Our experience with CBH was nothing short of perfect! We had a small 54-person cocktail hour and reception, both in the Othmer Library, and we could not have dreamed of a more perfect space. The overall atmosphere of the library was incredible, and we leaned hard into the old-world feel of the space. Our guests were in awe when they walked in, and the fact that we were able to be involved every step of the way made it so special. CBH works exclusively with Purslane as their caterer, and all communication was done through Purslane, who are also amazing and make fabulous food. (We had many raving guests.) They also help arrange all the rentals, create the run of show, and ensure the night is running along as planned, which it did! A few things we weren't expecting: - The library itself is on the smaller side, so if you want to have dinner and dancing there, you're looking at 60 people tops. This worked out fine for us with plenty of room for a dance floor, but we did have to significantly cut our guest list. - Since the building is a historical landmark, no food or drink that could stain (red sauce, red wine, coffee, etc.) was allowed. This never bothered us, and none of our guests even noticed since we had a fully stocked bar and incredibly delicious food. - We were required to hire a professional day-of coordinator. This was not part of our budget, so be prepared if it's not in yours either. We ended up working with Mostest since they were the least expensive service we could find, and they were amazing. It turned out to be so useful to have our DOC there, so we're happy this rule was imposed, as it led to a seamless night! - The library set up a new exhibit a few weeks before our wedding in the Fransioli Gallery where we were to have our cocktail hour, and we did not know what it would constitute until a few weeks out. We ended up deciding the contents of the exhibit weren't very well suited to a wedding, and CBH/Purslane were incredibly accommodating, offering to put up pipe and drape or move the cocktail hour. We chose to move it to be in the Othmer and were so happy with that decision. Overall, CBH is a 10/10! Our wedding felt like a dream, and anything we had to sacrifice was far outweighed by the stunning space. We would highly recommend CBH as a venue if you're looking for a more intimate night with immaculate vibes!

Selva was the perfect venue for our wedding! Hands down. From the beginning, their communication was excellent - they were always punctual in responding to our questions and extremely attentive to our needs. The venue itself was incredibly spacious, with a unique and vibey atmosphere that our guests raved about all night. They were so helpful with the set up and break down, and the bar team were the real MVPs - they were fun, friendly, and kept the drinks flowing all evening.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even begin! First off, my wife and I had a fairly large wedding for NYC, roughly 200 people, so when we started to look at venues, we were so nervous about what we would find. Rule of Thids was actually the first venue we saw, and we were blown away by the space. If you’re renting out the full venue, you get access to the entire restaurant, plus the event space, as well as the outdoor area. It makes the flow of the wedding so nice, so everyone wasn’t crammed into one space as they were trying to flip it for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. We were also able to rent out the photo studio attached to the sake shop to get ready in, so we were on-site all day, which was AMAZING. We could easily discuss things with our day-of coordinator, florist, etc., and the space was so large and had impeccable light (our makeup artist and hair stylist were super happy with it!). We chose to use the venue coordinator, Julie, as our day of coordinator, and we cannot say enough good things about her. She was incredibly responsive, super organized, and comes from the wedding industry, so she brought up things that we didn’t even think to consider for the day of that were so helpful. Beyond that, she was so pleasant to work with and just had an amazing, chill vibe that everyone wants from their coordinator on the wedding day. It was also amazing that she works at the venue, so she knew all the ins and outs of the space and could easily coordinate with our other vendors. She helped ensure the bridal party was in the right places at the right time, moved people from room to room when needed, and helped us stay on track with the flow of the wedding, which was perfect and so seamless. She and the ROT team set up the entire space exactly as we envisioned, and everything looked beautiful! The venue is honestly perfect for a wedding. We were able to use private dining spaces in the venue for a photobooth and coat closet, plenty of bathrooms (not something you think about until you go to a wedding with too few!), an amazing outdoor space for guests to cool down/get away from the noise, a huge dance floor area, spacious dining room, and so many bars for our guests to go to. The staff were all amazing, endlessly refilling drinks and food, and everyone was incredibly nice. Even after all of the amazing things above, the best part about Rule of Thirds is the food. From the cocktail hour to the dessert, this food is amazing and well beyond typical wedding standards. We had so many guests tell us how good everything was, and we were told this was the first wedding at the venue where every single canape and raw bar item was eaten, so our guests were very happy! (if you can, splurge on the raw bar because it was so good!!) After the ceremony, they set up a spot for us to sample all the canapes and raw bar items, which we were super thankful for since we would never have eaten anything otherwise. We also had a very specific request for a mazeman noodle dish we had eaten when we toured the space a year prior, and the chef and team made it happen for us, which was AMAZING and so incredibly delicious. If you’re looking for a wedding venue and considering Rule of Thirds, DO IT! We wish we could relive the day all over again because it was so amazing, and we will forever be hoping someone else we know gets married here so we can experience something similar again.

About wedding venues in Brooklyn, NY

Why Is Brooklyn the Perfect Wedding Destination?

Brooklyn gives couples those authentic industrial-chic spaces you just can't find elsewhere, with preserved timber beams and brick walls that tell the story of the borough's manufacturing past. You'll fall in love with waterfront venues like Liberty Warehouse where you can exchange vows with unobstructed views of Lady Liberty and the harbor. If you're dreaming of skyline views, Brooklyn's rooftop venues deliver 360-degree Manhattan panoramas that will leave your guests speechless. Each neighborhood brings its own character; from historic Brooklyn Heights to artistic Williamsburg; creating wedding backdrops impossible to duplicate in Manhattan. Plus your dollar stretches further here, typically giving you more space than you'd get across the East River.

What Are the Different Types of Wedding Venues in Brooklyn?

Brooklyn's venue options showcase its rich architectural heritage in ways that will make your celebration truly unique. Industrial spaces like The Green Building let you celebrate among original timber beams and factory windows for that perfect blend of history and style. If water views matter to you, Liberty Warehouse features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the harbor and Statue of Liberty as your wedding backdrop. Looking for something elevated? The William Vale's 20th-floor space offers fully-accessible luxury with views that will take your breath away. Nature lovers can surround themselves with seasonal blooms at Brooklyn Botanic Garden's Palm House glasshouse while history buffs will appreciate Weylin's restored 1875 Gilded Age details in the former Williamsburgh Savings Bank.

How Much Does a Brooklyn Wedding Cost?

Brooklyn weddings typically run significantly higher than the national average of $6,500-$12,000. Your guest count will dramatically impact what you'll spend on your big day:

Guest CountEstimated Total Cost
50 guests$40,319
100 guests$68,404
150 guests$94,787
200 guests$118,336
250 guests$141,884
300 guests$165,433

Just for the venue alone you're looking at an average of $20,886 in Brooklyn which represents about 22% of your total wedding budget if you're hosting 150 guests. This gives you a realistic starting point when planning your Brooklyn wedding finances.

Which Brooklyn Neighborhoods Have the Best Wedding Venues?

Williamsburg offers you converted industrial spaces like MyMoon Restaurant where you can celebrate in a transformed 19th-century boiler room featuring sophisticated dining spaces with reclaimed wooden details that photographers love. DUMBO gives you those iconic cobblestone streets leading to venues with Manhattan Bridge backdrops perfect for unforgettable wedding photos. If you're planning a smaller gathering Greenpoint's Threes at Franklin and Kent provides an accessible option with intimate charm. Brooklyn Heights surrounds you with elegant venues in historic settings while Red Hook's Liberty Warehouse preserves authentic port architecture with full accessibility and those waterfront views you've been dreaming about.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a Brooklyn Wedding Venue?

When selecting your Brooklyn venue always verify the capacity limits match your guest count; this is particularly important at industrial venues with strict fire codes that won't budge no matter how much you want to squeeze in a few extra cousins. Planning to marry in September? You're not alone as it ranks as Brooklyn's most popular wedding month requiring 13-month advance bookings (417 days) for peak dates. Transportation planning becomes crucial since many Brooklyn venues have limited parking options for your guests. While many venues permit outside catering they may impose fees if you want to bring in your own alcohol so factor those potential costs into your budget.

Which Brooklyn Venues Offer Special Features?

The William Vale in Williamsburg gives you fully-accessible modern event spaces with sweeping views and personalized menus tailored to your taste. Food lovers can enjoy Michelin-starred cuisine at The River Café through four-course tasting menus served in a glass-enclosed pavilion surrounded by water views. If tech matters to your celebration 74Wythe features advanced audiovisual capabilities that support creative remote guest participation beyond basic streaming; perfect for including loved ones who can't attend in person. At Wythe Hotel you'll enjoy French-inspired cuisine from their in-house restaurant Le Crocodile bringing elevated dining to your wedding day.

When Should I Book My Brooklyn Wedding Venue?

You'll typically need to book your Brooklyn venue about 13 months before your wedding date to secure your first choice. September generates the most inquiries with prime dates often secured well over a year in advance. If you're flexible with your date winter weddings between January and March might reward you with lower venue rates and greater date availability with shorter booking windows. This seasonal flexibility could save you thousands while still giving you the Brooklyn wedding of your dreams. Just remember that popular venues book quickly regardless of season so start your venue search as early as possible.
