Why we picked it

A working concert hall with the stage, sound and screens already in place, so a launch or gala with live performance needs far less rented production.

Usually booked for corporate events, holiday parties and product launches, 250 to 900 guests.

About Sony Hall

Sony Hall sits below street level in the Theater District, a 12,000 sq ft Main Ballroom with Art Deco detailing and a starburst ceiling over the room. It runs as a music venue on show nights, which is why the stage, audio and lighting are built to concert standard.

For private events the Main Ballroom takes about 400 for a plated dinner, 750 for a reception and 900 in a concert layout. Two smaller rooms, a Speakeasy behind the main bar and a street-level Upstairs Bar, work for VIP holds or after-parties. The venue lists a full AV package with stage, IMAG screens, lighting and backline.

  • Public concerts are booked on many nights, so date availability is the first question to ask.
  • Stage, IMAG, lighting and backline are part of the house AV package; confirm what is included before bringing in outside production.
  • Catering details differ between sources: the venue lists in-house catering, so confirm whether outside caterers are allowed.
