I’m sure you’re aware that New York City is FULL of wedding venues that cater to all different styles, vibes, and size of weddings. If you are looking for more intimate venues and you haven’t checked out my earlier post, I talked about some of the coolest intimate wedding venues in the city! So, without further ado, here are 7 of the Most Unique NYC Wedding Venues.

Brooklyn Grange (63 Flushing Ave, Building 3, Suite 1109, Brooklyn, NY)

First up on the list is none other than Brooklyn Grange in (you guessed it) Brooklyn NY. Founded in 2010, this rooftop farm operates the world’s largest rooftop soil farm in NYC. How freaking cool is that! (The environmental science major in me is screaming!!!). Brooklyn Grange’s rooftop is full of seasonal plants and produce. And on top of all of this, they have gorgeous skyline views of Manhattan. Who would have thought you could get married on a farm AND have a NYC skyline view! Availability for this venue ranges from June to mid October, the perfect time for an outdoor wedding. Brooklyn Grange also has a covered patio in case of rain. This venue accommodates up to 100 people and their packages include 5 hours of set up time, 5 hours of event time, and 2 hours for breakdown.
