The Venue
Greenpoint Loft
67 West Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222
Originally a pre-WWII era warehouse, the event space has been restored to its original raw appearance, with exposed high beam ceilings, wood floors, and skylights. The rooftop terrace overlooks the East River and the Manhattan skyline, with a clear view of the Empire State Building.
The Vibe
Inspired by our trips to the Catskill Mountains, we wanted to recreate Lothlórien in Brooklyn. We encourage guests to wear semi-formal attire in neutral colors.
Registry
We’re fortunate to have everything we need. In lieu of gifts, please consider helping us plan our dream honeymoon! Visit our Honeyfund page.

Transportation
Limited Parking: Please Rideshare!
Unfortunately, there are limited street parking options in Brooklyn. We ask that guests who are traveling from out of town to take Uber or Lyft to and from the venue. You can also take a classic cab. Green cabs travel throughout Brooklyn, but all cabs are required to take you to every NYC borough. If you do need to park, MPG Parking is a 5 minute walk to the venue.
NYC Subway
The closest stop to the venue is Greenpoint Av on the G train. It is a 5-7 minute walk. The NYC Subway runs 24 hours per day, but expect longer wait times at night.
Just for Fun: The Ferry!
If you have the opportunity, we suggest hopping on the NYC Ferry to get around the Brooklyn waterfront. It’s a beautiful way to see the skyline. The Greenpoint Loft is a short walk from the Greenpoint ferry stop on the East River route. The ferry will take you to other neighborhoods, like Williamsburg, Dumbo, Hunters Point (Queens) and the Seaport District (Manhattan).
