Overview

A company holiday party the team actually looks forward to.

Match Studios rents its Midtown loft floors at 545 8th Ave as holiday party venues for company year-end events, with flat event blocks from $495 for 3 hours in Studio 2110 and from $875 for 4 hours in Studio 1720 for up to 60 guests — two blocks from Penn Station, catering-friendly, with no food-and-beverage minimum. It is a bright, photogenic private floor rather than the back room of a restaurant, which is why year-end teams book it early.

Book by October

December fills first — lock the date now.

The single most important fact about a company holiday party is timing, and not the party's timing — the booking's. December is the most contested month of the year for every event venue in Midtown, and the desirable Thursday and Friday evening slots go first. Teams that reserve a date in early autumn get their pick of room, time, and format; teams that wait until November compete for whatever is left, often at a premium. The move is simple: lock the studio and the date now, then finalize catering, headcount, and the run-of-show closer to the event. A refundable-window booking policy means committing early costs you nothing but secures the date.

December Thursday and Friday evenings book earliest
Reserve the date in early autumn, finalize details later
Company invoicing and COI arranged ahead of the date
Late bookers compete for leftover slots at higher demand

Who it's for

Year-end events for teams, departments, and companies.

This is a corporate-first holiday venue. It suits a whole-company party in Studio 1720, a department or agency team gathering, a startup's first proper year-end event, or a client-appreciation evening to close the year. The bright loft photographs beautifully for the team photos that end up on the company page, and the flat-block pricing makes it easy to get a party budget approved without a per-head venue minimum inflating the number. For smaller teams, Studio 2110 keeps a dinner-scale group in one warm room.

Whole-company holiday parties up to 60 guests
Department, team, and agency year-end gatherings
Startup and small-business holiday events
Client-appreciation evenings to close the year
Post-work seasonal receptions and cocktail hours

Food, drink, and setup

Bring the caterer, keep the budget.

The venue costs that quietly balloon a holiday-party budget are the per-person catering minimums, and there are none here. Light food and drinks come in with you; full catering is welcome with advance approval so delivery and cleanup are coordinated with the building. Add a 500-watt speaker with two microphones ($40) for toasts and a playlist, a projector ($35) for a year-in-review slideshow, and tables ($10) and chairs ($3) for the layout you want. The after-event cleaning service ($149) means the team leaves when the party ends, not after the cleanup.

Corporate Event Space NYC

The year-round version — offsites, trainings, and client evenings in the same floors.

Private Event Space NYC

From $495 / 3 hr

A fully private floor for smaller, more intimate year-end gatherings.

Event Space Midtown

Compare every event format across both studio floors.

Location

Two blocks from Penn Station, easy after work.

A holiday party at 6pm on a weekday needs to be reachable for a team scattering from offices across the city and suburbs. Match Studios is two blocks from Penn Station and Moynihan Train Hall, steps from the A/C/E, and a short walk from Port Authority — so staff heading home to New Jersey, Long Island, or Connecticut can celebrate and still catch their train. Guests arriving from other offices converge on one central address rather than trekking to an out-of-the-way venue.

FAQ

Holiday party venue NYC FAQ

How much does a holiday party venue cost in NYC?

Midtown venues commonly average around $396 per hour for event-grade space, and many add per-person catering minimums. Match Studios is a flat block: $495 for 3 hours in Studio 2110, $660 for 4, and from $875 for a 4-hour party for up to 60 guests in Studio 1720 — with no F&B minimum, so the catering budget stays yours.

When should we book a company holiday party?

Book by October. December dates are the most contested of the year across every Midtown venue, and the best Friday and Thursday evening slots go first — teams that lock a date in early autumn get their pick, while late bookers compete for leftovers. Reserve the studio, then finalize catering and the headcount closer to the date.

How many people can the holiday party venue hold?

Studio 1720 hosts up to 60 guests across 1,850 sq ft with room for a food table, a lounge zone, and a dance-floor-sized open area. Studio 2110's 750 sq ft suits smaller team dinners and department gatherings where everyone stays in one conversation.

Can we bring our own food, drinks, and caterer?

Yes. Light food and drinks come in with you, and full catering is welcome with advance approval so delivery and cleanup are coordinated. There is no food-and-beverage minimum, so you control the menu and the spend — add the $149 cleaning service to skip the end-of-night reset.

Can we play music and decorate for the holidays?

Yes. Bring a playlist or add the 500-watt speaker with two microphones ($40) for toasts and music. Decorations are welcome within house rules — no confetti, glitter, or open flame beyond candles without approval, and nothing that marks walls or floors.

Can you invoice our company for the holiday party?

Yes. Company invoicing can be arranged for team and corporate holiday bookings, and a Certificate of Insurance is available on request. Flag both at booking so paperwork is settled well before the event — especially important in December when lead times are short.
