160 Central Park West

160 Central Park West is a historic event venue on Manhattan's Upper West Side, directly opposite Central Park. Set inside a restored neo-Gothic church, it offers an atmospheric setting for weddings, galas, corporate gatherings and other special occasions. The architecture gives the venue a distinctive character, with soaring arches, stained-glass windows and a dramatic sanctuary, while recent renovations have added modern sound, lighting and audiovisual capabilities.

The main space can be arranged for different event formats. The venue's published capacities include up to 150 guests for a ceremony, dinner and dancing, 250 for a seated reception, 300 for a standing reception and 400 in theatre-style seating. Organisers can therefore consider it for ceremonies and receptions as well as presentations, celebrations and industry events. Its central Manhattan location also places it close to Central Park and the Upper West Side's transport and accommodation options.

Event planning and hospitality are supported in partnership with Purslane, which provides catering at the venue. Purslane's food service focuses on seasonal ingredients and sustainability, with menus suited to a range of tastes and event styles. The venue's combination of historic surroundings and contemporary technical facilities gives event planners scope to shape the space around their programme, from a formal ceremony to a larger reception or presentation. Organisers can contact the team to discuss availability and the arrangements for their event.
