Venue Selection Guide

Guide to Planning an Event for 200 Guests

Choosing the Right Space

Large events with 200 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 Mediterranean escape! The service was flawless, and the ambiance transported me far from the busy city streets into a serene wonderland. The food portions were generous, and every bite was perfection. Highly recommend for an unforgettable dining experience!”

Candace Cozierat Skinos

Skinos has an outstanding vibe that you immediately notice when you walk in. The staff is quick and attentive to your needs. Top level service that you rarely find anywhere else. The food was equivalent to what you would actually find in Greece. It was absolutely perfect, the quality, the flavor, every dish far exceeded my already high expectations. Treat yourself to a night at Skinos and enjoy everything they have to offer!

Bárbara Bertoldoat Skinos

Skinos is an excellent spot for celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying a delightful dinner. This was my second visit, and I thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. The food is well-portioned, allowing for an appetizer, main course, and dessert without feeling overly full. Each dish is beautifully presented, matching the stunning decor of the restaurant, which is also perfect for photos. This time, I had the surf and turf; the steak was juicy and cooked to perfection, and the lobster was equally tender. The shrimp appetizer was so delicious that I’m eager to return and try the pasta next. I savored every bite of the lava cake dessert. The owner and manager also care that you enjoy your experience. I’ll definitely be back to try brunch and more dinners in the future.

Stedine Laroqueat Skinos

Skinos is one of the most beautiful and idyllic restaurants I have been to in NYC. Perfect for a romantic date, a brunch or dinner date with the girls, or a birthday celebration, Skinos offers top-tier decor and ambience, amazing food and drinks, and very pleasant, attentive and efficient staff. I decided to try it for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by the large portions and how good the food was. They offer a brunch entree and a complimentary drink for $32 (+$7 for steak & eggs) and also offer a bottomless drinks option. They have two spacious floors, with the upper floor having more intimate seating areas and even a large outdoor area. Skinos is a 10/10 experience that definitely lives up to expectations and needs to be enjoyed!! They also offer a 3-course lunch special for $33 (add-ons for certain dishes) and great happy hour drink deals during the week.!!
