Where to Have Your Micro Wedding: Brooklyn
photo by Lev Kuperman
Micro (or mini) weddings are not new. Heck, I love a big wedding, but there’s something special about an intimate experience as you celebrate your union. Many couples decide to do smaller weddings as a way to save money, and create a more unique experience. However, as we gather and celebrate through the lens of a global Pandemic, micro weddings provide safety and ease. As NYC begins to re-open and in-person weddings are possible, here are three venues in Brooklyn offering smaller packages that certainly do not skimp on style! If you need guidance, on your wedding ceremony, please let me know!
Brooklyn Grange

The Brooklyn Grange, located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is offering 2 options. Their private events team can help you make this a one-of-a-kind experience, surrounded by vibrant rooftop crops and calming river breezes, that neither you nor your guests will forget!
Their LITTLE GEM CEREMONY includes 1 hour on the rooftop for your ceremony + photos for up to 10 guests (including the couple and officiant). No food/bar is included.
The MINI WEDDING package adds a cocktail hour. 2 hours for the ceremony + photos + light refreshments (provided by Campbell & Co.) for up to 30 guests (including the couple and officiant).
The ceremony can be held on the paved patio (covered) or in the field (open-air, with platforms installed between rows of produce for guests to stand on). The rooftop event season runs from mid-May through mid-October.

MyMoon
MyMoon is a Spanish restaurant and event space in Williamsburg. Their outdoor deck is an intimate space perfect for a more casual and minimalist wedding without sacrificing style, elegance and quality. You can host your ceremony there, and have a delicious meal immediately following. They have a FAMILY STYLE DINNER option (up to 70 guests) and COCKTAIL STYLE options with passed hors d’oeuvres and a cheese & charcuterie station (up to 100 guests) for semi-private events. Both packages are 3 hours and include an open bar.
If low-key, laid back, and intimate, are words you’d use to describe your perfect wedding day, feel free to check out their website. Contact Lee weddings@mymoonnyc.com with any questions or to schedule a visit.
Wythe Hotel
This stylish Williamsburg hotel has always been a place for small weddings. Weddings in the Lofts on the 7th and 8th floor of the hotel, offer breathtaking waterfront and city skyline views and sophisticated Brooklyn chic interiors. The Lofts Terraces can host al fresco wedding ceremonies overlooking the New York City skyline for up to 45 guests. After the ceremony, the Lofts are the perfect venue for cocktail hour, allowing the group to toast the happy couple in style.
