Beautiful Large Brooklyn Loft for Photo Shoots, Rehearsals, Meetings or Events
Great, sunny space that easily fit my engagement cocktail party of 25-30. Very open space, flexible for decorations. Plenty of chairs and tables and window ACs. There were some areas that could've been a bit cleaner (dusty rug, scratched floor), so if you're not going for 'industrial...

Avant-Garde Duplex in Heart of Tribeca
perfect vibe for a 25 person dinner party I hosted. The bar and lounge area in the back warmly welcomed our guests for the cocktail hour, the downstairs kitchen allowed for the chef to whip up a delicious 5 course meal, and the host William couldn't have been more...

Avant-Garde Duplex in Heart of Tribeca
This well-located, sophisticated furniture showroom definitely has the wow factor. We loved hosting a cocktail for about 80 people here. Usefully, there is a built-in bar at the back, and the stunning table seen in the main image made for an eye-catching presentation for our food. Our...

Beautiful Art Gallery - Blocks from the Liberty Bell
This is a great location for a cocktail party, reception, or (as in my case) birthday party. As long as you're not interested in throwing a raging party, this place could do nicely. They also let me choose which art would be hanging up which was a great touch...

Beautiful Versatile Event Space
renting this space basically alleviated most of my worries. Who needs a ton of decorations when your venue is this gorgeous? We celebrated a cocktail birthday brunch here with about 65 guests comfortably; simply spreading the food along the tables on the walls & in the kitchen, and having some balloons...
