Choosing a sheva brachos setting at BHI

A good venue choice starts with how you want the evening to feel. For a sheva brachos at BHI Thursdays, think about the guest count, the meal, and how much privacy your group needs.

Start with the seating arrangement

A restaurant table, a semi-private section, and a private event are different arrangements. Share your expected guest count and date, then ask which setup is available. If you plan to have speeches or singing, mention that when discussing the space and timing.

BHI is at 722 Kings Highway in Brooklyn. Use the sheva brachos page to explore the restaurant's group options, then ask about your date.

Compare the whole meal

Look through the dining menu with your hosts. Decide whether you want guests to choose their own meals or prefer an agreed group menu. Ask what the proposal includes: food, drinks, service charge, tax, and any minimum spend.

BHI is an OU Certified Glatt Kosher restaurant. Discuss any specific food or preparation requirements with the team before settling on a menu.

Get the details together before booking

• Space: the seating layout and whether other diners will share the room.
• Timing: arrival, meal service, speeches, and the agreed finish time.
• Budget: the full estimated total and what could change it.
• Booking: the deposit, final guest-count deadline, and cancellation terms.

Once the arrangement is confirmed, send guests the address and arrival time. Keeping those details in one message makes the evening easier for everyone.
