Got married 7/1/17 at the stunning Greenpoint Loft. Picture a rustic barn vibe with a view of NYC. Head to pinterest or their instagram, the pictures say it all. After a while i had to stop looking at previous weddings because there really i...s SO much you can do with the space. Can get overwhelming! You truly can make it your own though and show off your personalities and styles ...more than most other places out there, it's basically a blank canvas.
The location was outstanding, people were blown away by view on the rooftop and were so surprised there is spot like that so close to the city. If you're into a total DIY wedding or have the funds to hire a team to make it all happen this place is magical and worth every penny.
The only reason I'm not giving it the full 5 stars is because it's not perfect. They tell you the AC is great in the summer but it's a huge space so it just doesn't really get the job done. The stairs leading to the second room/rooftop are really wonky, totally uneven and we know someone from a previous event there who sprained an ankle on them so there's that added stress (we had kids and a few very old guests attending so we were worried). The elevator up to the venue is as 'Brooklyn' as it gets and luckily on our wedding day it didn't get stuck but when we were visiting once it did and that was scary. The day of security team was AWESOME and they put us at ease they would keep an eye on the elevator etc.
The staff from the GP loft (BK Venues) was hot and cold. We had Adam help us most of the way and he was really pleasant. However good luck getting in there for site visits! They require you to do a walk thru with your caterer before the wedding and they won't let you in weeknights or weekends which is close to impossible if you have a 9-5 job. I was able to schedule an early Saturday morning visit planned months in advance and when I got there everything was locked, the bathroom and bridal suites. when I called BK Venues, I was greeted with the biggest attitude when I asked if someone could come open the bathroom for my florist who traveled over an hour on the subway. I remember her name but won't blast her on here- just a warning that some of the staff act as though they're doing you a favor by letting you have your event there, I guess since it's such a desired location (not cheap tho thats for sure!!!)
Overall the location itself was so perfect for us and our guests loved it. Another pointer is to keep an eye out for events open to the public there to get a feel for it when there are decorations and actual people filling up the space. (look at Greenpointers.com) My parents were on the fence when we showed it to them but we brought them back during a seasonal flea market there and it changed their opinion immediately and saw our vision.
