Hey there, NYC lovebirds! 🗽💍
Planning a Brooklyn wedding is an absolute vibe—from the industrial-chic lofts of Williamsburg to the classic elegance of South Brooklyn. But as any New Yorker knows, the city moves fast, and the venue landscape just shifted.
As your go-to Brooklyn officiant, I’m here to keep your ceremony stress-free and your deposit safe. We’ve seen a wave of recent closures this month that might impact your "I Do" plans. If you were eyeing any of the following spots, it’s time to pivot:
The Recent "Closed" List (As of March 2026)
Several staples in the Brooklyn event scene have recently shuttered their doors:
Towne House Caterers (17th Ave)
Micali Terrace (86th Street)
Paradise Catering (Avenue U)
Rex Manor Catering Hall (60th St)
Lorraine's Place (Howard Ave)
All Thingz Venue (Fulton St)
TKW (Williamsburg)
Club Lambda (Grand Street)
Pure Bistro (Park Slope)
⚠️ RED ALERT: Don’t Get Ghosted by Scammers
In the wake of these closures, we’ve seen a rise in some pretty un-cool behavior. Scammers often take advantage of the "limbo" period when a venue has closed but its website or social media still looks active.
Watch out for these Red Flags:
The "Ghost" Deposit: Scammers may pose as management for these closed locations, claiming they are "reopening soon" or taking "limited bookings" to snag your deposit.
The Shady Referral: Be wary of individuals claiming to be "affiliated" with these closed venues who try to redirect you to another space for a "finder's fee."
Too Good To Be True: If you find a listing for one of these venues at a massive discount, keep walking.
Pro-Tip: Always visit a venue in person, check for a valid certificate of occupancy, and never send a deposit via Zelle or Venmo to someone you haven’t met face-to-face inside an operational office.
Let’s Find Your Perfect "Plan B"
If your dream venue was on this list, don't panic! Brooklyn is resilient, and there are still incredible hidden gems waiting for us to perform your ceremony. Whether you want a rooftop with a skyline view or an intimate garden tucked away in Bushwick, we will find the spot that fits your energy.
Ready to make it official? Don't let venue drama steal your joy. As your officiant, I’m here to help you navigate the chaos and keep the focus on what really matters: your story, your love, and one hell of a party.
Stay savvy, Brooklyn! 🥂✨
