From the reviews

I’ve attended several events at Nicotras at the HGI, mostly related to my young daughter’s school events. The venue is flawless, well-maintained and kept, the food is excellent, the service is always great.

We were there couple of weeks ago as vendors for one of the weddings. I won't be reviewing the actual property, but rather employees. On the day of the wedding our bride had a personal dedicated wedding coordinator/assistant Victoria and let me tell you, she did an amazing job.

★★★★★ — Nadiia, Oct 2017

Our function was at the Trevi garden and everything was beautifully arranged, giving the impression of a garden wedding. The meals were very palatable and three choices were provided - chicken martini, short ribs and encrusted fish of some sort. The short ribs were excellent. There was also a salad and a pasta course.

★★★★★ — Ursula, Sep 2023

I had such a wonderful time here for my sisters wedding. The room was absolutely beautiful. I was floored that this kind of place actually existed in Staten island. The service was impeccable, the staff were friendly and generous. The food was probably the best part, every bite was more flavorful than the last.

Getting married at Nicotra's Ballroom

Nicotra's Ballroom comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Nicotra's Ballroom

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Nicotra's Ballroom — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
