Manhattan's grand column-free ballroom on the Hudson River waterfront at Chelsea Piers

Pier Sixty

Overview

As the largest waterfront event venue in Manhattan, Pier Sixty offers 20,000 square feet of column-free space on the Hudson River at Chelsea Piers. Floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of the room and open onto a glass-enclosed all-season terrace and the outdoor Veranda beyond, so the river reads as part of the room rather than a view from it. After dark, moreover, the water and the skyline do as much work as the lighting, and the whole room sparkles.

Capacity

Dinners 1,200 | Weddings 850 | Cocktail Receptions and Holiday Parties 2,000 | Classroom Meetings 750 | Theater Conferences 1,600

For seated events, those figures run across Majestic, Oceanic and Aquitania East and West, because Olympic, the All-Season Terrace and the Gallery stay open for cocktail hour and food and beverage service. The full room-by-room chart is below.

Five spaces in one

Soundproof airwalls divide the room into five spaces, so a conference can open with a general session and then break into afternoon tracks behind the walls. Likewise, a social event moves from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner without guests ever leaving the floor.

Production, built in

Audio, projection, lighting and rigging are permanently installed, so a production does not have to be trucked in and rigged from scratch. The systems are built into the building; their use is not included. KVL, our exclusive audiovisual provider, will quote your event.

The rest of the collection

For more intimate footprints within the collection, The Lighthouse offers a light-filled 10,000-square-foot loft, while Current offers a modern 6,000-square-foot room. Both venues also sit on the same Hudson River waterfront at Chelsea Piers.
