On Sept. 19 the Prospect Park Alliance will celebrate the
renovation of one of its wedding venues: the Picnic House.
After 14 months and $3 million of improvements to the 77-year-old,
two-story brick building’s roof, floor, lighting, ventilation
system, bathrooms, landscape and catering facilities, the
Alliance invites all of those brides and grooms who have been
married at the site to bring their photos, their favorite
wedding songs and their wedding traditions to a ribbon cutting
and reception at noon in the Picnic House, located behind
Litchfield Villa, across the Park Drive, on a knoll overlooking
the Long Meadow.
“It’s the perfect-sized space that can be used in
any number of interesting ways,” explained Prospect Park
Administrator Tupper Thomas of the site which accommodates
175 guests for a seated dinner and dancing.
The
cost to rent the Picnic House begins at $4,000 for an 8-hour
block which includes tables, chairs, upright piano and security;
catering fees are additional and caterers must be chosen from
the Alliance’s list of approved businesses. For information
about renting the house, visit “Event Planning”
on the Web site www.prospectpark.org
or call (718) 287-6215. To RSVP to the reception and share
your Picnic House wedding memories and photos, e-mail epatron@
prospectpark.org.
