Carroll Hall is a rare and unexpected event space featuring a botanic garden in Brooklyn. We love the city but really need more time in nature.
(3)

Whether an eccentric insect or vignette through a wall opening, we revel in curiosity. Ultimately, the garden is the heart of Carroll Hall; the promise of a quiet moment outside is our grounding force. We assume most New Yorkers would agree. Discovery, wonder, and the unexpected are important to us and are strongly represented in the garden and spaces. The plants are an idealized woodland, dressed

-up cousins of what might have grown along the edges of fields and farms past. Birds, bees and butterflies are invited back. The buildings “breathe” with automated natural ventilation. Fountains and water features collect and recycle stormwater for irrigation. A decade of design and construction led to a complex and interwoven series of architectural ideas that coalesced into a rare and unexpected nature retreat in New York City. We welcome you to visit us for a tour, to attend one of our ticketed events, or to discuss how we can customize our converted warehouse and botanic garden for private events, from weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and birthday parties to art exhibits, performances, corporate functions, fundraisers and film shoots. Please email us at [email protected] or send us a DM. Learn more at www.carrollhall.com.

We had the honor of hosting a traditional tea ceremony for Jason and Liz in our treehouse on the day of their wedding.

The tea ceremony is a time-honored tradition that is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and is often an integral part of weddings. This ceremony involves the couple paying respects to their parents, extended family, and other elders by serving them tea as a way of expressing gratitude and seeking their blessings. It is a touching symbol of the coming together of two families and it gives the couple the opportunity to acknowledge the people who helped raise them.

Congratulations Jason and Liz. Thank you for sharing your most special day with us at Carroll Hall.

🌿✨ As Climate Week 2024 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the sustainable practices we embrace every day at Carroll Hall!

Our automated natural ventilation helps us keep our indoor spaces cool and comfortable, reducing the need for energy-intensive air conditioning.

Plus, our sub-ground 5,000-gallon water tank collects and filters water run-off for garden irrigation, ensuring our lush garden stays hydrated using sustainable methods.

In honor of Climate Week, let's talk about how you can host an eco-friendly event at Carroll Hall!

Here are 5 tips for making your celebration more sustainable:

🌿 Choose seasonal, locally sourced flowers – Opt for sustainable inserts in your floral arrangements to reduce waste and support local growers.

🌿 Use compostable or reusable serving ware – When ceramics aren't an option, switch to compostable plates and utensils that break down naturally.

🌿 Donate leftover food – Instead of letting surplus go to waste, partner with local community fridges to share the love (and the food!).

🌿 Opt for energy-efficient lighting – Make use of natural light in our warehouse to minimize your event’s energy footprint.

🌿 Go digital – Reduce paper waste by sending out digital invitations and using apps to manage RSVPs and event details.

Let’s celebrate in style and sustainability! 🌱✨

📸Features reusable silverware, glassware, and napkins as well as compositable bamboo plates.
