471262 Thu Dec 20 07:37:14 -0800 2007 17 19 Outer Boroughs 0 3224887 Anyone have a good suggestion for a wedding reception site in Brooklyn that can accommodate approx 130 guests for sit-down dinner and dancing? Already checked out the Marriott, which was so-so (bland), and not too interested in the BBG since a lot of friends coming to the wedding have been to many weddings held there. Looking for a cool venue first, thinking about the budget later. Priorities are good food, open bar, interesting space that can fit this many people comfortably, and somewhat close (less than a half hour) from either Manhattan or the BK Marriott, where guests from out of town might stay.

Picnic House in Prospect Park or BYOC to Smack Mellon Gallery in Dumbo Thu Dec 20 08:09:40 -0800 2007 3224887 12428 bobjbkln 2 3225036 I think it's Steiner Studios, not Steinberg.

Fri Dec 21 11:12:23 -0800 2007 3225036 12428 bobjbkln 1 3229849 I had my wedding reception at Bubby's and it was great! Very reasonable sets of options for food and drink and at the end of the day my guests were happy and full. I had pie instead of wedding cake, which Bubby's is well known for. good luck!

Wed Dec 26 19:20:09 -0800 2007 3229849 138374 jjo1014 1 3233609 I was married at the Picnic House in Prospect Park this past October and it was amazing. Since there is only one Picnic House hurry and book it for the date you need. If it is not available try Pochron Studios in Dumbo that was our second choice, a very plain loft with great views of the city. If you need... I can post the vendors that I used. Good luck!

Wed Dec 26 09:03:26 -0800 2007 3224887 12918 Offbalance 2 3709114 GPH was visually lovely, but I've been to 3 events there and the food/service at each one was a disaster Wed May 21 13:04:54 -0700 2008 3237276 20921 Tay 1 3239891 I think that you should check the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I made a wedding there 6 1/2 years ago for my oldest daughter. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the caterers, Sally, Charles & Charles are great also. Depending on the season and the weather, you have the option of having your ceremony outside or inside the beautiful glass building, the Palm HOuse. Your photographs will also be unique since the setting is so lovely. The website is www.palmhouse.com. Good luck and congratulations.

It will fit 130 + dancing comfortably. 5 minutes from manhattan. Thu Dec 27 10:13:43 -0800 2007 3224887 151179 fhonmymind 1 3709246 I am going to a wedding soon at the Masonic Temple in Fort Greene.

I've only viewed the site during a concert. Any feedback?
