Total capacity ranges from 60 to 160 seated guests, depending on which spaces you use. The Neptune Room is ideal for 80 to 100 and maxes out around 120. If you are on the larger end, the events team can configure the private dining room and courtyard to expand capacity. Honestly, this venue is at its best when it is full but not overflowing–that sweet spot of 80 to 120 where every corner feels alive.
Yes. I do not say that lightly. Executive Chef Asi Maman runs a Michelin Bib Gourmand kitchen, and the wedding menu is family-style Mediterranean and Middle Eastern–think platters of labne and griddle bread, smoked lamb shawarma, whole roasted fish, crispy yams with Persian lime. This is not banquet food dressed up to look fancy. It is restaurant food served at a wedding, and your guests will taste the difference. Sara Conklin’s years with the Cipriani group show in the service standards.
The courtyard garden with its retractable roof is perfect for ceremonies. In good weather with the roof open, it is one of the prettiest ceremony settings in Brooklyn. In colder months, the retractable roof and heating system mean you still get that open, airy feeling without anyone freezing. I would recommend talking to the events team about backup plans for unexpected weather, but the retractable roof makes this less of a concern than most outdoor spaces.
Greenpoint is not the most convenient neighborhood for every guest, and that is a valid consideration. The G train stops at Greenpoint Avenue, which is a walk from the venue. Rideshare is the most common option–about 15 to 20 minutes from Manhattan depending on traffic. Most couples arrange shuttle service or include rideshare info on their invitations. Once your guests are there, nobody leaves early. The neighborhood itself has become a destination. But if half your guest list is coming from New Jersey and expects to park easily, factor that into your planning.
The original cobblestone floors are beautiful but worth noting for guests with mobility concerns. I would recommend reaching out to the events team directly to discuss specific accessibility needs and what accommodations are available. This is one of those things where honesty matters more than a polished answer.
Yes–Glasserie works with outside vendors for entertainment. We coordinate directly with their events team on load-in logistics, setup timing, power requirements, and sound levels. The space has some acoustic considerations (brick walls, hard floors, high ceilings), and having an entertainment team that understands how to work in this kind of room makes a real difference.
Glasserie operates on an all-inclusive model: food, beverage, decor basics, rentals, and staffing are bundled. You are not piecing together separate catering, rental, and staffing contracts. This simplifies planning significantly and means fewer moving parts to coordinate. For specifics on what is included at each price point, contact the events team at glasserieevents.com.
Absolutely, and I tell every couple this. Make a reservation through Resy, order generously, and experience the food and the space in person. Photos and venue tours are useful, but sitting at the bar with a Persian Gold cocktail while plates of shawarma and labne come out–that is when you know if this is your place. And if it is not? You still had an incredible dinner in Greenpoint.
