Lower Manhattan Small Event Space
While many venues advertising a Lower Manhattan small event space offer minimalist, industrial settings, 3 West Club delivers something entirely different—classic New York style, steeped in history and layered with architectural beauty. Our venue, built in 1931, is a New York City landmark that exudes vintage elegance from the moment your guests arrive. Rich wood-paneled walls, marble staircases, and gilded chandeliers provide a striking alternative to the exposed pipes and brick walls found in many smaller downtown venues.

All-Inclusive Service for Your Lower Manhattan Small Event Space with a Personalized Touch
When you choose a venue for a small event, the details matter even more, because with fewer people, every interaction, every bite of food, and every transition is more noticeable. At 3 West Club, we’re known for our attention to detail, warm hospitality, and full-service offerings that simplify planning and elevate execution.
While many Lower Manhattan small event space options provide the room and leave the rest to you, our team handles nearly every element in-house. From your first inquiry, our dedicated event coordinators collaborate with you to understand your goals, preferences, and guest list size. We help map the flow of your event, design the floor plan, coordinate with florists and photographers, and manage timing to ensure things run smoothly.
Our catering team is at the heart of what makes events here exceptional. We create seasonal menus with options for formal plated meals, artisanal grazing tables, hors d’oeuvre receptions, brunch buffets, or themed stations. Dietary needs are met with ease—vegan, kosher-style, halal, gluten-free, or allergy-sensitive menus are no problem. Want to include a signature cocktail, custom dessert display, or curated wine pairing? We’ll help bring that vision to life.
But service goes beyond food and furniture. We offer staffing for greeting guests, handling coats, managing AV, and tending bar. Our venue includes microphones, podiums, projection screens, and speakers. We even offer hybrid tech for live streaming or remote participation—perfect for memorials, academic panels, or business meetings where some attendees can’t travel.
Ultimately, we treat your small event with the care and coordination usually reserved for much larger productions. That’s why so many of our clients return for their next milestone, company gathering, or family celebration.
Events That Thrive in Intimate Spaces
Smaller events aren’t lesser events—they often carry more emotional significance, more connection, and more detail-oriented planning than grand affairs. That’s why we’ve carefully created a range of rooms and services that match the unique energy of your occasion.
Family Celebrations & Milestones
Whether it’s a 50th wedding anniversary, retirement gathering, bat mitzvah, or small wedding, we understand the importance of marking life’s major moments. Our warm, gracious spaces create the right tone for joyful toasts, storytelling, and shared meals. We can arrange banquet seating, lounge areas, or dining + dance floor layouts depending on your preferences.
Corporate Dinners & Private Meetings
Executive meetings and C-suite strategy retreats are often best held in quiet, elegant spaces that support both privacy and professionalism. We provide discreet, polished environments for board meetings, quarterly reviews, or client appreciation dinners. We also support multi-day events with sleeping rooms onsite and meals catered throughout.
Nonprofit Roundtables & Networking Events
Looking to gather donors, staff, or community partners for a discussion or strategy session? Our small event spaces are excellent for intimate engagement. We’ll help you make your cause the focus, without having to worry about logistics, tech, or hospitality.
Creative Workshops & Cultural Gatherings
Artists, authors, and performers have found our Solarium and Salon to be ideal for book signings, intimate showcases, listening sessions, and workshops. With beautiful natural lighting, flexible layouts, and full-day rental options, you can turn your vision into a serene and supportive space to share your work.
When you’re looking at a Lower Manhattan small event space, it's important to ask: Will this venue honor the scale of your gathering with the same level of care it offers to larger events? The answer is always yes.

A Midtown Location that Maximizes Comfort and Convenience
One of the biggest challenges with smaller venues in Lower Manhattan is access. Tightly packed streets, limited public transit options, and expensive nearby parking often make arrival and departure difficult for guests. Your guests experience none of that stress.

For out-of-town guests, we’re walking distance from some of the city’s best hotels. For locals, we’re close enough to everything to keep Uber rides short, and far enough from the congestion to stay calm.
Planning a multi-day event? Our venue offers 28 overnight guest rooms with vintage charm and modern comfort. This allows guests to relax onsite, making your event even more convenient and connected.
