The New York Public Library

The quintessential landmark building in the heart of New York City, perfect for weddings, social and corporate events. The legendary library lions, Patience and Fortitude, greet guests as they journey up the magnificent steps on Fifth Avenue. Clients can choose from six spectacular event spaces: Astor Hall, Bartos Forum, the Salomon Room, McGraw Rotunda, the Trustees Room, and the Map Division. All rental fees support the invaluable programs and services that the library provides.

We are the quintessential landmark building in the heart of New York City, and our staff is endlessly attentive and will help make your event spectacular.

The "Sex and the City: The Movie" DVD-release party created a luxe environment that bathed the exterior of the library in hot pink lighting and featured a 100-foot-long pink carpet sprinkled with Swarovski crystals and two 10-foot-tall “brides on stilts.”
