Sure you’ve browsed here but just in case https://thevendry.com/venues/usa/ny/new-york/convention-centers-raw-spaces-event-spaces?c1=800&p=1&v=23,33,59

Yes thank you! Reality is there're only a handful for 800 seated and fortune 500 companies don't blink at 300k to walk in the door.

Marriott Marquis? I can’t remember exactly where they max out, but I’ve done at least 500 there with room to spare.

Also Ziegfeld Ballroom, if you don’t need breakouts.

Ziegfeld Ballroom is the best! When I worked for ARC we hosted all of our galas there.

Tell James, Stephanie from ARC sent you. 😊

There is also the Edison Ballroom. I believe it was remodeled recently.

@EventPlanner550 if you don't mind more trad spaces, both Sheraton and Hilton Midtown both have large ballrooms that can accommodate and it would not be a full house rental.

We've also talked to Live Nation rentals before for Radio City and The Theatre at MSG and I felt their rentals were reasonable based on the time of year you are looking at booking and what they already have scheduled.

Thank you Kat!

We shy away from those as innovation and hotel ballrooms don't mix well.

Current front-runner is Pier 60. A little smaller than we'd like but there are always trade-offs.

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!

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!
