From managing complex seating charts to synchronizing multi-course dinners with honoree speeches and live fundraising moments, we’ve perfected the art of service timing. Paired with breathtaking Hudson River views and three distinct venues, it’s why New York’s most influential nonprofits trust us to bring their mission to life in unforgettable ways.

Three Venues. One Mission: Your Success.

Pier Sixty

As New York City’s largest waterfront venue, Pier Sixty seats up to 1,200 guests for a formal dinner. This expansive space, complete with an outdoor terrace and private suites, is designed to handle large-scale galas with precision. From synchronized service during multi-course dinners to managing complex programs, Pier Sixty is the trusted stage for New York’s most high-profile fundraising events.

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse accommodates up to 400 guests for a sit-down dinner, offering breathtaking views of the Hudson River and Statue of Liberty. Its open, light-filled design provides a chic and inviting setting for fundraising dinners and award presentations. With private suites and versatile layouts, it’s perfectly suited for nonprofits ready to take their gala to the next level.

Current

With seating for up to 300 guests, Current is ideal for nonprofits launching a new benefit or hosting an intimate gala. The modern design, floor-to-ceiling windows, and riverfront terrace create a dynamic atmosphere that keeps the spotlight on your mission. Flexible layouts and thoughtful amenities ensure your program runs seamlessly while guests enjoy a stylish evening on the Hudson.

The Menu

At The Pier Sixty Collection, our culinary program is designed to impress even the most discerning New York palates. Each year, our menus are refreshed to reflect the latest trends from the city’s top restaurants—this past season, for example, we reimagined chicken and caviar with our own signature twist. Every gala menu includes an open premium bar from start to finish, complete with cocktail service at each table, and concludes with a seasonal sweet farewell item to send guests home delighted—like our indulgent hot cocoa in the winter. With impeccable American-style service (never outdated French service), our team ensures every guest is cared for and every moment of your program flows seamlessly.

Flavors That Set the Stage

From elegant hors d’oeuvres to multi-course dinners, our menus are created to keep guests engaged and inspired throughout the evening. Each dish is crafted with seasonal ingredients, modern presentations, and the thoughtful touches that make a gala truly unforgettable. Explore our current offerings in the Dinner Menu Gallery and discover why nonprofits across New York choose The Pier Sixty Collection to pair exceptional cuisine with extraordinary events.

A Partnership for Every Year

At The Pier Sixty Collection, we see every gala and benefit not as a one-time event, but as the start of a lasting partnership. Our team invests fully in your success—thinking strategically, suggesting fresh ideas, and treating every request as if the event were our own. We work hand in hand with you to refine and elevate your program year after year, ensuring your supporters are inspired to return and your event continues to grow. It’s this commitment that makes nonprofits and benefit chairs trust The Pier Sixty Collection as their long-term home for fundraising.
