The Box House Hotel Reviews

On 07/26/24 we celebrated our wedding at The Box House Hotel, it was the best decision we made! Nick and his team were amazing, their attention to detail was incredible, and they ensured every part of the wedding was a success

The team was amazing!!!! The whole wedding planning process was a stressful one without hiring a wedding planner and box house made it so much easier on me. I’m so appreciative of them for caring about the details that mattered to me and executing a seamless evening. Food was amazing. Venue looked gorgeous. Would reccomend to anyone wanting to get married in Brooklyn

The Box House Hotel was a wonderful venue for our March 2024 wedding. As lifelong NYers who met in NYC, it was important to us to find a NYC venue. From the moment I saw photos of the rooftop event space I had a good feeling about The Box House. The location and the view is spectacular and quintessential NYC. It's a showstopper for both guests from out of town and guests local to the city. The fact that the entire roof is COVERED with heat/temp control is key. It ended up raining 3 inches on our wedding day and it was such a relief that we didn't have to worry about the mess outside. We were beyond pleased with how everything worked out and highly recommend it for any events, especially weddings. 

We really like the layout of the event space and the fact that everything is in one room (ie people aren't leaving the dance floor to go to another room to get a drink; you're not sitting down in another room for dinner that's separate from the bar/dance floor). The tasting opportunity is really cool. It's nice they offer this in the evening and set up tables to create the look and ambiance of what you can expect on your wedding day. Everyone in our family was impressed by the food options. The upgrades are nice options but there's also not pressure to go with higher ticket items.

Planning with Mariel was super easy. She sets you up with a comprehensive spreadsheet to help plan and pace what you need to decide on and when. She's also very available for questions along the way. As we got closer to the day she was very amenable - she helped us source beers that were off menu and create a couple of bespoke menu options. Daryna is focused and on top of EVERYTHING on the day of. She never lost her cool which helped us stay calm and excited during the day. From the cocktail hour to the dinner and reception I never thought about anything and never needed to - the entire Box House staff is incredibly professional and multiple guests raved about the food and service. The Korean fried chicken appetizers were a fave! The fact that the Box House team's planning is included in the rate is a real value add. We didn't have an outside wedding planner and I don't think it's necessary given the level of support and expertise you receive with Mariel and team. 

Staying in the hotel is beyond convenient. It also allowed for more time for family and friends to be together. We hung out in the lobby bar after the wedding - and even took photos with another bride and groom who were staying at Box House but getting married elsewhere in Brooklyn! The rooms are spacious and the lofts were great options for getting ready ahead of the ceremony. The lobby and bar's eclectic look also makes for unique photo opps. We took a lot of photos in the bar (since it was pouring all day) in the booths and these are some of our favorite photos. 

One small piece of advice is to be mindful of the AV requirements/charges. We learned quickly after visiting a few NYC venues that AV/lighting charges are common (which was news to us), so Box House is not uncommon in that regard. Throughout our planning, the status of the AV package and what is REQUIRED was confusing to both us and our DJ. The price ended up being more than we expected so if you want to avoid confusion and unanticipated charges, definitely ask detailed questions about what is required with your contract.

A sincere thank you to the Box House Hotel for setting the stage for what was our favorite night of our lives. Our wedding was executed perfectly to every detail, and the staff were extremely accommodating and flexible. From the moment we stepped foot into the hotel lobby on Friday, to our final brunch on Sunday, the location and service (including Mariel who took care of Every. Single. Detail.) gave us everything we envisioned for our wedding. Truly a one of a kind location for an event that was just that!

I cannot say enough about how amazing the Box House was. The venue alone is truly special and a gem in the city. From our first tour to the day after our wedding, the staff was exceptional. They made the process very easy special thanks to Abbas, Mariel, Daryna and Nick. I planned my wedding without a wedding planner and with the help and expertise of the planners at the Box House you do not need one!! The event staff was also super accommodating to some of our requests, and remembered little things we mentioned to them in passing (shout out to the passed around espresso martini shots!). Aside from the venue and staff, the food was fantastic. Probably the best wedding food we've had and I'm not being bias! Thank you Box House!

Having our wedding at the Box House was nothing short of magical. We knew we wanted a Brooklyn rooftop wedding, and the Box House completely exceeded our expectations! Many of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended.

It was important to my husband and I to have the wedding we wanted while also providing our guests with an A+ experience. The Box House provided just that. The planning team is so amazing and lovely to work with, and the day-of team completely knocked it out of the park. The food was absolutely incredible--all of our guests were raving about how delicious everything was. In terms of planning, the team has a list of recommended vendors which was beyond helpful in terms of selecting vendors. And the fact that the venue comes with planning, day of coordination, and then the amazing food and drink staff makes it so much easier to pull off a big event from a planning perspective.

I think what I appreciated the most was how the team was so helpful in terms of bringing our precise vision to life while also providing insight about what works and doesn't work in the space based on their own experience. That was so valuable and helped us ensure that everything went smoothly. And the attention to the little things was so fabulous too--from hopping on the phone with me a few days before the event because I was nervous about rain, to mounting our seating sign because it looked way better, to having signature cocktails waiting for my husband and I as soon as we finished the ceremony--everything was perfection.

Wow. The Box House Hotel made sure that we had the wedding of our dreams! Daryna, Mariel, Nick, Abbas, and their entire staff are exceptional at what they do.

We had concerns doing our wedding outside of where we live (Florida residents) but all those concerns were put to bed the moment we started interacting with the Box House Team. They were so organized with their questions and follow-ups, doing everything they could to ensure we had the best day.

Thank you so much, Box House! The wedding exceeded our wildest expectations and you were able to create the vision we had so beautifully.

Look forward to visiting you again in the future.

Our wedding was in April of 2023. The Box House Hotel and the team behind it exceeded every expectation we had. They were incredibly organized and supportive throughout the planning process and were a well oiled machine the day of. They made special accommodations for things that were important to us, going far above and beyond. We loved the venue, of course, but the team and their service makes the magic. Our guests are raving about the space, the food, drinks and their overall experience. It was everything we could have hoped for.

The Box House Hotel Team are incredible. Everyone at the hotel, from the reception staff to the servers and especially the events team, each person handled the day with such care. The Events team shared spreadsheets to help us organize, answered countless questions via email and calls, and helped us feel confident and prepared heading into the wedding day.

The day of the wedding, Daryna and Mariel especially were truly outstanding. They made sure we had enough notice for any changes or events that were happening (they told us ~10 minutes before speeches/our first dance) so we never felt rushed. The day was incredibly seamless and stress-free thanks to their careful planning. I 100% recommend this venue for the views and team!

The Box House Hotel and team were absolutely amazing in helping us plan and execute our wedding and would strongly recommend anyone considering this venue to book immediately! The views are certainly breathtaking in their own regard, but what truly sets the Box House apart is the the quality of their events and catering team. We are still receiving notes from our guests complimenting the event, and in particular the food. From our perspective, the Box House team executed the vision for our wedding perfectly - including nailing our intricate table set ups, the timing of various events and speeches down to the minute, and keeping us relaxed in the lead up to and on our wedding day. From our first meeting with Abbas to advanced planning with Elizabeth and execution of the event with Daryna and Nick every single member of the Box House events team we interacted with was absolutely amazing. Daryna and Nick in particular delivered an absolutely exceptional experience in the days leading up to the event. We wish we could do the entire thing again!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Box House on 9/9/22. It was a dream! Our guests could not stop talking about what a beautiful venue it was with the rooftop setting. A big draw for us booking Box House was the team as well - they really do think of everything that needs to be taken care of! The coordinators, Elizabeth and Daryna were super organized and checked in with us periodically. We also could text them any questions or concerns that came up. Daryna was our day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly (which it did!). She took care of things we did not even think of without us asking. Food was a huge hit and our guests were still talking about it days later. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing. The hotel staff was kind and helpful. The rooms were chic and picturesque. The service staff also made sure my husband and I ate and got to sample everything. If we could do it all over again, we'd choose Box House every time!

The Box House Hotel is the most magical place to have a wedding. My husband and I fell in love with the space as soon as we saw it. Starting with the open roof and city views, charming string lights, the stunning marble bar, natural greenery and beautiful wooden floors - the Box House gives you the feel of a garden. Abbas, Elizabeth and Daryna were extremely helpful and accommodating every step of the way. Our guests had only amazing things to say about the space, food and service. The venue is a truly unique and practical space, as the roof can be open or closed depending on preference. The roof is already decorated with green bushes, trees and plants as well as outdoor furniture to enjoy the terrace. The string lights make dancing under the starts into the night all the more romantic.
For anyone considering this venue, I highly recommend you do not wait to book! The Box House Hotel is unforgettable!

Elizabeth, Nick and the Boxhouse Team made our wedding night absolutely perfect. we are still buzzing about it!

We had our wedding at the Box House. All the staff were very helpful and the view was beautiful. Our day of coordinator, Elizabeth, made the day seamless. We are both vegetarians and the venue was not only able to accommodate a fully vegetarian meal, but we also received continuous complements from our guests (vegetarian and meat eaters alike). The venue was very helpful and responsive during the planning process. Everything was taken care of and we had the best night.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Box House hotel this past weekend, and we had, hands down, the best experience we could have hoped for and imagined. Elizabeth, Abbas, and the rest of the team were incredibly responsive, flexible, warm, understanding, and reassuring as we planned our wedding this winter while navigating a maze of ever-changing rules related to the pandemic here in New York. They were also open to helping us customize our food and drinks menus, always answered any and every question we had, and made sure every detail was covered. On the day of, everything turned out just as we had hoped, and the staff was critical in making that happen. Elizabeth even helped me get a stain out of my dress in real time! Our guests all told us what a great time they had, and what a beautiful and airy venue we chose – with views of Manhattan that can’t be beat. Wedding planning is tough, but having a supportive venue by your side can make all the difference – the Box House Hotel is that venue!!

The team is very enthusiastic and proud of their venue and performance. They really helped facilitate all the details in a confident, calm, and friendly manner. Navigating multiple date changes re: COVID would be stressful and present difficulties at many or most venues, but it all worked out great. The wedding was a home run and everybody was left with a big smiles.

The Box House Hotel was a dream venue! We had seen about a dozen venues in the area and when we saw the rooftop (even when raining) we knew this was where we wanted to get married.
The VIEWS were amazing! We organized the ceremony to be at sunset and partied with the NYC skyline in the back at the reception. Our guests loved everything about the venue! The food is also something our guests raved about, It is definitely not your usual "venue" food. We also rented out the lobby restaurant for the after party which allowed us to extend the fun and they even let us bring in pizza so our guests could have a late night snack. It was perfect.
Abbas, Elizabeth & team were amazing to work with. The answers all our questions, allowed us to stop in for additional viewings of the rooftop and gave us great ideas & tips from previous weddings.
If you are looking for a venue that's not the traditional wedding hall, The Box House should definitely be on your list to check out.

This is the best event space in NYC and the team behind it are consummate professionals! We had a fantastic event there!

Our guests still talk about our wedding...6 months later. The Box House Team was incredible. We had a small wedding, about 75 people, and we couldn't have been happier with how the night turned out.

Leading up to the wedding it was very stressful due to the pandemic and normal wedding stressors. Even though at times it was difficult to touch base with the team and some items (like contracts and statements) needed to be relooked, the team always compensated and took accountability for any issues.

Now, as for the day of and the actual night, everything was perfect. The Box House team delivered the most upscale form of hospitality. From the food, service, and drinks. Normally, weddings aren't known for their food and it's something our society has become accustomed to sacrificing. Well, The Box House is redefining that. The food, service, drinks, environment was impeccable. It left us and our guests speechless.

If you are on edge about booking your wedding here, let this be your sign to BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE. It wasn't just the service and food, but the scenery, the different colors, guest rooms, and overall aesthetics/environment.

At The Box House, your wedding will be extraordinary and remembered for years.

We have been basking in how amazing The Box House Hotel made our wedding for so long that it has taken nearly a year to write this review. Everything was just perfect. Elizabeth made sure to take excellent care of everything throughout the process and especially the day of. There were a lot of unknowns getting married May 2021 and she was flexible and communicative as our vision and party size changed with vaccine availability. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing, the hotel rooms are gorgeous and large, and the overall experience was just incredible. Cannot say enough good things.

Where to begin--the Box House Hotel was perfect. We are so happy we connected with them. The entire staff was so great, from coordinators to bartenders to front desk staff and everyone in between. Everyone was professional, organized, responsive, and just the best. They helped us navigate the uncertainty of a post-COVID wedding and they did it with such ease. The venue is beautiful and our guests loved staying at the Box as well. We are hoping we get to attend more weddings at the Box in the future.

I mean the venue and location are gorgeous. We are not from New York and wanted our out of town family to see the city lights, it was a perfect spot. Everyone still talks about our wedding. The food was so good and the day of planner was so awesome. My husband is in the wine industry and had specific wines for the head tables, served at certain times...she was all over it. Great experience. I wish I could do it again!

Amazing team and service to compliment a spectacular venue. The Box House events team was helpful, flexible, and fair with everything - a combination that is hard to find in the wedding industry! Also, top notch food and menu tasting experience. We highly recommend getting married at The Box House!

We could not say enough wonderful things about the Box House!
With a lot of family coming from out of town, we knew we wanted something that showed off the New York City skyline, but still had the neighborhood feel that we loved. We also wanted a rooftop wedding, but had heard horror stories about last minute thunderstorms ruining wedding days. The retractable roof totally put our minds at ease, because we knew weather would not play a factor in location & view.

After originally planning a 2020 wedding, we had to reschedule due to Covid, and everyone at the Box House immediately got the wheels in motion to make the transition to a new date easy, painless, and quick.
Leading up to the wedding, they were extremely organized (which kept us much more organized) and basically planned our wedding down to the minute. They made the process stress-free (or as close as it could be when planning a wedding) by clearly communicating everything we should be doing in advance, and the timeline wedding prep should be done in.
The day of, we rented their suite (would absolutely recommend) to get ready in. Elizabeth and Abbas were so on top of everything and had every little detail (some we didn't even think of!) perfected. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful and unique venue, and how wonderful everyone who worked there was. A few weeks after the wedding they sent us beautiful wine glasses and a sweet hand written note. I would absolutely recommend the Box House to anyone looking for a beautiful and unique location in Brooklyn!
