Brooklyn Winery

We got married at Brooklyn Winery's new location at the end of April and had an absolutely incredible experience working with them every step of the way. Wedding planning is so stressful with so many moving pieces, but they have so many good systems in place to make things as easy as possible for you. Some things that are key to this are having a dedicated venue staff who know the venue and how things run there inside and out, having all of the catering, furniture, cutlery etc. handled onsite, and having an on-site Event Manager/day-of coordinator. Our Event Manager was Marissa Allain and I cannot speak highly enough of her - while remaining warm and composed, she thought of and handled every little detail throughout the process. While we know that an incredible amount of work went into things behind the scenes, for us and our guests on the day, everything flowed so easily and seamlessly. Having a dedicated person to coordinate with the DJ, florist, etc. so you don't even have to think about those logistics is an enormous benefit - it took more pressure off of us than we even realized going into it. Everyone (including the two of us) had an incredible time on the day and also just really felt taken care of. There were so many thoughtful details every step of the way on the day. For example, when we did our ketubah signing, they had set up a lovely table with candles to create a nice atmosphere and make that moment even more special. Knowing that you'll be pulled in a million different directions on that day, Brooklyn Winery really makes sure to think about all the ways they can ease some of that pressure and make the day as stress-free and enjoyable for you as possible. The food and drinks were incredible - so many people commented on them and we were really pleased. They were also very flexible and worked with us to have an all vegetarian menu since my husband is a vegetarian. The new space is absolutely stunning (I'm including some photos - thank you to L&L Style Photo!) and since it's largely the same team as the old space, they clearly got things up and running super smoothly; you'd think they'd been working in that location for years. Getting married in the city can be a stressful and expensive process, and I really want to emphasize how much value you get at Brooklyn Winery. We really can't recommend them highly enough.
