Lovely venue with great staff

We had our wedding at The Picnic House and honestly it was our dream venue. The building itself is beautiful, not to mention the park and surrounding greenery. Caity and the rest of the team were terrifically helpful from the first meeting. Great venue in NYC at an amazing price.

Loved the Picnic House

We loved the Picnic House for our May wedding. It was everything we wanted -- like we walked to the park and all our friends and family were there to celebrate with us. The area behind the venue where we did the wedding was in total bloom which was very special, but Prospect Park is ALWAYS going to be special! The new floor really elevates the indoor space, and it all felt lovely, personal and unpretentious. Great acoustics too -- never felt overwhelmingly loud but the dance party went OFF.

We loved getting married in the Picnic House!

Prospect Park is our favorite place in the city, it's meaningful doing it there where we get to visit so often and being among all our neighbors enjoying the park! The space on the inside is elegant and spacious, we fit 150 people there no problem. The staff is friendly and communicative and let us tour it multiple times.

Three notes - you have good catering options there (we went with Bon Soir, they were superb), but there's only one rental company, so make sure to get a rental quote through your caterer before booking, it can add up. There's also not as much bathroom space, our lines for the men's room would maybe be fixed by turning the bathrooms unisex. Lastly, if you do your ceremony outside, you should embrace that the Long Meadow is not a private space, and there will likely be other people around watching or walking by your ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
