Grand Brasserie

Grand Brasserie offers one of New York’s most impressive event backdrops: the entirety of Vanderbilt Hall, exclusively yours. This full venue hire gives your group access to the Main Dining Room, Green Room, central bar, and all surrounding spaces, with combined standing capacity of approximately 570 guests and seated dining for up to 330 across flexible configurations. With soaring ceilings, iconic Beaux-Arts architecture, and both natural daylight and dramatic lighting options, the space adapts seamlessly to conferences, brand activations, holiday galas, and multi-format experiences. Guests can flow between formal seated sections, cocktail lounges, and interactive stations, while dedicated entrances and bespoke signage options ensure your event branding shines. Our team works closely with planners on floor plans, AV integration, security staffing, and detailed timeline management. A venue buy-out allows for extended hours, full control of music, and the ability to customize everything from arrival drinks to late-night snacks. Food and beverage minimums, staffing levels, and pricing tiers differ substantially from smaller space hires, and we welcome the chance to scope your event requirements during a planning consultation.
