About this venue

Houston Hall is a rustic wedding venue in New York, New York. Built in 1907, this former FBI parking garage has since been reconstructed as a vintage beer hall and brewery. Exposed brick, wooden beams, hand-painted murals and high ceilings with skylights offer the perfect environment for your wedding day and reception. This venue space features a unique, large and open-spaced floor plan. Houston Hall has the ability to accommodate up to 225 guests comfortably when seated. In addition, we have a spacious, private dressing room that overlooks the hall. This is where you can get ready before your walk down the aisle. Guests will be able to take in the warm, vintage environment of Houston Hall as they walk around the naturally lit, open space.

    We cannot recommend Houston Hall enough as a wedding venue! The staff was excellent-they helped us plan the entire timeline of the day and ensured everything ran smoothly. Christon was so amazing and absolutely nailed it. We got so many compliments from our guests about how attentive the service was, and that they absolutely loved the food! Who doesn’t love comfort food at a wedding!? This venue is so unique and is such a gem in New York City. It held so many guests and had such a great rustic vibe. Thank you Houston Hall for giving us a wedding we will never forget!

    We held our wedding at Houston Hall in October 2023. From first booking, the Houston hall event team Christon & Michelle were involved every step of the way, and had an organized process of keeping us informed. The ones that stick out were menu flexibility and options and the use of an online platform that kept all of our documentation, communication, and billing in one place. When it came to our big day, we and our guests were so pleased with Houston Hall. The food was excellent. Our guests really enjoyed the family style servings, and raved about how delicious the food was. Food came out timely, and Houston was very organized in ensuring all our guest with dietary restrictions were accommodated. Above all, the service was amazing. Both us and our guests were taken care of by friendly and efficient waitstaff and bartenders. This is something our guests still talk about. Also important to note was that our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all in the same location. The staff turned the location seamlessly during our cocktail hour without our guests being interrupted or even noticing. The venue itself was everything we hoped it would be. To enhance our guests experience, we opted to rent chairs (in place of benches) and edison lights. This process was seamless, as Houston had a recommended vendor who they work with frequently to deliver and install. Houston was also very accommodating to help us deliver and store items before the wedding (for example, our table decor, rented florals and cake). By choosing Houston Hall, we had an amazing, memorable, and low stress wedding day. We would highly recommend without hesitation for your wedding, or any other big event.

    Houston Hall is an impressive space in its own right, a grand beer hall with a distinct history and a stunning interior, but it was transformed into a beautiful, otherworldly space for our wedding, one reminiscent of the most ornate and inviting banquet halls. The staff was terrific, making sure everything moved briskly and rearrangements -- for example, taking all the chairs from the ceremony and moving them to the dining tables -- were done effortlessly. The food is exceptional (seriously, the best wedding food we've had!), the drinks are well made, and the vibe is at once funky and hip while also being historical, invoking New York's past. We could not have picked a better place for our wedding, and, were we to do it over, Houston Hall would still be our number one choice.
