    Check out the "beach" on Governor's Island, where I know they do private events.  You'd have to arrange for ferry transportation for your guests if it's after the island's closing hours, but I think NY Water Taxi and NY Waterway both have charters that wouldn't be prohibitively expensive.

    Here's what NY Mag said about it in 2010:

    Grown-up Playground:
    Governors Island
    This rehabbed island is a biker’s paradise, but you can also hold your wedding here. Water Taxi Beach accommodates a staggering 3,500 people. Other options include the leafy Nolan Park and the terrace of the Commanding Officer’s House overlooking Buttermilk Channel. Except for Water Taxi Beach, weddings must take place after closing (5 p.m. on weekends). Book during the week for privacy; the island can be reserved April through November.
    Cost: Venue fee is $1,000 an hour (includes setup and breakdown). Catering by Harbor Experience starts at $100 per head. Ferry charters are available for $1,000 per hour (two-hour minimum) and are required when the island is closed to the public. 212-440-2200; govisland.com
