Auditorium rental in NYC?

September 8, 2005 7:43 AM

I need to rent an auditorium or theatre for a night. My organization is having its annual meeting and they need 200 seats, a meeting room, and a reception area. Is there a directory of theaters/auditoriums/conference centers in NYC?

I've been Googling "nyc auditorium rental" and "nyc theater rental," so I've got that covered.

Check with a large hotel. They frequently host events of the size you've described. Hotels really geared for event services may be listed as "hotel and conference center".

Ditto on the hotels, any larger hotel is going to have a conference center which should include a ballroom space, plus they'll be able to set up seats, tables, etc. to any configuration you require (for a price of course).

Here's a short listing of some NYC event sites. A good event planner should be able to hook you up with even more.

Here is the directory from the New York Convention Bureau (or NYC Company as it is called now)

The advantage of using a hotel is that they have on-site event planners and caterers and can provide your guests a place to stay.
