We had our wedding at the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where Union Square Events is the exclusive caterer, and working with Anderson and Shelby was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our very first conversation, they patiently answered all of our many questions and were so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Nothing felt like too much to ask. The food was a true highlight of our wedding! Our guests could not stop raving about it, especially the passed canapes during cocktail hour, which were as fun and creative as they were delicious. So many people told us it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had. Thanks to Anderson, Shelby, and the entire Union Square Events team, our wedding day was amazing and beautiful. We could not recommend them more highly!
My daughter’s wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Atrium last weekend was absolute perfection! Even though the pouring rain moved the ceremony indoors, I can’t imagine how it could have been any lovelier outdoors. I loved that once we realized wedding day rain was inevitable, we didn’t have to worry, because we knew the professionals at Union Square events had a great game plan. The way their team was able to shift cocktail hour into the hallway and use a moveable wall to provide a backdrop to the ceremony, while allowing the dining tables to be preset yet hidden, was really impressive. I was really glad that we had opted to bring in some dramatic lighting and disco ball decor (provided by Universal Light and Sound) to make the space cozier and prettier, as the Atrium can look a little bare with only overhead lighting. We got so many compliments on all the food and beverages, from the passed apps, to the custom cocktails to the perfectly prepared beef entrees. Everything was much better than the tasting night had led us to expect, which makes sense when you consider the number of dishes they are preparing for the tasting night. Everything we tried that night was fine, but I thought the food might not be a highlight of the wedding - what a wonderful surprise to be so wrong about that! I also appreciated the bar staff’s willingness to use the custom cocktail stirrers I had made of the bride’s and groom’s heads - they were a huge hit with our guests and a fun surprise for the couple! I really appreciated that there was a dedicated attendant for the bride and groom in their dressing room, who made sure they each got to try all the canapes and brought them water, champagne, and even a black tea when the bride needed a little caffeine. Every single staff member we interacted with was professional, kind, and extremely good at their jobs. Thank you all for making our daughter’s wedding an epic celebration!
We had the perfect wedding at the Palm House, thanks to the team at Union Square Events. From chocolate favors at the initial walkthrough to having a personal attendant for champagne refills and canapes the day of, the team went above and beyond to make every touchpoint special. They answered all of our questions in a timely manner, patiently working through the smallest of details with us in a 60-email-long thread over multiple months. We got nothing but compliments on the quality and variety of the food, as well as the white glove service.
