Lorenzo and his team are incredible hosts! This was an event to remember, and Lorenzo did everything in his power to make my life easier - from the cool lights, the projector set up, helping my DJ hook everything up. He had competent staff who helped to serve drinks, a big cooler, little mini-fridges, a coat rack, and so much more! Cleaning up was also a breeze. We had a blast and a half, and that's all thanks to Lorenzo. I would recommend this place a thousand times over. Thank you again for such an amazing night. <3

We had an event celebrating cultural heritage of a region in the Balkans, which consisted of a combined performance, with several singers accompanied by a small band, a dance group and a mini play, plus a narration illustrated by a slide show. Thanks to a large space, we could use both the stage and the area in front of it for the performance, and still fit the chairs for the audience. We used the pull-down screen for the slides in between the numbers. The space is very acoustic. It is well ventilated, it felt light and airy, despite numerous performers and the audience. The custodian was very helpful and accommodating (we brought some small props for the play). You will need to provide the proof of insurance but we got a good deal based on the recommendation from the hosts. Overall, highly recommended!

Overall amazing experience!!! The venue was lovely, with a lot of space and super versatile for any kind of event. It has a lot of utilities, like a stall bathroom, a storage room, and a kitchen, that are included and super convenient. For what it is, the price is very good, especially compared to other venues, both in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. The location is perfect, super accessible both by car and by subway. It worked perfect for my event. But the best part has to be the host! She was the sweetest person ever, and she went out of her way to make the event successful. She was super helpful and understanding and just made the entire experience 10x better and less complicated. I would definitely come back to this venue for other events of all kinds and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to do any kind of large scale event. 10 out of 10!

How to Plan a Small Party in New York, NY

It’s easy to get overwhelmed while planning a small party in New York. Besides finding the perfect event space, you also have to consider other important factors for a successful event. Here are the best planning tips to ease your stress.

Find the Most Appropriate Party Venue – Looking for an event space doesn’t stop after you find the first one in New York. You have to be patient and weigh in all your options, including each venue’s pros and cons. Moreover, you also have to check which amenities are included in each venue rental package.

Form a Dedicated Team – Even though it’s a small party, there are a bunch of aspects you have to take into account during planning. Instead of doing everything alone, why not form a team or hire a group of professional event planners?

Find Ways to Keep Your Guests Happy – Good entertainment can also lead to a more successful party. Try including fun activities so your guests can feel more excited throughout the event. You can consider adding trivia games, photo booths, or video presentations.

How to Save Money on Your Small Party in New York, NY

Of course, nobody wants to overspend when planning any event, even small parties! It’s easy to get lost with all the expenses, but it’s important to stay grounded to your set budget so you don’t regret anything in the end. Plus, our effective money-saving tips below can also help!

How about a weekday during off-peak season?

If you want to save money and avoid the crowds at the same time, it’s best to host events on a weekday. Avoid the holidays and peak season when rental rates can shoot up and huge crowds can cause heavily congested spots in New York.

Use what the venue has.

Forget about buying everything you need, including the amenities and accessories for the decorations! Try to go for a simple yet memorable small party, and just borrow or rent what the venue can offer. Most event spaces have a sound system, a microphone, a stage, and photo equipment for your pictures.

Have you considered a potluck for the food and drinks?

Invite your guests to participate in your small party by asking them to bring their favorite dishes and drinks. That way, you don’t have to spend a hefty amount on restaurant takeouts or catering services.
