Brooklyn Grange

What a beautiful and unique space. We had an amazing view of all of lower Manhattan, including the Statue of Liberty! My only regret is that I wish we had designed a more physically accessible pathway for our guests. My Grandparents had a difficult time making their way from the elevator to the main (indoor) event space. They both have walkers, and the pathway isn't well paved. It would have been much easier for them to navigate the garden space if there had been any sort of walkway set up, or carpet, along their path. That would be my only it of feedback for the venue and advice for future party planners. Make sure to think through your guests' accessibility needs ahead of time and ask the venue to accommodate.

We held our wedding at the new Brooklyn Grange Sunset Park location and it was absolutely perfect. Our guests were blown away by the venue and the view - both on the rooftop itself and from the wall of sliding glass doors within the reception hall. We were blessed with a beautiful sunset evening overlooking the New York harbor and skyline. We also loved the sustainability mission of the organization and our caterer even used some of the vegetables from the farm for our reception (it was delicious). The Brooklyn Grange team was incredibly accommodating and super easy to work with. They gave us space to take our time when making decisions and were super flexible and kind. We found out afterwards that there were some late deliveries during set-up but you would’ve never guessed- the Brooklyn Grange team stepped up to help our caterer and were cool, collected, and had everything ready to go for showtime. We were blown away by everything and would absolutely recommend the Brooklyn Grange Sunset Park location to anyone. It is truly an unbelievable venue!

Brooklyn Grange is the ultimate hidden gem. It was surprising, charming, and all around perfect for our guests - who were mostly from out of town. The BEST view of Manhattan from anywhere and is a laid back, but classy space to celebrate the most special day. We decided on a Friday brunch wedding so we could enjoy the time with our guests during the weekend to follow, and included two ceremonies to celebrate both of our family traditions - a white dress walk-down-the-aisle ceremony as well as a traditional seated ceremony. I can not recommend the staff at Brooklyn Grange highly enough. They are welcoming, organized, and provided top notch service.

This is definitely a unique place for a wedding. It is located in a navy yard where the area is a bit questionable and security is required by the venue. The rooftop where the ceremony and reception are held is on a farm where the guests at the ceremony I attended were standing in between rows of crops - translation – at this wedding all guests were standing in dirt/mud. Albeit the venue placed a narrow strip of burlap to stand on, it is still difficult to stand on especially for women in heels, seniors or disabled guests. After the standing-only outdoor ceremony, guests at this wedding were directed towards a narrow rectangular space that has two long rows of tables (approx 150 people). Simple and adequate although I was saying 'excuse me' the whole night as I tried to mingle with it being so tight on space. There is an awning over the tables however it was raining and the venue refused to take down the side panels in an effort to block the rain so guests at my table who were sitting closest to the edge of the awning got wet and said there were uncomfortable. The dance floor space is small. Outside catering is required for this venue. The caterer in the building next door provided the food which was sparse and mediocre at best. Unsure if it was the couple's choice or caterer’s protocol to serve the first course and dessert course butler style and the entrée family style but I did not get certain food options and left hungry. The bathrooms are located one floor down from the rooftop which is accessible only by stairs and I felt they were unusually dingy and dirty and worse than most public bathrooms I have seen. Bartenders and wait staff were on top of things. The view on a clear day is stunning. All in all a nice time due to the company but not necessarily a venue I would recommend for a group of more than 50, if at all.
