Wild East Brewing Co.

y, then a floating dinner with two food stations, toasts, cake-cutting, and a dance floor to keep things going. It was a lot for five hours, and Wild East Brewing was the perfect space to do it! Especially if you’re thinking of a brewery, Wild East has some of the best beers in Brooklyn, and the most consistent quality across styles, so there’s something for everyone. Not only are their beverages top tier, but the space itself has the right balance of existing ambiance and opportunity to infuse your own aesthetic. One of my favorite parts of the evening was that we opened up the Cellar to be a low-stimulation room, a little quieter than the Taproom dance floor, with rented furniture and a table for crafts. (This was meant for adults but it turns out the kids in attendance like crafts too – who knew?!) It also made for a perfect green room before and after the ceremony for the two of us to share a quiet moment alone. The events coordinator Casey and owner Tyler were very accommodating when it came to decorating in the space, allowing for our friends to hang a backdrop for the ceremony and decorate the bar and tables with fresh flowers, foraged pieces, and candles. While communication was sometimes a little lax (they are a 7-day/wk taproom and active brewing space) everyone was truly lovely to work with and extremely supportive on the event day. The bartenders were super respectful and upbeat, working cheerfully all night long. Casey was kind, really chill, and open to ideas throughout the process; she even gave us a couple of four-packs when we came the next day to load our final boxes and cake out, which was a really sweet gesture. Casey really helped make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be, and we’re so grateful for all her coordination. Overall, the experience was exactly what we hoped for, the Wild East team let us run with our ideas, and we were thrilled that our family and out of town friends had easy hotel accommodations and train options nearby.
