FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What types of events work well at Match Studios?

Match Studios works well for private events, brand previews, small launches, networking gatherings, press moments, creator events, intimate celebrations, small showcases, and production-friendly social events that fit a clean studio environment in Midtown Manhattan.

Is Match Studios an event space or an event venue?

Match Studios is a creative event space in Midtown Manhattan that can function as a private event venue for the right small-format event. It is best for polished, flexible gatherings rather than banquet-style events, nightclub events, or large venue productions.

Can I book it as a private event space in NYC?

Yes. The studio can be booked as a private event space in NYC for approved gatherings, brand moments, creator events, small social events, and production-friendly private events. Share your event format, timing, guest flow, vendor needs, and setup plan before booking so the studio team can confirm fit.

Which studio is better for events?

Studio 2110 works best for intimate gatherings, small creative meetings, compact private events, and tighter layouts. Studio 1720 is better for larger layouts, more guests, brand previews, launch moments, A/V, furniture, catering coordination, mingling, and content capture.

Can I use the space for a small event rental in NYC?

Yes. Match Studios can work as a small event space rental in NYC when the event fits the studio format. It is a strong option for small private events, creative gatherings, brand previews, networking moments, and showcases that need a clean Midtown location.

What is included in an event booking?

Your event booking includes the selected studio space for the confirmed time window. Optional add-ons may include tables, chairs, TV, projector, speaker, microphones, A/V items, layout support, and cleaning service depending on the selected studio, booking type, and availability.

Does event time include setup and cleanup?

Yes. Your booked event time includes load-in, setup, guest arrival, the event itself, cleanup, breakdown, and load-out. Please book enough time for vendors, catering, decorations, furniture setup, reset, and trash removal before the booking ends.

Can we bring food, drinks, alcohol, decorations, or outside vendors?

Light food and non-messy drinks are usually allowed. Catering, alcohol, outside vendors, decorations, rentals, large food setups, or event-style service must be discussed before booking and may require additional rules, cleaning, insurance, licensed vendors, or building coordination. Anything that may mark floors or walls, use flame, create smoke or haze, shed glitter or confetti, involve liquids, or require significant cleanup must be approved in advance.

Do events need insurance or a Certificate of Insurance?

Small standard bookings may not require a COI. Larger events, outside vendors, catering, alcohol service, special installations, equipment-heavy setups, or higher-risk uses may require proof of insurance naming the appropriate parties as additional insured. If a COI is needed, Match Studios will confirm the requirement before the booking.

Is there elevator access and how does load-in work?

Yes, the building has elevator access. Load-in details depend on the selected studio, event size, amount of equipment, furniture, catering, outside vendors, and time of day. Please tell us in advance if you are bringing carts, cases, rentals, props, catering, or large items so arrival and elevator use can be coordinated.

Are there noise or sound limitations for events?

Match Studios is a creative studio space inside a Midtown building, not a nightclub or fully isolated event hall. Music, microphones, speakers, and guest volume must stay within building rules and the approved event scope. If sound level, music, speeches, or recording audio are important to the event, discuss the plan before booking.

What is the cancellation, rescheduling, and overtime policy for events?

Event bookings may be cancelled for a full refund within 24 hours after booking confirmation if the start time is more than 48 hours away. After that, bookings cancelled 7 or more days before the start time are eligible for a full refund minus non-refundable processing fees and committed custom or vendor costs. Cancellations made between 72 hours and 7 days before the start time are eligible for a 50% refund. Cancellations made less than 72 hours before the start time are non-refundable. Overtime is not guaranteed and may be billed in 30-minute increments if approved or incurred.

How much does event space cost in Midtown Manhattan?

Marketplace data puts the average Midtown event venue around $396 per hour. Match Studios prices events as flat blocks instead: from $495 for 3 hours in Studio 2110 and from $875 for 4 hours in Studio 1720 with guest tiers up to 60 — so a full evening frequently costs about what one to two hours costs elsewhere in Midtown.

How far in advance should we book an event?

Evening and weekend event blocks are the most requested and are usually reserved one to three weeks ahead. Daytime and weekday events often have nearer-term availability. Book earlier when the event needs catering approval, insurance review, larger load-ins, or a late ending that depends on building access.
