Bubby's Brooklyn

We LOVED Bubby's, and so did our guests! Great food, great atmosphere. JoJo and Carlos were so helpful and responsive, reassuring me during the stressful planning process. During the week of my wedding, they were so easygoing and helped with all of our last-minute needs. They complied with all of our little requests -- I didn't have to worry about a thing during my reception.

I don't have enough words to express how happy we were with Bubby's and everyone that worked there. JoJo, the event coordinator, responds to emails in under 24 hours (usually) and is nothing short of sweet, friendly, and accommodating. Carlos, the head manager, took care of us from the first time we walked in the door in February (he saw us looking at the catering menu before we chose our dinner entrees and offered us a tour) until the very last guest left the night of our wedding. Since JoJo had to have foot surgery last month, Carlos took the reigns that night and boy, did he deliver. He made sure we were fed, kept us on schedule, and moved the reception along smoothly and seamlessly. I was a tiny bit nervous to find out JoJo wouldn't be coordinating for our wedding, but he went above and beyond. The guests are not only raving about the food (which was freaking awesome!), the views, and the space - but also about the service. This was my absolute dream spot and it surpassed all expectations. Bubby's treats you and your guests like family.

Bubby's was absolutely fantastic. Our reception was lovely but the level of service they provided made it really special. JoJo made the planning process easy and Carlos couldn't have taken better care of our friends and family.

Overall, we were very happy with Bubby's. The space is gorgeous and you can't beat the view, which our guests raved about. We loved the food (we did the fried chicken and pulled pork as our entrees) and the photo booth was a huge plus. Our complaints are pretty minor: they had to be nudged to put the cake topper on the cake and sometimes, JoJo was slow to respond to emails. Overall, though, it was a great venue, especially for the price.

Bubby's was an absolutely beautiful place to have our wedding. Despite the downpour outside, it was warm and cozy and the views of Manhattan are spectacular. We got so many compliments on the food and the service. Carlos did an incredible job. I would definitely recommend this venue to other bride's looking for an unusual/special place to get married in New York City.

Bubby's has a great space in DUMBO right on the water that fit our 200 wedding guests almost perfectly (three tables on the upper level). It was the different, but NYC, vibe that we wanted for our laid back wedding. We got 4 hours of great food and service. All of the waiters were professional and attentive to our guests.Carlos, the event manager, was GREAT! Kept everything rolling on time and everyone happy. He coordinated with our DJ on timing of the meals and had everyone's food out in 10 mins. Jojo, who manages special events was nice to work with, she doesn't always respond right away, but I can only imagine that's because they are in such demand.For cost, we took the lowest package of food and beverages that they had and came up with just a little over $100 pp. We did a tasting about a month before and were treated to a great night out. We decided to do pie for dessert and they tiered the pie to make them look like cake, something that was very important for my family. Also, they have a great selection of beer on tap.Everyone was so nice to deal with that I don't hesitate recommending them. The staff packed up leftovers for the few people that asked, including dessert. They also called cabs for people to get home.Also, if you have kids coming to your wedding, they have video games in the back and for big kids, a photo booth machine! so fun.

We chose Bubby's for our wedding reception after an exhaustive search, and we're very glad we had it there. Its being a restaurant meant the food, linens, chairs, silverware, etc., was under control from the get-go and out of our hands, which was great after talking with crazy caterers. The food was delicious, the location (with the bridges!) was picture-perfect, and the staff was incredibly helpful with the details of table runners, flowers, and the other various supplies we needed to have in place on the big day. We at times had to wait a bit for responses to our emails, but I blame that on its being wedding season; everything got done in good time and we never felt like we were hanging. They let us put up our own decorations and even make some changes in the standard bar items; all in all, we loved Bubby's and the casual elegance it brought to our wedding.

Bubby's was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. The food was excellent (not "wedding food" - more like restaurant food) and the space cannot be beat. Our guests, many of whom were from out of town, were enthralled by the views of the city, the water and the bridges.Choosing Bubby's was the best decision I made.

Bubby's is a beautiful, classy, unique venue. The view alone is worth the price - it's absolutely breathtaking. People continue to compliment us on the food, the space and the ambiance of the place. Jojo is hard to get a hold of, and it's really frustrating not to have a way to contact her except via email. That being said, somehow everything turned out perfect. Carlos (who is the coordinator the night of the events) is beyond amazing...professional, kind, thoughtful and really responsive and fun to work with. He really made our wedding worry-free and really fun. He also encouraged us to order the peanut butter chocolate pie, which is to die for. The rules are strict, and there isn't much room for flexibility on timing, scheduling and the like. But, if you get past those things...it's really a wonderful place to host a party.I am really glad we had our wedding at Bubby's.
