About this venue

501 Union is a space of subtle distinction and quiet refinement. The building dates back to 1916 and once served as a classic car restoration shop. It was transformed into a private events venue in 2013 and now provides a unique backdrop for Brooklyn's most stylish weddings. Paired with our exceptional service, guests can enjoy three distinct spaces within the venue: a covered atrium, an elegant cocktail lounge, and a light-filled reception hall. Locally-sourced design elements include Modo chandeliers by Jason Miller, customized Flavor Paper wallpaper, and a vaulted skylight that runs the length of the main gathering space reflect the best of old and new Brooklyn: industrial chic with a touch of modern glamour.

    We recently hosted our wedding at 501 Union in June 2024. The staff at 501 Union were exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our wedding day made everything run smoothly. Our event manager, Abby, was always available to answer questions and provided so much guidance throughout the planning process. She was fantastic! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to host our wedding here and would highly recommend 501 Union to any couple looking for a venue that will make their wedding day magical.

    Words can't express the gratitude I have for 501 Union and its staff. It is a universe - starting- with most importantly the space - it is truly perfectly designed for a seamlessly transitioned evening, yet flexible for different vibes or sizes. Every space has a character distinct from one another yet cohesive in style and current in every season. The amenities are just right - large kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, and a cute bridal suite. The staff is knowledgeable, kind and reliable. A true Brooklyn gem!

    Absolutely perfect venue for a wedding. The space is beautiful. The staff is wonderful. We worked with Andrea from the open house until the day of the event and she was an absolute dream to work with - patient, kind, and professional. The staff who worked our event was also incredibly helpful, organized, and so friendly. We could not have been more pleased. 501 Union is a beautiful and unique space. The vibe is both vintage and modern and the space and building are well maintained. The best part is that not much decorating is needed. It's such an impressive space that you don't need to do much to make it look elegant.
