The Astor House

The Astor House is a historic townhouse venue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, offering private rooms for weddings, social celebrations and business events. Its traditional interiors give gatherings a distinctive New York setting, while a seasonal garden and outdoor terrace provide space for ceremonies, photographs, lunches and drinks receptions.

The venue welcomes couples planning weddings and related occasions, including engagement parties, rehearsal dinners and post-wedding brunches. It hosts one wedding at a time and can accommodate different guest numbers depending on the rooms and layout selected. Families can also enquire about showers, birthdays, christenings, bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversaries and memorial gatherings.

For corporate organisers, the house can be used for meetings, training sessions, seminars, retreats, company dinners and staff parties. Several rooms can be configured for different event formats, with smaller spaces available for breakouts or hospitality use. Audio-visual equipment and wireless internet are available for business functions, and the venue has passenger and service lifts between floors.

Organisers can choose a room for a smaller gathering or discuss hiring more of the house for a larger occasion. The Astor House also considers galas, trade shows and production bookings. Its events team offers planning support, while in-house catering and service staff can assist with food, drinks and event logistics. Located close to public transport and nearby places of worship, the venue combines a landmark townhouse atmosphere with practical facilities for a wide range of gatherings.
