We walked around the outside of the building and then walked into that incredible room. We immediately knew this was it. We could instantly imagine a perfect wedding with Mackenzie and Ian getting married in front of the Statue of Liberty as the sun went down. We pictured our friends in tuxes and cool dresses raving about us having the best food and great music and the most beautiful venue and the most beautiful bride. We imagined them writing us after, saying that it was the most gorgeous, spectacular wedding that they had ever been to...that it had the best view and phenomenal food...And guess what...it all came true...everything came true. The staff, food and ambience is just the beginning. Jeff is wonderful and made it a magical experience and his kind and supportive words on the day of the wedding were so appreciated. Pam Roman, from the minute we sat down with her a year and a half ago to the last piece of chocolate she brought out to make s'mores overlooking the Statue of Liberty on June 28th.... She made it all happen. She was unbelievably intuitive and inventive...Pam was our own personal wedding planner, wedding psychologist, wedding consultant, food consultant, music consultant, etc....She was EVERYTHING to us.....We could not have done this without her. She was a Rock Star....and we simply went along for the ride. Liberty Warehouse is PERFECTION!

The venue? Gorgeous... The location? Not the most convenient to get to, but the views are…read morespectacular... The food? Delicious... So why only 3 stars? Well despite attending a beautiful wedding here, our group had SEVERAL issues with the staff. First of all, it's called cocktail hour. Not cocktail 45 minutes. Not to mention they raced to put away the food before guests had a chance to get their final plates. Also, I don't think I've ever attended a cocktail hour where I was told "no" by one of the servers when asking for more than one item (seriously, they had chicken and lamb skewers, I asked for one of each and was told no). The bartenders were messing up drinks left and right, and the waiters (while friendly) made some errors as well. Our whole table was never served cake, and I think this is the first wedding I've ever attended where I actively needed to flag someone down to get a cup of coffee. In all honesty the food was very good, we just wish the staff serving it was up to the same level.

This place serves up fresh art in a beautiful well lit gallery space. The artist in this show were young but had ample show credits. There were four artists represented for the current show. The work by John Elliott is worth a visit to see. Composed of 100 or so different sized paintings arranged in a mathematical array of sorts. The vibe on opening night was a great mix of locals and art lovers from out of the area.

One of the perks of the venue was the bartender provided to us for our Friendsgiving which was super helpful. Everyone loved the event space and how spacious it was, Ernestina provided security downstairs for our guests and was super helpful with making sure we had everything we needed and had an extra person there to assist cleaning up throughout the night. Our guests could not stop speaking on how amazing a time they had and the sleek setup the space provided (lounge area in the front and dining experience towards the back). I would certainly look into booking Ernestina for our next event as everything was perfect from beginning to end and the perks the space came with helped to elevate both ours and our guests night in Brooklyn.

I definitely need to come back to this area it really is a gem that I am sad I didn't get to experience more. If there is ever another event in the space let it be known I will be there.

PROS: This…read moreneighborhood venue is a local choice for events. It can accommodate fifty people comfortably. The area is well-populated, so you won't have to worry about being stranded after an event at night. Parking will be very limited prepare early. Public transportation is conveniently located nearby, and the venue is clean and well-lit upon arrival. It is a side street but not far off 5th Avenue. The person on hand was friendly and helpful, and they're always ready to assist you with lighting, tables, or AC adjustments. Knowing some Spanish is helpful, maybe that was just my experience. Proud to say we did! The facilities were cleaned when you arrive. CONS: The event space is on the second floor, which means it's not accessible for people with wheelchairs, walkers, or canes. There's no elevator to bring up food, drinks, decorations, or equipment. Also, remember to bring extra toiletries for the bathroom. The bar area is small, so you can only store a few bottles below. There's a long ice chest below for stocking cold drinks, and there's an ice maker on site behind the bar. Overall, I'd give this venue three stars for the experience. All you need is a plan and people to execute it, and it can be a nice venue for your event.

I had my baby shower at Sunset Social and paid an additional $400 on top of their $1200 fee. I also added a throne chair for $150. When I got to the facility, they did not set up as they agreed, leaving us (including my pregnant self) to have to set up late. They gave me my paid-for throne chair at the end of our baby shower after having to ask them for it. I paid the $400 for the 360 photo booth, but they never provided the service because their photo booth operator got drunk and broke the equipment. (as I was told via phone call from JOSE RIVERA, AN ABSOLUTE LIAR WHO SAID HE WOULD REFUND MY MONEY) I was still charged for the service after Jose called to let me know he would not be charging. Both Jose & his gf came into my party, ate our food & drank our liquor (for our guests), all while looking high on drugs. I was mortified having my party at Sunset Social House!!! After I realized Jose was ignoring my messages about my $700 refund, I disputed the charge with my credit card. This is when Jose would reach out to try to "fix" things after initially ignoring me. When we spoke, we decided to let the dispute go through; however, Jose would then tell the credit company that he had already paid me, so my dispute would end with me being responsible. 3 TIMES WE WENT THROUGH THIS SINCE JANUARY. DO NOT BOOK HERE!!! I did not get my $300 security deposit back (after we cleaned up after our party), nor did I get my $400 for a service I did not receive. This only gets 1 star because I have to give it that minimally, I give this venue 0 stars.

Overall, alot of venues in Brooklyn are overrated, sure there are places to party but compared to spots like in the NY nightlife scene back to or 15 years ago it does not add up. Mau P just had a show recently here and that was definitely more of a rave or wannabe rave crowd.

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.

The wedding gods gifted us with a torrential wedding day so while we were sad to not have our ceremony outside, it was no problem to set up a huppah, chairs, stereo for recessional, etc. It is a beautiful old building and you really feel as though you are contributing to the community when you work with them. Although we had our reception at the Prospect Park Boathouse (wanting a longer wedding day), the BSEC would have made a fun reception location as well.
