While most buildings in NYC are old, the Green Building represented a big part of Brooklyn's…read morehistory. It dates all the back to the 1800s, where it was the home to a number of industrial companies specializing in everything from water pipes to cement. The fact it's adjacent to the Gowanus Canal's waterway made it an attractive spot for businesses. After being the home of a brass foundry for nearly 60 years, it had undergone an extensive renovation in 2008 to become a special events venue that many know and love today. They managed to do all of this while still maintaining its iconic green exterior. Between then and now, it was a destination for Brooklyn weddings, corporate outings, and lots of fun special events. I enjoyed several visits here and was constantly impressed how the team here was able to make every different look so different from each other. Plus the venue staff that worked did a good job in making sure every gathering was a success. Fast forward to current times, the block and as well the surrounding buildings have been purchased by an investment group looking to create more residential spaces. Demolition has already began and is going as of the time of this review. While I can't fault a company for wanting to make some money, I am sad to see more history go by the wayside.

The green building's staff were so kind to our guests and our guests continued to compliment us for finding a beautiful and unique space. We had to move the ceremony due to inclement weather and it was a seamless transition. We had the pleasure of working with Bridget and then was gracefully handed off to Angelica after her departure. Angelica was wonderful to work with and filled in the gaps and answered questions we may have had. Our wedding coordinator and Angelica handled everything to make our day absolutely perfect. Choosing the Green Building was one of the best decisions we made!

As we pulled up in front of the place we were kindly greeted by a gentleman at the front door. The La Tablee NY Tasting is a celebration of over 100 wines of the Rhone Valley (Northen + Southern France) . The La Tablee NY Tasting was already in full swing as we checked in, placed our outerwear at the coat check and were each given a wine glass and wine tasting booklet. Before proceeding towards any wine/food tables, we glanced at the map indicating where each wine/food table was located. We went to each table, sampled things and marked it off in our booklet. There was space to write notes pertaining to specific wines that we liked. Because I enjoy the flavor of white wine and since there was fewer of those, I can safely say that every single white wine I had was my favorite-lol. Along with the wine tasting, there were delightful tasty treats to sample from restaurants/eateries including Atrium, Andante Dairy, Bar Boulud, Celestine and Frankies Spuntino. The Charcuterie platters (fresh cheeses, breads, crackers, fruit and meats) were so good. We tried Toscanna Aqua Penna for the first time (yes, I am very late-lol) and this bottled water is smooth + refreshing. Shout out to Columbe staffperson Ellie as she made the best Latte.... Bridge 26 boats wooden floors and high ceilings in which the natural sunlight radiates through the venue. There are bathrooms on the upper and lower levels and the downstairs bathroom has a connecting "powder room" so that brides, birthday boys/girls and eveyone in between can freshen up and get ready for their festivities. 375 people can be in the venue for standing events and a bit over 200 can fit there during seated events. The Bridge 26 website has a section in which you can send them an email to make general inquiries on booking this space. The La Tablee NY Tasting was fantastic and it was cool to attend it at 26 Bridge.

Weddings venues with a rustic Brooklyn feel would be perfect here. It a bit of a walk from the Train station, and there's not much parking other than street parking. Location wise it's good for the scenic views if you walk out to Brooklyn Bridge park to take pictures, and the cobble stoned streets in the area.

I spent months searching for a bat mitzvah venue that felt special - something beautiful,…read moresophisticated, and still within a realistic budget. I thought I'd have to compromise. I even put a deposit down somewhere else, but the space never felt right and I couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment. I kept looking... And then... I found Lights on Kent. The moment we walked in, my daughter's face lit up as you can see from the video! The space is stunning - bright and elegant even before adding decor. I knew right away this was our place. I cancelled the other venue immediately. It was the best decision I made in the entire planning process. Charlie, the venue manager, was awesome. He assured me I didn't need to overspend to create something magical. He supported me from start to finish, responded to every concern, offered creative solutions, and genuinely cared about us having a meaningful, joyful event. After the bat mitzvah, when I needed help navigating some vendor issues, he stepped up without hesitation. That level of support was priceless. Our guests were taken aback by how gorgeous the room looked and how special the atmosphere felt. If you're looking for a breathtaking space, flexible and wonderful people to work with, and a venue that truly cares about your event, Lights on Kent is it. I am beyond grateful to them for helping make my daughter's bat mitzvah feel as beautiful and special as it could. While I continue to have issues with a vendor, post-event, having their support has helped me process, helped me sort through the problems, and this level of support is above and beyond. Some places are just venues. This one felt like, and still feels like their on my team. Thank you LOK!

We hosted a small…read moreengagement party (less than 20 people) in August and the utmost importance was placed on following social distancing and safety protocols. Glasshouse executed wonderfully - the staff wore both gloves and masks at all times, the dinner tables were spread 6 feet apart for distant seating, there was ample sanitizing lotion, and the outdoor deck was always open to ensure constant air flow, among other safety measures they thoughtfully helped us with. Alan and team executed a flawless and unforgettable engagement party. We are beyond happy and couldn't have asked for a better and safe night. Much kudos to Glasshouse for providing one of the best times of our lives while being 100% safe, providing some positive light during these extraordinary times.

The Glasshouse Chelsea encompasses large spaces on the 14th and 21st floors of The Chelsea Arts…read moreTower. The event location offers sweeping views of the Hudson River, the Vessel, and a good deal of Manhattan and New Jersey's Gold Coast. The areas are supposed to be customizable, and I recently attended a party on the 21st floor. The space was more limited than I had expected, but I think it might have been configured as such. For instance, according to its website, it could fit up to 150 guests for a cocktail party or 20-120 guests for a seated dinner, but this setup held about 60-70 patrons. However, it was able to accommodate a coat check, a bar, a DJ station, a photo booth, and a few couches, while still allowing room for attendees to gather in groups and servers to pass out hors d'oeuvres. The party I attended was catered by Abigail Kirsch, and the food was fabulous in both taste and quantity. So, while the Glasshouse Chelsea is pretty far west and not the most convenient, its ability to set the scene for a great event makes it worth the trip, either as an organizer/planner or as an attendee.

The hall is very modern and well maintained. Parking lots are on site (which is rare). Decor and space is top notch, even down to the bathrooms! Fully equipped kitchen/bar space with rolling coolers, 2 huge stand up refrigerators, under counter fridge, ice maker, and sinks. Abdul has a one stop shop for most of your decorating needs... if you need a table/chair cover, dessert stands, throne chairs, or many other items he has a storage area on site of various color things to choose from for competitive rates. Abdul makes the whole planning process VERY smooth by just being helpful, and PROFESSIONAL, which you don't really see anymore in most places. It isn't about the money for him, it's about YOU as a client getting the best experience for your event.

There was a street fair outside which they had told me daughter would be finished up by 3. It finished sometime around 7. There was NO SIGN - nothing.

They saw a street fair and big building with no markings on it that looked like a factory.
