Greenpoint Loft

We LOVED our wedding at Greenpoint Loft.
People are still telling me what an amazing, unique and beautiful venue it was. They’ve also done some awesome renovations (gorgeous tiled wall upon entrance, new deck (with one of the best views of Manhattan I’ve ever seen) and beautiful new bathrooms).
The staff was prompt, helpful and very responsive to my many emails.
Warning: You might be turned off by the location. The loft is the 5^th floor of an ugly building on an ugly industrial street. Get over it! The inside is GORGEOUS! Also, parking is not easy and valet is worth it.

I had my wedding there August 8. The space is gorgeous, large, and competitively priced. The loft area above the main space + the outdoor roof deck are great spaces, with the roof deck providing beautiful views of Manhattan, Greenpoint, and Queens. Our guests loved the venue. Chris and his staff were easy to work with. They were incredibly patient and responsive answering the numerous questions I had from our initial tour up to the day of the wedding and after. Definitely recommend.
A few notes: The street the building is still industrial. This was a selling point for me, but I don’t want anyone to be surprised by that and have it negatively affect their impressions. It’s a gorgeous interior on an industrial block.
GPL provides the space and the option to rent tables and chairs from them. They don’t provide catering or other services (there’s a service kitchen available for use) but do have lists of vendors they’ve worked with before.
This is a really great, large space right on the river. Well worth it.

We selected GPL for our wedding reception venue. Overall it was a good experience and we were happy that we found such a great space.
Our guest list ended up being smaller than we anticipated, at ~200. With a party of that size, we shuffled a few things around to make it feel more intimate in a space as large as GPL.
The views are fantastic and our guests enjoyed taking in the skyline at the outdoor area or spending time just inside, in the loft section. The raw space meant our decorator needed only to string a few café lights and the place looked slammin’.
Chris was great to work with. He was responsive and accommodating from start to finish.

Did you know, it’s really hard to find a wedding venue that can host 200 people in the City?
Well, it is.
Being a fussy bride I wanted:
1. A place that was NOT a catering hall.
2. A place that was NOT going to look like every other wedding.
3. A wedding that wasn’t going to cost $ 400,000.
4. A place where our guests were not going to be smooshed together like they were in the rush-​hour 6 train.
Greenpoint loft was perfect… It might have even been too big! But what an amazing night it turned out to be. All our guests had a blast, our caterers were totally OK with the space, and everyone was blown away at the beautiful and unique venue. I would not change anything about it.
The staff at the loft was prompt and helpful with the event, and in the end, it was a smooth process.
My parents and my in laws were a little creeped out with the location in industrial Greenpoint, my mom was very close to breaking down and telling me to have my wedding at a Korean catering/​wedding hall. They bit their tongue and me do what I wanted, and I think everyone is happy about that. Although we did have to hire a valet-​parking service for our guests, but totally worth it.

We’ve had an appointment to view the space for 2 weeks, as we are planning a wedding. The administrator never showed to give us the tour. She had our cell number. Never heard from her. She also didn’t answer her phone. Not a good way to run a business that is based on scheduling and planning details. Beware before you book this space. They may not be very organized.
