Why We Love Battello
Battello sits right on the Jersey City waterfront with breathtaking views of the NYC skyline, and the food here is some of the best in the business, which sets a high bar for everything else in the room. The exposed brick walls throughout the space are a great backdrop for amber uplighting, a warm tone that complements the brick rather than fighting it, and it is a touch we highly recommend for any wedding here.
What Entertainment Works Best at Battello
A DJ or full band both work well in Battello’s industrial chic space. The brick backdrop and skyline views give the room a sophisticated, modern energy that suits a band’s live presence just as well as a DJ’s flexibility. Amber uplighting against the brick is the detail we’d point to first, it elevates the whole room without overpowering the space’s natural character.
Ceremony Music at Battello
A string trio or string quartet is a strong, elegant choice if your ceremony is on site at Battello, especially with the skyline as a backdrop. A violin and cello duo also works well for a more intimate moment.
Cocktail Hour Music at Battello
A jazz trio fits Battello’s sophisticated, waterfront energy well for cocktail hour. An acoustic duo is a good option for couples who want something more relaxed while guests take in the views.
Reception Entertainment Options
DJ: A strong choice for Battello’s modern, industrial space, with an event host who can read the room and keep the energy moving against the skyline backdrop.
Band: A strong fit for couples who want a fully live reception, with the brick and amber uplighting giving the room a warm, energetic backdrop for a live performance.
