501 Union

bby (and Emory for part of the day of) and she was more than accommodating to both me and my couple. Abby was quick to reply to all of my questions and other requests. On top of that, she's super friendly and has a great attitude. We used a couple of their preferred vendors, as well as outside vendors and Abby and her team worked with all flawlessly.

Overall, highly recommend 501 Union, Abby, Emory, and the rest of the staff at 501! Thanks again for everything!

rite vendors through their recommendations. Highly recommend 501 Union!

ir staff makes it extremely easy for outside vendors to be accommodated. The space is beautiful, and it really was a dream venue! My only notes are the getting ready bridal suite has extremely dim lighting so it wasn't great for getting ready. However, we all got ready in the front lounge which was perfectly fine and less cramped. Everything else was a 10/10! Thanks so much, 501!

who worked our event was also incredibly helpful, organized, and so friendly. We could not have been more pleased. 501 Union is a beautiful and unique space. The vibe is both vintage and modern and the space and building are well maintained. The best part is that not much decorating is needed. It's such an impressive space that you don't need to do much to make it look elegant.

the cool Brooklyn vibe of the place, and despite all the current construction in the area (we didn't even bat an eye at it on our wedding day!), had the best day ever. Abby, Alexandra and the team accommodated several site visits, when we were first trasferring our contract and when our parents came to town and wanted to see the place. They also scheduled a bar tasting for us so we could sample the wines and cocktails before settling on our bar package! The day of ran so smoothly and the entire staff was so nice and accommodating, we just felt so supported and at ease. All of their recommendations for vendors were on point, and we got to keep our ice cream truck for dessert! Overall, great team, great experience, great value for Brooklyn!

t out to Abby who was such a pleasure to work with, always responded quickly and made everything easier for us. The staff on the big day were also so helpful, so responsive, and contributed to the fun vibe of the day. Their referrals to were top notch - their preferred vendor for staffing, Parties N All, were awesome on the day of. Overall, it was a great experience made smooth by 501 Union and I would definitely recommend it to others.

arly to take a few couples portraits and they had a fun playlist going, offered us glasses of champagne, and created a stress-free atmosphere. It was perfect from start to finish. HIGH RECOMMEND!

heir own unique feeling -- it helped create a great flow to the evening and gave our guests different areas to explore or to find a quiet space as they needed. We worked with Abby throughout our process and she and the entire 501 Union team were so helpful and made for an easy experience and a fantastic wedding. The venue is so classy and we and our guests absolutely loved it. We can't say enough good things about 501 Union or our experience.

pecial, every photo beautiful, and every memory more than you could have imagined!

the place and knew it would be gorgeous without us having to decorate too much. The staff was accommodating, friendly and responsive. We worked with Abby for the majority of our planning and she was super helpful and easy to get in touch with. Our wedding day went very smoothly thanks in large part to them and we had many compliments from our guests about how beautiful it was. Highly recommend!

and the bartenders were great the day of. The bar packages are a little confusing, so I’d make sure to ask several clarifying questions to ensure you are able to have exactly what you need. We received our security deposit back promptly.

got rave reviews from our guests, especially in regards to the bartenders. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous and doesn’t need a lot of treatment (something to consider when budgeting).

wedding happen, but most of all, Andrea, who really went truly above and beyond to make our wedding day picture perfect! I truly can't say enough good things about Andrea. We couldn't have asked for a better venue manager and we're forever grateful to her for making our wedding even better than we hoped!

and the lighting (even on a dreary day like ours!) was phenomenal. On top of this, our point of contact Abby and her team were incredible to work with -- super responsive, super knowledgable and super nice. They were buttoned up and kept all the details straight and even let my bridesmaids, MOB and MOG get ready in the lounge area! Our bar contact, James and his staff were also fantastic. We live in Texas so couldn't attend a cocktail tasting so he held one for us over Zoom - told us what ingredients to buy, taught us how to mix, it was so fun and now we know how to make our wedding cocktails :) We also got tons of compliments on the speed and level of service from the bar throughout the wedding. Thank you SO much to the entire 501 Union team!! Cannot recommend this venue or this staff highly enough!

oint of contact and the entire staff were so accommodating and my wedding day went smoothly. If you are looking to book this venue, do it now! This place is the best. I 1000% recommend 501 union for your wedding.

of our guests and were very friendly. The venue itself is stunning on its own with a beautiful atrium, modern bar and large open dining and dancing hall. We did both our ceremony and reception in the space. Highly recommend this versatile venue.

dibly responsive and informative. If she wasn't sure of an answer she always got back to me with a timely response once she found out options. We worked with Andrea and Ares the night of the wedding. What a team! Andrea went above and beyond to check vaccine cards and ensure safety and cleanliness of the event space. She answered all my questions and offered help whenever she could. Ares was so incredibly helpful even though my requests were completely out of his job scope. He helped me hook up an extra camera and launch a virtual ceremony for guests who could not attend. He helped me troubleshoot with lighting and equipment. I am so pleased my clients chose this venue and my clients were thrilled with the ambience and beverage packages at the venue. Pthe bartenders were responsive and willing to work with the specialty cocktails my clients requested. Parking was easy in the neighborhood, and as a Brooklyn native, I know this is a luxury! The venue was incredibly accommodating to my clients, myself and all vendors. I've never worked with such professional and helpful people. I would recommend this venue to any couple getting married, corporate group or non profit event. The space is modern and fun yet professional. I am so grateful we could book the space on such short notice and for all the help we received along the way. Thank you! Joanna Mancuso Zimbaro - Event Planner

have to thank the 501 Union team who helped us achieve our vision. What was important for us when it came to our venue: 1) Overall vibe of the place. We were looking for "romantic," "moody," "chic," vibe - and this place was it! Especially because our wedding was in December, the venue helped turn our wedding into an intimate, cozy, romantic, beautiful ceremony. We decorated with flowers and many candles. The space was convenient for our guests, because the cocktail hour, the ceremony, and the main dining area were all in one place. Our guests commented how easy it was for them to move around the space throughout the night. 2) The flexibility to really design and play around the space to our liking. So I guess this really depends on what kind of a bride you are - but I didn't want everything to be "set up" for me. I wanted to be able work with the space to create the vibe/mood that I envisioned. 501 Union is so versatile. You can leave the door to the atrium open during the warmer season, bring in food trucks, have the ceremony in the main room, the atrium, play around with different types of decorations to really change the feel of the space, and we loved that (although it was.. a lotttt of work - but I'm a bit neurotic like that) - we could truly turn this place into a wedding venue that reflected who we were as a couple. 3) The People we'd be working with. We worked with Angelica (the venue manager) throughout our planning process, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was punctual, organized, kind, professional, and understanding. When I was interviewing vendors, one of the questions I'd ask each one of them was "We are considering 501 Union as our venue - have you worked at that venue, are you familiar?" and every single vendor I had spoken with would say that the 501 union team is the best - and that they truly love working with them. Trust me, the PEOPLE you'll be working with during this process will make EVERY difference. From first meeting, to the final walk through, from the set up in the morning, to the clean up in the evening - absolutely incredible experience with them. Ohhh my husband and I truly miss our day. This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts. <3 Thank you Angelica and her team for everything you've done for us! xoxo

planning process. Andrea, our day of contact, made sure everything was flawless and worked in perfect harmony with our wedding planners, Arch Events, which made everything stress free. The bar team was super fast and professional throughout the whole evening. Our featured cocktail, a passion fruit margarita, was a huge hit and super tasty. 10s across the board!

ed. When we arrived to the venue on the day of the wedding our breath was taken away by how perfect and beautiful it was. Staff were very attentive to us and our guests all night long and the event unfolded smoothly and flawlessly. Bravo 501 Union!

o do anything in terms of décor because of how effortlessly cool the venue is. Every staff member we worked with, from Celina our wedding coordinator to the bar staff (shout out Audrey) were incredible and we genuinely enjoyed having them with us on our day. If you want your event to run like a well-oiled machine, go with 501 Union. You won't be disappointed.

e flow of the spaces, as it worked well with our vision for our wedding day. The staff provides enough support so you can enjoy your wedding day like you are supposed to.

r for) is stunning. I love flowers but was actually able to save a little when it came to the arrangements given what was already in the venue. Not only was the venue beautiful, but the service was amazing! One of the most important things to us was great cocktails (we work in the industry). 501 Union did everytihng in their power to accommodate brands, create delicious cocktails, and make sure we had the time of our lives. Everything was easy and communication felt seamless (despite Covid!) I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect industrial chic venue with phenomenal cocktails, wonderful service, and beautiful greenery.

and it was a perfect night!

still raving about how much they loved the venue! I knew I didn't want a raw venue space because I didn't want to have to bring in a whole army of vendors. 501 Union offered the flexibility of a raw space, without needing to add lighting, a sound system, draping, or even tables and chairs! (We did upgrade to the farm tables and that was worth it for us, however.) Being able to come in the morning of and relax and get ready with my bridal party as we got our hair and make up done and set out decorations was one of my favorite memories. Also--air conditioning, which was a requirement for us in the summer--but so much natural light and greenery in the space you don't feel caged in like a hotel ballroom. The number 1 biggest asset of 501 Union for us was the flow of the space. The layout with the cocktail lounge meant no awkward flow or crowding from ceremony to reception as chairs got moved over, and at the end of the night when the older folks wanted to have quieter conversation they could escape to the lounge and let the dance party rage. It's a totally unique space that start to finish made the day incredibly easy and special. And the wallpaper made the perfect photo booth background! The staff is also great, and so kind and pleasant to deal with. Bridget was a dream. Also really appreciated the in-house bar staff and found the drink packages to be really fairly priced. So grateful to 501 Union for doing the most in making our wedding day more fun and less stress than I ever imagined!
