Where to Find Large Party Venues in Manhattan with Catering?

Hi all — does anyone have reccos of party venues that fit ~900 people? Few notes:

• Targeting Manhattan

• Huge pro if they have in-house catering

• Looking for something more laid back (bar, restaurant) vs a Cipriani/Tao/Capitale. We were at Pier60 this year, which was great, but we like to switch it up 🙂

Appreciate any suggestions, thank you in advance!

Magic Hour? I’ve seen photos of events there and believe it’s big enough. There’s always 230 Fifth which takes me back to my 20s

The Glasshouses is great! They don’t have in house catering but amazing space and have tons of recommendations for people that could work in the space.

It really is a space that you can make it want you want, so if you want to create more loungy or upscale you can.

Thank you @EventPlanner747 and @EventPlanner397! Sounds like both of these are blank canvases, is that right? We’re looking for somewhere that ideally has in-house furniture/catering etc. so it’s a bit more “plug and play” for our lean planning team. But these are both stunning venues to learn about, thank you!

Have you checked City Winery? They have in house catering and full back end and front end event staff.

Thank you @EventPlanner522! I somehow missed this. I had ruled out City Winery since their Vendry profile said the Max Standing is 675, but I went back to their website and looks like they can do a full buyout for 1000.

@EventPlanner963 I also chatted with Magic Hour and their max on the rooftop/in one space is 500 😞 their Vendry profile says “Max Standing: 1200” so flagging that both of those capacities are not reflected accurately on The Vendry

Thank you all for the recs!

Yes they can def fit 1000. They have a TON of space and can reconfigure to many specs.

Where Can I Find Unique Large Event Venues in NY and LA?

I'm looking for venues in NY and LA that have space for a half or full day conference for 200-250 people with room for breakouts and production space. We know the usual suspects (Convene, Glasshouse, major hotel chains, etc.) but wondering if there is anything else we may not know of. Bonus if LA venues have outdoor space. Thanks!
