History The idea to build one of the largest soil rooftop farms came to fruition in May 2010. Within six days, crews took hundreds of 3,000-pound soil sacks up seven stories to the roof, where they began to shape an urban farm. The hope of creating the rooftop farm was to develop the unused spaces of New York City and to create a fiscally sustainable system of urban agriculture. Ultimately, the goal also included the production of healthy and delicious vegetables to support the ecosystem and provide for the local community. Since its culmination, the city has become more sustainable with cooler air and cleaner waterways.
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!

A beautiful and magical location that you cannot find anywhere else
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!!
