Use case

Team Offsite in NYC — Studio Space for Planning Days

Match Studios hosts team offsites at 545 8th Ave in Midtown Manhattan, with meeting and workshop blocks from $295 for 3 hours in the 750 sq ft Studio 2110 and $410 in the 1,850 sq ft Studio 1720, up to a full 8-hour day at $770. Two blocks from Penn Station, the bright private floor comes with Wi-Fi, flexible layouts, and A/V add-ons for planning days, strategy sessions, and team workshops.

Scenario

A planning day that doesn't feel like a Tuesday at the office.

The point of an offsite is the off — getting the team out of the room where the daily grind happens so a different kind of thinking can start. A bright Midtown studio does that better than a hotel meeting room or a borrowed conference space: 12-foot ceilings, natural light, and open floor let a group stand up, move to the walls, and break into corners instead of staring across the same table all day. Match Studios gives distributed and in-office teams a private floor for the day, two blocks from Penn Station so everyone converges without a trek.

Suggested booking

Meeting/workshop block sized for the offsite agenda

Meeting/workshop blocks start at $295 for 3 hours in Studio 2110 and $410 in Studio 1720, with a full 8-hour day at $770. A/V, tables, and chairs are add-ons priced per item.

What it's for

Strategy, planning, and workshops that need room to move.

Offsites take many shapes and the room should follow. A quarterly planning day wants wall space for sticky notes and breakout corners. A leadership strategy session wants a focused boardroom. A cross-team workshop wants a facilitator wall and movable seating. A training day wants classroom rows. The furniture is modular — tables at $10 each, chairs at $3 — so the layout matches the agenda, and A/V add-ons like a projector ($35) or a 75-inch TV ($35) put the deck on the wall. Book the block that covers the full day, including the coffee-and-settle-in start.

Logistics

Easy for a distributed team to reach and run.

An offsite only works if everyone shows up on time, and Match Studios is built for convergence — two blocks from Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall, steps from the A/C/E, a short walk from Port Authority. Team members commuting from New Jersey, Long Island, or Connecticut arrive without a second subway leg, and out-of-town staff have Times Square hotels within walking distance. Order lunch in, run the agenda from morning through wrap, and hand the floor back at block end — no membership, no lease, just the day you booked.

FAQ

Team offsite NYC FAQ

How much does a team offsite space cost in NYC?

Match Studios meeting and workshop blocks start at $295 for 3 hours in Studio 2110 ($99/hr) and $410 in Studio 1720, with a full 8-hour day at $770. Hotel and conference-center offsites in Midtown often cost more once catering minimums are added; here the block is the price and there is no food-and-beverage minimum.

How many people can an offsite space hold?

Studio 2110 suits leadership teams and groups up to roughly 20 in a boardroom or U-shape across 750 sq ft. Studio 1720's 1,850 sq ft handles larger offsites and trainings, with meeting pricing tiered for 1–15, 16–35, and 36–60 attendees.

Is the offsite space easy for a distributed team to reach?

Yes. The studio is two blocks from Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall and a short walk from Port Authority, with the A/C/E under 8th Avenue. Team members from New Jersey, Long Island, and Connecticut arrive without a second subway leg — see the studio near Penn Station page for exact walking times.

What layouts and A/V are available for a planning day?

Boardroom, classroom, U-shape, and theater layouts are all possible — tables are $10 each and chairs $3. A/V add-ons include a 55-inch TV ($20), a 75-inch TV ($35), a Cinema 4K projector ($35), and a 500-watt speaker with two microphones ($40). Wi-Fi supports hybrid sessions and screen sharing.

Can we bring lunch or catering to the offsite?

Yes. Coffee, boxed lunches, and platters come in without ceremony, and full catering is welcome with advance approval so delivery and cleanup are coordinated. There is no food-and-beverage minimum, and the after-event cleaning service ($149) resets the room for you.

How far in advance should we book an offsite?

Weekday daytime offsites often have same-week availability on the real-time calendar. Book one to two weeks ahead for a specific date, and earlier for larger groups in Studio 1720 or days that need a particular layout, catering approval, or a full-day block.
