About Brooklyn

Brooklyn is quintessential New York. For non-natives, it is one of the boroughs of New York City and so happens to be the most populous borough in the state. The heritage of Brooklyn comes from the Dutch as far back as the 1600s and it shares a border with the boroughs of Queens and Long Island, two other famous New York boroughs.

Because of its population, Brooklyn can be considered densely populated but has several attractions and venues that locals and tourists frequent every year. Also because of its size, Brooklyn has become something of a melting pot, with somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 languages and a 40% foreign-born population.

Event Options in Brooklyn

After you’ve found the perfect event space, you still need to think about several things once you’re holding the event. Don’t worry though, even with everything that goes into planning an event, there are still plenty of options in Brooklyn.

• Photography/Video

You’ll probably want some sort of record of the event later. Either for your own amusement or to show others or posterity. For corporate events, having a video is a good training tool. For other more special events, you may just want a few photos to remember or a video of things that took place. Either way, hiring a professional is much better than having your uncle Jim hold the camera all night long.

• Hotels

If you’ve got guests for your event coming in from out of town, whether they’re friends, relatives, or corporate business people, you want to make sure that nearby the event space there are places for them to stay. You’ll also want to make sure you check out the options that are available so that you give your guests something that is of a decent quality.

• Catering

Food and drink are a must for any event, no matter how long or short. People need to eat, so you might as well plan ahead. Some event venues offer in-house catering services. Other times you can have food brought in from an outside caterer. If neither of these options is available though, you’ll want to make sure there are plenty of eateries nearby the event space to satisfy the palette of all your event attendees.

• Transportation

Getting to and from the venue and other amenities can be troublesome, especially for guests that are from out of town. Making sure you have access to transportation options that are close by will help alleviate the strain on some of your guests while they go from the event to things like entertainment or hotels.
