Playful Greenpoint Loft Wedding in Brooklyn, NY

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when two fabulous peeps toss tradition out the window and throw a Broadway-infused, candy-fueled rooftop rager instead, then welcome to Madison and Collette’s Greenpoint Loft wedding.

This day was playful, irreverent, delightfully kitschy, and absolutely packed with personality. Think elaborate custom ballgowns, fruity schnapps, Cheez-Its at cocktail hour, and an escape room-style game. Yes, really. 

Why Greenpoint Loft Was the Perfect Venue Choice

Greenpoint Loft is one of my favorite wedding venues in NYC, where industrial-rustic meets airy elegance. It’s a two-story converted warehouse with sky-high ceilings, oversized windows that flood the space with natural light, and one of the best rooftop views of the Manhattan skyline around. 

Greenpoint Loft is perfect for couples who want space to play with design without having to “pretty up” a dark ballroom or fight against venue aesthetics that don’t match their vision.

• Max capacity: 185 guests

• Rooftop for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and skyline vibes

Greenpoint Loft Wedding Cost: It depends on your event and the day of the week. Current pricing is as follows: Mon–Thurs, $6,000+; Fri, $8,000; Sat, $9,500; Sun, $7,000. Always double-check with the venue for specific and up-to-date pricing for your event.

Fun & Unique Details for Their Greenpoint Loft Wedding

Madison and Collette weren’t interested in a stiff, highbrow wedding experience, and thank fuck for that, because what they pulled off instead was infinitely better. Some of my favorite highlights:

• Broadway playbill-style wedding programs (because of course) and a full-on Broadway sing-along that broke out on the dance floor to close the night.
  

• Rooftop schnapps toast to kick off the party! They toasted the ceremony with mini bottles of 99 Brand schnapps. If you’re not familiar with them, they are these nostalgic, slightly chaotic little candy-flavored shots!
  

• They did  “Bodega Bites” for their cocktail hour. Think Cheez-Its, mini cookies, and other classic snack-pack nostalgia. Because who needs caviar when you have nostalgia and carbs?
  

• An interactive escape-room-meets-scavenger-hunt game created by Madison (who is also an event planner). It added a dose of silliness and surprise, keeping the guests laughing and exploring all night.

Let’s Talk About Those Dresses

Madison and Collette wore absolutely showstopping custom ballgowns designed and handmade by their friend (@edouardoromainstudio). They were elaborate, theatrical, and so perfectly them. One gown was even converted into a jumpsuit for the reception, truly a queer fashion dream.

The combined width of their gowns was so glorious that they actually had to practice the aisle walk before the ceremony to make sure they could fit side-by-side. Iconic.

Golden Hour on the Rooftop

We took full advantage of the rooftop at golden hour, which is one of the biggest perks of Greenpoint Loft. Natural light, skyline backdrop, and enough space for toasts, games, and spontaneous dance parties? Yes please.

This wedding is the kind I live for! It was one that doesn’t try to be anyone else’s version of perfect. Madison and Collette brought themselves, their community, and their irreverent, loving energy to the forefront, and the result was pure queer joy.
