Booked Avenida Rooftop at Avenida Cocina & Cócteles

5.0

I recently hosted a surprise party at this venue, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. The manager was especially accommodating and made us feel so welcome, which really helped set the tone for a great evening. Throughout the planning process, I was in regular contact with Conor, who was amazing to work with. He was incredibly informative, always quick to respond, and really made the whole experience stress-free. His attention to detail and clear communication were truly appreciated. The space itself was perfect for our event—great atmosphere, well-maintained, and just the right size for our group. Everyone had a wonderful time, and I’ve received so many compliments on the choice of venue. I highly recommend booking this place if you're planning an event. You’ll be in great hands!

Booked Velvet Room at Velvet Brooklyn

5.0

I can’t say enough amazing things about Phil and Velvet Brooklyn! From start to finish, Phil was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and hands-on. I planned a surprise birthday for my boyfriend, and he made sure everything went smoothly. The venue was perfect, the bartenders were fantastic, and the music were great. It’s rare to find a spot in NYC that truly delivers, but Phil’s hospitality and organization made all the difference. I’m so grateful to him and the entire team at Velvet Brooklyn for such a special night. Would absolutely host another event here—10/10!

Booked Event Space at Area 140 First Bar

5.0

The owner, Michael, was incredibly easy to work with and so kind. When booking he was quick to respond and easy to communicate with! On the night of my party, he was prepared and was incredibly welcoming to my party. Throughout the night he checked in to make sure we were happy and things were going well (to which the answer was always "We're having so much fun!"). The bartender, Rob, was also incredibly kind and fun. He was incredible to all my guests and added such a fun energy to the party. My friends and I have already discussed how we will be returning to Area 140 and booking it for future parties. Overall the party, atmosphere, and staff were 10/10 and I could not have asked for a better place to host my birthday.

Booked Entire Space at Cafe Skye

5.0

Here’s the updated version with those changes: I hosted my birthday party here, and it was the perfect choice! It was a murder mystery-themed event with around 30 guests, and the venue offered just the right amount of space. I’m confident it could comfortably accommodate up to 40 people (the max capacity is 45). We opted for a standing cocktail-style setup and chose a selection of hors d'oeuvres, including sliders (fresh and delicious), mushroom toast points, and avocado crostinis—both of which were vegan and a hit with my guests! The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, and the cozy brick interior added to the inviting atmosphere. Cameron, reached out ahead of time and communicated via messages to create custom drinks. I even got to help name and create both a cocktail and a mocktail, which added a fun personal touch to the night! Overall, the value is excellent—there’s no venue rental fee, just a minimum spend, and with the food and drink options, meeting that minimum was easy. I highly recommend this venue for a memorable and seamless event!

Booked The Courtyard at Tampico Tequila Bar

5.0

Tampico was the perfect venue for our birthday party. We were in the courtyard which is beautiful and comfortably fits a large group. The staff set up waters for everyone and moved the table ahead of time (as we had requested permission to do ourselves). Joe was extremely communicative online and the staff was extremely helpful the night of the event as well. I was amazed that when our timeslot for the courtyard was up, the staff moved of all our decorations inside for us so we could stay longer at the bar. The music was great too! Overall, I would highly recommend Tampico for an event.

Booked Event Space at The Downtown Loft

5.0

Zach was a phenomenal host! I wanted to see the space in-person before hosting my party, and Zach was willing to accommodate me and give me a tour before I officially booked. Leading up to the party, Zach sent me instructional videos on how to use the space and ensured I had everything I needed for the event. Throughout the night, he checked-up on me to make sure everything was running smoothly. The venue is amazing — great downtown location with plenty of grocery stores nearby. You have the ability to connect to your own Spotify for music, change the color of the lights, and bring in your own food. I got so many compliments on the space by the end of the night. Would definitely book again!

This was one of the best birthday parties I’ve ever had!!!! Food was incredible, I was able to select a prefixe menu and custom drinks! All of the drinks and food were soooo good!! Atmosphere was so cozy and fun, perfect for my 16 people party. I also brought flower decorations and karaoke mics! We literally blasted music and sang/danced until 1 AM Staff were so friendly, accommodating, and amazing. Without them, the party could not have been a success! I genuinely had such a blast at Cafe Skye and all my friends also really enjoyed the space, staff, and food. I will definitely be coming back!!!!

Booked Elixir Room at Pekarna

5.0

The staff were amazing and so accommodating to my party. I hosted a costume birthday party at Pekarna and everyone was so welcoming and made sure that only invitees were in the party space, the bartender took care of every single guest with such attention & the rest of the staff made sure everything was taken care of seamlessly. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or better people to celebrate with. I highly recommend hosting your event here!
