Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This bucolic Brooklyn icon presides over the 90-acre Long Meadow in the heart of Prospect Park, putting you right at the heart of things while offering a remarkably secluded, worlds-away feel. Outdoor ceremonies are especially picturesque here, with your vows held on a verdant knoll overlooking the park's sweeping landscape.
- Originally built in 1927, the House boasts a warm red brick exterior, a terra cotta roof, gleaming hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French doors that open onto a gracious al fresco terrace. It's equally lovely in chillier months, with a working fireplace that adds a glowing warmth to gatherings.
- It's easy to design your day exactly as you imagine, thanks to their list of approved caterers who will work with your budget and dietary requests (including kosher!), the understated elegance of the building and its lush natural surroundings, and an in-house coordination team who are passionate about making every celebration a success.
