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.

The guests were raving about how amazing the food was, how beautiful the venue is and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Jeff was so great to work with, he made our experience leading up to the wedding stress free and he was so accommodating. His team was also amazing day of, they were there within seconds for any of my needs. When a torrential downpour started minutes into our outdoor ceremony, the team was so quick to respond. Without hesitation, they immediately went into cocktail hour indoors and everyone was ready to go. When the rain cleared, all seats were dried and we were able to have the amazing outdoor ceremony I always dreamed of, and even better the second time around with an amazing backdrop that liberty warehouse has and the most beautiful sunset. The space itself is so amazing, outside from the beautiful view, the inside gives you the opportunity to create any vision you want. Every wedding they do looks so different and I was able to make my dreams a reality with this space. We even utilized both the upstairs and downstairs to do a dinner in one room and a party in another, both spaces were so unique and beautiful! The bridal suite was also an amazing place to get ready day of, there was so much room and Jeff had coffee, champagne, water refilled all day for us, it was so much fun getting ready there! I will never be over this day and I highly recommend Liberty Warehouse to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.

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.

It's a short walk a few blocks over from the subway station. The place is HUGE! We didn't cover everything, but I know I already want to return and see more. Yesterday, we visited Japan Village and House of GOAL NY mainly, and we had lunch at the Food Hall and visited the two-story Petco store there. We cut through Innovation Alley to get to different buildings throughout the day, so we got to see a variety of shops, eateries, and courtyards in the Industry City compound (yeah, that was intentional, I said compound). It's a vibrant place with how the indoor and outdoor areas are laid out, designed, and decorated. By design, it's a space to bring people together and gather, etc. I also noticed how accessibility friendly it was with ramps, clear signage for elevators, etc. I really liked Industry City a lot and will come back for sure :)

After lunch I spent about an hour strolling around and it felt like I could have stayed even longer. There are so many restaurants and stores that you can wander without any plan and still find something interesting. The whole space has this open creative energy that feels very Brooklyn. You see families, people working on laptops, groups hanging out, and visitors just exploring. The courtyards are really nice to walk through and the art installations give the place a fun personality. It feels like a mix of food hall, shopping area, and outdoor hangout spot all in one. There are great food options, coffee spots, and little shops that make it easy to spend time there without rushing. It is the kind of place where you can grab lunch, walk around, sit outside for a bit, and still feel like you have more to see. I left thinking I need to come back on a weekend when I can take my time. It is a really enjoyable spot in Brooklyn and perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

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.

This is the worst place to have any event! These people are thieves, and all the extra amenities…read morethey offer are lies to get you to pay more money. 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.

The 4-million square foot BAT complex was used as a supply base and military depot during both World Wars. During WWII, it became the country's largest military supply base. Soldiers were deployed from here -- Elvis Presley being the most famous. BAT was decommissioned in 1964. Much of the original architecture remains today. A variety of tenants lease the space. I spent a long time in Building B's impressively majestic main atrium, soaking in the stunningly silent and solemn atmosphere. It was late in the day, and overcast. I was one of the only ones there. It felt almost reverent, as if I was in an industrial cathedral. Very cool to also see the old track where freight trains use to pull in and unload their cargo. Afterwards, it was a short walk around back to catch the NYC ferry. I'd love to return one day and explore more of this remarkable place.

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.
