Carroll Hall has preferred vendors but you are welcome to bring in your own. New vendors must sign a contract with Carroll Hall and carry their own insurance.
You are required to have a professional day-of coordinator or a professional wedding planner who is onsite for your event.
The rental contract goes into full detail but generally, we require clearing and storing all trash, removing all decorations, putting tables and chairs back, ensuring that your vendors have taken everything with them and that you leave Carroll Hall broom clean.
We do not allow smoking or vaping on Carroll Hall property including the garden. Smoking is allowed on the street, 15 feet from the door.
All amplified music in the garden must end by 10 pm on Friday and Saturday nights, and 9 pm on all other nights. We recommend that you have your dance party in the Warehouse. Where Monday is a holiday, Saturday restrictions apply to Sunday.

About Carroll Hall
-- Carroll Hall Named 2025 "Best of Brooklyn" Wedding Reception Site --
Carroll Hall is a rare and unexpected event space featuring a botanic garden in Brooklyn. Whether an eccentric insect or vignette through a wall opening, we revel in curiosity. Ultimately, the garden is the heart of Carroll Hall; the promise of a quiet moment outside is our grounding force.
We love the city but really need more time in nature. We assume most New Yorkers would agree. Discovery, wonder, and the unexpected are important to us and are strongly represented in the garden and spaces. The plants are an idealized woodland, dressed-up cousins of what might have grown along the edges of fields and farms past. Birds, bees and butterflies are invited back. The buildings “breathe” with automated natural ventilation. Fountains and water features collect and recycle stormwater for irrigation. A decade of design and construction led to a complex and interwoven series of architectural ideas that coalesced into a rare and unexpected nature retreat in New York City.
We welcome you to visit us for a tour, to attend one of our ticketed events, or to discuss how we can customize our converted warehouse and botanic garden for private events, from weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and birthday parties to art exhibits, performances, corporate functions, fundraisers and film shoots.
