As a wedding photographer, communication with the venue is key and The Castle is an exceptional place to shoot in Brooklyn! Aside from being an extremely beautiful space, the events team at The Castle excel in making sure the day runs smoothly for their couples and for the vendors involved in your big day. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to shoot - partially because it is stunning, but also because I trust the venue to work with me seamlessly throughout the day.

Houston Hall 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

Houston Hall is a rustic wedding venue in New York, New York. Built in 1907, this former FBI parking garage has since been reconstructed as a vintage beer hall and brewery. Exposed brick, wooden beams, hand-painted murals and high ceilings with skylights offer the perfect environment for your wedding day and reception. This venue space features a unique, large and open-spaced floor plan. Houston Hall has the ability to accommodate up to 225 guests comfortably when seated. In addition, we have a spacious, private dressing room that overlooks the hall. This is where you can get ready before your walk down the aisle. Guests will be able to take in the warm, vintage environment of Houston Hall as they walk around the naturally lit, open space.

We held our wedding at Houston Hall in October 2023. From first booking, the Houston hall event team Christon & Michelle were involved every step of the way, and had an organized process of keeping us informed. The ones that stick out were menu flexibility and options and the use of an online platform that kept all of our documentation, communication, and billing in one place. When it came to our big day, we and our guests were so pleased with Houston Hall. The food was excellent. Our guests really enjoyed the family style servings, and raved about how delicious the food was. Food came out timely, and Houston was very organized in ensuring all our guest with dietary restrictions were accommodated. Above all, the service was amazing. Both us and our guests were taken care of by friendly and efficient waitstaff and bartenders. This is something our guests still talk about. Also important to note was that our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all in the same location. The staff turned the location seamlessly during our cocktail hour without our guests being interrupted or even noticing. The venue itself was everything we hoped it would be. To enhance our guests experience, we opted to rent chairs (in place of benches) and edison lights. This process was seamless, as Houston had a recommended vendor who they work with frequently to deliver and install. Houston was also very accommodating to help us deliver and store items before the wedding (for example, our table decor, rented florals and cake). By choosing Houston Hall, we had an amazing, memorable, and low stress wedding day. We would highly recommend without hesitation for your wedding, or any other big event.

We work hard to not only create the experience you request but create one that exceeds expectations at every moment.

Soizic and hunt and gather were the best decision we made through the wedding planning process. The space itself is warm, inviting and well designed so you only have to add a few touches to personalize it. The food, drinks and service were incredible the night of our wedding. Soizic was so friendly and full of great ideas and helped us iron out every little detail as well as suggesting menu ideas for what we were specifically looking for. Our day went off without a single issue thanks to hunt and gather and their team. Multiple guests (including the picky eaters) mentioned it was the best food they’d had at a wedding.

With over 20,000 sqft the Oliver is perfect for everything from an intimate, romantic wedding, a throwdown party or corporate trade shows and seminars. Make history at your next event at the historic Oliver.

We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!

I’ve been going to golden road for years since I live nearby but this past Friday we chose to hold our rehearsal dinner/welcome party there for our wedding and it was AMAZING. From booking months ago, the events staff was incredibly helpful with communication in planning the event. They have excellent packages to choose from based on your guest count and preferences. The buffet for the rehearsal dinner was delicious, fresh, and friendly to dietary restrictions and the snacks we served at the welcome party ie donuts and pretzel bites were also phenomenal. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and all of our guests were raving about what a great night they had. THANK YOU GRB for a truly incredible and stress-free start to my wedding weekend.

Pipe Dream Brewery

Pipe Dream Brewing is the perfect spot for your small wedding, welcome party, rehearsal dinner, engagement party & more! Our 1,000 sqft. room includes 2 private bathrooms, 9 tap lines, multi-color LED light setup, 50" TV and has a view of the inside of the Brewery! There is room for a band or DJ, or we have a 1600 Watt sound system with an Ipad for a more simple music set up! Our Event Manager will walk you through all the possibilities, and our Head Chef will work with dietary restrictions! We currently do not offer desserts, so you can bring in your own cake/cupcakes!

My husband and I have always loved visiting breweries and are big craft beer fans. When I saw that Pipe Dream had an event room, we knew that we had to have our reception there. Pipe Dream made my wedding affordable, unique, and memorable. The space is beautiful, and they encourage you to add your personal touch with your own decorations. We were able to use their amazing sound system to play our reception music with all of our favorite songs, but there is space for a DJ if you decide to go that route! Beyond the space being absolutely perfect, the staff is what really made our wedding so special. Their event coordinator Morgan was very responsive, easy to work with, and flexible. It was very apparent she wanted us to have the best day possible, and is passionate about what she does. Our personal bartender and Chef Corey made the evening flow flawlessly. They have a large catering menu, so we decided to go with a variety of pizza and salad. Our food was out on time, and the pizza was warm for all of our guests. We also love that they have a wide variety of beer / seltzer that even non beer drinkers can enjoy. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the food and the overall experience! If you're thinking about having a small intimate wedding, I could not recommend Pipe Dream enough!

A sanctuary set against Scottsdale’s historic downtown, the newly-renovated The Scott Resort & Spa, is a fusion of Old Havana and Bauhaus eclecticism. From oasis-like outdoor settings nestled amidst glistening pools and lush tropical gardens to beautifully redesigned interior spaces, the elegant surroundings of The Scott will create a unique and memorable backdrop for your special day.

Our initial meeting with the venue was honestly not a great experience. Being from TN we made a very short trip (Friday night- Sunday) to visit The Scott and had a showing scheduled for Saturday morning with Fran. She never showed and it took about an hour to get in touch with her. All we got was a half sorry and “I put it on a different day and I won’t be in today”. Luckily we were able to make it the next morning before flying back out. I loved the venue so much I decided to still move forward knowing I wouldn’t have to be working with her throughout the rest of the process. She was terrible at responding, it was clear she only cared about making a sale, and so much in my contract was incorrect. I worked with Barbara and Desirae once the contract was signed and they both were absolutely AMAZING. They responded so quickly and were so so helpful with any questions I had. We really had the most perfect day and a great experience after the initial interactions. I’m giving 5 stars for Barbara and Desirae!!! If you get Fran from sales ask for someone else!

  • Up to 250 guests

  • Starts at $1,500

The Wagner House, located in the historic Wagner Print Building, is a three-story industrial warehouse in downtown Freeport, Illinois. The building was built in 1903 and was one of the first buildings that had electricity in Freeport. Established in 1853 and incorporated on March 9, 1912, the Wagner Building was home to the German-born Wagner Family who, like Freeport, has a long and interesting history. The Wagner House also served as an industrial manufacturing spot for textiles and fashion. For four generations, the business did not change hands, and the present Wagner company pledged to continue their record of quality printing and letterpress and are still in business today. In 2013, The Wagner building was sold to Bill Green to redevelop and re-imagine it, creating a wine bar, business incubator, and beautiful event space.

The Wagner House was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, they had great communication and were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The staff was incredibly attentive on the day of the wedding, assisting with the transition from the ceremony to dinner and even helping with small details like setting up the name tags. I was so impressed by their efficiency and how smoothly everything ran. The space itself was exactly what we were looking for - it had the ideal atmosphere and vibe we wanted for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and highly recommend The Wagner House!

We had our wedding welcome party at Pinthouse Brewing on South Lamar and it was the perfect location for it! We rented the upstairs space that had its own bar, seating, and a view that overlooked both the downstairs section and part of the brewery. Throughout the event, we had our own bartenders upstairs that could serve drinks as well as a buffet made by Pinthouse for the event–each and every one of our guests raved about the food and beer! Leading up to the event, Stephanie was immensely helpful in answering our questions and getting us through the paperwork. She very kindly responded to our often extensive emails and talked with us on the phone whenever we needed additional clarification. The night of the event went off without a hitch thanks to the team there and we are very grateful to them for helping us put on such a fun night. We would highly recommend this Pinthouse for events!

As life long NYC-ers, my wife and I were getting concerned with the BORING options out there for our wedding reception. There were tons of places that felt like "just another bar". Or there were incredibly expensive indoor/outdoor rooftop venues with reams of red tape and complicated rules (must use our DJ, must buy XYZ food package). We just wanted to have a party! The Wandering Barman had EXACTLY what we wanted. First, the space itself is incredible and GORGEOUS. The look is unique, the room is spacious, and the light wall looks stunning (you can light it up any color you want!). It really is as fantastic in real life as it appears in photos. The super high ceilings give the space room to breath, and the outdoor picnic tables were perfect for guests taking a break between dance sessions. Plus, since they bottle their own cocktails in the factory on-site, they have everything on tap! No waiting for your bartender to make a drink, it's as simple as pouring one of their delicious cocktails (they have like 15 options, something for everyone, plus wine/beer). It really kept the party moving. Second, Roxane and the team are flexible and easy to work with. We ended up doing a Taco Truck a cash bar. This ended up being an incredibly affordable option for us, and Roxane helped us find a DJ and made sure we were able to get security for the night (so no random NYC party go-ers crashed our reception). If you're looking to have a more modest sized reception or event of any kind you cannot do better than the Wandering Barman!!

We absolutely loved getting married at Loft Lucia on Saturday, July 27th! We had our ceremony and reception on-site inside and our cocktail hour upstairs on the rooftop for 70 guests. The space is incredible and is gorgeous in both the daylight, with tons of natural light, and at night (the lighting was perfect with just candles)! Rebecca and the Loft Lucia team made the entire process easy, and were very responsive and always extremely helpful. We are so happy with our decision and could not recommend Loft Lucia more!

Brooklyn, NY
  • Up to 80 guests

Celestine is an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant and events venue located on the DUMBO waterfront in Brooklyn. Located just under the Manhattan Bridge, the restaurant offers unparalleled views of the downtown city skyline. Executive Chef Garett McMahan serves seasonal, soulful fare that draws inspiration from the Mediterranean coastline, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This focus is mirrored in our wine list which highlights small coastal Mediterranean producers. Our bar program similarly marries the flavors of the spice route with classic cocktails. We are proud to be located within a LEED Gold Certified building and to be a part of the DUMBO community.

We are so happy we found Celestine and could host our wedding there! When we first came across this venue, we instantly knew that it ticked all of our boxes. The views of the Manhattan Bridge and the downtown Manhattan skyline are gorgeous, the Mediterranean-style food is fantastic, and the staff is professional and attentive. We visited several times before the wedding to sample the menu and treat friends and family to a great time, and we were consistently impressed with the quality and the service. Working with the Celestine events team, Nisrine, Kirsten, and Krystle, was a breeze. During the entire period leading up to the wedding, we were in constant contact and had several meetings, which made us able to relax throughout the process, knowing that everything was completely under control. We had our separate day-of coordinator who integrated seamlessly with the Celestine team, and Krystle, our Celestine coordinator, on the wedding day. Once the big day came around, we could not have been more prepared and at ease. Everything worked and turned out as beautiful and perfect as we had hoped! Many of our guests have said (and are still telling us!) that this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to, with many of their compliments directed towards the venue, food, and staff. Among all the other wedding venues in DUMBO, Celestine stands out as a true gem. It has everything we could have wished for in a very intimate, beautiful setting that will leave memories for a lifetime and have us coming back for more!

About wedding venues

How much do wedding & reception venues cost?

The cost of wedding venues varies, with factors influencing cost including size, location, guest count, and, most importantly, whether things like catering and rentals are included. The more a reception venue near you includes, the higher the cost. When considering venues, try to compare prices apples-to-apples. If one venue includes catering and rentals in their pricing and the other doesn’t, you need to figure out how much additional cost those outside vendors would be to make a true comparison. Before booking, be sure you’re aware of additional costs outlined in your contract, like parking fees and weather-related considerations (adding a tent, etc.).

What questions should we ask wedding venues?

When talking with a potential venue, always ask about 1) their availability and 2) their capacity. Some popular venues book up peak season Saturdays nearly 2 years in advance—if your first choice date isn’t available, consider your flexibility on day of the week and year. While maximum capacity is non-negotiable, venues might have guidance on what guest count will be most comfortable. Also, you’ll want to understand what is and is not included in the venue’s fees. Some include catering, tables and chairs, and linens, while others offer just the raw space. These venues are often less expensive because you are only paying for the space itself, and you’ll have to bring in outside vendors
