Best Unique Brooklyn Wedding Venues
With the welcoming of the New Year and Valentine’s Day right around the corner, engagement season is upon us! Our all-inclusive packages now include wedding planning services and our phones have been buzzing with inquiries from newly engaged couples asking about the best places to get hitched in NYC. Traditional wedding venues are still a great option for some but we’ve noticed more and more couples are seeking a unique option for their big day.
From a converted synagogue in downtown Brooklyn to a former warehouse with a rooftop in Williamsburg, this hip borough has something to offer for every taste and budget! If you are getting hitched in Brooklyn you don’t have to go far to find a beautiful outdoor space for your first look either! Brooklyn Bridge Park offers breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and is home to several well known attractions like Jane’s Carousel and Brooklyn Ice Cream factory.
Smack Mellon (which is located in Dumbo) offers couples a rustic space lined with cobble stone streets, while Giando on the Water (in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn) has waterfront dining and an outdoor space for your ceremony that is unmatched! Our photographers love capturing weddings in our home borough and are never disappointed! Check out the article for our top 4 choices for best unique Brooklyn venues!
We’ve all been there, attending a wedding and secretly wishing the ceremony would just end already so the real party can begin! Lucky for you, more and more couples are choosing to ditch the church ceremony and formal ballroom reception in exchange for a “one stop shop” experience in a less-traditional space; and our photography and video team couldn’t be happier! If getting hitched in a former classic car restoration shop or exchanging vows in a Historic Metal Factory is appealing to you, then Brooklyn is worth checking out. The hip borough is being referred to as the “New Manhattan” thanks to the revitalization of trendy neighborhoods like Dumbo and Williamsburg. In turn, the borough’s new popularity welcomed the opening of several unique wedding venues. Another advantage for choosing a smaller venue; the owners are typically more flexible with their pricing and offer more amenities! Check out our top 4 choices for unique Brooklyn venues below…
Location: Boerum Hill. Close to downtown Brooklyn with easy access to public transportation, Brooklyn Bridge and Barclay Center

Why you’ll love it: Originally constructed as a brass foundry, the Green Building offers a raw rustic space with indoor and outdoor options.

Location: “Dumbo” section of Brooklyn, steps from Brooklyn Bridge Park with easy access to downtown Brooklyn. Waterfront views and cobble stone streets are key points in this neighborhood

A raw space, couples are allowed to bring in their own décor and wedding vendors. It’s a block away from Brooklyn Bridge park so a ceremony on the water followed by portraits in the area on cobble stone streets with the Bridge in the background is a must! Our photographers love shooting in Dumbo!
Location: Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, steps away from the East River with easy access to public transportation (including a ferry)
Why you’ll love it: A Pre-WWII rope factory converted has been restored to it’s original raw appearance and is one of the most unique venues in Brooklyn. The space offers soaring beamed ceilings, wooden floors and open skylights giving this rustic space a light and airy feeling.
