I am giving this place a review because I had my wedding and reception here in 2008…read more I do not know much about what ethical culture is...but my point of view for this review is about the estate, the grounds, and how it worked as the host for a wedding venue. The mansion was built by the Bon Ami cleanser inventor as a gift to his daughter. Dating from 1900, it is an example of neo-Jacobean style. The building faces Prospect Park West and has a large garden. The transom windows are by Louis Comfort Tiffany. There is a library, large interior meeting room with gorgeous beams, and a glass solarium. The yard has a paved patio where the chairs and tables for a wedding reception fit perfectly. There is a side yard where we had the ceremony. We had a live acoustic band and dancing outside. You can put a tent above the dining / patio area in case of rain or too much sun. I consider this place one of the most affordable wedding venues in NYC. The place fits around 110 or less with the patio used for dining and the interior for DJ or loud band. The combination of music played by my friends and dancing outside surrounded by blooming flowers and the lovely space was intoxicating. It made the day very special for my love and for me. Do It Yourself wedding types will enjoy planning a wedding here, it is not a wedding factory...just a beautiful house of worship. The space is inspiring, vintage, retro feeling...kind of like a beautiful old grand dame rising from a nap on her chaise lounge. I had the most memorable day of my life here and will always have a place in my heart for this building and the nice people who keep her in beautiful condition.

We had a memorial service at BSEC. We had professional and amateur musicians playing at the event…read more We had a professional quality slide show to present. The venue was lovely and, in the end, everything worked out almost perfectly. This review should be five stars and if it were not for Jason's attitude, it would be. Jason is the operations manager at the venue. He has a holier than thou attitude, seems to have disdain for those who want the event to go smoothly and has this smirk on his face when you ask for something making you feel like an idiot for wanting everything to go smoothly. Everyone who came into contact with Jason felt an immediate dislike toward him. Jason did almost everything that was requested of him and he has some technical competence. However, he clearly has disdain for the common person, gives the impression that he really doesn't give a rip about your event and makes you grovel to get what you need all the while making it clear that a gratuity is expected. He told us where the projector and screen had to be and we could not move it toward the middle. With a little extra work he could have moved them both. In fact, that was the one thing that was not perfect about the event. The slideshow was not seen as well as it could have been because Jason was not willing to put in the extra effort to make it better despite our requests. I walked in the day of the event with my nephew's bassoon. He is a professional symphony musician I said where can I put this to keep it out of the way and so no one will take it. He said, "no one will take your bassoon". Instead of, "how about you place it here and it should be fine," I had to raise my voice and say "this is a $10,000 instrument and I'm not taking a chance. I know you don't care about our event, but I do." The problem is I was afraid to get too assertive with Jason because he may stop helping altogether. Look up passive aggressive in the dictionary and you will see Jason's picture. The day before the event, as we were setting up some electronics, my brother had a question/concern. Jason actually started singing "que sera sera - whatever will be, will be." If there were no complaints about Jason, that would be one thing. However, there are many complaints about Jason over the years. BSEC knows about his behavior and continues to employ him so obviously they don't care or it has not hurt their business because people like us go ahead with the venue anyway. It was so convenient ,,,,,,, This is a lovely venue. However, it comes down to the fact that Jason is really kind of a jerk and he adds to the tension of an already stress filled time. If Jason will be your on site contact and you can find a different venue, I would suggest going elsewhere.

That's about where the good stuff ends though because unless you have the juice you are going to be @0%# Blocked every step of the way by retired service personnel who still need a paycheck. Your inquiries appear to be beneath them. It's run as "Their Thing" to borrow a phrase and not a business. They seem to go the extra mile to make sure you don't book a function here and smile while doing it and I don't mean smile at you. MWR looks like a PERFECT target for DOGE.

The staff member on hand throughout our party stepped up when tech assistance was needed, when we wanted to adjust the temperature in the room, and when we called an audible to reorganize a part of the room. Having someone present throughout the night turned out to be very handy. Leading up to the big day Caitlin was very clear, communicative, easy going, and understanding. She provided helpful suggestions for us regarding where the DJ and bar should be set up and how much room we should leave for the dance floor. They charge per chair if you want them to decorate for you, and she was super relaxed about when we could tell her how many chairs we'd need. The flexibility the space offers is one of the biggest pros of having your party here. While most event halls would require you to work with a specific food vendor, we were free to bring our own food. This was great for us since we wanted to have a multitude of cuisines present. We were also allowed to come in early to add our own decorations to the space, truly customizing our party to make it look really special. While I initially thought it was a pretty remote and sleepy neighborhood to have a party in, lots of nearby restaurants, a party supply store and dollar store made the venue very well situated for our needs. So happy we went with Eventure to host our party!

It was easy to plan since they catered the food. I also bought extra food and alcohol to bring there and they had no problem with it. The ONLY issue i had was the lighting of the place. They had pinkish warm lighting and most of my pictures came out terrible because it wasn't bright enough. I did email previously and ask if we were able to make the place brighter and she said it was no problem. But the day of the party I was so busy hosting and attending to party goers that I didn't remind them to fix the lighting for me. I didn't think it would be that bad but looking back at pictures now, it's pretty bad. Group pictures are a bit blurry and our skin looks dark from the pink hue. I recommend hosting a party here but maybe ask them to fix the lighting and make it brighter, and turn off the pink hues

We booked our July 2023 wedding here at 501 union and can whole heartedly say we would recommend…read morethe space to anyone looking for a beautiful space to make their own. We planned our wedding from out of state, and this proved to be be a non issue for the staff as they easily set up phone call and zoom sessions with us and our coordinator. We felt the pricing and expectations for what was available and offered to us clear and well explained. This is an amazing space that is essentially a beautiful blank canvas, meaning you can do as much or as little as you wish here. Our day of coordinator helped us secure many vendors to fulfill all the duties of the space, almost all who had worked events here before and had nothing but good things to say. When the day of arrived, we were given free reign of the space and politely checked in with every few hours to see if we needed anything on their end. When the wedding kicked into full gear we had a small unexpected hiccup (outside their control), which they promptly worked to fix and followed up with us after the wedding. I really felt they did an amazing job with customer service and providing a clean, open space to make our dreams a reality. We brought in two food trucks, and two drop off catering to which the space lended well. The house bar staff was great and the whole day truly was a dream. TLDR; This is an amazing space, that really lets you fulfill all of your DIY dreams. It's beautiful enough on its own, but lends well to any additions you want to bring in. The house staff was great and we would definitely recommend to friends and family!
