Corporate Event Space
A private company dinner, offsite, or client evening — with invoicing and COI.
Private blocks from $495 / 3 hr
Private Event Space NYC
When you book here, the studio is yours alone: one group, one floor, a door that closes. That makes this a genuinely private event space in Midtown Manhattan, in flat blocks from $495 for 3 hours — for dinners, screenings, salons, showers, and gatherings that shouldn't share a wall with a stranger's party.
Overview
Privacy is the feature, not the upsell.
Match Studios offers private event space at 545 8th Ave in Midtown Manhattan: a 750 sq ft loft (Studio 2110) from $495 for 3 hours and an 1,850 sq ft loft (Studio 1720) from $875 for 4 hours, each booked exclusively to one group at a time. Bookings include the full open floor, Wi-Fi, elevator access, and optional furniture and A/V add-ons.
What private means
One booking, one group, a door that closes.
In most 'private rooms' you're renting a partition — the bar noise, the shared restrooms, the server walking through every eight minutes come free. Here, private means the entire studio floor belongs to your event: your guest list is the whole population of the room, your playlist is the only sound, and nobody circulates who isn't yours. For gatherings where the conversation matters — or simply shouldn't be overheard — that difference is the product.
Sole occupancy of the booked floor for the full block
Guest list fully controlled by you at your own door
21st or 17th floor — away from sidewalk visibility
No venue staff stationed inside your event
Event shapes
Dinners, screenings, salons, showers, send-offs.
The open floor takes whatever furniture arrangement your gathering needs. A supper club runs one long table down Studio 1720 with room to spare. A screening pairs the blackout capability with the 4K projector and theater rows. A baby or bridal shower fills Studio 2110 with soft afternoon light and a gift table under the windows. Team farewells, founder dinners, poetry readings, members-only salons — the constant is a controlled room that resets to blank for whoever you are.

Pick your scale of private.
Studio 2110 (750 sq ft, from $495 for 3 hours) suits seated dinners, showers, and salons where twelve to twenty people share one room warmly. Studio 1720 (1,850 sq ft, from $875 for 4 hours) hosts up to 60 with two distinct zones — cocktails on one side, the main event on the other — plus full blackout for screenings and evening atmosphere on demand.
Studio 2110
From $495 / 3 hr
The intimate private floor — window light, warm scale, one conversation.
Studio 1720
From $875 / 4 hr
The full-size private floor — two zones, blackout, up to 60 guests.
Cost logic
Flat blocks beat minimum spends.
Restaurant private dining rooms in Midtown commonly carry $2,000–5,000 food-and-beverage minimums before the room feels justified. Here the room is the bill: $495 for 3 private hours, $660 for 4, $825 for 5 in Studio 2110 — then bring what you want within house rules. A 4-hour private dinner for 16 — the $660 block, four tables, sixteen chairs — lands under $750; add the projector, speaker, and after-event cleaning and the whole evening is still about $972, catering excluded because that choice stays yours.

FAQ
Private event space NYC FAQ
How much does a private event space cost in NYC?
Small private venues in Manhattan frequently price per guest or per hour, with Midtown averages near $396 per hour on marketplace platforms. Match Studios charges a flat block: $495 for 3 private hours in Studio 2110, $660 for 4, and from $875 for 4 hours in the larger Studio 1720 — the price doesn't change with your guest list in Studio 2110.
Is the space really private?
Yes. Your booking is the only booking on that studio floor — there's no shared bar area, no second party across a partition, and no venue staff circulating through your event. Building access runs through the lobby and elevator like any Midtown office building.
What kinds of private events work best?
Seated dinners up to the room's furniture capacity, film and pilot screenings using the 4K projector add-on, showers, salons, readings, small ceremonies, and celebrations that want control over who's in the room. Loud club-style events are the one shape this space deliberately isn't.
Can we set up a dinner with tables and chairs?
Yes. Six-foot folding and cocktail tables are $10 each and folding chairs are $3 each, added during booking. You can run one long banquet table in Studio 1720 or a square of tables in Studio 2110; bring your own linens and tableware or have a caterer handle them with advance approval.
Can we screen a film or presentation?
Add the Cinema 4K projector for $35 or a 55-inch TV on a rolling stand for $20, plus the 500-watt speaker with two microphones for $40 if you need sound for a room of guests. The blackout capability in Studio 1720 makes it the better screening room.
How is this different from renting a restaurant private room?
There's no food-and-beverage minimum and no required in-house catering. You pay for the space by the block — from $495 for 3 hours — then bring what you want within the house rules. For groups that mostly want to talk, present, or celebrate on their own terms, that usually costs far less than a private-dining minimum spend.
What are the house rules for private events?
Light food and non-messy drinks are fine; catering, open flame, smoke or haze, confetti, glitter, and anything that could mark floors or walls needs advance approval. Setup and breakdown happen inside your booked block, and overtime is only possible with studio approval, billed in 30-minute increments.
