I got in touch with them as soon as I learned that they had rentals available...I know, I know, I am engaged but come on... firemen! Plus, Big Guy thinks its a great idea (what little boy doesn't dream about playing in an old firehouse at one point or another???)
They were very nice and sent me all of their rates and space specifications:
The good news: "Our fee is a flat rate- there are no additional taxes - included in the fee is a firefighter on duty for security and a handyman to assist with clean-up."
- No taxes! Firefighter! .... that might be favorite sentence ever.
The not as good (although not bad) news: "The cost of rental is $3300 for 8 hours (2 hours to set-up, 5 hours for your party and 1 hour for clean-up)."
- The fee is very reasonable for Manhattan and using my guesstimated guest count would become approximately $20 per person
- But yet again we only get 5 hours to party hardy... which is ... sigh... short... especially if we do the ceremony there too
Still the thought of roaming around an old firehouse with our guests seems like it would be really fun...especially since no amount of self-control would stop me from sliding down the pole in my wedding dress!
I need to start looking into wedding caterers... I wonder if their are Russian wedding caterers independent of established Russian restos... if anyone knows, please shoot me an email!

Hey! My dad's cousin got married there, I didn't go but my dad and stepmom said it was a really cool venue.
That is so funny! I had no idea!
I love it! Maybe you could find out what it costs to go overtime....
I know I think it is so great! I did, still waiting for a response, but I will post it when I get it :)
