New York City’s most populous borough has also become its hippest, most dynamic as well. The diversity of well-preserved historic neighborhoods, a thriving waterfront with spectacular views (including the Brooklyn Bridge and Lady Liberty), the magnificent oasis of Prospect Park, and the revitalized industrial areas pulsating with creative energy all provide unique settings for a wedding. All you have to do is pick a venue to match your vision!

Brooklyn Botanic Gardens   

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is nestled in the heart of Brooklyn, a magnificent oasis featuring exquisite trees, pastoral lawns, and flower borders. It is the ideal location for any style of wedding, whether it’s an afternoon ceremony amid seasonal flowers or a dance party reception underneath the stars. They offer two event spaces; the first one is The Palm House, a charming glass-walled venue that can accommodate up to 275 guests and sits right next to the garden’s Lily Pool Terrace. The Atrium is the second option, a stunning living garden boasting floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooking the garden’s Cherry Esplanade.
