The Greenpoint Loft — Attraction in New York

The Greenpoint Loft was the perfect wedding venue and I am so so happy that we chose it for our wedding there on 9/7/24.

We had close to 190 guests plus vendors and were struggling to find a wedding venue in Brooklyn that would accommodate that size. I initially wanted a wedding venue that was full service as I didn’t want to worry about the creatives and catering. I learned that any full service venues in Brooklyn cap guest count at about 150-160. When we went to view the space I remember talking my husband it would be a quick in and out. Well, after seeing the space I quickly changed my mind and decided that putting in the work would be worth it.

The Greenpoint Loft is unique and if you have your wedding there all of your guests will say the same. It has a rustic industrial vibe that you can really make your own. The outdoor rooftop overlooking the city is great and makes for amazing sunset photos and an escape for your guest to get some fresh air. Having our wedding there in September made for the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor wedding. We did our first look at the WNC transmitter park within walking distance which allowed for outdoor/green photos, and then continued on through the street to the venue which allowed for the Brooklyn vibe photos, and then took some great shots in the courtyard on the ground floor of the building the venue is in. All to say, if you have your wedding here you have so many different options for scenery and photos and that was something that I loved!

The venue staff were easy to work with, communicative, and accommodating. While the Greenpoint Loft requires you to bring in all of your vendors it also allows for you to bring your vision to life. I didn’t realize how happy I would be seeing that become a reality, so if you are on the fence about a venue that takes a little more work, don’t be, it will be worth it when you walk in! The venue also has a few vendors that have worked in the space multiple times that they can recommend and it made the process much easier being that our vendors knew the space so well. Our guests are still talking about the circular wedding ceremony set up and how unique and special that was. I would have never done that if I didn’t see it previously done at the Greenpoint Loft. They also have two private bridal suites with bathrooms on the same floor as the main space that made it super easy to get some privacy post ceremony.

I was really worried about the switching of the main dance floor area post-ceremony and it being disruptive during cocktail hour. But the way that we set up the reception tables and the cocktail hour space made for a smooth and easy transition that was not disruptive at all. The venue is super spacious and you will have more than enough room on the dance floor for all of your guest with a wedding our size without feeling squished or too spread out. We were able to create the perfect vibe for our wedding, bringing in disco balls, florals, and lighting that fit our vision without having to do too much. It really was perfect.

I also loved being in Brooklyn for our wedding as it was so accessible for our guests. We did our after party at a nearby brewery (Threes Brewing Greenpoint) which was a 3 minute walk from the venue and made for an easy transition post wedding.

I would recommend the Greenpoint Loft to anyone looking to have their wedding...

We got married at Greenpoint Loft in June, and it was incredible. I was initially concerned about the blank space aspect, but our caterers handled everything perfectly, so it wasn't a huge deal.

There is only one elevator up to the venue, although it is large. We had our guests come early for champagne to ensure everyone was up in time. Apparently, there was a line, but we started on time, so it all worked out.

Our top tip: get married in the round (circle shape)! It's such a unique feature of this venue, and being surrounded by friends and family was amazing. We received so many compliments on this setup.

The AC works wonders, so don't worry about the temperature. However, be cautious of the steep stairs; we did have one guest take a tumble. The cocktail hour upstairs was really cool, and the views are unbeatable. We took pictures downstairs in the alleyway and at Transmitter Park, which was great.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Greenpoint Loft! Having a blank space venue allows you to direct your funds to the areas most important to you. Our vendors were awesome too: Creative Foods Catering, Unruffled Bride Planning, Adam Okimatsu Photography, Kraft & Co Florals, ULS for lighting, and The Hook Club as...

Filming at The Greenpoint Loft for Shivani and Antonella’s wedding was an absolute pleasure. This venue offers a unique blend of rustic charm and urban elegance, making every shot we captured there visually captivating. Its diverse spaces allowed us to get creative with our shots, capturing both intimate moments and grand celebrations against a stunning backdrop.

What truly stood out was the exceptional cooperation and support from the venue's staff on the day of the wedding. Their professionalism and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly greatly contributed to the success of our filming process. They were always on hand to assist, making it easy for us to navigate and capture the day’s beautiful moments seamlessly.

The Greenpoint Loft is not just a venue; it's a partner in creating memorable experiences. I highly recommend it to any couple looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, not just in aesthetics but also in service. Our experience filming there was nothing short of fantastic, and I look forward to the opportunity to work in this...
