The Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Corporate Space in Midtown

Welcome to the Big Apple, the city that never sleeps, and more specifically, the pulsating heart of it all—Midtown. If you're looking to hire a corporate venue in Midtown, NYC, you've come to the right place. We’ll guide you through every step of the process.

Why Choose Midtown for Your Private Event?

Midtown is the epicenter of New York City's hustle and bustle. It's where skyscrapers touch the sky, yellow cabs honk their way through gridlock, and street food vendors serve up the best hot dogs you'll ever eat. Home to more Starbucks than you can count, it’s the place where tourists and locals alike come to experience the quintessential NYC vibe. With its iconic landmarks like Times Square, Broadway, and the Empire State Building, Midtown is the perfect backdrop for any event.

Do you know your Midtowners?

Let us break it down for you. In the mid-1950s this area boomed with office space in the form of tall skyscrapers to rival Wall Street and since then the suits have stuck around the area. You've got The Corporate Titans, high-powered executives, armed with a smartphone and a relentless drive to close the next big deal - this may be you! Or The Tourist Extravaganza, wide-eyed with wonder, trying to figure out which way is uptown. Or look out for The Theater Buffs, heading straight towards Broadway, humming show tunes as they rush to catch the latest hit. But let’s be real – you’re not here for the tourist traps. You’re here to find a corporate venue where you and your guests can enjoy your event without elbowing through hordes of selfie-stick-wielding tourists. Now you've navigated the crowd, lets begin to think about the venue.

Step 1: Understand Your Event Needs

Before you start calling every building with a "FOR RENT" sign, you need to understand what you’re looking for in a meeting room. Ask yourself these crucial questions:

  1. Guest List: How many attendees are you expecting? (No, you can’t just say “a lot”) .

  2. Amenities: What kind of add ons do you need? Wi-Fi, projectors, a coffee station with an endless supply of caffeine for those inevitable 3 PM slumps?

  3. Budget: How much are you willing to spend? Midtown is notorious for its sky-high prices, but there are gems to be found at every price point. Remember things like minimum spend and tipping staff and think about whether you need catering. HeadBox tip: Many venues will offer package deals that can save you some serious bucks.

  4. Date and Time: When is the event happening? Do you have a specific date in mind? Is your colleague on vacation for the whole of August?

Step 2: Scout the Perfect Location

Midtown spans a pretty big area, so consider which part best suits your needs:

  1. Start your venue search online through HeadBox. Just fill in our brief building with all your necessities and any requests and HeadBox will match you with a plethora of venues that fulfil your needs. Think if Airbnb and Tinder had a baby. And we won't match you with those with bad reviews – no one wants to discover their dream venue has a rat problem after signing the contract.

  2. Don't be afraid to shut the laptop screen and take a stroll around. Sometime the best hidden gems are found by stumbling across them. Or word of mouth can be equally powerful.

  3. Social media can also be a good way to get a personal insight into a venue. Try TikTok-ing 'midtown meeting room' and get a first hand view into some venues.

Step 3: Narrow it down

Now it’s time to decide. Can you your event in these places? Don't be afraid to visit in person. Pictures can be deceiving, so it’s worth taking the time to visit your top choices in person. Seeing is believing! Match with them on HeadBox, slide into those DMs or, if you’re old-fashioned, give them a call. When contacting the bars, be sure to ask:

  1. Availability: Is the date you want open?

  2. Capacity: Can it comfortably fit your attendees, or will it be like cramming sardines into a can?

  3. Private Hire Details: What’s included in the private hire? Are there any restrictions or additional fees?

  4. Accessibility: Think about your attendees. Are they coming by subway, bus, or horse-drawn carriage? Midtown is bustling, so proximity to public transportation is a must.

  5. Ambience: Are you looking for a modern, sleek venue or something with a bit of old New York charm? (Read: exposed brick and vintage chandeliers.)

  6. Other Options: Do they offer food and drink, or can you bring in your own? Test the Wi-Fi speed. Nothing kills a meeting room vibe like a buffering screen. Are the restrooms clean and plentiful, or is there one sad, overworked toilet?

Step 4: Once you're satisfied, Lock It Down!

Once you’ve found the perfect venue, it’s time to seal the deal. Make sure to get everything in writing, from the rental cost to the cancellation policy: Contracts are your friend! Confirm all details: Double-check the date, time, and what’s included. Plan the logistics: Think about transportation and any other details to make your event a success.

Step 5: A final few tips

  1. Plan Ahead: Midtown venues get booked fast. Start your search at least a month in advance, leaving more time for the larger events.

  2. Permits and Insurance: Some venues require event insurance or special permits. Check with the venue manager.

  3. Weather Considerations: If you’re planning an outdoor event, always have a Plan B.

  4. Transportation Tips: Send attendees a guide on how to navigate Midtown. Pro tip: Avoid Times Square unless you enjoy human traffic jams.

  5. Local Eats: Midtown has food options galore. Recommend some local delis or food trucks for lunch breaks. Katz’s Delicatessen, anyone?

  6. Entertainment: After a long day of conferencing, suggest some Midtown attractions. A Broadway show, perhaps?

Conclusion

Finding the perfect conference venue in Midtown NYC is like finding a needle in a haystack, but with this guide, you’re equipped to tackle it. Embrace the hustle and bustle, navigate the skyscraper maze, and you’ll find a venue that makes your event shine brighter than the Times Square lights.

Remember, in Midtown, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere—even if it means elbowing your way through a sea of tourists and dodging taxi cabs. Happy venue hunting!
