FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancellations 30+ days in advance receive a full refund. Cancellations 7-30 days in advance receive 50% refund. Less than 7 days notice is non-refundable. We're flexible for emergencies—just communicate with us.
Is catering allowed?
Yes! You can bring your own catering or we can recommend local vendors. The space has a kitchen area with prep islands, industrial fridge, and microwave for staging food and beverages.
Is alcohol allowed?
BYOB is available upon request for private events and subject to approval at Dreamland Brooklyn's discretion. If approved: corkage fee applies, licensed insured bartender required, event liability insurance required (naming Dreamland Brooklyn as additional insured), and events must be 21+. Beer, wine, and champagne permitted; hard liquor requires additional approval. Contact us to discuss your event and submit a BYOB request.
What about parking?
Street parking is available and easier than most DUMBO locations. We also have loading dock access for equipment and supplies. The A/C/F trains (York St and High St stations) are nearby.
Do you offer nonprofit discounts?
Yes! Up to 20% off base rental for nonprofits and community organizations. Additional consideration for mission-aligned events supporting economic empowerment, Black entrepreneurship, and community development. Discount applies to base space rental only, not add-ons.
Can I rent just part of the space?
Yes! Our 4 Renaissance Rooms (~2,800–3,300 sq ft each) have retractable walls—rent 1, 2, 3, or all 4 depending on your needs. We also have 2 VIP Premium private offices and the Main Hall with kitchen area. Mix and match to fit your event or ongoing space needs.
Do you offer weekly or monthly rentals?
Absolutely. We work with organizations needing recurring office space, artists wanting monthly studio residencies, and teams needing weekly meeting rooms. Long-term rates are significantly discounted—reach out and we'll build a custom package.
Is security required?
Yes, bonded security is required for all rentals—no exceptions. Our venue shares a building with Ember Charter School, so security is mandatory for access control and liability purposes. You can either book through our preferred bonded security provider ($45/hr per guard, 4-hour minimum) or arrange your own. If using your own security, you must provide proof of bonded status before your rental date.
What are the ceiling heights?
The main spaces feature 13-ft ceilings, with some sections at 10–11 ft. Great for installations, projection mapping, performances, and creating dramatic event environments.
