We held an event at Helen Mills (HM) Event Space on 12/31/2016 for approximately 225 people. We could not have asked for a better experience with the HM event space and their staff. We give the space and staff the highest commendations, and we wholeheartedly recommend this event space and their staff to anyone considering hosting an event here. Beginning with our very first meeting with the HM staff to do a site tour, everyone was very professional, competent, friendly, great at communicating, and an overall pleasure to work with. This remained true throughout the planning process, during the actual event, and through the follow-up and debrief. All of the staff, including the event manager, security, audio/video technician, bartenders, coat check, bussers, and kitchen staff, were incredibly helpful and courteous during set-up, the event, and break-down. The event space itself is spacious (accommodated 225 people easily) and beautiful and has the versatility to accommodate a range of events. It made for an absolutely magical evening for us as organizers and definitely for all our guests! A big THANK YOU to Helen Mills event space and their staff – we definitely look forward to coming back and working with you again!

We held our annual company meeting at Helen Mills. It was a full-day event where we used both the theater space and the event reception room upstairs. The theater provided an intimate and practical setting which comfortably accommodated our group of 100+. The reception space was beautiful and we were given a multitude of options for set-up and unique opportunities for branding/customization. What sets Helen Mills apart from other venues in NYC the most though is the staff and overall planning experience. Every interaction that I had with the staff, prior to, and on the day of our event, was outstanding. They were knowledgeable, highly-responsive, and went the extra mile to help us hold a great event. I would highly recommend Helen Mills Theater and am excited to hold our next event there! -Heather Breslin, Director of Marketing, Steven Winter Associates

This venue was wonderful to work with. Prior to our event, I found much of the logistical information needed could be found on the Helen Mills website, which was extremely helpful with planning. All of my outstanding questions were answered promptly, and thoroughly, by Helen Mills staff. Their onsite staff worked closely with me to make sure guests needs were taken care of the day of our conference. They also went above and beyond to ensure presentations displayed correctly, our timeline stayed on track and even assisted with catering load in. Feedback from conference participants has been glowing, and many have asked if we will be repeating the event at the space next year. If youre looking for a seamless event experience in a great location, book Helen Mills Event Space.

I have been the events field for 10+ years and worked with numerous venues, and venue managers, throughout New York City. Helen Mills not only met but far exceeded expectations. Venue Manager Emily Misskelley was phenomenal. I have grown accustom to venue managers who pop in to open doors, disappear and then pop in once again when its time for the event to begin. Emily was present and available from event setup to break down ready and willing to assist my event production team in whatever way possible. Mark M., head of A/V was phenomenal pleasure to work with as as well and really brought the event to life with lighting and effects. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with Helen Mills again and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an NYC venue.

We recently held a small conference for about 120 people at the Helen Mills Event Space. The event itself was a huge success -- much to the fact that we worked with the Helen Mills team. Ive worked with a number of venues in San Francisco and NYC, and have to say the Helen Mills team is one of the best! Working with Isabelle pre-event and Brittany on-site were wonderful. They catered to all of our needs and paid attention to every detail. The decor, lighting, AV, food, set up were all fantastic. The staff on-site were great too -- they made sure the bar and surrounding areas were clear of empty glasses and plates. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a party, corporate event, conference, etc!

We hosted an event here last week (Jan 2016), and it couldnt have gone better. Weve had great feedback from our delegates and sponsors about the venue - the ambience created by the lights and furniture in the event space was amazing, and created a really buzzing atmosphere, which is always good. I can also highly recommend the falafel slider - so delicious! In the lead up to the event, as well as on the day itself, I had great support from staff, everyone was so helpful and accommodating, and its always so nice to work with people so willing to help make the event a success. Well definitely be looking to come back for the event again next year - thank you Helen Mills!

Absolutely amazing! The best venue I have ever worked with, extremely helpful and personalized service. The Helen Mills staff really goes out of their way to make sure your event is perfect. They worked with us and put together a 140 person event within 2 weeks. The process was extremely smooth and they were upfront about all cost and were great at making recommendations and finding solutions. The event space is beautiful and versatile. Great flexibility with lighting and design. Anything you can think of, Helen Mills can help you make it a reality. Thank you to the entire Helen Mills Team for making our night great!

I was here at the event space and the theater, which was located next door in the lower level. The screening rooms hold about 100-200 people and creates an intimate setting for small talks and Q&A. I thought it was great that they had a place for me to plug in to charge my phone battery against one of the walls in the back. However, internet connectivity was non-existent. The Helen Mills Event Space was very nice - I was here for the Shop for Success event - which was great - they had nice sofas to sit on, and the space can be easily organized in many formats. I look forward to many more events here as well.

We had our Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Memorial Fifteenth Annual Memorial Fund Raiser at the HELEN MILLS Event Space on March 24, 2016. Everyone we worked with there is highly professional and easy to work with. Our event was perfectly executed thanks to their wonderful staff. They went out of their way to make certain our event was seamless. In addition, their warmth, compassion, and empathy for our cause is deeply appreciated. We knew we were in excellent hands and hope to have the pleasure of having our event there again next year.

Kate and the staff at Helen Mills are top notch. Weve held client launch events in the space for two years in a row and would definitely work with this team, and recommend them to others, again in the future. Kate is keen on the small details and making sure everything runs perfectly. Her team is just as personable and lovely, especially the catering staff. The facility is a great space in impeccable condition; they had most every piece of equipment and furniture we needed, which allowed us to stay on budget and create a spectacular event.

I rented out the theater room for my short films movie premiere. The space was perfect. My cast and crew, and all our invited guests, had a really great time. Every seat had a good view, and the film looked amazing on the big screen. I want to especially thank the projectionist and technician Mark Unthank for his expertise and patience in getting the film to play and sound just right. On another note, this is the best deal youll get price-wise for a screening room. Every other theater in the city is two to three times more expensive.
