Venue Selection Guide

Guide to Planning an Event for 150 Guests

Choosing the Right Space

Large events with 150 guests require venues with excellent flow between spaces. Consider venues with multiple rooms or flexible layouts that allow for different event phases - a cocktail area for arrivals, main space for dinner or presentations, and perhaps a lounge for continued mingling.

Budgeting Tips

For large groups, negotiate packages that bundle space rental, catering, and bar service. Ask about off-peak discounts and whether taxes/gratuity are included in quoted minimums. Getting three quotes helps ensure competitive pricing.

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.

“Amazing Birthday Experience at Highwater Rooftop! Me and a friend hosted a joint birthday celebration at Highwater Rooftop, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Chris, the owner, was super accommodating and great to work with—he made the planning process easy and stress-free. 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 :)”

“Best rooftop in NYC, I fly in from LA & MIA and this is by far my favorite bar to go to ever. Has great happy hours and delicious bites to eat. Not to mention the staff is so sweet and always recommend drinks that are unique to their space! The views are also to die for by the way :)))”

“Amazing vibes and views. Ricardo was great, and made cocktails that I didn’t even know I wanted! (And would love) Found this place because I am staying at the Indigo hotel, but I will for sure come here again regardless.”

Charlize van Zylat Highwater Rooftop

“We hosted our company holiday party at Highwater Rooftop last night, and it was absolutely amazing! The vibe was perfect, stunning city views, great atmosphere, and such a cool space to celebrate with our team. The food and drinks were a huge hit, especially the creative cocktails. The staff was super friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly, even handling a few last-minute requests like pros. Everyone had such a great time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to celebrate. Thanks to the Highwater team for making it such a memorable night. Highly recommend for any event, or even just a night out!”
