We had such a phenomenal experience working with the staff at the Navy Yard Grange to plan our wedding!  

While in our initial planning phase, Emma (the private events manager) was so helpful in coordinating a site visit, showing us around the Grange, and answering all our preliminary questions. We ultimately toured both Grange sites (in the Navy Yard and in Sunset Park) - and found we loved the atmosphere of the Navy Yard for a slightly more intimate, casual, and unique vibe!

As we planned our wedding, Emma sadly left but we were delighted to continue working with Chelsea up until the day of the event. Even during this staff transition, we were well taken care of, with all our questions being answered in a timely fashion, and ideas given for how we might incorporate different aspects of the farm into the wedding day.

The Navy Yard site was able to provide tables and chairs at no additional cost that were used for dinner. There were also lawn games that the Grange was able to put out during the reception (also at no additional cost), in case any of our guests wanted a more low-key activity/space to hang out in during the reception. We also were able to skip hiring a florist given how beautiful the farm itself was, full of beautiful florals and greenery. For the small floral accents we were looking for, the Grange was able to provide small bud vases with flowers grown on the farm which we used as table decorations—the perfect supplement to the beauty of the farm itself.  

Something to keep in mind about the site is that the rooftop itself is accessible only by stairs. There is an elevator to the top floor, but guests must then climb a staircase to reach the roof. Additionally, the space is 100% outdoors, though there is a central area that is covered with a canopy, and shielded on two of four sides. We communicated this in advance to our guests and there were no issues!

On our wedding day, the venue was truly beautiful. For our 77 person wedding, the space felt perfectly sized, with the ceremony and reception space feeling comfortably full. Additionally, the space offers so many different vantage points for couple photos, and for guests to congregate, with a gorgeous view of Manhattan in the background. We had many guests comment on the venue, sharing how beautiful they found it, and how unlike any other space in NYC it was—melding a more rustic atmosphere with the urban feel of the Navy Yard and the city. We could not recommend Brooklyn Grange Navy Yard for any couple looking for a unique and cozy space that stands on its own!

Brooklyn Grange was the perfect wedding venue. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was unique and magical, and the staff was so helpful throughout the entire process. It felt like a hidden gem in the city and made our day truly unforgettable. Highly recommend for a beautiful and one-of-a-kind celebration!

Brooklyn Grange was the perfect venue for our wedding. The rooftop farm is a phenomenal and unique space and boasts spectacular views of Manhattan. The team at Brooklyn Grange were communicative and professional throughout and worked hard to accommodate all of our desires for the day. Weeks later our guests are still talking about how much they loved the venue! Do not hesitate - book Brooklyn Grange today!

After looking at a few venues we decided on The Brooklyn Grange because it was far and away the most special and beautiful place we had ever seen. Because of this, our decoration budget was minimal. The fact that it’s a working farm that partners with some of the caterer to use actual produce from the location in the dishes was just so cool to be a part of. On top of that, the view is absolutely stunning. My wife and I are both fans of NYC water towers, so to be able to climb up one to take pictures was really the cherry on top.

We worked with Michele and Claire for coordinating and both of them were kind and patient. They provided a list of vendors (caterers, DJs, photographers, etc.) that are familiar with the space which really helped us narrow down our picks from the infinite pool of possibilities in NYC. They also put together a very helpful event at the venue where a bunch of different vendors (caterers, DJs, photographers, coordinators, photobooths, etc.) setup for taste testings, trials, and meetings. This really helped us fast track our vendor search and made for a great vendor/venue relationship with everyone we worked with.

Michele and Claire were incredibly professional and knowledgeable during our walkthrough and made sure no stone was left unturned when coming up with layout. Wind is a huge factor up there, but they knew exactly where and how everything should be situated. It was perfect! They also helped us organize a babysitter from a sister nonprofit, CityGrowers, to teach the kids about the farm, show the chickens, and really just allow the parents to relax and enjoy the party for a bit!

During and after the wedding one of the things we kept hearing from the guests was how amazing the space was. They really loved the view and we were so happy that we were able to give them this once in a lifetime kind of party!

Thank you so much Michele, Claire, and the rest of the team over at the Brooklyn Grange!!

The Brooklyn Grange was the best wedding venue we could ever imagine. The Grange provided the perfect place to have an outdoor wedding, but still in the city. The event staff at the Grange were the most professional and helpful vendors we worked with.

If I could have a wedding at Brooklyn Grange every year I would! This venue is contagiously magical and is one of the most beautiful places in the entire city. Working with Michele, Claire and Chelsea was an absolute joy. The entire team buzzes with positivity, and everyone was so responsive, thorough, helpful, and relaxed throughout our planning. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made our wedding day an absolute breeze. Our friends and family are still talking about their time at Brooklyn Grange, it was definitely a special night and one to remember.

Getting married The Brooklyn Grange was beyond what we ever could have imagined. Every phase of the process was efficient, easy-going, and supportive. They celebrated our creative vision for the night, while sharing knowledge from their vast experience to help us foresee the things our creative minds overlooked. From the broad stroke logistics to the tiniest details, they made it easy, and let us focus on what was important: each other.

Community is embedded in every element of The Grange. Even as newcomers (or clients) we felt immediately a part of the community. This energy of togetherness is perfect for a wedding, and facilitated a beautiful experience for all of us. We truly could not be happier with how everything turned out. The lush farm, the stunning views, the giddiness of walking out onto that roof for the first time…it’s truly an experience everyone will remember and savor.

Thank you so much for everything!

Choosing the Brooklyn Grange as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made during our whole planning process. The staff is the friendliest group of people and they helped out every single step of the way, making sure that our needs came first. They also made sure our guests were comfortable on the rooftop during our wedding (even providing blankets when it got a bit chilly after sundown). Not to mention all the greenery makes for the perfect wild and urban backdrop. Would highly recommend!

We had our wedding on the Grange and it was amazing. We had a four hour dinner package and it was one of the best night's of my life. The staff were so helpful and adapting to help our friends do fun speeches. the caterer they recommended was out of this world. It was Amazing!

The Brooklyn Grange went above and beyond to help accommodate us and our guests leading up to the wedding and the day of. If we had to do it all over again, we would go with the Grange over and over again! We are 1000% happy we had our wedding here, the wedding was incredible. Our family and guests remarked it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The Grange perfectly meshed with our personal tastes and the crew made all our ideas a reality. As an Architect I saw a site that only needed a few extra items here and there to make it unique to us, and it really came through.
