event venue / space rental - ??

Hi.
Does anyone know of a warehouse, art space or such that would be available for renting for a private function about 200+ ppl? I am looking to hold a reception and don't want to just stick to the catering halls - tacky and bland. I need something different and would love to find something in my windsor terrace neighborhood or the slope - maybe even red hook!

the space would need to be available in about 9 to 10 months.

all suggestions are welcome!

thanks.

Probably not what you want then but Grand Prospect Hall comes to mind

The boat house in Prospect Park can hold about 200 people if I remember.
