This celebrated service is a complimentary benefit for members of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce at the Business Builder level and above (but not available to members at the Networker level).
The fee for nonmembers is $500 per event. However, our annual Business Builder level membership is $384, which includes a complimentary ribbon-cutting, plus a full year of networking events, business resources, advocacy, and other marketing opportunities. It makes much more sense to join and get the ceremony plus a year of benefits for less than the cost of the single event. Explore Chamber membership here.
