We held our Indian wedding reception at The Atrium in Bushwick in October 2022 and I'm so grateful…read morewe did. The three levels of open space allow for any creative vision to come to life. With 3500 square feet and an outdoor patio, the space, views and value are unmatched in NYC. We rented out the entire space (rooftop, main space, outdoor patio and basement) and brought in our own decor, caterer, music and lighting and photography vendors. All the Atrium staff was courteous, professional and worked hard to execute on every little detail we wanted. They worked with our external vendors to make sure everyone would be on the same page for the event. There were no day-of mishaps because the Atrium ensured they thoroughly prepared to handle our guests, vendors and itinerary flawlessly. However, the biggest reason we had an incredible reception was because of Ivana Andreani, a consultant for The Atrium. Ivana went above and beyond to work with us to create our dream reception. She was great at communicating and explaining all of our options, helped us understand pricing, helped us create a weather-related back up plan (which we ended up needing because of Hurricane Ian!). She was incredibly flexible and helped connect us to excellent vendors for staging (Shades of Gray) and bartending services (WSJ Bartending). She thought of every last detail to the point where I felt like she was a wedding planner in her past life! Her experience and advice was invaluable and she was so fun to work with. That may seem trivial but wedding planning is chaotic and stressful. No matter how much help you have from family or a wedding planner, having thoughtful and intelligent people like Ivana in your corner makes a world of difference. From the amount of time she gave us over the 9 month planning period, to us never having to chase her down for help or answers to questions, it was clear she cared about us as more than just clients of the Atrium. She sincerely wanted us to have the best reception possible. She helped us maximize and transform each inch of the space into something more than we could have hoped for. Two months later and our family & friends still speak of how much fun they had at our reception. Every cent and minute spent at The Atrium was well worth it. 1000/10 recommend hosting your events here and try to work with Ivana!

While shooting out in the elements, it was a clean, cool space to break in and let the team relax. Ivana was super attentive and helpful throughout the whole process. I would recommend this space to anyone in the area looking to host an event or use as a logistical space.

In 2020, before COVID, my husband and I paid the deposit for this venue. COVID hit and we were…read moreunable to have our event. We were told we could not get our $500 deposit back because they don't give refunds. However, COVID was unexpected for everyone. They told us it would be good for up to a year but we had no event to have as we were not going to throw a random party. Recently, we were willing to do business with them again but they were not willing to honor or full deposit but half. We will never do business with these greedy people. I get business is business but I believe if you treat people well, you will get more business. My review for 1 star is because the venue is nice.

A friend and I recently hosted a private 30th birthday party for a friend this past weekend and the…read moreentire process working with this venue was seamless. The service here is impeccable. The owner was professional, knowledgeable regarding best ways to utilize the space and helpful with set up and breakdown. He was easily accessible throughout the process; available to answer questions via phone or email at any time. The price was extremely reasonable, providing inclusions not available at normal event spaces. Tables, chairs, sound equipment, warmers, refrigeration, security, all included. There also are additional perks for up-charge that are reasonable as well. We took advantage of the red carpet, uplighting and chiavari chairs. You can tell that deep thought was put into the creation of this space, from the built-in bar to the built-in lines to make draping easier. This was the perfect space to host our event and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff made it extra special. Our guest were wowed as they walked up to the door and floored when they walked in. Make sure you have your next event here!

BRIC Arts Media House is a lowkey hidden gem in Brooklyn. A lot of people know it as an event space…read more(and it's great for that), but what most people don't realize is they offer classes in podcasting, photography, graphic design, sound design, and filmmaking--usually all under $100. I do a weekly podcast, and once you take their intro class, you can rent the studio for about $25/hour. Super easy process. Honestly, it's one of the most affordable options in NYC if you're trying to get into podcasting or any kind of creative media.

Do yourself a favor and hire Colleen (Sugartown Industries) right now. From the first meeting,…read moreColleen was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly well organized. In our introductory call, we spent an hour discussing the desire flow of the event, room acoustics, and musical styles. She also provided us with planning documents to help narrow down song choices and construct a musical timeline for the day. During the reception -- from cocktail hour to our all-out dance party -- every song was spot on. Our guests had an absolute blast. Thank you for making our day so very special!

Thanks due to Wells Crandall of Sugartown Industries - an amazingly talented, down to earth DJ who would likely sooner face plant into your wedding cake than play "The Chicken Dance" at your reception. Wells works to avoid cliche (and let's be real, boring!) songs and aspects of a wedding reception ::cough:: bouquet toss ::cough:: My husband and I met with Wells three times before the wedding to plan the ultimate playlist. These meetings were relaxed and fun, as Wells has a cool demeanor that makes meeting with him seem like an old friend. The day of my wedding I was a bit nervous that the music might be too mod for my family's conservative midwestern ways ... this was not the case! The genius of Wells is that he quickly picks up on the crowd's tastes, and incorporates a variety of music that is both popular and fun. No song is played in duration (unless the crowd is raging), and the variety and lack of slow songs keeps things moving. When the dancing portion of the evening began, my guests flooded the dance floor like there was no tomorrow. I saw some family members bust moves I did not know they were physically capable of! In an unwieldy testament of the awesome music, my guests did the following (amazing!) things: - A double dutch dance with an invisible jumprope - Lots of (literally) ass-busting breakdancing - A human train that weaved throughout The W hotel - Shattered many a glass on the dance floor ( yeah, we know how to party) - Refused to leave! As the clock struck midnight, we demanded one more song ... and our wish was granted. If it were socially acceptable, I would build a tiny musical shrine of old CDs dedicated to the fabulousness that is Sugartown Industries. Instead, I will make due with the playlist Wells provided after the wedding, which I listen to often to remind me of what a great event we had with the help of Sugartown Industries. Wells sent us a copy of the entire playlist from the cocktail hour and rececption. I obviously made an iTunes playlist and listen to it daily as a reminder of Wells' outstanding contributions to our lovely wedding.
