After years in the event industry, I have developed the ability to find the hidden flaws in pretty much anything, particularly in New York event spaces. So imagine my surprise when I visited the Altman Building for an open house a few weeks ago … and thought that it was perfect.
Coney Island always reminded me of being a kid. Rides, jugglers, fun house, candy apples, and games. The thought of not having that around anymore was sad as now I have to be an adult at all times!! Well, not anymore...Bowlmor brought Carnival to the city for all ages to enjoy.
There are not many choices in Queens when looking for some place affordable for your special event. You may have a nice venue, but have to have catering in house or you may have a catering facility you like, but don't like the decor. Club SANM can change all of that for you.
Last year, I had a lovely couple that wanted to have a “Falling in Love” fall theme for their November nuptials. We carefully planned all the details from the ivies, to the curly willows to the green & brown color palette. When looking at venues, we knew the moment we saw it, that it was the perfect fit!
From the moment you walk out of the freight elevator & into this 12,500 square foot space, you’re hooked! This all white event space has pristine walls, elegant chandeliers & state of the art LED’s to change the mood or décor in an instant.
I am an enormous fan of beautiful raw event space. Unfortunately, in New York City it is rather difficult to find at a reasonable cost and without the ‘exclusive vendor' restrictions. Lucky for us, a fantastic new space has opened up in super chic Soho. Welcome to Loft 676!
When planning your special event, you rarely get an opportunity to pick a "hip" place. You have your standard spaces that can accommodate your guest count, some that are closer to where you live, and others that hold a special meaning to your occasion or guest(s) of honor. Enter, The Foundry...

Let me clarify the title: Dinner & a "Show" means dinner with a fabulous view that just watching the people & the activities transpiring below are enough to captivate you. That’s just what you see OUTSIDE from the wrap around terraces & glass windows INSIDE. The inside is warm & inviting with its hard wood floors, high ceilings & rich wood accents. Each room boasts it’s own identity with either lanterns hanging from the ceiling or boats…yes, I said it, boats.
Little known fact: It costs $25 to get married in Central Park. Permits can be obtained about a month in advance, which sure beats the average six-to-twelve-month lead time necessary to book most New York City venues—ceremony sites included. The allowed size of your guest list depends on the location, and with the exception of the Conservatory Gardens, nearly every area of the park is permit-able (however, you cannot set up a tent and only acoustic music is allowed). Some favorites: Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, Cedar Hill, Cherry Hill, Ladies Pavilion, and the Pond.
