BRETTON GRASSIE & PENNY DYTE

As the Co-Founders of The Brownstone & Venue 308,

Bretton & Penny have fully immersed themselves in the world of events. With a combined total of over 50 years experience in client based service industries, this Mother-Daughter duo has been continually learning and growing as they dust off skills, create new categories, roll with the punches, and go out there to seize the day! 


 
 

  • A wicked golf swing, an enviable collection of shoes, and a pretty awesome dad. That’s just the start! Chris has an old school work ethic with the enthusiasm of a millennial - cool.

    Skills on the tools, and downright likeable personality? You bet he’s hired! He’s an invaluable piece of the puzzle.

    His love and knowledge of this space is contagious as he tours you through the venue; watch out! You might just book on the spot.

 

  • With over 10 years of experience in the events industry, Monica is making things happen at The Brownstone.

    As venue coordinator, seating chart architect, floor plan wizard, and all around MVP, we could not be more excited to have her advocate for our client’s using the knowledge of our service style and space.

 
 


  • A key differentiator of utmost importance to us was to bring you a full bar experience that shows the care that our team provides in every aspect of your booking.

    We don’t run a bar, we run an event for you and Andrew is the kind of Bar Lead who knows how to bring that curated experience to your guests.

    With over 15 years of experience, his talent and creativity will ensure that your event is one that people talk about for years to come.

 

  • Responsive, caring, service focused and excellence are the mantra of this booking coordinator extraordinaire. She will be the first person you hear from and will be there to usher you through the process of understanding all of the options available to you at The Brownstone. You’ll feel her smile through the screen - trust us.

OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • “Penny, Bretton, Chris and the entire team have been nothing short of incredible - through weaving through changing restrictions and postponements to creating the most beautiful space for our wedding.

    From the first meeting I knew that we wouldn't be able to have our wedding anywhere else but what I didn't know was just how much our expectations would be exceeded.”

    -HANNAH A

  • “The communication with them was so easy and smooth. Penny asked for the right questions, directing us ultimately to how do we envision what the event and venue would look like. On the day of the event, the venue looked way better that my expectation - it was very lovely and the event just went smoothly, thanks to Chris and Andrew.

    From start to finish, our experience with The Brownstone was exceptional.
    Can't recommend them enough!!”

    -KIMBERLY ESPANOL

  • “Bretton, Chris, Penny and team are a terrific, down to earth group of trained individuals who are obviously passionate for their craft and talent, ensuring anyone using the venue space will not be disappointed.

    I couldn’t recommend The Brownstone team more. A true group of highly skilled rockstars in the business of people, heart and making memorable moments”
