The canvas

Make the room your own.

Great events start on the sidewalk. Light up the historic Broadway blade sign for your guests, roll out a red carpet, or greet the line with brass bands, street performers, and vintage cars.

These are planning capabilities, not a reservation or an equipment-inclusive quote. Confirm event-specific layout, rigging, power, permits, staffing and availability with the venue. Full-building occupancy is reviewed per event; do not add the floor capacities together.
