Carroll Hall was everything we wanted in a venue and more. We had passed by it many times, always wondering what was behind that tall brick wall. When we finally stepped inside, it was like discovering a secret garden—and we immediately knew it was where we wanted to get married. The garden itself is lush, artfully landscaped, and rich with detail. It feels like a living piece of art that evolves with the seasons, and we loved that it didn’t need much decor to feel special. At the same time, the space is fully customizable—a beautiful, flexible canvas that we could shape into something that felt completely personal to us. From our first meeting with Jalisa, we felt understood. She was warm, kind, and deeply engaged in our vision from day one. Throughout the planning process, she and Andrew were generous with their time—we were able to visit the space multiple times, walk through with our vendors, and work closely on all the logistics. They were endlessly accommodating, communicative, and open to our ideas. We incorporated some unique touches—turning the treehouse into a record room for guests to “shop” for vinyls, hosting private vows upstairs in the bridal suite, flipping the space throughout the night—and they helped us bring every detail to life seamlessly. They even worked with us on a signature cocktail that tied into the mood of the evening. Carroll Hall truly feels like a tucked-away dream in the middle of Bushwick. Our guests were in awe of it, and so many of our vendors told us it was one of the best venues they’d worked in. If you have a vision and want a space that lets you express it, this is the place. It’s cozy, expansive, and unforgettable—all at once.

The Standard, East Village 

4.0

New York, NY
  • Up to 50 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Located off Cooper Square in one of New York’s most vibrant, artistic neighborhoods, The Standard, East Village is cozy, charming, and eccentric in equal measure—very much in the spirit of its surroundings. You enter the 21-story tower through an original tenement-style building before ascending to unparalleled views of Manhattan from the hotel's crowned jewel, The Penthouse. There’s a quiet, calm garden tucked away at street level that in the warmer months is filled with lush topiaries and floral arrangements, and in the cold season transforms into a magical winter wonderland. On the second floor, The Overlook is a cozy room perfect for a rehearsal dinner or cocktails, connected to The Perch which overlooks The Garden. Downstairs, there's Narcissa restaurant, which boasts its own private terrace, the street-side Café Standard, and NO BAR, a highly inclusive new wave gay bar with custom artwork and a disco ball.

  • Exudes style
  • Has an intimate feel for a small guest list
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Better for more intimiate events
Having never been privy to what goes into a wedding reception, I was in the dark about a lot. So, I had difficulty understanding what to choose and how much our choices would cost. If it wasn’t for the close proximity to the church, I may have chosen a different venue for our reception. The food and beverage was the biggest expense and the biggest source of confusion. The real disappointment of the F&B was the limited amount of food. The shrimp appetizer was good. However, there was so little, if you didn’t grab some, it was gone. Of the three entrees to choose from, the only one that was any good was the fish and the portion was less than one would reasonably expect for an entree. The chicken was dry and hard, a huge disappointment. The lemon tart dessert was good. The space itself is very nice. Fortunately, it was just the right size for our reception.
