Brooklyn winery was our top choice for wedding venue! We ended up booking it based on the renderings and despite being a little nervous we had confidence in the aesthetic, the look of their older location and the team we met with. They did not disappoint! Julia (our coordinator) was receptive, professional, available and very knowledgeable. She made the day event and planning SEAMLESS! The venue itself is beyond gorgeous! The plant wall and the rustic vibes mixed with a very modern look made my vision come to fruition. Every guest we had could not stop compliment the look, the food and the drinks. There were NO complaints! We highly recommend this venue!

When we heard Brooklyn Winery had moved... we were a little skeptical. We loved photographing weddings in their original space, filled with thoughtful details and, of course, the plant wall. BUT after photographing a wedding in their new location earlier this year, it's safe to say we are obsessed! Across the board, the staff was so incredibly nice and helpful. The space captured all the charm of the old place, but upgraded in size. Plus, you cannot beat the location right off McCarren Park. Even though as Brooklyn locals we know all the best spots to photograph, the venue was so beautiful inside, we could have done everything there! We cannot wait to photograph more weddings here in the upcoming year (:

Our wedding day at Brooklyn Winery was an absolute dream come true. The venue's rustic elegance set the perfect tone for our magical day. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, and the drinks were a hit with our guests. A special shoutout goes to Julia, our incredible wedding coordinator, who made everything seamless and stress-free. Her meticulous planning and warm demeanor allowed us to savor every moment without a worry. Our friends and family had a blast, and we were truly able to immerse ourselves in the joy of the celebration. Brooklyn Winery, along with the amazing team and Julia, made our wedding a memory we'll forever cherish.

I photographed Bridget and Brad's beautiful wedding here in the spring. I highly recommend it! They did a great job switching from the ceremony set up to the reception set up. I love the variety of photos I as a photographer was able to take of the couple. Always love doing photos by the wine barrels.

Where to begin with Brooklyn Winery!? The space, the staff, the food, the wine -- all of it was beyond our wildest dreams for our wedding. We’ve never worked with a kinder, more accommodating, and lovely group of people. If you’re searching for a wedding venue in NYC, Brooklyn Winery should absolutely be #1 on your list. The space: A perfect combination of modern and vintage. There are cozy little details everywhere you look, organic greenery throughout the space, clean industrial lines, and the wallpaper in the bathrooms is NEXT LEVEL. There’s a reason people refer to the bathroom as the “selfie station.” The ambiance at our wedding was perfectly warm & cozy thanks to the impeccable decor at Brooklyn Winery. Also, they designed this place with events in mind. There is a flow to the layout that just works. Over six hours we moved 80+ guests from room to room without any confusion or awkward pauses. The consideration that went into this space is evident in every detail; the seamless way everything flows together is simply flawless. The staff: I don’t think I can fully express our gratitude for the hard work, dedication, accommodation, and positivity that every single person working at Brooklyn Winery exhibited throughout the course of planning and celebrating our wedding. No matter who we interacted with, they had a smile on their face, and went out of their way to help us with whatever we needed. Julia, our amazing event manager, went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and exactly what we envisioned. She was extremely responsive, detail oriented, calming, and her years of experience made the entire process stress-free for us. With so many moving pieces that go into planning a wedding, Julia made sure no detail was missed. She truly made the wedding of our dreams a reality. The food: Wedding food can be hit or miss, but let us tell you, the food at the Brooklyn Winery absolutely blew us away. They had SO many options that we were struggling to choose – this was by far the most difficult aspect of wedding planning. A few members of our family have serious allergies, and the Winery staff went out of their way to accommodate and make sure they were still getting amazing food. No one felt like a burden or an obstacle, and it was such a relief for us to see our most restricted guests chowing down on their meals with gusto. Our final wedding menu was hit after hit after hit, from cocktail hour to dessert. The biggest highlights for us were the devils on horseback, speck toast, fried chicken, and braised short rib. In the four weeks since our wedding we have heard so many compliments specifically about the food – it really exceeded all expectations. The wine: We couldn’t leave a review about a winery without mentioning the wine. Made directly on site, there was a wine for everyone. Our favorite was the unoaked chardonnay – the best chardonnay around!! And the Winery serves each course with a paired wine, adding another special level to the dining experience. We were thrilled to order private label wine favors for our guests, sending everyone home with a bottle to enjoy later. We were so excited that this was an option because we got to design labels that featured illustrations of our cats – a sweet way to include them in our wedding! Overall, Brooklyn Winery transformed something as big, chaotic, stressful, and crazy as a wedding into the smoothest possible experience. Their dedication and obvious pride in what they do shines through in every interaction. No detail was overlooked in designing this space and imagining the weddings that would take place in it. The staff at Brooklyn Winery made our wedding absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you for giving us the best day of our lives!!

I cannot fully express how amazing our experience was with Brooklyn Winery for our wedding reception! From the very first contact we had with the BW team they were consistently affable, helpful, efficient, and professional. Every. single. member. of the team was beyond fantastic! We do have to especially highlight Nicole, Douglas, and our Event Manager, Julia, though. Nicole made sure every detail in the initial planning stages was perfect and warmly and clearly communicated. Douglas was the first person we met during our initial visit to the Winery and the last person we saw when we picked up our final items following the reception, and he is just joy personified. And Julia? Flawless. We did not have a single worry about our "Big Day" knowing that Julia was there handling it all with her attention to detail, kindness and good humor. It was a little nerve-wracking that they would be opening/moving to a new space between when we booked the venue and when our reception was held, but there was really no reason for concern as the new space perfectly reflected the virtual walkthrough and was beautiful, cozy yet not-at-all cramped, and perfectly arranged for the flow of the event. It has the ease of a full-service/banquet-style venue without the cookie-cutter feel of one. We really appreciated the decor that was provided and thought the candles and mismatched china were lovely. The drinks and food were easy to access (no waits and no lines) and delicious (not just for wedding food, but legitimately great!) They made the whole process beautiful, easy, and fun. I am so, so grateful that we were able to have this experience with them and would recommend Brooklyn Winery a million times over.

This was a girls day out and wow. This was a really good experience. We did the wine tasting for 2. The cheese platter was delicious. The wines were ok. I believe we were able to taste 5 different wines that were chosen for us. I only liked 2/5. None of the wines blew my mind, but the service and ambience made up for this.

We visited the Brooklyn Winery in November as part of the wine tasting and winery tour experience which we purchased. Wow! What a great experience! The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable and incredibly insightful for someone like me, who knew nothing about wine. I went in with a strong dislike of red wine and left as a fan! The wine is of fantastic quality, flavour, and variety. Every wine we tried was 10/10 for me. So much so that we made sure to purchase some at the end to take home with us! The host was incredibly personable and knowledgeable, and despite there being only the two of us that evening, she was very accommodating and animated. I have to say I learned so much coming away from that experience. Particularly how to really taste wine, appreciating the aromas and how it tastes on the palette. And also an understanding of the regions of where the grape is grown. Afterwards, we had booked a table in the adjoining restaurant - Rosette. The food was incredible and a perfect pairing with a glass of the wine we had just sampled. All in all, a perfect way to spend an evening in Brooklyn. I would encourage you to experience it for yourself!

If you want a wedding that is unique and unlike any you've attended, read on! Not only is the space breathtakingly beautiful, but the food is BEYOND delicious. Better than you've ever had at a wedding ever - I promise you that. The wine is so, so good and never stops flowing. The non-traditional vibe of the evening creates the perfect energy of an intimate dinner party (even if there are 100 guests) followed by a huge bar hang with all your favorite people having the best time. The bridal/groom suites are not only well placed in the venue, but are aesthetically interesting in photos. AND it's a full service venue! I've included photos of various spaces within the venue on this post. Beyond the specs, the service you will receive from the events team is top tier. Planning a wedding in a post-COVID world is no simple task, and you can be assured that the staff at the BKW will be there for you every. step. of. the. way. They are knowledgable, experienced, and so very human. We were one of the "unlucky" couples who had their wedding cancelled last minute due to the surge in COVID cases in December 2021. It was devastating, of course. The staff at the winery grieved with us as if it was their own special day. They laid out all our options, and gave us full control in deciding how to move forward. They then proceeded to do everything in their power to make this day happen for us as we envisioned it. Marisa and Chelsey, along with others behind the operation, delivered above and beyond this promise. They immediately rescheduled, helped us manage the rescheduling of our vendors, and threw in some extras to make sure we felt cared for and valued. They guided us in our planning, considered our cultural values, our family's priorities, and helped us optimize our time at the venue from start to finish. Our wedding day was better than we imagined it could be after having our plans completely changed, and, thanks to their dedication, the losses on our end were practically nonexistent. Listen, it is expensive to get married in NYC. We paid for our wedding ourselves, I get it. But there is something to be said for getting the most for your dollar. After touring many venues, we decided on the Brooklyn Winery because it truly has it all. This is the *best* the city has to offer. End your search - you will not be sorry!

The Brooklyn Winery exceeded all our expectations for our wedding! From the long-term planning, menu tasting experience and food, to coordinating with all our vendors and executing day-of activities, the Winery staff truly brought our vision to life and made us feel so special, attending to all our questions and concerns throughout the entire process. In particular, the professional experience of the Winery staff really shone through – their level of service, care, attention to detail, and artistic vision really took so much pressure off us to ensure everything went as planned. We were especially pleased with our Event Manager, Chelsey; she ran a flawless program by making sure we kept to a schedule without being intrusive or distracting from our enjoyment – her calm demeanor and preparation really helped us focus on soaking up the experience. Exceptional job!! We and our guests had an absolute blast!!

We love this place!! Reservations were made to celebrate my husbands birthday and let me just say that the service, food and especially the Wine was amazing! The staff were all really nice and accommodating. The food was really good and most of all tasteful! Their wine, especially their Merlot and Riesling is really good. Our waiter was knowledgeable in food to wine pairings. I highly recommend for birthdays, gatherings or just date night! Thank you Brooklyn Winery for an amazing Saturday night!

Highly recommend the tour and tasting — ask for Fanna. She was incredible and taught us so much. Couldn’t have spent a more perfect afternoon.

Hands down, one of the best wedding venues in all of New York City. The plant wall and wooden beams give the perfect rustic feel, while the modern touches like the large windows and skylights provide a touch of elegance. The wine list is extensive and offers something for everyone, from reds and whites to sparkling wines. The food is also incredible, with options ranging from light appetizers to hearty entrees. Day or night, Brooklyn Winery is perfect to create stunning wedding photos. As wedding photographers at Megan & Kenneth we couldn’t recommend this spot more - the staff is impeccable and keep things SO on point for your big day.

Our favorite wedding venue in Brooklyn! We are wedding photographers and this space is such a magical one to host a celebration. The industrial modern rooms filled with greenery and flooded with light - it's such a dreamy space to say I do, enjoy fine fare and wine with your loved ones and dance the night away.

really cute spot for a girls night or date night, the wine selection is great and the food is good. love the decor inside, there’s tons of space for big groups too! they have private rooms upstairs you can reserve, or you can rent out the entire space for an event. i love the tuesday board&bottle special (2 cheeses and a meat + a bottle of wine for $39) and wednesday 1/2 off bottles with a $20 food purchase. such a steal, i’ll definitely be back!

My fiance and I recently got married (March 2023) and we cannot rave enough about how wonderful Brooklyn Winery is as a venue. The entire staff was so easy to work with from our first email interaction to signing our contracts and executing our actual wedding. We reached out while they were in the process of building out their new venue and they were so informative of the renovation process, the timing and did a great job of sharing all the renderings so we felt comfortable in signing with them. As we approached our 6 month mark, they connected us to our event manager and got us scheduled for our wedding tasting. The tasting was such a beautiful event and it was so great to meet with our event Manager, Julia during that tasting. Julia was PHENOMENAL. She was very responsive and sent us timeline templates to help us stay organized as we approached our big day. She also coordinated with all our vendors! She helped us flawlessly execute the dreamiest wedding. We loved Brooklyn Winery and wish we could re-live our wedding over and over again.
