Tim McLoone's Supper Club was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, their communication was detailed, prompt, and organized like a military operation - we never had to worry about a single detail.

The service was spot on, and in a day and age where there is a shortage of staff, they made sure everything was taken care of. Anything that anyone else needed they were on top of.

I held my local wedding reception at 3BR, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate with friends and family who couldn’t attend our destination wedding. The atmosphere at 3BR was relaxed and welcoming, creating the ideal environment for a more intimate celebration. From the start, the owners were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They kept open communication throughout the planning process and were more than accommodating to our needs. One of the things I appreciated most was their flexibility—they allowed us to transform the space after hours to fit our vision, and they made sure every detail was taken care of. Not only was the space unique and full of character, but the vibe was truly one-of-a-kind. The cocktails were a hit with our guests, and the overall ambiance made it a memorable evening for everyone. The owners were friendly, pleasant, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made the event even more enjoyable. If you're planning a smaller wedding event or reception, I highly recommend 3BR. It’s the perfect place to host a celebration that feels both personal and special. The combination of great service, a fantastic atmosphere, and delicious drinks makes it a standout venue for any occasion.

The buffet-style food offered was not only delicious but also showcased the restaurant's expertise in New American cuisine with a special emphasis on East Asian flavors. What made our experience truly exceptional was the ability to combine American, Italian, French, and Asian dishes. This diverse menu ensured that all our guests' culinary preferences were catered to, adding a fantastic touch to our celebration. The manager was prompt in responding to our inquiries, contributing to the overall smooth planning process. One notable feature that enhanced the ambiance was the well-designed wall, providing an ideal backdrop for our decorations. The inclusion of a music system added an extra layer of enjoyment to the atmosphere. The fair pricing coupled with the quality of the food made Ficus 2nd Floor a standout choice for us. In conclusion, I highly recommend Ficus 2nd Floor for any event or celebration.

We were incredibly lucky to have our wedding at Five Boroughs. We loved the flexibility to make the event exactly what we wanted in terms of decor and food as well as the actual logistics of the wedding itself. We chose to get married and have cocktails on the production floor, then party in the taproom, with two food trucks at the curb. It was a great size for a 68-person event, although I can see it working for a slightly larger crowd, too. Five Boroughs worked with our wedding planner to iron out the kinks and help get the timing right, which was especially crucial as we were the first wedding they ever hosted. From an accessibility standpoint, it also worked out well since parking wasn't a challenge and the train is right there (and Melody Lanes is right there for afterparty considerations...). The space is incredibly photogenic as well. Just a lovely night to remember; highly recommended.

I can't say enough good things about Threes - the staff, the venue, the managers - everyone was incredibly wonderful, so responsive, and helpful through the entire night and the year leading up to our event. My husband and I decided to plan the wedding ourselves and were looking for something pretty all-inclusive. Threes offered catering in-house, is obviously a (very good) beer bar, and needed minimal decorations (we had a summer casual vibe). It is narrow, but we were looking for a space that felt intimate, but had space for 120 or so people to gather, dance, eat (we didn't want a seating chart), all around the restaurant. Leading up to the event was a breeze - Angie walked us through what to expect and gave sample timelines of how they typically navigate things. I had a lot of questions as I wanted to bring in my own decorations, and she made sure I got all the information I needed and as quickly as possible. Threes gave options for getting ready spaces, let us drop things off days in advance, and treated us so well every time we dropped by to pick or drop something off or chat through some questions. Of note: the food vendors were rotating, so we saw a few different menus, but were given the freedom to pic the one we preferred. I will say; the tasting was fine, the food day-of was MUCH better which was an unexpected surprise. The day-of came, and we needed a rain plan due to a tropical storm blowing in, and Angie eased my anxiety and made sure a plan was in place. Throughout the day every. single. staff member. was SO warm, on top of it, and ready to help with whatever we needed. I cannot recommend working with the staff and team at Threes enough.

From the very beginning, we knew we were in great hands with Meryl and the team at Bacchus. They were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. They answered all our questions and made planning our 80-person wedding feel totally stress-free. On the day-of, everything was perfect, Our guests are still raving about it weeks later —it was genuinely that good. And not your typical wedding fare at all. The wine selections were also amazing (thank you Khaza). Everything was paired and plated so well. The service from the whole team was also flawless throughout the evening. Meryl was amazing at making everything run as smooth as butter. She even planned out a weather contingency for dining which turned out incredibly fortunate. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate our big day. Huge thanks to Meryl, Khaza, and the entire Bacchus team for making our wedding so perfect. We’ll definitely be back for many future date nights, and would recommend Bacchus for any and all special occasion dinners and events, weddings and otherwise. You couldn’t ask for a better team and space!

I love to recommend Strange Delight to couples for various wedding-related events. Engagement parties, bridal showers, wedding welcome parties, micro-weddings, after parties, and farewell brunches, just to name a few. Their space is thoughtfully designed, adorned with unique fine art that nods to it's New Orleans roots. It's colorful in a way that offers a decorative backdrop to the ever-so-cool minimal event. The bar and food programs are creative, fairly priced, plentiful, and so delicious. It's conveniently located to many Brooklyn landmarks and transportation, making it a true Brooklyn restaurant wedding venue. Their team is wonderful to work with, offering genuine hospitality - there's no doubt your events at Strange Delight will be unforgettable!

We hosted a Friday night welcome event for our wedding at Sound Fury Brewery and it was the perfect choice. We worked with Natalie, who was absolutely incredible - she and her team handled everything. They helped us build the menu, handled all staffing, and helped with audio set up. As our vision changed and the event grew bigger, they worked with us to adjust and made sure we had everything we needed. We can't recommend them enough for hosting events. The food was good (especially the pizzas), their beers are fun, and the ambiance is great. They even customized the little sign outside the brewery for us - it was so sweet! Natalie was a super-star.

The Prospect Park Boathouse was our absolute dream venue and the perfect setting for our big day! We had been torn between having a wedding more in nature or more in the city, and the Boathouse was the perfect blend between the two. Although the food wasn't our top priority, it ended up being a highlight of the day (especially the bacon wrapped dates). Throughout planning, Elena was very communicative and quick to respond to any email or question we had. Many of our guests commented on how elegant and classic New York the Boathouse was as a venue, and that's exactly what made us fall in love with it in the first place. We're also very excited that they recently opened a cafe out of the Boathouse during the day as well so that we can go back and relive our special day over and over again. A big thank you to Elena and the rest of the Purslane team for making our special day absolutely perfect!

We hosted a little wedding dinner in the private dinning room, the apartment upstairs. Food was great, and the wine was amazing. Simone, Kenny, and Kaitlin were so easy to work with. We had complicated dietary restrictions in our party and everything was taken care of. Not planning on getting married again, but if I did I would have another dinner at Place des Fetes.

We planned our wedding with Aline and Melissa and everything was perfect. They even worked with us to make sure our timing and lighting would be great in the barrel room for our ceremony. Both Aline and Melissa helped us figure out vendors (including porta potty!) that would work for the space. The space itself is perfect- gorgeous historical castle! Bourbon barrel room? So dreamy and exactly what we wanted to celebrate our marriage, and our time in brooklyn. We had friends go over earlier to help the KCD team set up. Everyone was so helpful and understood what we wanted for our wedding day. The entire team was responsive, helpful, and cared about our plans. Due to some of the liquor laws the distillery works within, Melissa helped us find the perfect beer and wine. We did a cocktail testing before the event to decide on what we’d serve. Anything we would have picked would have been awesome - but we decided on a strawberry bourbon smash and the old fashion. The bar tenders were amazing. Our day was so perfect, and the staff really made it possible. I want to do the same wedding again and again.

I love photographing weddings at Manhatta restaurant in downtown Manhattan. The team at Manhatta couldn't have been more professional, accommodating and friendly! The last couple I photographed at Manhatta had such a great time, which was evident in the joy and love in the photos. The rooms were infused with light and a beautiful warm glow at sunset. The views of the city were breathtaking - the guests were very impressed. There was ample room for the couple of have a band perform and to also dance the night away with all of their family and friends. I highly recommend this venue!

We are so happy we found Celestine and could host our wedding there! When we first came across this venue, we instantly knew that it ticked all of our boxes. The views of the Manhattan Bridge and the downtown Manhattan skyline are gorgeous, the Mediterranean-style food is fantastic, and the staff is professional and attentive. We visited several times before the wedding to sample the menu and treat friends and family to a great time, and we were consistently impressed with the quality and the service. Working with the Celestine events team, Nisrine, Kirsten, and Krystle, was a breeze. During the entire period leading up to the wedding, we were in constant contact and had several meetings, which made us able to relax throughout the process, knowing that everything was completely under control. We had our separate day-of coordinator who integrated seamlessly with the Celestine team, and Krystle, our Celestine coordinator, on the wedding day. Once the big day came around, we could not have been more prepared and at ease. Everything worked and turned out as beautiful and perfect as we had hoped! Many of our guests have said (and are still telling us!) that this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to, with many of their compliments directed towards the venue, food, and staff. Among all the other wedding venues in DUMBO, Celestine stands out as a true gem. It has everything we could have wished for in a very intimate, beautiful setting that will leave memories for a lifetime and have us coming back for more!
