Modern NY Chelsea Loft
kitchen countertop to place about 7 trays of food. It was nice having the fridge available to keep beverages cold. We also had a bar table we used to place the cake on top. Everything was literally perfect, couldn’t have it any other way. I am sooo happy...

Upscale, Full Service Loft on 5th with Rooftop, Staff, Sound System, Custom Lighting, Kitchen, Setup, Cleaning, Gratuity & Tax Included.
This is a beautiful and dynamic venue. The decor and furniture is modern, yet sultry and the open bar options are reasonable for all the mixers, garnished and services included. The managers were extremely responsive and communicative. My only critique is the strictness on access with regards to time...

The Empire Room
had to do was show up. The only possible negative thing I would say is that there was noise from other sections of the pub that made it difficult to hear and to have a conversation. However, that is probably a standard pub experience. In general I am highly satisfied...

Loft in Flatiron for Filmed Interviews & Content Creation
main windows and the room doesn't have the brightest house lights, so we couldn't use the direction we wanted initially, but the bar area has great adaptable lights and so we just found another angle. But would book again, it's a great sized space and easy access...

Swanky Speakeasy Bar & Lounge
This space feels so comfortable for a party away from home! We opted in for the pool table, karaoke, and an open bar. It was perfect to celebrate making it 10 years in NYC! The staff was fantastic for day of coordination. I would recommend...

Luxury Midtown Manhattan Event Space | Private Parties, Corporate Events | BYOB
TEN32 was exactly the venue space my client was looking for. Guests enjoyed the modern ambiance of the space with amenities like the bar, spacious seating and a section for catering. The venue was just like the images showed online. It was easy for guests to get to and was...

British Pub
One of our film students booked the British Pub and really enjoyed working in the space. She felt that it was not only a realistic setting to shoot in, but that it was also a spacious place to spend the day working in as well. Zarina, the host, was very...

Sunsetpark Clock Tower Loft
his team. I don’t think there really is anything better. It’s a walking distance to the Costco. Great bagel options at bagel pub. Some amazing deli sandwiches at new sunset. Sunset City is slept on for sure, and once everyone walked into the space, they knew that this...

Modern NY Chelsea Loft
and confident about using and leaving the space. The rolling island was super helpful and flexible — perfect for setting up our dessert and mimosa bar — and the shelving units worked great for displaying favors and goodie bags. The chic, ambient lighting gave the space an elevated vibe that was exactly...

Swanky Speakeasy Bar & Lounge
up for him. I hired two bartenders thru the space which was 25/hr per person. It was byob and ppl could do the cash bar as well. For the byob the bartenders had buckets of ice and did serving platters for drinks and shots. They were absolutely amazing!! The actual...

Swanky Speakeasy Bar & Lounge
convenient location with an eclectic theme. I needed a fun but comfortable space for a birthday party for 60-75 people. The Swanky Speakeasy Bar & Lounge was perfect. The set up was stunning for what I wanted - comfortable but cool couches and chairs in different pockets of the room surrounded...

Sun-Filled Corner Loft with Open Plan Kitchen
at Home Studios for our pre-wedding party. The studio is absolutely breathtaking; the space is perfectly designed for setting up an open bar, a dancing area, a relaxing sit-down area, etc., and the team was lovely to work with. Travis, Tony, Tristan, and Andrew responded promptly to all...

Intimate, urban, unique art gallery with industrial-chic style
and answered all my questions promptly. The chairs and tables on-site were very helpful, and I augmented it with a couple circular standing pub tables of my own to accommodate my ~24 guests. The kitchenette and fridge were perfect for our beverages. Highly highly recommend based on the exceptional...
