2026 Pride Grows in Brooklyn
Curating LGBTQ+ intimate weddings with top-tier queer & queer-affirming vendors
From the very beginning, Carroll Hall has stood for inclusivity, creativity, and connection. We believe that love is love, and that every couple deserves to feel fully seen, respected, and celebrated. Our botanical garden and event space in Brooklyn was designed to foster beauty, joy, and belonging—for everyone who walks through our doors.
We recognize the responsibility we have not just to offer a stunning venue, but to make it a safe space—one where LGBTQ+ couples and guests can gather, celebrate, and feel at home.
This is why we are THRILLED to open our doors to the 2026 Pride Grows in Brooklyn (PGIB) event as the host venue.
