. I recommend this catering and banquet hall for any event. You and your guess will have the time of your life, ENJOY!!!!!
We hosted my sisters Sweet Sixteen at Worlds Fair Marina Restaurant and Banquet Hall. Pankaj and his team were wonderful to work with. Pankaj hands down made the process easy from booking to planning the menu. This isnt the first weve hosted an event here. We hosted before the renovations and it was great. But even more beautiful after the renovations.you cannot fail with booking this venue. Whether its the first floor or the second, your guests will love the beautiful of the Marina alongside their meal. This venue is and will continue to be a family favorite.
I have attended Worlds Fair Marina many times, and overall, the service there has been improving after each visit. What I love is the capturing views from inside to outside, and it just goes with any occasion being held there. Its very worth booking and reserving for any party, whether it be a birthday or wedding, its no doubt the better choice over other catering places. Thumbs up.
TO BOATERS NO GAS DOCK UNTIL CITY ISLAND!!GAS DOCK CLOSED 2 YEARS AGO after dock was deemed unsafe! docking marina ONLY! NO GAS was destroyed in Sandy never rebuilt! Closest GAS DOCK is by the bridge on the North West Side of City Island. We were heading back south so heading further North wasnt in our cards.
The man who runs the place is so very kind. However, this place is literally a hole in the wall. Things are falling apart, the climb to the office was dreadful, the walk to the bathroom was through the kiddy party that was happening below the wedding-AND you could hear it. The concrete on the outside is unkept. I would not recommend this place!
I was at this location a few days ago where my shoes got stuck on the stairs and fell from the 2nd step all the way down to the bottom of the stairs. The ambulance came and took me to a trauma center hospital. I am in a lot of pain with internal bleeding. The owners nor any representative call to find out how I was doing. This is very disappointing as the owners only seem to care about their profits and does not give 2 hoots about the guest. This place is very dangerous and not sure if they are up to all the building codes. This place is an accident waiting to happen because many of my friends also had to take extra precaution on the stairs. There is no restroom facility at the upstairs banquet hall so everyone had to use these stairs to use the restroom. There is no elevator acessable to the guest. If u ever find yourself here, be careful. I will give them a negative 5 stars!!
Horrible food and service. Windows arent clean so the view of the bay obstructed. Management is offputting in their lack of desire to accommodate guests. During a wedding, owners and management walked throught the space with vendors talking loudly as though the guests werent right there. Party on the main floor was loud and their music overpowered the sanctity of the wedding ceremony, without managment showing respect for the nuptials upstairs to ask them to turn it down a bit, or just not booking a party and a wedding at the same time. Would never return, even for a dogs party.
Most of my family & friends just use this place for different occasions.. The owner is extremely nice & each party were super hit because everything goes on proper schedule also the staff members are friendly. The quality of food is not bad & their speciality mango drink is amazing...
Awful place, dont go here. If I could give this place zero stars I would. We had a retirement party there in August. We work near by so this would have been an ideal place to host parties, but after our experience with them, well never go back. Convenience doesnt out weigh quality and standards.First, BE AWARE - you do not get all the food they say. Even though you pay for and sign a contract for a certain menu, you dont get all the items listed. Also, the sundae bar is two tubs of ice cream on ice; no sprinkles, no toppings, nothing; again, even though they said there would be. Second, the food is sub-par. Some of the hot food was cold, the beef medallions are just sloppy chunks of beef with no knives to cut, you can get a better antipasti platter from an Italian deli, the chicken marsala was oily, and the ice cream was grainy. Third, the dinner came out late, and the staff were still setting the room up AFTER the party began. Fourth, there are only 1 womens & 1 mens bathrooms for the entire place. So if you have a party on the second floor you must go down stairs and through the other party room to get to the bathrooms. Good luck if there are two parties going on at once. Fifth, the 18% gratuities included in the price dont go to the staff working your party, you must tip them separate.After our party I e-mailed them asking why we didnt get all the food items, would the money we paid for those items be refunded, and where the 18% gratuity went. They havent replied back. This place is awful.
I came here for a T-MOBILE event. The place is pretty much in the middle of nowhere in Queens but very close to City Field, the Mets stadium. I love the venue. Im not sure if this place is a restaurant on the regular when not hosting events such as the one I attended but if so, I would love to take my lady here.
A little confusing to locate the banquet hall because the google map directions takes to the main gate and whereas banquet hall is far apart. Almost 90% visitors lost the direction of Banquet Hall. Instead of 1 Worldβs Fair Marina it should be identified as 2 Worldβs Fair Marina. Otherwise Banquet hall itself is an excellent meeting or party center. Neatness and tidiness needs to be improved.
Had a birthday party here .food was cold and The workers were so rude . They kept on asking for tips from our guests and us. They guy incharge wanted us to pay all the workers hundreds of dollars for serving us even after we gave thema good tip.he just wouldnt stop.felt like we were being harassed ..be aware.
Im a wedding photographer, I did hundreds of event in this party hall. I use to love this place, location, areal view and food was good. As long as the new manager join he is a big Mass up. Ive joined a event last month and the first floor was packed, over flowed. Theas no place to sit or stand to eat not even in lobby. My client told u can eat up stairs and there was no no party. So we stepped into 2nd The new manager suddenly appeared and start behaving like a dog. He also fight with my client also where as the owner ( Sardar Ji) is a extreme polite personality. After that incident I talk to several people the said the same thing that guy found anybody not very closed to host or a vendor he Behave like this.
My husband and I had our wedding here on July 11th, 2016. We had a fusion Indian-Russian wedding with 2 separate wedding ceremonies (Hindu inside and Christian outside) followed by an evening reception. We absolutely loved our wedding at WFM. The venue is gorgeous and we fell in love with it from the very first time we visited. The inside is beautiful with floor to ceiling windows and elegant lighting. The outside gazebo was transformed by the in house decorator. The venue is located right on the water and the weather was perfect, making it a breathtaking location for outdoor photos. The owner Mr. Swaran Singh, Jay, and Pankaj were great to work with and were always available to answer our questions. The food was delicious and the menu diverse enough to offer great options for guests from both sides. Overall, choosing to have our wedding at WFM was one of the best decisions we made.
This place is a worst place ever , I booked it about a year ago for my wedding and my wedding got postponed due to my dad health. So my husband went there and asked for the refund because we werent sure when are we going to do the event again. And he directly refused to give us the refund, he said the office policy is theres no refund if you cancel or change. So my husband was like but my father in law is very sick and we dont when are we going to do it again. But he kept saying that no refund so my husband asked at lease you can give some of them because when we went there he clearly said that if you cancel then they will charge $100 but I gave 500$ deposit at least he could Ive gave us 400$ back. So sucks and they are not well educated such as bs place . dont recommended any of my friends. Only reason I have to one star its because its mandatory otherwise its a zero star place.
I got married at the WFM Banquet last week-beautiful views, gorgeous interior windows, chandelier and sunroof in the lobby area. The best part about WFM is its Always-Available Manager Mr. Hasan! He is a very hardworking individual who makes sure that things are running smoothly on the day of the event and a week prior to meet with you and ensure all the details are squared away so there are no surprises. He was super helpful in making sure the itinerary was set before the big day and all we had to do was show up. He made a special and sweet effort to do the cocktail hour with the set up I had expressed to him was to my liking. He came over to me on the big day to show it to me which made my night. Hasan, thank you for being there to answer us questions and treating us so nicely-WFM is lucky to have a manager as classy as you!
My wife was planning a Birthday party. We went there to meet Vishal, to arrange the party. We agreeded to a Cash price. When we went back to pay, we met the owner. He said that there is no way the price Vishal gave us was possible. He called Vishal and he said he didnt know what we are talking about. While waiting for this to be clarified, we took a look around. They were having a function.Wow. What a dump. The quality of this place has declined so much...the table cloth were dingy and faded, the outlets had Scotch tape holding it up.Thank God there was this misunderstanding... We took our money to another place.

2022-06-07I had the great pleasure to provide decor for my client at this venue and it was simply stunning. The staff was so great to work with as well. I definitely recommend- they have an excellent space where vendors can create beautiful displays for your special event.Check out this install and more @_ballooncolor_

2021-09-28Its very nice place and close to the water. A good place for celebrating ceremonies like wedding, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries and any events.You can also enjoy the view to see airplanes because its near Laguardia Airport. There is a parking lot also.Go enjoy your parties in that place.

2022-04-19I wanted to book this place for my daughterβs birthday. We have decided the date, the total amount on Monday and then I was told to call again for paying down payments on Wednesday because he is out of office for a couple of days. Unfortunately someone called on Tuesday and told me that the place is already booked for that and someone paid the deposit and we failed to do so. So unprofessional!. I am giving two stars because I liked the place and I donβt know how is their service.

2022-06-01This hall is not for wedding at all. The ceiling is dirty that never bother to clean and poor lighting by the stage. The height of ceiling for the stage is short and very small space because the door occupied half the space. Food isnβt that good either. This hall suitable to birthday parties etc but not for weeding.

2022-06-26Donot have any party there. Your private adventure very important to you and your guest. I had a party today second floor till 5 oβclock 4 oβclock to turn the AC off it was 8990Β° hot it was so crazy the way they were kicking us out hour before our time.While we were eating they were standing there to pick up our plates after we told them that you were not down but they were still standing there making us very uncomfortable.Itβs not worth it to have a party here if youβre spending money you can find a better place. Chicken tikka masala sagh paneer was so bad nobody could eat. The liquors were really watered down.

2022-06-08Had my wedding here and would have it here again if asked. From start to finish, the team was very responsive and flexible with our needs. They have a lot of connections (such as a contracted in-house DJ and decorator) which made the planning easy without a wedding planner. Vishal and Pankaj were great to work with and our in-person meeting with Pankaj during our final payment a few weeks prior to the wedding made me any my folks feel very much at ease about the event. Day of went down without a hitch and everyone loved the venue, the decor and the food. I appreciated everyones familiarity with south asian weddings because it made my job easier. We had special requests to ask if the meat was hand-cut zabiha halal and for a prayer space to be available upstairs during the event, and both of these queries were answered and/or accommodated. In fact, any question we had, Vishal or Pankaj had an answer for in a timely manner (or gave us the contact of who could help) and were always available by phone and quick on email.

2020-07-13Ive actually never stepped foot inside the marina (an event hall), but I love strolling along Flushing Bay (the water). The water is calm and beautiful. Plenty of shade along the walkway. A good place to jog or hang out with your friends/family. Ive seen people fish in the water but I have never gone fishing. And I dont believe that the fish in the Bay is right for consumption. But the Flushing Bay is a gem. One of my favorite parts of NYC

2022-03-17Celebrated my wifes 30th birthday and we had an amazing time.All thanks to Hassan uncles exceptional managing skills which ensured all went well during the party. Thank you again Hassan uncle for one of the best events of my life.My favorite appetizers were dosa balls, lollipop chicken, fish pakora, and the Kati roll live station. Additionally, hands down one of the best butter chicken in town. All our guests were very satisfied with the food items, everything taste delicious.Highly recommend others to do their event in Worlds Fair Marina. Trust me, you will not regret it. I forgot to mention one important detail, they also have a beautiful view of the water.Thank you again for everything!I will certainly do other events here in the future.
