Lovers Say I Do at this Luxurious, Urban Retreat

By Madeline Scharff

GET ACQUAINTED
1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge sets along the majestic East River Waterfront at Pier 1 on Brooklyn Bridge Park. The modern, ten-story building is an architectural delight of opaque glass, steel and reclaimed wood, surrounded by lush and vibrant greenery. The stunning exterior offers guests a “welcome to our luxurious, jungle getaway” vibe while the interior showcases an equally playful spirit with a mixture of textures that engages the senses, from the living wall in the lobby, to the concrete floor, leather couches, faux-fur throws, woven accent pieces and a signature scent that lingers in the air. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge has curated an exciting playground with its romantic, waterfront location, pleasing onsite offerings and nature-inspired venues for a one-of-a-kind destination wedding.

HERE’S THE SCOOP
While the waterfront location and incredible venue spaces are reason enough to say “I do” at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, the event team goes above and beyond to ensure the wedding weekend (or week!) comes together effortlessly. Let the seasoned experts plan the nuptial details while you and your honey relax poolside with bubbly in hand or stroll Brooklyn’s intriguing neighborhoods and boutique shops. Turn it up a notch with their “elevated extras” that offer – creative experiences put together for unforgettable memories – such as treating your bridesmaids to a private yoga session, a farewell brunch for your guests or an intimate blessing ceremony with just you and your partner. With an array of onsite amenities such as the Bamford Haybarn Spa, rooftop garden and plunge pool, social club and more, there’s ample opportunity for the bride and groom to slip away and enjoy each other one on one.
