Shell’s Loft Fort Greene has teamed up with the incredible Marlow Events for all of your catering needs. Our teams work together to produce a one-of-a-kind event experience for every client.

Shell’s Loft has built a unique space in the heart of Brooklyn—a truly special backdrop for those looking for more than just a traditional event space. The lofts are designed to feel like a serene escape from the bustling city.

As our partners, the Marlow Events team oversees many points of production for your wedding from food and drinks to rentals and staffing. Their incredible team will work with you and your event planner to bring your vision to life.


  • For the full venue rental, we can host up to 150 guests. The rental fee is based on the date of the event and the time of year. The rental is subject to a 5% administrative fee.

  • The event duration will be previously agreed upon and is not flexible on the day of the event.

  • Yes, per our contract terms, you would be responsible for any major damage to the space. We hold a $2000 refundable damages and overtime deposit, returned to you following your event. If any damages or overtime occur, the charge will be deducted from deposit. A COI (certificate of insurance) is required from client and client's vendors.

  • Yes, all vendors need to provide a COI.

  • With your proposal from Marlow Events, we’ll include a labor estimate. Labor costs are determined based on the number of guests, the amount of setup and breakdown time required, and the complexity of the menu and service style, and will be finalized before your event. Our team will always include an event captain to manage the venue and catering on the day of the event.

  • Depending on your needs, furniture, serving ware, dinnerware, cutlery, and glassware will be brought in for your event. As a requirement, the Marlow Events team will coordinate all rentals on your behalf with our vendor, Broadway Party Rentals. With your Marlow Events proposal, we’ll include an estimate for the basic rentals needed to execute your event. You may visit the Broadway Party Rentals showroom or browse their website if you'd like to pick out which specific tabletop pieces, chairs, linens, etc. you'd like to use based on your overall decor plans. You may contact any other specialty rental vendors directly. We do have some existing small decorative tables, sofas, and benches in-house that are already available for your event.

  • The Marlow Events staff will receive the rental delivery and set up the furniture and set the table a few hours before the event start time. You can decorate the space as you’d like, as well as the tables after our staff sets them up.

  • The Marlow Events staff will break down all rentals and pack them to be ready for pickup. Our staff takes care of the pickup coordination. You are responsible for breaking down any decorations on the same night.

  • Marlow Events provides all beverage services, so we are not able to have guests bring in their own liquor. We provide all food service. If there is an outside catering request for a special dish or dessert Marlow is happy to consider this on a case by case basis. They would apply a dessert plating fee of $5 per person for any outside dessert, that may be waived if you’re already purchasing dessert service from Marlow.

  • We can host ceremonies prior to a fully seated dinner or a fully reception style wedding.

  • Yes!

  • The rental fee includes access to our private bridal suite. There are vanity mirrors, a small private changing room, and a private seating lounge.

  • Yes!

  • We do not provide a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. You will work with the Marlow Events operations manager, who handles venue logistics, catering, and rentals. They will assist you in creating a floor plan and timeline for your event. We highly recommend hiring an additional wedding planner or day-of coordinator to assist in other wedding design and detail planning, and to serve as the point of contact for your guests and our staff.

  • Street parking is readily available in the neighborhood.

  • We do not provide florals or additional decoration than what is already in the space. We can recommend vendors if you would like, or you could arrange your own flowers on the day of the event. Balloons and confetti are not allowed in the venue.

  • Marlow Events is our exclusive caterer and handles all food & beverage, staffing, and basic rentals in-house. Please reach out for our recommended vendors list for florists, photographers, and more.

  • We host events until 12:00 AM. If you are looking to extend your end time past midnight please let us know and we can discuss options to extend later.
