Rent the perfect banquet hall in New York

Just steps away from McCaren Park resides Dobbin St, an event space dubbed “The Blue Building” for its striking blue exterior. Stepping inside the 4,250 sq. ft. interior, the space is the epitome of minimalist luxury, with an industrial edge.

Dobbin St is more than just its bright blue facade: private hire includes access to a rooftop terrace with Manhattan skyline views, a hidden courtyard, and a mezzanine with a private suite and lounge. The main interior can host up to 200 guests for a seated meal or banquet, and up to 275 for cocktail parties.

Specializing in experiential and curated events, Dobbin St includes in-house bar packages, full event production services, and the option for sustainable event styles.

New York City is home to many grand churches and cathedrals, and Landmark on the Park, located in the Upper West Side’s Historical District, is no exception. Across the street from Central Park, this Neo-Gothic space is complete with mahogany and marble detailing. Spaces range from a gymnasium to an intimate chapel room, but the main hall is ideal for a NYC banquet event.

Landmark on the Park includes in-house catering, bar service, and an intimate chapel for wedding ceremonies. This banquet hall can host between 300 seated to 350 standing guests, making it an ideal flexible space for events from weddings to charity events.

20 stories above the iconic Fifth Avenue is Empire Penthouse, a notable large venue space in 230 Fifth Ave. This space radiates minimalist-industrial chic with a modern dance floor and boasts panoramic views of the surrounding Manhattan skyline.

Hosting an event at 230 Fifth includes in-house catering with options for cocktails, buffets, and barbecue-style cuisine, as well as furniture options to further customize the space. Empire Penthouse can accommodate up to 600 guests with 2 full-service bars and private access to the rooftop garden.

The New York Public Library system is home to over 6 million circulating items and is one of the most coveted banquet halls and venue spaces in the city. Right in Bryant Park is the Stephen A. Schwarzman building, the face of the NYPL and home to the iconic Astor Hall and Celeste Bartos Forum event spaces.

Astor Hall is located right at the Fifth Avenue entrance of the library, where guests can step into a breathtaking Beaux-Arts style interior space full of archways and embellishments. This event space can host events from a 275-guest wedding banquet to cocktail parties for 750.

The Celeste Bartos Forum is also located at the Bryant Park campus and is the picture of opulence. A 30 ft. high glass dome covers the space, and guests can dine surrounded by marble walls and ceiling panels. Unlike Astor Hall, the Forum can comfortably seat 450 guests and allows for a standing capacity of 500.

Both banquet halls have in-house catering, which includes both food and bar service.
