The Foundry is a beautiful venue and so easy to work with! Angela and Lindsey were so helpful and responsive. We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful setting, it was just perfect. My ONLY complaint is that even though they do not book any other events for the same time, they charge extra to book any rooms in addition to the main space and courtyard.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married at Sound River Studios in August 2022, and it was truly the most beautiful and perfect venue for us. Una is an accommodating and professional venue manager. While you have to book everything separately into this blank canvas of miracle space, you won't be restricted to a list of vendors – however, Una is happy to share info on companies who have worked (and impressed) at the venue before. What I particularly appreciated was her honesty in providing advice and her open-minded approach to any ideas we'd bring forward. We ultimately went with the majority of her recommendations, and I have to say, being surrounded by a team that knew each other and the venue made all the difference. The space itself is incredible. The indoor/outdoor setting is ideal and offers plenty of flexibility to adapt to weather and or guestlist fluctuations. The view is one-of-a-kind. Located right at the East River you get uninterrupted views of the skyline, both during the day- and nighttime. And the breeze from the offer is a very welcome refreshment during hot summer months. Thank you so much to the whole team of Sound River Studios for hosting our dream wedding.

Factoria is a wonderful option if you are looking for an all-inclusive package in an industrial feeling venue outside of the city, with beautiful views of the Hudson River, and amazing food and drinks.The layout facilitates a lovely flow from arrival to ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. Megan, the venue coordinator, was on top of everything and very involved in the planning and execution of our wedding. She is clearly experienced and helped everything move along seamlessly. She was available for questions and also offered input on various aspects of the wedding. Our entire experience from beginning to end was amazing: from touring the space for the first time, going in to the restaurant for our tasting, up until the day after our wedding when we picked up the leftover food that they packed for us without us even having to ask, along with all of our decorations and leftover items that they held for us. The food was amazing, as were the drinks and the service. The servers were very attentive to us as well as friendly and engaging. Our guests enjoyed everything, especially the concept of the lazy susan at each table for family style dinner. We are so happy we did not have to worry about very much Meghan and her team took care of everything, and even the chef at the tasting was incredibly involved, offering to tweak some of the menu items for us to accommodate for our culture and dietary concerns, and really make sure that our menu was what we wanted for our guests and for ourselves and our vision of our wedding. We would recommend anyone have their wedding here.

Smack Mellon

  • Raw space

*Please note that this a raw space only.* You have the option to fully customize your event in our space by working with either our preferred vendors, or others, for event rentals, catering services, decor, etc. Situated on the waterfront in Dumbo, Smack Mellon is an industrial-style gallery that offers a truly unique venue for private events. Housed in the ‘Boiler Building,’ we are just across the street from Brooklyn Bridge Park and the picturesque Manhattan Bridge. Highlights: • 6,000 square-foot gallery • 35 foot ceilings featuring an industrial ‘coal trough’ • 25 windows on two levels, flooding the gallery with natural light and spectacular views • Up to 200 guests for cocktail reception; up to 175 guests for a seated dinner • Room for dance floor, DJ, and bar • Separate prep area • Access to a full kitchen with a stove, sink, and refrigerator in lower level • Customizable and dimmable gallery lighting • ADA accessible

Awarded Best of Zola
Smack Mellon is, to put it mildly, a wonderful venue. The brick interior and high ceilings (I believe it was an old boiler room dating from DUMBO's bygone industrial days well before West Elm) provides ample room for whatever you desire. We worked closely with Jessica, who was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She remained quite receptive to each of our many suggestions. Everyone at Smack Mellon was very accommodating, too, letting us drop off some items the day prior (this was an invaluable service amid standard pre-wedding chaos). Since the space is relatively blank, you can add to it, creating a wholly personal experience that properly reflects you and your event. And of course, there's the view of the Manhattan Bridge. If you're visiting the space, take the ferry. Easier than finding parking and nicer than the subway.

Built in 1891, the renovated The Dumbo Loft is an adaptable space with high ceilings, beautiful wood columns, hardwood flooring, and exposed brick walls. The loft’s large windows overlook the interior of the magnificent district of DUMBO with original cobblestone streets and expansive Manhattan Bridge archways. Brooklyn Bridge Park, only a few steps away makes for tremendous photos and outdoor ceremonies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding reception of 115 people was at The Dumbo Loft on October 21, 2023. First of all, it was the best decision ever to have our wedding events in Dumbo. Our out-of-town guests were enchanted by the neighborhood (despite LOTS of construction around), especially after we walked from the ferry at Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Dumbo Loft is a vacant space, great for couples who are looking for a blank slate to dress up however they'd like. The wood beams and exposed brick were a great backdrop for our evening wedding. We worked with RFC Productions to set up some uplighting on the walls and beautiful icicle lights over the dance floor. Paired with tons of (fake) candles, it ended up being a very beautiful setting for our reception. The folks at BK Venues could not have been more accommodating. They allowed us access to the space anytime we requested it. There was a ton of construction happening in the area during our wedding month, and they made sure to keep us posted on everything that was going on. The BK Venue spaces are pretty no-frills, and when we sent a list of small tweaks we noticed (a broken doorknob here, a broken coat rack there), they were extremely responsive and did their best to address everything we listed. All in all, I'm so happy we went with The Dumbo Loft - the event went extremely well and we got lots of compliments on the space!

We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding! Brooklyn Grange is truly a hidden gem and is such a unique experience to find yourself in the midst of so much green beauty yet with the skyline of Manhattan as a backdrop. The view is unbelievable. (Also, the sunflowers!!) We were well cared for and they made it simple to plan our brunch wedding (catered by Purslane). Michele and her team were there to answer any questions and really helped to take care of all the details needed in order to make our day special for us and our guests. I could not recommend Brooklyn Grange more highly, and would get married there 10x over. Maybe we'll return to throw an anniversary party someday in the future :)

Carroll Hall 
Brooklyn, NY
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,150

We love the city, but really need more time in nature. We assume most New Yorkers would agree. We created this space to allow our community a quiet space among plants, birds, insects, and urban wildlife. Carroll Hall is a warehouse space, garden, lounge, a skylit indoor room, catering kitchen, and discreet wooden “treehouse.” Discovery, wonder, and the unexpected are big themes. Whether an eccentric insect or vignette through a wall opening, we revel in curiosity. Ultimately, the garden is the heart of Carroll Hall; the promise of a quiet moment outside is our grounding force. See the COVID precautions we are taking in the rooms section.
