Private Celebrations & Gatherings with heart & soul
There are moments that deserve to be celebrated simply because they bring people together.
At Maison May, private celebrations are about meaningful connections, effortless hosting, and gathering around wholesome, beautifully prepared food in an intimate, cozy setting that feels like a home.
From milestone birthdays and anniversaries to family reunions, engagement parties, graduations, and intimate dinner soirées, our historic Brooklyn Brownstone offers a refined yet welcoming backdrop for life’s most memorable occasions.
A place to gather & celebrate
Step inside and discover a space that feels both elevated and intimate. Our thoughtfully decorated Brownstone blends original architectural details with warm, European-inspired charm. Multiple rooms across three levels allow for seamless transitions — cocktails in the Garden, a seated dinner in the Main Dining Room, speeches by the fireplace, or dancing beneath sparkling chandeliers.
Whether you’re hosting 20 guests for an elegant dinner or up to 80 for a lively celebration, Maison May adapts beautifully to your vision. The layout allows for:
Intimate seated dinners
Cocktail-style receptions
Milestone birthday celebrations
Anniversary gatherings
Graduation parties
Family celebrations
Creative workshops and presentations
Seasonal holiday parties
Each event feels distinct, yet the atmosphere remains effortlessly cohesive.

Wholesome Food at the Heart of Every Gathering

The result is food that encourages connection — shared plates, lingering conversations, and second helpings that feel like home.
A Private Event Space designed for meaningful Connections
What makes a private gathering unforgettable isn’t just the décor or the menu — it’s the feeling in the room. Our Brownstone’s warm scale naturally brings guests closer together. There are no cavernous ballrooms or impersonal spaces — just inviting rooms filled with light, character, and conversation.
