Midtown III

The Midtown Ballroom is divisible into five smaller spaces, which can be put together in more than a dozen different combinations to create the right-sized space for your event. A logistics meeting is required for all events booked in the Midtown Spaces, and our team will work with you to determine the best layout for your event. The Midtown Ballroom is considered a "Special Use Space". Activities in this space should be distinctive in nature; typical weekly meetings will not be confirmed in this location. All events in the Midtown Ballroom will require a logistics meeting four (4) or more weeks prior to the event.
