1. Brooklyn's creative hub: Silo

Brooklyn, NYC

Silo emerges as a beacon of creativity and community nestled in the vibrant borough's landscape. Housed within a repurposed industrial space, Silo exudes a unique blend of rustic charm and contemporary flair. Its distinctive architecture, characterized by exposed brick walls and soaring ceilings, sets the stage for a multitude of artistic endeavors and cultural gatherings.


This dynamic venue serves as a canvas for innovation, playing host to a diverse array of events ranging from art exhibitions and live performances to workshops and pop-up markets. With its central location in the heart of Brooklyn's cultural scene, Silo beckons both local residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in its lively atmosphere and collaborative spirit.



2. A Brooklyn venue for people who really, really like whiskey: King’s County Distillery

Brooklyn Navy Yard, Brooklyn

If Don Draper weren’t so stubbornly tied to his beloved Manhattan roots, he’d probably frequent this historic distillery. As the first New York City distillery post-prohibition, King’s County Distillery produces its whiskey entirely on-site – from grain to bottle. Housed in the 123-year-old paymaster building, this space is the entrance to Brooklyn’s Navy Yard, ironically steps from the legendary site of the Whiskey Wars of the 1860s.


The event spaces have been preserved and rustic, with peeling sage walls and creaky wood floors (maybe a health hazard in most cities, but an aesthetic perk in Brooklyn). The South Gatehouse is the main tasting room and cocktail bar, where you can sip Old Fashioneds alongside 130 of your closest friends – or host 40 of them for a seated dinner. The North Gatehouse is the exclusive event space, with dark brick walls, greenery, and access to a garden in the warmer months. A more intimate option, it can host 55 standing and 25 seated guests.



3. A historical, ornate Brooklyn venue in a former bank: Weylin

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Walk into Weylin and you’ll be shocked that this venue was only built in 1975. The interior looks more like a Roman chapel with a round, frescoed dome, intricate mosaics, and wood carvings, offset by a gold leaf trim that would make the Pope blush.


Purposefully restored to be an event venue, there are several spaces to rent. The main rotunda holds up to 600 standing guests, with 110-foot ceilings and an iconic baroque-style dome. The smaller oculus dome space holds 400 standing guests, and the two can be conjoined to accommodate up to 1,000. The brick-lined Gallery and speakeasy bar hold 275 guests and 100 guests respectively, and there are also several intimate spaces for photoshoots or intimate showings for 15 guests.



4. This venue is a breath of fresh air: Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Escape the stress of the city at this lush oasis in the heart of Brooklyn, just across the river from the concrete jungle. The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens is one of the city’s most iconic green spaces, featuring plants and flowers from New York and beyond. Its iconic architecture and abundant greenery make it a much-loved escape for Manhattanites.


Two structures are available to rent for personal and corporate use. The Palm House, a glass-walled greenhouse space with abundant natural light, can host daytime and nighttime events for up to 250 seated guests. The Atrium boasts glass floor-to-ceiling windows and a living roof full of native grasses and flowers and can host more intimate gatherings of 125. Both spaces are ecologically sustainable, and have outdoor terraces for cocktail and reception use.


Exclusive catering rights are given to Union Square Events, which specializes in American-style cocktails and canapes.



5. An event venue with waterfront views in Brooklyn: XX Venue

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Among the many converted factory spaces along the Williamsburg waterfront is XX Venue, which functions as an event space as well as an independent art gallery and a culture destination. With 15,000 square feet of hardwood madera floors, white walls, and abundant floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s a flexible blank slate to build your ideal Brooklyn bash.


Because the venue encompasses the entire top floor of the building, it offers expansive views of the Manhattan skyline and the East River. Furniture vendors can provide interior design options, or it can be left blank for a more customized setting. The open space can also be separated into breakout rooms or smaller reception spaces.



6. Rustic warehouse spaces to rent in Brooklyn: Industria

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

This wouldn’t be a Brooklyn venue list if there wasn’t a warehouse space. Though many of them are now apartments for creative freelancers who love to sleep without a bedframe, this former factory has been transformed into a 10,000-square-foot studio and event space.


There are four studios and a lobby, and each studio can be separated individually using the retractable walls or combined with the one next door. Studios 1 and 2 can hold up to 400 standing guests (200 seated), and Studios 3 and 4 can hold 200 (100 seated). The spaces can also be used for photography, filming, or live performances. The high ceilings and column-free interior mean that they are also drive-in capable from street level.


Industria also has a smaller, 7,500 square-foot location in Manhattan, in the West Village.

The Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Birthday Party venues in Brooklyn

Ah, Brooklyn! The land of artisanal coffee, bearded hipsters, and more bagels than you can shake a schmear at. Whether you're planning a swanky soiree, a quirky wedding, or an exclusive corporate shindig, Brooklyn has a plethora of venues just waiting for you to discover. But fear not! This guide will help you navigate the wild world of Brooklyn private hire venues with wit, wisdom, and just a touch of sarcasm.

Why Brooklyn?

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk about why Brooklyn is the place to be for your next event. From the trendy streets of Williamsburg to the historic charm of Brooklyn Heights, each neighborhood offers a unique vibe that can match any event's personality. Plus, nothing says "I've arrived" like hosting your bash in the borough that’s basically synonymous with cool.

####Know Your Boroughs

Brooklyn is huge. Like, really huge. Here’s a quick rundown of some key neighborhoods where you might want to rent a private venue:

Williamsburg

The epicenter of hipsterdom, Williamsburg is perfect for those who want their event to be Instagrammable AF. Think converted warehouses, rooftop bars with skyline views, and venues that double as art galleries.

DUMBO

Short for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass" (because why use four words when an acronym will do?), DUMBO is the go-to for stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. Ideal for weddings and upscale events, it offers a mix of modern and industrial spaces.

Brooklyn Heights

If you're looking for charm and history, Brooklyn Heights is your spot. Cobblestone streets and brownstones galore, this area is great for more intimate gatherings and elegant affairs.

Bushwick

For the artsy and avant-garde, Bushwick is where it’s at. Known for its street art and creative vibe, you’ll find lots of unique spaces here, from lofts to repurposed factories.

Park Slope

Family-friendly and full of tree-lined streets, Park Slope is perfect for laid-back events. Expect brownstone gardens and cozy, intimate venues.

Steps to Find the Perfect Venue

Step 1: Define Your Needs:

Before you start your hunt, know what you need. Are you hosting a wedding, a corporate event, a birthday bash, or a secret meeting of the underground cupcake society? How many guests are you expecting? Do you need a kitchen, AV equipment, or a venue that allows you to bring your own booze? Knowing these details will narrow down your search significantly.

Step 2: Budget, Baby!

Brooklyn venues range from budget-friendly to “I might need a second mortgage.” Set a realistic budget and stick to it. Remember to factor in extra costs like catering, decor, and the inevitable cab ride home for Aunt Mildred.

Step 3: Research, Research, Research

Start your venue search online through HeadBox. Just fill in our brief building with all your necessities and any requests and HeadBox will match you with a plethora of venues that fulfil your venue needs. Think if Airbnb and Tinder had a baby. And we won't match you with those with bad reviews – no one wants to discover their dream venue has a rat problem after signing the contract.

Step 4: Visit the Venues

Pictures can be deceiving, and nothing beats seeing a space in person. Schedule visits to your top choices and bring a list of questions. Check for things like accessibility, parking, and noise restrictions (Brooklyn can be loud, y’all).

Step 5: Negotiate Like a Pro

Everything is negotiable. Ask about package deals, off-peak pricing, and any additional fees that might not be obvious upfront. Be charming, but firm – channel your inner Brooklynite and don’t be afraid to haggle.

Step 6: Lock It Down

Once you’ve found the perfect spot, book it ASAP. Brooklyn venues get snatched up faster than a free brunch in Williamsburg. Make sure you understand the contract, payment schedule, and cancellation policy before signing.

Final Tips for a Flawless Event

  1. Plan Ahead: Brooklyn is a popular place for events. Start your search at least six months in advance.

  2. Think About Transportation: Consider how your guests will get to and from the venue. Proximity to public transport and parking availability are key.

  3. Stay Local: Support local businesses for your catering, flowers, and entertainment. Brooklyn is brimming with talented vendors.

  4. Permits and Regulations: Check if you need any special permits for your event, especially if it’s outdoors.

  5. Have Fun: You’ve chosen Brooklyn for its unique charm and vibrant culture. Embrace it and let your event reflect the spirit of the borough.

By following this guide, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect private hire venue in Brooklyn. So go forth, rent a venue, and throw the event of the century – Brooklyn style!

Frequently asked questions

The cost of hiring a private venue in Brooklyn varies widely depending on the size, location, and amenities of the venue. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 for a mid-sized venue. High-end venues, especially in popular neighborhoods like Williamsburg and DUMBO, can go up to $20,000 or more. It's important to set a budget and get a detailed quote from the venue to avoid any surprises.

To secure the best venues and dates, it's advisable to book your venue at least six to twelve months in advance. Brooklyn is a popular location for events, and venues can get booked up quickly, especially during peak seasons like summer and fall. Early booking also gives you more time to plan and coordinate other aspects of your event.

Amenities can vary significantly from venue to venue. Common amenities included in Brooklyn venues are tables and chairs, basic AV equipment, and sometimes even in-house catering services. Some venues may offer additional perks such as Wi-Fi, parking, and event planning assistance. Always check with the venue to see what’s included in the rental fee and what might cost extra.

Yes, there can be restrictions and permits required, especially for larger events or those held in public spaces. Common restrictions include noise ordinances, guest capacity limits, and alcohol service regulations. You may need to obtain permits for events with live music, outdoor gatherings, or if you plan to serve alcohol. It’s important to discuss these details with the venue manager and check with local authorities to ensure compliance with all regulations

When choosing a venue in Brooklyn, it's crucial to consider how your guests will get to and from the event. Many popular areas in Brooklyn, such as Williamsburg and DUMBO, have limited parking options, so it's important to check if the venue offers parking or has nearby parking facilities. Additionally, consider the venue's proximity to public transportation. Brooklyn is well-served by subway lines, buses, and even ferries, so a venue close to these options can make it easier for your guests to attend. You might also want to provide information about local taxi services or rideshare options in your event invitations to ensure all guests can arrive and depart conveniently.
