Location, location...
When we started looking for a spot, we only knew 3 things about what we wanted - it had to be in Brooklyn, it had to allow us to have outdoor grilling, and it had to be reasonably priced. Luckily or unluckily, these criteria narrowed down our choices to 3 places: the Tobacco Warehouse in dumbo, a loft with rooftop access in Williamsburg, and the Brooklyn Waterfront Museum in Red Hook. We went with the "museum" - it's a renovated barge from 1918 that used to transport coffee across the Hudson. The barge is docked in the NYC harbour now with views of the Verrazano, the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. The ceremony is going to be at 7pm; the sun will go down around 8:30pm so guests should get some great views...
There is a garden right next to the barge that we'll use for the ceremony (it looks so bleak in these pics but come spring, the garden will be filled with lots of flowers):

Then we'll put a tent down the pier for dinner:
And finally cupcakes and dancing on the barge:

That is AWESOME—I'm in love with the tent-down-the-pier concept. So cool.
What a one of kind wedding you will have, amareluz! I wish I had the creative vision you obviously possess. A tent on the pier, dancing on a barge, all with amazing views! Can't wait to see the pics someday!
I second what lowey said. :) I thought I knew of every place in NYC (and Long Island) to get married, but you found a fun, unique, beautiful spot I never heard of! The views are going to be amazing.
aw thanks guys! You really made my day! My Dad was a little iffy about it so it's great to get some positive feedback....
I really like the pier. Actually I like the whole concept of the different spots for each part of the event. The barge most especially. Can't wait to see pics when its all put together on the big day.
