74Wythe was truly the most amazing wedding venue we could have even dreamed of or asked for! When my fiancé & I were looking at wedding venues - my Type A self had us go to 'em all. We saw over 20 venues in person in Manhattan & Brooklyn but we knew as soon as we went to 74Wythe that both the space & the team were IT for us. When we first toured the space - they were doing some additional remodeling after having only a handful of weddings so far - there was literal sawdust on the floor and we still were both absolutely in love with the space and team. The rooftop cannot be beat!! It is truly a magical space and I was so thankful to have the built in weather plan since the roof is glass & retractable (which we ended up needing since it was unseasonably rainy on our day). I wanted a venue that had both inside & outside components & the rooftop of 74 was our dream come true! In addition to the show stopping rooftop - the other spaces were incredible as well. We had our cocktail hour in the main room & the two level space with multiple bars & built in stage was incredible for our cocktail hour. We also were able to have our late night in the SPEAKEASY (how insane is that?!) aka jbird. We were able to have our full day there - they had spaces for everything we needed & wanted. The venues proximity to the hotels in the area also made for such a seamless weekend for us & all of our guests. The beauty of the spaces gives you such an amazing jumping off point for bringing your event to life. There is beautiful wallpaper, greenery, murals, furniture, lighting & more that we were so thrilled to have. In addition to these beautiful spaces - the team CANNOT be beat!! Chloe was our absolute wedding angel - coordinating with us & our planner every step of the way. We also got to meet Katy & Tiana on site visits & emails who were also so on top of everything for us. Our guests were also raving about how phenomenal the day of staff was! They kept everything running so smoothly better than we could have even imagined. From the porters to the bartenders to the venue coordinators (s/o to Jocelynn & Conrad!) to the bathroom attendants - the flip from ceremony to reception was seamless, lines always managed & guests & wedding party incredibly well taken care of.
TL;DR: Skyline views, incredible staff, beautiful spaces -- you cannot ask for a better venue. Thank you 74Wythe for the wedding...
Read moreThis venue is a stunning wedding spot and one I actively inquired about for my wedding in 2023 - but my unfortunate experience is their New Year's Eve party at the rooftop due to which I'd absolutely never consider this venue or recommend it.
My group of 15 friends and I purchased their $230/pp tickets for the rooftop, which was advertised as a higher tier ticket than their regular "superior ingredient" area for $80. The ticket included admission and open bar, with what was supposed to be a diverse selection of DJ's. The admission line was an hour + all night. The open bar was non-existent. It was a safety hazard to even stand in line due to the surge crowd pushing. After the one hour wait in line to get drinks while being physically suffocated, the bar has no juice or mixers of any sort. Disgusting "cocktails". The "rooftop" that was different than the cheap tickets was a wet outdoor area that had no bar of its own. Everyone was in the same crowded venue space and there was no distinction to be made. Every one had access to the same areas, so why falsely advertised at $230 VS the same $80 package is beyond me besides corporate greed.
Not to mention, the DJ's had zero variety. We watched from the rooftop deck at how one of the DJ's literally talked to her friend the entire time and wasn't actually mixing. 30 years + of NYE spent here and I've never been somewhere that didn't do a count down or acknowledge the new year.
The 15 of us simultaneously agree to this being a gross rooftop venue and personally the worst establishment I've visited. I'm sure it works for the transplants who were all drugged on NYE, but not for any sane individual looking to receive their $230 worth. PS: We were only able to receive one gross drink each the entire night from the open bar that was offered in my $230 ticket - that's how bad the bar was. It's a big fat no from me and ruined our entire evening and new year.
PS: I've noticed in reviews that the manager responses in a grotesque manner to any review that slightly criticized this venue. Please stop harassing guests whom you clearly mistreat. Just stop it. Otherwise, this venue’s got 15 big fat business bureau complaints coming...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Attending a wedding at 74 Wythe, Brooklyn, was an unforgettable experience. This grand rooftop venue captivates its guests right from the onset with a stunning panorama of the Manhattan skyline and the East River, painting an exquisite backdrop to the event. With both indoor and outdoor settings available for rent, it effortlessly catered to the dynamics of the wedding I attended in May 2021.
The architectural splendor of 74 Wythe is complemented by its capacity to accommodate up to 200 guests comfortably. This feature stood out during the wedding as all the attendees had enough room to enjoy the event while maintaining an intimate and connected atmosphere.
Beyond its stunning views and spacious interiors, what impressed me most was the attentive and accommodating staff. Their dedication to making the event go smoothly was evident, and they were always available to assist or answer any questions. The excellent lighting setup further enhanced the ambiance, giving a soft glow that added to the charm of the evening.
The location of the venue, nestled in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, made it an excellent choice for city dwellers, with easy accessibility being a key advantage.
However, it's important to note a few considerations for future planners. While the venue may be on the pricier side, the remarkable experience it offers justifies the investment. Moreover, the food selection, though diverse, may not cater to all tastes.
Despite these minor cons, 74 Wythe undoubtedly provides a memorable wedding experience. It's a rooftop jewel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that melds luxury, comfort, and awe-inspiring views perfectly. Whether planning your special day or attending a celebration, this venue is worth...
