Booking Tips for Wedding & Event Guests

  • Book early for weekend dates. Brooklyn hotel inventory is limited compared to Manhattan, and rooms near a popular venue neighborhood can sell out for peak wedding season weekends.
  • Ask about room blocks. Many hotels will hold a block of rooms at a discounted rate for wedding or event guests if you contact them a few months out.
  • Consider a mix of price points. Listing one budget-friendly option alongside a boutique pick gives guests flexibility based on their own travel budget.
  • Share transit info alongside hotel info. 501 Union is four subway stops from Lower Manhattan via the F/G to Carroll Street or the R to Union Street.
