Venue Selection Guide
Guide to Planning an Event for 100 Guests
Choosing the Right Space
Mid-size events of 100 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.

Me and a friend hosted a joint birthday celebration at Highwater Rooftop, and it was a great experience from start to finish.

The venue itself was great and the two floors were spacious and easily accommodated 100+ guests.The DJ was awesome too. Highly recommend Highwater Rooftop to host an event :)”

“One of the best vibes of rooftops in NYC! The view was amazing and the food was also delicious! 😋 Highly recommended as this is always our go to spot whenever we visit NYC! Best time to go is between 6pm -7pm as you can catch the sunset plus if you go late you won’t find table.”
