About the Space
You’re seeking a space to host a personal event that doesn’t cost a trillion dollars. You’d love to have 30 of our closest friends over for a lovely birthday dinner, but New York apartments are just too small to accommodate such a dream soiree! We are thrilled to announce that we are currently accepting bookings for the following occasions: *Workshops *Weddings *Baby Showers *Birthday Parties *Anniversary Parties *Dinner Parties *Other Private Events The space comfortably seats 30 people for a sit down dinner and up to 75 people for a standing cocktail event. It’s a furnished environment including a full kitchen where your friends can cook up a storm or your caterers can make themselves at home. To keep our space affordable, set up and clean up is up to you! You may move items, we just ask that you return them to their original place after your rental. Please note that the decorations in the space (such as the swooping cloth pictured in the photograph) changes in accordance with the season. We can provide you with information about the specific decorations during your rental time. St. Lydia's is a small storefront church space that also hosts rentals! We are a progressive, GLBTQ-affirming congregation working together to dispel isolation, reconnect neighbors, and subvert the status quo. Proceeds from all rentals are in direct support of St. Lydia's.

Wonderful time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great night at a beautiful space. Thanks Julia!
This event space is great! I rented it to celebrate my daughters 1st bday and it was easy to setup and provided ample space for kids to run around. The tables at first seemed wobbly but they were absolutely fine. Loved the full kitchen area which is extremely convenient when you have a catered event.
We had our baby shower at the location. It was perfect for the atmosphere and vibe we were wanted to capture. Julia was very responsive and the space was advertised, the decor does change slightly based on season but does not dramatically change from what is pictured.
Booking this through Julia was such a great experience. The space is wonderful, and we look forward to our next event here. Julia is very prompt and easy to work with.
Always lovely.
The space was wonderful and cozy. Julia was incredibly helpful and responsive.
Beautiful space to host a bridal shower. Our bride loved the decor and there was plenty of seating for all guests. The space was fully stocked with anything we needed from cake stands to serving trays to garbage and recycling bags and cleaning products. There was a slight miscommunication over timing but Julia handled gracefully and it didn’t significantly impact our event. Would absolutely book again!
Booking with Julia was easy and the space was great. We had a birthday party for my two year old and it was mostly a good fit. We had to seriously baby-proof the room though!
