Real Wedding at Bat Haus: Hayley & Richard, June 2026
Some couples wait months for their wedding day. Hayley and Richard waited an extra year — their original date had to be postponed — and when June 21 finally came, they filled Bat Haus with the kind of joy that only comes from a celebration that's been a long time coming.
Hayley owns a pet store in Ridgewood, Queens, and she is exactly the kind of person who can do everything — a powerhouse business owner with a vision for her day and the hands to build it. That's why they chose Bat Haus: they fell in love with our intimate, DIY spirit. No required vendors, no catering minimums, no one telling them how their wedding should look. Forty of their favorite people, one sun-filled room in Williamsburg, and every detail exactly theirs.
A DIY wedding, done their way
Because Bat Haus is a bring-your-own wedding venue — your caterer, your drinks, your décor, no corkage and no markup — Hayley and Richard built the day themselves. Their caterer's buffet ran right down the room, toasts were raised under the big glass-block window as golden light poured in, and the paper lanterns and string lights did what they always do.
The ice cream truck finale
Here's the detail their guests will be talking about for years: at the end of the night, an ice cream truck pulled up outside on Grand Street for dessert. That's the beauty of a flexible venue — if your dream dessert has wheels and a soft-serve machine, we'll see you at the curb. It was the perfect ending to a celebration that was pure Hayley and Richard: personal, fun, and completely unforgettable.
They are truly some of the most wonderful people we've ever hosted, and we feel lucky their long-awaited day happened here.
