Venue Selection Guide
Guide to Planning an Event for 50 Guests
Choosing the Right Space
Mid-size events of 50 guests offer flexibility in venue choice. You can opt for a dedicated private room at a restaurant, a semi-private lounge section, or a small event space. Consider how you want guests to interact - seated arrangements foster conversation while cocktail setups encourage mingling.
Budgeting Tips
Balance your per-person budget across food, drinks, and any venue fees. Most venues for this size include beverage service in the minimum. Compare all-inclusive packages against a la carte pricing based on your group's consumption habits.
Day and Time Considerations
Peak times (Friday/Saturday evenings) command premium rates and require earlier booking. For budget flexibility, consider Thursday evening (still feels like a weekend celebration), Sunday brunch (unique and often lower-cost), or even a weekday happy hour. Your guests' schedules and the event's purpose should guide timing.
Questions to Ask Venues
Before booking, confirm: exact capacity limits, what is included in the minimum spend, cancellation/modification policies, deposit requirements, overtime charges, whether you can bring a cake or decorations, AV equipment availability, and accessibility features. Get all agreements in writing.

“I attended two events in this space during NY Tech Week, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere and vibe were excellent, with plenty of games, areas to chat, a stage, beverages, and big, fun graphics on the walls. Highly recommend this venue for events!”
Josica Gat Sugar Mouse
“Had an amazing birthday party here. The art is super cool, the staff was amazing. I was super stressed and in the end everything came together for an incredible night. Vilma was my coordinator and was absolutely incredible.”
Chloe Jadeat G-Gallery

Christina Bat RESOBOX
“For the 2025 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival, 100 Sutton and its staff were kind enough to let us rent their space for some screenings. The place was perfect in regards to atmosphere, accessibility, and capacity. The staff were all incredibly helpful and wonderful to talk to, especially Daniela! Could not recommend this place enough for events!”
