BROOKLYN BOTANIC BALLROOM
Brooklyn · 11,000 sq ft · Art Deco ballroom with a stage
About this venue
Brooklyn Botanic Ballroom is an 11,000 sq ft Art Deco room for private hosts celebrating a milestone birthday or family reception, for couples planning a Brooklyn wedding, and for nonprofits, planners and producers who want landmark character rather than a blank box. Art Deco columns frame a combined dining and dance area, a built-in stage carries performances, toasts and awards without a temporary build, and a tree-lined outdoor enclosure can be tented for a ceremony, cocktail hour or holding area. The room's original architecture also reads on camera, which is why it is booked for commercial photography and film productions between private events.
This adaptable Art Deco landmark radiates classic Brooklyn character. Its expansive floor accommodates both reception and performance, with deco columns lining the perimeter and a built-in stage anchoring one end. Guests can flow to the tree-lined outdoor enclosure — optionally tented — for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or intermissions. Well suited to weddings, milestone birthdays, galas, receptions, commercial photography, film productions, and live performance.

Good to know

- Is there outdoor space at the ballroom?
- There is a tree-lined outdoor enclosure adjoining the ballroom, with optional tenting. Hosts typically use it for ceremonies, cocktail hour or a weather-covered overflow area.
- How is the 11,000 sq ft laid out for a seated dinner and dancing?
- The room is a single Art Deco ballroom with a combined dining and dance area framed by columns, so seated dinner and dancing happen in the same space rather than in separate rooms.
