Events + Weddings
Weddings and private events for up to 100 guests
Aurora has been part of Williamsburg since 2003. Our space works for an intimate dinner, a company event, a birthday or a wedding, and our events team plans each one around your group.
The spaces
Book the whole restaurant, reserve the patio on its own, or bring a smaller group for a set menu.
The enclosed patio
Seats up to 50
Our vined patio is one of the most intimate places in the city to hold an event. It’s open to the air in the warmer months and enclosed when it gets cold, so it works all year.
The patio can be reserved on its own, without a full restaurant buyout.
The whole restaurant
Up to 80 seated, 100 for a reception
Book all of Aurora for a seated lunch, brunch or dinner for up to 80 guests, or a cocktail reception with passed hors d’oeuvres and lighter fare for up to 100.
Group dining
Up to 25 guests
For smaller gatherings we offer prix-fixe dining for groups of up to 25, an easy way to celebrate with friends, family or colleagues over a set menu.
Weddings
We’re one of Brooklyn’s most popular places for medium-sized weddings, and we host more than 40 indoor and outdoor weddings each year.
Weddings of up to 90 guests can hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, seated dinner and dancing all in one place. Ceremonies take place in our covered garden, which is temperature-controlled and open year-round in any weather.
Ceremony
Vows in the covered garden, under the ivy and hanging lamps.
Cocktail hour
Drinks and passed hors d’oeuvres before dinner.
Dinner
A seated dinner from our kitchen, with a menu planned with you.
Dancing
Dancing after dinner, without moving to another venue.
The food
Our cooking draws on Piedmont, the home region of founding chef Riccardo Buitoni.
Bread, pasta, sausages, gelato and desserts are made on the premises. Our cheeses are imported from Italy, and we source locally grown organic produce and hormone and antibiotic free meats and fish wherever we can.
Event menus are planned with our team, from passed hors d’oeuvres for a reception to a seated dinner with several courses.
