After searching through literally dozens of potential wedding reception locations I stumbled upon the Rockefeller Center at the Heights Rockefeller Building. The outside building is not extraordinary (basic tudor style) but the inside is highly unique. You walk up a flight of stone stairs with iron bars to immediately view a large fireplace. There's beautiful chandeliers and gothic stone arches as well as high ceilings which have stenciled designs.
There's some eclectic touches such as tapestries, a beautiful stained glass window, some unique paintings, and old bank vault and a zebras head (the zebra head could stand to go). If you're looking for something beyond the boring low-ceilinged plain banquet hall this is the place.
