    Venue notes

    Wedding rental rates range from $3,000 for ceremonies to $10,000 for use of the entire building. These rates are for space rental only and do not include catering or outside furniture rentals. Use of the Fransioli Lobby and the outdoor patio is included with all room rental packages.

    Center for Brooklyn History is a BYOB venue and we do not charge a venue corkage fee, so you can purchase your own alcohol at cost to be served by your approved caterer. All events serving alcohol must obtain the appropriate license from the New York State Liquor Authority. You can also bring in your own cake and dessert.
