Celebrate life at Maison May
Maison May is the brainchild of female entrepreneur and longtime Fort Greene resident Catherine May. Based on her personal values and beliefs she created an ethical and sustainable brand, designed around the wish to nourish and feed people and offer them a space to celebrate life in a meaningful way.
It all began with Maison May Dekalb our beautiful Fort Greene Brownstone which opened it’s doors many years ago. It quickly became a top destination for elegant Brownstone weddings & intimate private events as well as a popular weekend brunch destination.
Around the corner from the Brownstone, you find Maison May Vanderbilt, the newer addition to the Maison May brand. Laid out as a European-style Café it offers all-day breakfast and lunch as well as a variety of objects handpicked by Catherine. At night, this cozy space hosts private dinners.
BROWNSTONE WEDDINGS & PRIVATE EVENTS
At both of its locations, Maison May welcomes groups of between 10 and 110 guests for connection and celebration. Maison May Vanderbilt accommodates up to 32 guests for seated family-style dinners. The Brownstone on Dekalb Avenue can host events for up to 110 guests for Brunch and Dinner.
