Beautiful Venue
I got married here a few weeks ago. It's the most beautiful space - the park provides a lovely and relaxed backdrop. For future couples - be aware the space is very DIY, so you need to purchase rentals/decor/everything separately. I initially thought it was a pretty affordable venue, but the total cost for the wedding (70ppl) ended up being 50k.
Our perfect venue!
We loved getting married at the Picnic House. The venue has a such a nice/warm/relaxed atmosphere, and having Prospect Park as the backdrop really made our event feel like a backyard Brooklyn wedding. The venue team was great to work with, and we were able to mostly use vendors who had worked extensively at the Picnic House before which made planning pretty seamless. Highly recommend!!
The most perfect venue
We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our wedding. Prospect Park holds a big place in our hearts, and the Picnic House is the diamond at its center. The building is gorgeous, the floor is pristine and dance-ready, the room is spacious, and the staff are incredibly warm and kind. In a world where thousands of dollars get spent on weddings, I was really glad that this was an investment in the park we love so much. Would wed there again in a heartbeat!
We loved getting married in the Picnic House!
Prospect Park is our favorite place in the city, it's meaningful doing it there where we get to visit so often and being among all our neighbors enjoying the park! The space on the inside is elegant and spacious, we fit 150 people there no problem. The staff is friendly and communicative and let us tour it multiple times. Three notes - you have good catering options there (we went with Bon Soir, they were superb), but there's only one rental company, so make sure to get a rental quote through your caterer before booking, it can add up. There's also not as much bathroom space, our lines for the men's room would maybe be fixed by turning the bathrooms unisex. Lastly, if you do your ceremony outside, you should embrace that the Long Meadow is not a private space, and there will likely be other people around watching or walking by your ceremony.
