Rumi Event Space is a 9,000 square foot venue in Manhattan that hosts large corporate events, product launches, fashion shows, performances and film shoots for 100 to 600 or more guests. It is on the ground floor at 229 West 28th Street, New York, and is equipped with a stage, LED screens, a sound system and a catering kitchen.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists large-scale corporate events, product launches, fashion shows, mixed media events, performances and film among its specialties. A built-in stage, a dance floor and a green room give a company the elements of a conference or launch without bringing in a staging crew. Seven hundred square feet of customizable LED screens can carry branding, presentations and video. An A/V technician is available on site, and the venue publishes a detailed technical specification.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not mention weddings. It names bar and bat mitzvahs among its specialties, and the room is set up as an entertainment space for large celebrations with a dance floor and DJ equipment.
Rooms and capacities
The main space covers 9,000 square feet and accommodates 100 to 600 or more guests. The site shows a floor plan and a side room, and a green room sits next to the stage. The technical specification covers the stage LED wall, an upstage wall and a DJ wall, a front-of-house screen, and two handheld wireless microphones plus one wired microphone.
The sound system is a Funktion-One installation with monitoring at the booth. Lighting includes moving beams, wash and spot fixtures, strobes, LED bars and pixel tape, driven from dedicated control consoles. In-house DJ equipment includes Pioneer mixers and players and Technics turntables. Special effects include a confetti blaster and overhead CO2 jets.
Catering
An on-site catering kitchen serves events held in the space. The site does not name a catering partner or give menus, so organisers should confirm whether outside caterers are allowed when requesting a date.
History and setting
The site describes the room as an entertainment space built with organic architectural elements, with warm, authentic finishes. It lists a clients page and a gallery of past events. The venue takes private event requests through Tripleseat.
