Universal Hall Rental
reopens for business
By Tangerine Clarke
Andre and Stacy-Ann Noble, proprietors
of Universal Hall Rental, are ecstatic
to welcome back patrons, to their seven
banquet halls in Brooklyn, that were
shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
During a recent tour of their 3500sq.
ft. Studio Seven One Eight space, at 922
Remsen Ave., the Guyanese and Jamaican
couple, told Caribbean Life that their
facilities are 75 percent booked through
the summer season.
Known for hosting themed birthday
parties, weddings, repasts, baby showers,
gender reveal parties, among other events,
the husband and wife team has kept busy
pre-coronavirus pandemic, since starting
their business 19 years ago.
In addition to “Studio Seven One Eight”
patrons could book, the Naomi Suite and
the Burchell’s Suite, at 8926 Ave. D, the
Universal Palace at 9302 Ditmas Ave., the
Lower Level at 924 Remsen Ave., and the
Pex Event Space at 1956 Utica Ave.
Since a recent announcement by Gov.
Andrew Cuomo that restrictions will be
lifted, allowing, 50 percent occupancy at
events, with Covid-19 guidelines in place,
the business owners have been bombarded
with calls from supporters, who are
eager to host functions, brought to a halt,
by the pandemic that killed millions.
Mrs. Noble, general manager (stacy.
universalhallrental@gmail.com) shares
ideas for décor and helps customers
choose the best space available, depending
on their occasion. She also encourages
persons to get vaccinated, noting
that being inoculated makes everyone
and others around them, feel comfortable,
while wearing a mask, and staying
six feet apart.
“People don’t mind taking the vaccine.
Many of my friends have already have,”
she shared, adding, that Universal Hall
Rental has employed extra staff to ensure
temperatures are checked, as part of the
overall protocol.
The general manager, whose office
is conveniently located at 922 Remsen
Ave., said she was technology savvy, and
responded promptly to all queries. She
welcomes customers for personal tours
of the spaces that are shown on Monday,
Thursday and Friday. Each person
is allowed to view four halls during one
visit.
Each hall has an adequate drinks bar
as well as serving facilities in order for
customers to bring in their own catering
and sip.
The halls are beautifully decorated
with floral arrangements, colorful lighting,
and elegant seating, for an elegant
experience.
Mr. Noble, who founded the business,
and operated “Ground Zero” a basement
banquet hall in 2000, before opening Universal
Resort, at 4897 Church Ave., now
owns a conglomerate.
He said he manages his businesses
effortlessly, using remote access technology
that allows prospective clients
access to the buildings without him being
there.
This process helps the rental business
to run seamlessly, especially during these
times, when life seems to be getting back
to normal, after the locations were shutdown
from March 14, 2020.
Universal Hall Rental could also be
reached at 718-450-4996, 917-805-1789,
and visible on all social media platforms.
