Wedding Entertainment at Center for Brooklyn History
Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians for Brooklyn Heights' landmark library.
A landmark library deserves a storybook evening
Steps from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, the Center for Brooklyn History occupies an 1881 landmark — crowned by the Othmer Library, a two-story room of carved black-ash woodwork, arched windows and stained glass that ranks among New York’s most beautiful interiors.
Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury New York weddings since 2008. In rooms built for quiet, music is an art of balance: a ceremony that lets the library speak, cocktails in the Great Hall, and a dance floor that celebrates without ever overwhelming the room.
