Bat Haus

Bat Haus

This is one of the most unique small wedding venues in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood. An industrial, sparse communal working space, Bat Haus is great for intimate wedding parties to design an experience that feels personal and appropriate for the size of the space. There’s also a fenced and shaded outdoor space. You can accommodate up to 120 wedding guests here, but creative table arrangements and space design techniques make Bat Haus just as perfect for a party of 25, 50, or 75 guests, as well. Soaring ceilings, exposed brick walls, and cement floors may sound ultra-cool, but the warm lighting — both natural and via string fixtures —definitely creates a cozy atmosphere at Bat Haus.
