"DO consider having your wedding at one of my favorite Brooklyn venues: 450 Union also know as The Green Building, the Prospect Park Picnic House, The Dumbo Loft, 1 Hanson, (not cheap but worth it and they give discounts to Brooklyn locals), Smack Mellon Gallery, Galapagos and The Bell House. If you are willing to not have your wedding on a Saturday just about any space will offer a nice discount. Bring on the Thursday night cocktail party wedding from 7-11pm. Super-low rental prices and your guests still get home in time for a proper nights sleep. Better yet, they can try and get Friday off and usher in a long weekend of celebrating your nuptials."
