Venues
And we can’t forget this very important part of the wedding… where it actually takes place! There are many options available in Brooklyn, but we’ve narrowed it down to these favorites, all of which guarantee you a fun and festive reception experience.
Brooklyn Winery: We think it’s been pretty well-established that weddings and drinking go hand in hand. So why not facilitate that happy pairing by holding your wedding in the lovely Brooklyn Winery? Full of reclaimed wood and vintage accessories (plus a spectacular succulent garden wall!), you and your guests will be able to enjoy the wine that’s made on premise in an elegant yet modern Williamsburg setting. And as good as the wine is, the food measures up, too; a finely crafted menu includes things like fried buttermilk chicken bites and fluke crudo.

Smack Mellon: This art space is in one of the most picturesque buildings in DUMBO (a neighborhood with plenty of picturesque buildings). Located right under the Manhattan Bridge, Smack Mellon boasts soaring ceilings; a huge, open event space; and all the amenities needed to bring in your favorite caterer. Plus, you have the added bonus of supporting a great art institution. But forget being altruistic—the spectacular views are reason enough to get married here. They’re spectacular.

The Green Building: This loft-like space—with it’s exposed brick walls and history as a brass foundry—is perhaps the quintessential Brooklyn event location. And the possibilities of what to do in the raw space are almost endless. The only thing preventing you from having your dream wedding here is your own imagination. So start dreaming!
