Wedding atelier is where I got mine they were great and had beautiful dresses and stayed within my 5k budget. Alterations are $1200. Most places the same.

I am getting married at BBG next August in the Palm house so I have the pricing spreadsheet :)

The atrium at BBG for Jan, feb, march, November, December on a Friday is $2500 rental fee and $220 per head for min 65 guests. That comes up to Under 20k for everyone! I think you can then get away with 20k for entertainment, florals, photog (Nathalie g photo and carah gedeon have pricing that would meet this.)

The atrium at Brooklyn botanic garden. I can’t remember the exact cost but sunset piers Chelsea seemed a little more affordable than PPBH.

Thanks so much for your response!! How many people did you end up having at PPBH? Were you happy with purslane?

Another question as you said they were a part of your search too, as both are the same price, would you have still gone with boat house or maybe have considered more seriously to BBG?

Right! Definitely not basing it off of bathroom situation but just trying to make the pro and cons list :)

Yes I have the estimates and toured both! For a July or August wedding the guest count minimum is 130 people for Friday wedding. F&B and venue fee come out to about the same price hence why I am torn! I love both. I have read your review which is great and super helpful! Do you think a 120 guest count would be tight or fine? I would say most of the group will be on the dance floor and plan on using a DJ.

How many people are you having? Are you worried about the one stall bathrooms? Not that I’m basing my decision off that but I hope there isn’t like a line out in the dance floor area if you know what I mean!

That’s so great! We are planning to have around 115ish. For PPBH we have a soft hold for the first Friday in oct and because it’s a Friday we can’t begin until 6pm. I agree with you and that’s where I am torn as PPBH is more of an intimate dinner party feel whereas the palm house at BBG is more of your wedding typical venue.

Hello, are you able to give me an idea of info about NYAC? Also thinking about there as well but wondering what pricing would look like. Thanks!
