What makes Maison May unique is its versatility. The same space can feel romantic and candlelit in the evening, bright and celebratory for a daytime shower, or polished and welcoming for a rehearsal dinner.
At Maison May, hosting a private event means having access to a thoughtfully designed Brownstone that flows beautifully from room to room.
Our sunlit Parlor Floor offers soaring ceilings, original architectural details, and an open layout ideal for ceremonies, seated dinners, or cocktail-style gatherings. Adjacent rooms create natural transitions for guest arrival, intimate conversations, or styled food and bar stations.
The Garden provides a charming outdoor extension of our cozy Main Dining Room during warmer months. It allows hosts to celebrate al fresco or create a relaxed indoor – outdoor flow for casual cocktail events.
Located in the heart of Brooklyn, Maison May blends historic character with flexible spaces that can be tailored to everything from elegant rehearsals and elopements to showers and milestone celebrations — all within one cohesive, welcoming setting.
