Radegast Hall & Biergarten

We booked the Bier Haus at Radegast for our wedding of ~65 guests, and after the experience, we are completely satisfied. Each aspect of the event was taken care of smoothly and cleanly, with professionalism, flexibility, and care. The aesthetic of the room was excellent by itself, and when spruced up with wedding decor, fit exactly what we were looking for. The manager, Sean, clearly felt it was important to make the event as close to our vision as possible, and he succeeded. The food prepared by Chef Brian was beyond our expectations even after doing our tastings, and he went out of his way to ensure that the menu reflected our preferences. The bar program was both skilled in making the drinks, including a custom cocktail, and attentive at taking the orders. We felt taken care of in exactly the way that was important to us: the only thing we had to focus on was our community and each other. We highly recommend Radegast for special events.

We had our wedding at Radegast Hall on a Sunday in October, and it was still an absolutely epic affair. Our guests were blown away and can’t stop talking about how perfect the venue was for a wedding.

Some admitted they weren’t sure how we’d pull it off in a space like Radegast, but afterward they couldn’t stop raving about how intimate, unique, and perfectly “us” it felt. That’s a testament to the venue, the staff, and their seamless coordination with our other vendors.

From our first tour with Sean, we knew we were in great hands. He and his team have built one of the most thoughtful wedding packages in NYC. We knew we didn’t want a traditional wedding, but we did want it to feel like one, and Radegast delivered. Even in the middle of a storm, Sean coordinated with our musical vendors, handled all AV needs, and kept everything running effortlessly.

The food was incredible - Chef Brian helped us create custom appetizers like mini chicken pot pies with pierogi dough and tomato soup shooters with grilled cheese. Guests are still talking about the pretzels, pierogis, and latkes. The drinks were just as impressive, with quick service and perfect espresso martinis (cocktail and mocktail versions).

We wanted a sophisticated yet funky, high-energy celebration that felt authentic to us, and Radegast nailed it. The night ran flawlessly, and we can’t wait to come back and relive the magic.

What can we say but WOW. This was a WEDDING. All thanks to Sean and the absolutely incredible team at Radegast. They made our dreams come true. Sean was very communicative throughout the entire wedding planning process - he had a “can do” attitude with literally any challenge, and calmed our (many) pre-wedding anxieties. He said yes to any vision we had and worked with the team to make sure that every single thing - down to the smallest detail - was executed perfectly. The aesthetic was beautiful - we didn’t have to spend very much at all on decor or florals because the venue itself was beautiful and rustic without being cliche.

We rented out the Main Hall (eg, big bar room and long garden hall) and had about 150ish guests. We had our ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour in the Dining Room, and reception/dancing all over. After the ceremony, the staff had set up a little table in the back room (Bier Haus) for me and my husband to take a moment, eat a pretzel, and have a drink while guests roamed in the Dining Room for cocktail hour. It was technically in a room open to the public lol but that made it extra sweet, with the live band cheersing us and strangers congratulating us. Such a fun touch.

We were initially worried about benched seats for our elder guests, and Sean made sure to squeeze in extra tables with backed seats as much as possible. We were also initially worried about having enough space for a horrah - it was a little tight but ended up being iconic, as we all danced throughout the venue in a giant circle, and definitely had space for chair lifting. The dancing, of course, was SO amazing - our guests absolutely loved getting up on the benches and tables. The levels made it even more *iconic*. And the staff sweeped off the tables so swiftly, it was like magic. They thought of everything.

For food, we did the buffet option, and the staff set up two buffets on each side of bar in the Dining Room/bar room area. It was super smooth and faster than expected for everyone to get their meals. The food was also SO GOOD. We also had kosher and vegan options laid out in the middle, which staff facilitated seamlessly. We also had pretzels for guests during the cocktail hour, which was a great addition.

THANK YOU Sean and everyone at Radegast!! We can’t recommend this venue enough!

One day as we were walking past Radegast, we both thought “Wow, I wish we could get married here.” 2 years later, we did and it was the best decision we ever made! We owe everything to Sean and the team at Radegast for such a perfect wedding. They were able to make our dream wedding come to life at such a reasonable cost. The venue was great for our 100 guests and everyone was able to dance and hang out around the venue comfortably. The drinks and food were fantastic— our coordinator even said it was the best wedding food she’s ever had! The service was everything we could have ever asked for. Our guests were never without a drink and the team magically cleared tables without ever being in anyone’s way. Sean helped us from start to finish— from touring us through the venue, hosting a food tasting, doing multiple venue walk throughs with our vendors, and even serving a round of shots on the dance floor with us on the wedding day— there’s a reason why he has so many good reviews and we are so grateful! So many guests have told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and we wish we could do it all over again! You won’t regret choosing Radegast.

My partner and I celebrated our wedding at Radegast in May 2025, and it was truly unforgettable. If you're planning a wedding in Brooklyn, I wholeheartedly suggest considering this gem of a venue.

From the moment we first visited, we were struck by the charm and impeccable upkeep of the space. The atmosphere is warm, unique, and full of character—clearly cared for by a team that takes immense pride in it. It offered the perfect setting for a heartfelt and joy-filled celebration.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. If you’ve dined at the restaurant before, you already know what to expect—but the wedding spread took it to the next level. Radegast treated our guests to a deliciously authentic and abundant German menu. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course to the late-night eats, every bite was a hit. Our families haven’t stopped raving about how good everything was!

The biggest standout, however, was the service. Sean and his team went above and beyond every step of the way. From our initial meeting, Sean emphasized the importance of attentive hospitality—and he truly delivered. He was consistently responsive during planning, provided fantastic vendor suggestions, and accommodated all our ideas with ease. On the day itself, the level of care was unmatched. The staff was plentiful, friendly, and incredibly efficient—no one ever waited for a drink or missed a bite. It felt like every detail was anticipated, and the result was a smooth, joyful, and deeply personal event.

If I could rate Radegast more than five stars, I would. It's an ideal place to throw a fun, memorable, and love-filled party. Don’t think twice about checking it out!

We just had our wedding here and it was truly a magical experience. The vibe and aesthetic of Radegast was perfect for the event and the staff were all attentive and incredible to work with. Even with a crowd of 150+, I don't think anyone waited more than a few moments to be served. Sean, the event planner, was awesome to collaborate with and wore so many hats; also acting as our sound guy for a whole live music experience we put on. And not to mention the food was delicious and efficient! We got so much positive feedback from our guests and will remember our wedding there as one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives.

My wife and I were determined to have our wedding in New York City and researched a bunch of venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Radegast was the last place that we visited, and we put our deposit down the day after our walk through and ended the search.

Sean managed the booking for us, and we felt his attention and thoroughness immediately. This was in stark contrast to the apathy that we felt at other places; almost like we needed to work for any enthusiasm from the venue about booking with them. We felt “wined and dined” by Sean and super confident that he would take the event as seriously as we were. We ended up booking The Bier House space with the buffet food option.

Our intuition was right, Radegast was incredible! Not only were they the most affordable option that we could find in the city for our number of guests, but the space was so beautiful that we didn’t have to spend money on any additional decor. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive and friendly, and all of our guests were really impressed.

Sean and the staff at Radegast “bent over backwards” (a quote from our wedding planner) to make sure that our vision for the day matched reality. They helped solve any problem that came along, and did so with a smile. They were as accommodating on the day of the event as they were in the months leading up to it. The price was exactly what we were quoted, there were not any unexpected add-ons or fees. The event was an absolute blast and the venue had a lot to do with it.

Also the location is incredible. Williamsburg is perfect for everyone; your NYC friends are a subway ride away, your weird conservative relatives from Long Island can park in the parking garage literally across the street and run home right after the event, and anyone unfamiliar with the city will leave the event loving how pretty Brooklyn is.

This is absolutely the best value for a wedding venue in New York City and the positive vibes are through the roof!

There are not enough words to express how positive of an experience working with the Radegast team was. From start to finish, the team made us feel taken care of, prioritized and special. Food and bar team was friendly and attentive. The event coordinator Sean, walked us through the whole experience. From helping us through the planning process, coordinating with vendors, going the extra mile to direct our ceremony and holding down the fort during the actual party so we could really enjoy ourselves. As the brides, we were never left with an empty glass. We left feeling like family.

The food is always fantastic when we dine here. There was no exception when it came to scaling their meals up for hundreds of people. Sean and the team made sure to include our favorite items. We were able to provide some fan favorites, but they also made it so easy to simultaneously have options for those with dietary restrictions in our life.

Truly can't say enough kind words about this team and would recommend them to anyone/everyone. The place is beautiful, the food and drinks are never ending. The perfect mix of refined but not too formal.

We booked Radegast to host our wedding reception because of its reasonable price point and beautiful bar and garden rooms. As residents of Brooklyn for over a decade we thought we knew what Radegast was about: big party atmosphere with excellent drinks. What we came to find out was that it was so much more.

We’ll start with Sean, Radegast’s manager and possibly one of the nicest, most down-to-earth persons we could have hoped to work with; any request we had he was able to accommodate, no stress. It was made apparent to us very early that it would be so simple working with Sean and his team, it really helped alleviate the stress of the preparation period.

The menu planning was easy, most of the appetizers were can’t miss and the main dinner options put a really fun spin on traditional wedding dishes. Everything we landed on was delicious and well received by our guests. The other big consideration was working with a bar and staff the caliber of Radegast - they aren’t limited to certain mixed drinks or a pre-set list of beer because being a top-class bar handling a large crowd is what they do every night.

The night of, all anyone could talk about was the service and the space. All the staff were brilliant: friendly and accommodating keeping our guest well fed and looked after, making everyone feel like regulars that they had known for years. Sean took us under his personal watch and was never far when we needed anything or to even offer a bit of touchup on a suit. A true partner. The space was beautiful, we got lucky enough with the weather to open the garden’s ceiling windows and it just created the most perfect setting to celebrate with everyone we loved.

It was truly a night to remember, one that wouldn’t have been nearly as special without Radegast and their very special staff.

We had our wedding here in 2017 and our guests are STILL talking about how it’s the best wedding they’ve been to. The team was stellar in helping us plan and making the day run super smoothly. Everything was all custom to our tastes. The food was incredible, service was perfect and our photos are one of a kind and beautiful due to the look of the venue. We continue to have birthdays here as a tradition. We love Radegast.
