About this space

The main hall opens onto approximately 1300 square feet of venue-dedicated dockside terrace space which also features a private dock on the East River. The outdoor space can be separated from the bar next door during events, but guests may be allowed exit and reentry to the bar if desired. Frame tents can be erected to cover the outdoor space.

Next door, Anable Basin Bar & Grill is open during warm weather (roughly April through October). If you're interested in additional space for your event, inquire about renting the bar space during the colder months. Tenting can increase guest capacity by 300 or more depending on the event and layout.

SRS has recently added a spacious bridal suite / green room on the second-floor lit by large skylights and equipped with a full bath and complete kitchen. There is also a small storage room outside the kitchen where you can lock up valuables during your event. Pipe and drape or soft/moveable walls can be used to create separate breakout rooms in the main hall or a coat check in the entrance hall.

Show cancellation details

Sound River Studios (SRS) is a large gallery-style space with white walls, large windows and skylights, and a blank slate awaiting transformation for your event.

Corporate meetings, seminars, conventions, product launches, and trade shows appreciate the broad expanse of floor space coupled with river views. The Manhattan skyline provides a striking backdrop for wedding ceremonies and receptions, bat & bar mitzvahs, cocktail parties, birthdays, and social events of all sorts. High white walls are ideal for gallery exhibitions, performances, and film screenings.
