Looking for a good spot to hire for a private party in NYC? We’ve put together a list of our top spots
Big event coming up? Need the perfect venue for hosting a party, team building meeting, or celebration? We’ve got a list of our favorite private hire venues in NYC for any occasion.
Hosting a party based around an activity is rising in popularity, and it’s obvious why – if you’re bringing together a group of guests, it can be hard to break the ice and get them all interacting. Having an activity to bond everyone towards a common goal elevates any awkwardness and gets the party started!
Swingers is the perfect spot to hire out for a private party. Whether you’re looking for a birthday blowout, or a more formal meeting space with a fun activity to do for team building, we’ve got it covered.
At the location in NoMad, you can hire an area of the venue to suit your needs.
While there’s plenty to do on the crazy golf courses – with three nine hole courses to explore – the fun doesn’t stop there.
There’s plenty of delicious gourmet street food to get stuck into (included when booking group packages) – Emmy Burger and Tacos Fonda. You won’t have to worry about picky eaters with this selection – there’s something for everyone, and the selection caters to if you just want snacks, or a succulent burger or pizza!
You’ll be supplied with a caddy dedicated to making your event a success, so you can be assured that the drinks will keep flowing and everyone will be looked after.
With fantastic transport links enabling your guests to travel to and from the venue with ease (a five minute walk from 34th St and a two minute walk from 28th St subway stops), you won’t have to worry about booking transportation or about your guests getting lost on the way to the event.

Pickleball is booming in popularity, mainly because it’s a super accessible sport that doesn’t quite need the skill or agility of tennis.
Because it’s fun and easy, it’s a great option to base a party or event around.
Court 16 is a great option if you’re looking to hire a venue with an activity – when you book your event at Court 16, you’ll be provided with a curated tournament bracket, coaching, and (probably most importantly) racquets!
Some events call for flexibility from a venue – you might need to go from a sit-down talk to a clear room for dancing. Below are a few options of some nice venues that can be flexible to different needs.

Some events call for the wow-factor. Impress your guests by booking a venue with a historic connection or entrancing decor. Here’s a few of our suggestions.

Maybe you’re looking for something a little more understated. If your event only calls for a few guests, there’s little point in paying for a large space that you don’t need. Here’s some smaller venues we’ve found in NYC that would be great options for your smaller event.
