Amazing team and service to compliment a spectacular venue. The Box House events team was helpful, flexible, and fair with everything - a combination that is hard to find in the wedding industry! Also, top notch food and menu tasting experience. We highly recommend getting married at The Box House!

My husband an I booked the Box House in May 2019 for our November 2019 wedding, and it was easily the best decision we made. The entire planning process was easy and seamless and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Krista and her team were unbelievable, especially considering our six month time frame. She was all over everything we needed, from set up and guest list questions to venue visits and decor. On the actual day, my husband and I relaxed knowing we were in good hands. The room looked even more stunning than we could have imagined, and the event staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Krista made sure we ran on time without rushing anything, and that my husband and I were well taken care of. We received dozens of compliments on the venue throughout the night, as well as the food which was EXCELLENT. I'd recommend a any wedding or event at the Box House. The space is quite obviously beautiful but the service is even better.

Our wedding at the Box House Hotel was a fantastic day! We cannot say enough good things about the staff and the beautiful venue. When we first came to visit we loved the vibe of the hotel and the view from the roof can't be beat. The venue is a perfect combination of classy and quirky. We had a lot of guests visiting from out of town and they loved being able to stay at the hotel. We even held a brunch the morning after the wedding and it was great to see everyone before they departed. We felt incredibly taken care of in the months of planning leading up to the big day. The whole staff was great to work with and Krista, our coordinator, really went above and beyond. They helped us put together a mostly vegetarian dinner and are super accommodating for all diets. And the food was amazing!! All of our guests raved about how delicious everything was! Everyone talked about how beautiful the evening turned out and we could not have asked for a better experience.

Ah, The Box House Hotel. How do we love thee? Let us count the ways. We got married at TBH on the mot perfect day of our lives, and it's my absolute pleasure to be writing them this review. I'll start with WHY we chose with The Box House. First, from the moment we stepped into the hotel, we felt totally important and cared for - which was a BIG contrast to a lot of the other NYC wedding venues we checked out. From our first time meeting Joe and the team, to the tasting, all the way to the big day, the team supported us at every turn in the road. Aside from the beautiful hotel itself and the gorgeous roof and views, their all-inclusive rate was what sold us. For the uninitiated, in NYC there's this whole thing about renting venues as "raw spaces" and then bringing in eeeverything. For my husband and I with our schedules, this would have been impossible to wrangle - so the fact TBH took care of everything including an on-site DOC, it was a total no-brainer. Next, let's talk about the day... Read more of - Y'all, I am type-A. So is my husband. I am ALSO a stress-nightmare-haver and had taken the ol' "Something always goes wrong!" wedding wisdom to heart, so as far as I was concerned, I was ready to put my perfectionism aside and prepared for everything and anything to go awry. And... everything basically went off without a hitch. We were staying in the penthouse suite which had plenty of room for all 12 bridesmaids + groomsmen to get ready, as well as us, and the only time I saw vendors was when they were dropping in to give us hugs and wish us luck. By the time we got to the roof for photos, everything was basically set up, and it looked BEAUTIFUL. The ceremony was flawless and we could even open the roof, and they made great use of all our foliage and florals and neon signage. Krista our DOC was incredible and had everything taken care of for us, I still shed a slight tear just thinking about it! Also I should add that the team sommelier was VERY patient with my wino Daddy-o, and so attentive and accommodating. We take our wine AND cocktails extremely seriously on both sides of the family, and both were excellent. And the food, ah, the FOOD! People are still talking about it. We rolled the dice and went with duck and branzino and they were a huge hit. As bride and groom, we were also able to eat during our own reception - which is apparently very unusual, hahaha. We were treated like the king and queen all night, our cups were always full and we danced the night away with the stunning views of NYC in the background. I'm so glad we have our photos back so I can relive it all just a little. Thank you thank you thank you to The Box House hotel and team! Same time next year? (Just kidding! Kinda. ;))

The Box House Hotel was the absolute ideal spot to have a New York wedding. From the amazing rooftop space and city views, to the convenience of the location for guests coming from the Tri-State area to flying in from out of town, to the delicious food and attentive team -- we could not have asked for anything better. We were guided through planning our big day from the start, with attention to detail and effort to accommodate any specific requests or needs. Honestly, we cannot say enough about The Box House Hotel, their team, and how much they did to make our wedding day memorable for us and our guests!

After touring what seemed like an endless amount of wedding venues throughout NYC, we decided to go with The Box House Hotel and could not have been happier with our choice. We were treated as if we were the only wedding they had all Summer- all of their responses to our questions were handled quickly, they did everything they could to accomodate our requests, and for the weekend of the actual event, everything went perfectly. Our guests cannot stop raving about what a great time they had at the event- from the views, to the incredible food and wine, everything was perfect. Thank you to the entire staff for everything!

My husband and I got married in July 2019. As native New Yorkers and Greenpoint residents we wanted a venue in NYC that felt special and authentic to us. The Box House Hotel was the perfect place! From the decor of the hotel to the outstanding city views on the rooftop, everything is amazing. Our ceremony took place during sunset and the retractable roof was closed to provide shade, during the reception the roof retracted leaving our guests stunned. The feeling of celebrating at the Box House was unmatched. Joe, Xavier, Krista and the rest of staff are kind, attentive, and helpful. They assisted us with planning everything down to the minute, and day of they were there to guide us through. You can tell that they truly love (and are good at!) what they do. Chef Brian is exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious. We got so many rave reviews from our guests! We loved the food so much we immediately made a reservation for their restaurant Madre (located in the sister hotel Franklin Gu... Read moreest House) to celebrate our one month anniversary! Just like our wedding day they took care of us and treated us like we were family. Additionally, the bartenders at the wedding were great! They were super friendly and personable, it made a huge impression on our guests (as a number of them mentioned this to us after the wedding). You can't go wrong with The Box House Hotel! The beauty of the space along with the grace and professionalism of the staff makes this place so special. Highly recommend!

We had been looking at multiple Brooklyn wedding venues and the second we walked into the Box House Hotel we knew this one the tight one. The NYC views are unmatched from this amazing rooftop. The space is great for a wedding or large event, with a beautiful bar, multiple restrooms, wood floors and the retractible roof is just the cherry on top. Service was impeccable. Food selection had some amazing options (branzino, potato gratin and churros were crowd favorites!) and was way better than any other wedding food we (or any of out guests!) have had before. Everything was perfect and seamless - our guests are still raving about it! Truly an amazing experience, we are so glad we found this jewel. Planning with Xavier and Krista was super easy - they are on top of their game! The bridal suite is breathtaking. Couldn't recommend the Box House Hotel enough. Perfect venue for a NYC wedding.

My husband and I loved, loved, loved our wedding at the Box House Hotel. We got married there this past May after a year of planning with Joe, Xavier and their staff. Joe and Xavier were really wonderful throughout the planning process, answering our questions, giving us multiple walk-throughs of the rooftop and keeping things calm and professional during some heated moments between me and my mother. Xavier did a fantastic job helping me with our timeline, working with our vendors and helping us create a unique ceremony space that included two aisles and a tree watering ceremony. His staff even ironed all of our table runners and put string lights in the planters for us. Joe and his team were great the day before the wedding, helping us move all of our DIY floral centerpieces from our suite to their storage room (trust me this was not an easy task given you had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to our room). At the actual reception, the food and service at the cocktail and dinner wer... Read moree also fantastic. We had a family style dinner with a salad course and entrée course for 175 people. Everyone I’ve spoken to raved about the dinner, the service and the ambience of the rooftop. I think our only issue with working with the Box House was the limited tasting menu provided. We were only allowed one tasting of a handful of dishes. Once we decided on our menu, even if our selected items were different from those at the tasting, we were unable to get a second tasting of our full, final menu. This made us a kind of nervous because ideally you would get to taste your final menu before the wedding. We had to trust that the quality and taste of the dishes on our final menu would be of the same quality of those we had at our tasting. Thankfully, they were. The food, as I said, was delicious, hot, plentiful and delivered to all of our guests in a timely manner. The morning after the wedding Joe and Xavier continued to help us. We hosted brunch at Brooklyn Lantern, the bar and restaurant in the lobby of the hotel. Brunch was delicious and Joe was on hand to hand out leftover wedding cake to our guests while Xavier helped us gather all of our wedding supplies and décor and load it into our cars. Overall, our wedding weekend at the Box House was exactly what we wanted and truly wonderful.

If you want a beautiful venue with phenomenal people to work with, this is your place! Everything from signing the contract, to the tasting, to day of coordination was seamless. We also had multiple "foodies" come up to us and tell us how good the food is. They were not being nice! The wine was also excellent, and if it's something you care about (I did) use the incredible sommelier to help you make your decision.

The Box House Hotel: My husband and I got married here in February of 2019. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From the view, to the decor, to the food, through the staff, everything was exactly what we had hoped for! We knew we wanted a rooftop with a view in Greenpoint(our home turf) and The Box House Hotel fulfilled our wish. From the start, Joe was accommodating and even gave us a last minute showing when my mom and sisters came to town unexpectedly. From there I started working with Xavier, who very politely helped us plan our wedding even though we are procrastinators and not good at planning in advance. Without him I don’t think the wedding would have even happened!! Xavier handled phone calls from our parents and guests like a champ!! Steven was our wedding day coordinator. We had a decent sized bridal party with lots of children and he handled all of them so kindly and professionally. The food was amazing and we had so many guests rave that it was the be... Read morest food they have ever had at a wedding! Most of our family stayed at the Box House and with so many people it was like we had free run of the place. It was the perfect venue and the fact that my family could all stay in the same place and hang out in the days leading up and after made it so much better, making the experience an entire week we will never forget, rather than just one night!! Plus, getting ready in the Honeymoon Suite was key!!! Oh and not to forget, there is a bar available for after the wedding and restaurant for brunch the next morning. So great to have everything at one location! To everyone looking for a wedding venue-I strongly recommend The Box House Hotel. They will figure out exactly what you are looking for, even if you aren’t quite sure what that is, and make it happen!! To The Box House Hotel Staff(Joe, Xavier, Steven, and everyone else who made our day perfect)-we really really appreciate everything you did to help us have the most perfect wedding. You all went over and above expectations and both our family and ourselves were blown away by your hospitality. Thanks again!! I have attached pictures so you can see the venue, food, what it looks like at night and photo ops in the nearby area!!! Pics: BAM Photography

Getting married can be a fun and an stressful day! The staff at The Box House Hotel took away all the stress and left myself, the wedding party and my guest just with the fun. The decor and food was amazing the icing on the cake is the VIEW! All I had to do is show up and the rest was history. Thank you for making my day so special!

Some people say adversity brings out the best in people. Those people aren’t talking about Box House Events. We were originally scheduled to get married in June on Long Island. When we had to cancel, our first venue returned our entire deposit, as our contract required. We then booked the Rooftop with Box House Events for August 16, hoping to fit in our big day before the “second wave.” The Rooftop is gorgeous, has fantastic skyline views, fits many more people than similar NYC venues, and – a key feature – has the option to close the roof and run A/C on a rainy or hot day. We were very happy to have found it. By mid-June, New York City still had not entered Phase 1. On June 12, Box House Events told us that we needed to cancel our wedding and reschedule (and, if we wanted to schedule anytime in the next eight months, immediately pay another ~$12,000 deposit), or forfeit the ~$24,000 deposit we had already put down. The Box House Events acknowledged that, unde... Read morer our contract’s force majeure clause, “if there are any government rules or regulations that prevent us from hosting your wedding on August 16th, all money is refunded – pretty simple.” When we expressed dismay at their rescheduling terms, Box House Events began to insist that they would legally be able to hold events as early as June 22, and so could host our 150+ person wedding. While we were skeptical, we kept our wedding on the calendar for August. Fast-forward another month (one month from our wedding). The situation in New York had improved, but much of the country was a mess, and New York City (understandably) had a number of restrictions in place to prevent a resurgence here: no indoor dining, event spaces remain closed, no gatherings/events greater than 25 people, mandatory social distancing. Concerned about the obvious implications for our 150+ person wedding, we had asked Box House Events to provide documentation (such as their Site Safety Plan, which New York requires reopening businesses to have), so that we could confirm ourselves that our wedding could be safely – and legally – held, like Box House Events was telling us. Box House Events acknowledged that those questions were legitimate. In response, Box House Events insisted that they are not a “large gathering/event venue” (which would be unable to open under New York regulations), despite advertising the Rooftop as an “event space” and a “venue” that can hold up to “350 standing guests” on their website and in promotional materials. They refused to provide their Site Safety Plan. They refused to provide information so we could confirm that, as they claim, they are considered an “outdoor space” under NY Department of Health regulations even with the roof closed and A/C on. And of course, current regulations prevent any gathering in New York City larger than 50 people, inside or outside. Despite all of this, Box House Events continues to insist that they can “legally and safely” hold our 150+ person wedding in 24 days. Why? As Box House Events acknowledged, our contract includes a force majeure clause that says if “government rules[,] restrictions or regulations regarding travel” prevent Box House Events from holding our wedding consistent with our contract, they will have to return our ~$24,000 deposit. They are refusing to do so. As you could expect, this process has been awful. We are lucky to be safe and healthy, but we are not lucky to have picked Box House Events. Box House Events has made what was supposed to be the best day of our life completely miserable. Maybe the venue’s beauty and views alone are worth it. But, if things go wrong, don’t expect them to honor the contract. We are happy to share our entire correspondence with Box House Events. You can email us at lfd.jcc.wedding[at]gmail[dotcom].

We got married in November 2019 and from start to finish everything was wonderful! We cannot say enough amazing things about Krista, Xavier, Joe and the entire Box House staff. From the first time we walked in to the Box House and met with Joe we got great vibes. We had visited a handful of other venues in Brooklyn and queens and had been treated very inconsequentially, like if we didn’t book it was ok because there’d be another couple right behind us to fill a slot. Not at the Box House! Joe took his time with us, fitting us in on a Saturday morning before an event, and walked us through the hotel and event space. We loved that TBH was a one-stop-shop, not a “raw” space, and came with everything, including a day-of coordinator. The Box House staff guided us every step of the way and were always available to answer question and set up meetings whenever we wanted to come in. We brought our parents to view the space and after, had dinner at the BK Lantern (the hotel’s restauran... Read moret) which really sold them, as the food in the Latern was a good representation of what was to come. Even our tasting was a great experience, as they set it up as an intimate dinner for two...with Krista present to hammer our wedding details while we ate. THE FOOD! The food is so freaking excellent. Not a bad bite to be had. The menu is extensive, there’s something to please everyone. And we loved that is was offered family style so the guests got the best of everything and didn’t have to pick between dishes. The number one compliment we keep hearing from our guests was that the food was the best they’d ever had at a wedding. That and the view! The event space itself is very unique and the view is unbeatable. You don’t even have to get crazy with flowers and decor because the view, the string lights and the topiaries already do half the work. Our guests are still raving about the views and some even used photos from our wedding for their holiday cards! The staff at the Box House is incomparable. They are all so professional and helpful, Krista, our coordinator, made sure every last detail was ironed out leading up to the day and they execute with military-like precision. We had someone bring us a tray with two of every canapé immediately after the ceremony ended (which we inhaled) to make sure we actually got to eat before we started circulating. The staff took care of us so well during the wedding, making sure our glasses were never empty and we had any food we wanted. I got rave reviews from our guests about how friendly and accommodating the servers and bartenders were. One of our favorite parts of having our wedding at the Box House was the after party! Since the Box House has the brooklyn Latern in the lobby, our guests seamlessly went from partying on the roof, to partying in the lobby bar! (I find people lose steam when having to change locations- so this was perfect!) Krista had suggested ordering pizzas which was a big hit and the night just went on and onfrom there. Shoutout to Dave the bartender who we met after our first meeting at the box house and continued to visit at the Lantern every time we were at TBH and had to have him at the after party. Dave is the best!! The hotel itself is wonderful and beautifully decorated. Gene was very helpful when it came to booking rooms and even let us have a very late checkout, which we needed. It was so easy and convenient to get ready, get married and go to bed without leaving the grounds. I would recommend the Box House to anyone planning a wedding. It was the best day of my life (so far) and a party our friends and family will talk about for a long time!
