My role as manager includes handling all events here, I am in love with this venue which makes booking events so much easier. It is truly gratifying knowing I am a part of someone's forever memories. We are not your typical traditional wedding venue with long wooden tables and beautiful brick walls but who wants typical anymore?

My wife and I were determined to have our wedding in New York City and researched a bunch of venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Radegast was the last place that we visited, and we put our deposit down the day after our walk through and ended the search.
Sean managed the booking for us, and we felt his attention and thoroughness immediately. This was in stark contrast to the apathy that we felt at other places; almost like we needed to work for any enthusiasm from the venue about booking with them. We felt “wined and dined” by Sean and super confident that he would take the event as seriously as we were. We ended up booking The Bier House space with the buffet food option.
Our intuition was right, Radegast was incredible! Not only were they the most affordable option that we could find in the city for our number of guests, but the space was so beautiful that we didn’t have to spend money on any additional decor. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive and friendly, and all of our guests were really impressed.
Sean and the staff at Radegast “bent over backwards” (a quote from our wedding planner) to make sure that our vision for the day matched reality. They helped solve any problem that came along, and did so with a smile. They were as accommodating on the day of the event as they were in the months leading up to it. The price was exactly what we were quoted, there were not any unexpected add-ons or fees. The event was an absolute blast and the venue had a lot to do with it.
Also the location is incredible. Williamsburg is perfect for everyone; your NYC friends are a subway ride away, your weird conservative relatives from Long Island can park in the parking garage literally across the street and run home right after the event, and anyone unfamiliar with the city will leave the event loving how pretty Brooklyn is.
This is absolutely the best value for a wedding venue in New York City and the positive vibes are through the roof!

There are not enough words to express how positive of an experience working with the Radegast team was. From start to finish, the team made us feel taken care of, prioritized and special. Food and bar team was friendly and attentive. The event coordinator Sean, walked us through the whole experience. From helping us through the planning process, coordinating with vendors, going the extra mile to direct our ceremony and holding down the fort during the actual party so we could really enjoy ourselves. As the brides, we were never left with an empty glass. We left feeling like family.
The food is always fantastic when we dine here. There was no exception when it came to scaling their meals up for hundreds of people. Sean and the team made sure to include our favorite items. We were able to provide some fan favorites, but they also made it so easy to simultaneously have options for those with dietary restrictions in our life.
Truly can't say enough kind words about this team and would recommend them to anyone/everyone. The place is beautiful, the food and drinks are never ending. The perfect mix of refined but not too formal.
Any questions?

We booked Radegast to host our wedding reception because of its reasonable price point and beautiful bar and garden rooms. As residents of Brooklyn for over a decade we thought we knew what Radegast was about: big party atmosphere with excellent drinks. What we came to find out was that it was so much more.
We’ll start with Sean, Radegast’s manager and possibly one of the nicest, most down-to-earth persons we could have hoped to work with; any request we had he was able to accommodate, no stress. It was made apparent to us very early that it would be so simple working with Sean and his team, it really helped alleviate the stress of the preparation period.
The menu planning was easy, most of the appetizers were can’t miss and the main dinner options put a really fun spin on traditional wedding dishes. Everything we landed on was delicious and well received by our guests. The other big consideration was working with a bar and staff the caliber of Radegast - they aren’t limited to certain mixed drinks or a pre-set list of beer because being a top-class bar handling a large crowd is what they do every night.
The night of, all anyone could talk about was the service and the space. All the staff were brilliant: friendly and accommodating keeping our guest well fed and looked after, making everyone feel like regulars that they had known for years. Sean took us under his personal watch and was never far when we needed anything or to even offer a bit of touchup on a suit. A true partner. The space was beautiful, we got lucky enough with the weather to open the garden’s ceiling windows and it just created the most perfect setting to celebrate with everyone we loved.
It was truly a night to remember, one that wouldn’t have been nearly as special without Radegast and their very special staff.

We had our wedding here in 2017 and our guests are STILL talking about how it’s the best wedding they’ve been to. The team was stellar in helping us plan and making the day run super smoothly. Everything was all custom to our tastes. The food was incredible, service was perfect and our photos are one of a kind and beautiful due to the look of the venue. We continue to have birthdays here as a tradition. We love Radegast.

There are no words that could adequately capture how much I loved my wedding at Radegast. It was perfect. We worked with Sean originally, and then Kasia closer to our wedding and both of them made us feel like we were having a $100k wedding. Service was incredible (our guests still talk about it), food was great, and we worked with several other vendors they recommended who were also wonderful.
I was hesitant at first, but Radegast was the perfect venue for us because it was:
1) a great value for the cost (maybe the best in NYC)
2) non-traditional but with all of the aspects you’d want in a traditional venue, like food onsite, excellent staff, bar options, A/V
3) every person we ever met who worked there treated us so well before we even told them we were getting married there
Do yourself a favor and pick Radegast for your next event.

Radegast weddings are the absolute best. My husband and I wanted to have a wedding that felt like a party - Sean delivered and was there even day of for any little request. We had an absolute blast and I think it is such a gem of a place with awesome staff that really made everything the very best it could be.
Also the food was so good!!!
Love Radegast!!!!!

Having our wedding at Radegast was the best decision we made, period. Sean made us feel like family from the very beginning and embraced (and encouraged) our individuality as a couple throughout the process. He was so easy to work with, taking much of the stress that comes with planning a wedding right off our plate. Sean was incredibly accommodating to all our requests to ensure the comfort of our guests as well as any dietary restrictions for the food; everything from “Grandma needs a chair with a cushion and a back” and “Aunt Linda can’t have gluten” was mentioned once and delivered perfectly by Sean. It was an absolute pleasure working with someone like this - while we were in the process people would say to us ugh planning a wedding is so time consuming and stressful right? We never felt this one, Sean was absolutely on top of everything.
All of our guests still can’t stop talking about how much they loved the atmosphere, the building, the staff, and the food, especially the food - every dish was amazing and Sean made sure everyone got plenty of it. Another thing our guests are still mentioning to us is how the bartenders and servers were extremely attentive, kind and fun- dancing behind the bar and sharing in our celebration, the complete opposite of most weddings you attend. But Sean was the real hero of the night delivering a tray of shots to the dance floor, we’ll never forget the cheers the crowd gave him for that move!
We were told by everyone that perfect weddings are a myth, that something always comes up. I guess we busted the myth because we really did have the perfect wedding, and we have Sean and the entire staff at Radegast to thank for it.

We loved every moment of our wedding, and that's all thanks to the team at Radegast. The space is beautiful, the food is delicious, the beer and drinks are amazing, and the entire staff is at the top of their game. They even let us dance on top of the tables at the end of the night! (Table dancing not required, but we highly recommend you try it!)

The Bierhaus at Radegast Hall was perfect for our wedding. It was the exact atmosphere and vibe we wanted our wedding to be, and highly affordable. Sean was amazing to work with! He is professional, a great communicator, and accepted all our requests without hesitation. The bar and wait staff were also very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! Some of our guests have said that was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! Thank you so much, Radegast Hall team, for making our wedding day a success! :)

Top to bottom, Radegast was an absolute dream to work with. From the first meeting we had with Sean, to the day after the wedding when we came to pick up our materials - the team was so kind and helpful. They really helped make our dream day come true. When you choose Radegast, you are not only getting great food, reasonable prices, and a cool setting. You are ensuring your day will be fun and enjoyable for everyone. You're also giving yourself the gift of a venue coordinator (Sean) and venue team who cares and will make planning easier for you.
I can't imagine a better venue to work with. Planning was so easy and the team worked with us and our other vendors so well. The food is absolutely incredible! Our guests will not stop talking about it! We've heard from so many people that this was the most fun wedding they've been to. The place as so much character on its own that we did very little planning for decor. It was a huge savings, but also really created the homey, fun vibe we wanted for our day.
The wait staff and bartenders are so nice and fun - they absolutely added to our day. They took care of our guests by making sure they always had a drink that was well made and exactly what they wanted. One of the waitresses even found me and brought me a plate of hors d'oeurves since I couldn't mingle during cocktail hour. It was so sweet that I didn't even have to ask. One of our guests got a video of the staff dancing during our Hora and it was so nice to know our wedding was a good time for EVERYONE.
If you are looking for a less traditional, fun, NYC wedding Radegast is an incredible choice.

Radegast was the perfect venue to host our rehearsal dinner! The team gave us our own private space with our own bartender. The set up was perfect for our guests to mingle prior to our sit-down dinner. The food was delicious & the vibe was everything we wanted for a rustic/cozy rehearsal dinner. Special shout out to the bartenders for creating amazing specialty cocktails for the event. Highly recommend this venue for any future couples planning an event!

Less than two weeks after our wedding, I still can't believe how incredible, easy and FUN it was--thanks to Radegast and their incredible team. I am convinced all of the stressful, crazy stories I've heard about wedding planning just means those people picked the wrong venue. By picking Radegast we basically guaranteed ourselves great food, drinks and a joyous and fun atmosphere. We had countless guests tell us that it was hands-down the most fun wedding they've ever been to and that we've ruined them for future weddings. Look no further--this is the venue & team you want if you're looking for an awesome, fun and incredible day. Thank you, Radegast team!!

What a dream come true! Sean and the team at Radegast Hall were incredible at planning our perfect wedding reception. Between the food, the atmosphere, the cold drinks, dancing on the tables, our guests and the most amazing people behind the scenes making it one epic night, we could not have handpicked a better venue to celebrate at. I highly recommend having your wedding reception with Radegast, they are one killer team that have created lasting memories for the rest of forever. Hands down the most gorgeous, and most fun wedding yet!

Radegast Hall was the perfect venue for our non-traditional wedding! The Bierhaus was beautiful, charming, and cozy for our 90-person party. From the beginning, the event planner was very responsive, flexible, and always available to answer all of my questions. Radegast also provided so many things, from dinnerware to candles. It was very affordable, but did not lack the tiniest bit in quality! Our guests RAVED about the food and drinks and the service was unbelievable. Several people mentioned to us that their drinks were constantly being filled without them having to lift a finger.
Book Radegast for your wedding if you're looking to hold a fun, easy, non-traditional wedding!

My husband and I had many dates at Radegast and always enjoyed the food and beer so it was a perfect fit for our 90-person reception. We worked with Kara who was extremely helpful with picking a balanced menu and quick to respond to all emails and set up meetings whenever we asked. The party space is separate from the public, more then comfortably sat our guests, band and room to dance. There was no tasting, so much of the menu was a leap of faith, but we did have a beer tasting! Since it is a real beer garden, the tables have communal benches which made mingling really easy. We did rent chairs so a few tables could accommodate guests who could not climb into a bench or needed a seat with a back. We were able to arrange chairs and cake to be delivered without a hitch. The most impressive part of the experience was how warm and professional all the servers, bartenders and Radegast staff treated our guests, it was an extraordinary level of service.
