Terrace on the Park hosts weddings, social celebrations and corporate events in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, New York. The venue works with ten indoor and outdoor spaces, from rooftop and penthouse ballrooms to garden suites, and cooks everything in-house. Capacity figures sit in its brochures, so ask for the spec sheet that matches your guest count.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents ten indoor and outdoor spaces for business use, all wired for corporate events. The official list of formats covers sales meetings, press briefings, stockholder meetings, conferences, seminars, product launches, awards events, luncheons, team building, trade shows, executive conferences, corporate retreats, fundraisers and holiday parties. Rooftop cocktail parties and barbecues are also on the list.

The venue notes that some of these carry additional fees, so confirm what is included in your quote. A corporate brochure gives the capacity and square footage of each ballroom, suite and outdoor space. Request it before you shortlist rooms.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the core business here. Terrace on the Park offers five ceremony settings: a private indoor chapel, three outdoor garden bowers on the park level, and a rooftop wedding pergola set among landscaped gardens about 20 floors above the surrounding streets. Receptions can follow in the rooftop and penthouse ballrooms or in the garden suites and pavilions.
A bridal suite with a personal attendant is available. The team also handles bar and bat mitzvahs, sweet sixteens, quinceaneras, communions, christenings, anniversaries, showers and graduations, so the staff is used to large family guest lists.
Rooms and capacities
The venue describes three groups of spaces. The penthouse and rooftop level has panoramic views, with floor-to-ceiling windows in the penthouse. The ballrooms also have floor-to-ceiling windows. The park-level suites, pavilions and gardens include private dining rooms and lounges that open to the outdoors.
The website does not print guest capacities. Its discount offers refer to groups of 75 to 125 and of 126 and more, which gives an idea of the party sizes it handles, but the real limits per room are in the brochure and on the 360-degree tour.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The culinary team builds custom menus around your preferences and the type of event. Table wine service, a champagne toast, menu cards, seating cards and a choice of linen colors are listed. An on-site banquet manager and maitre d' run the day.
