Give us your best elevator pitch!

Enjoy OFFSITE with a view (of the Empire State Building)! Like all OFFSITE locations, quality and convenience is a top priority. At OFFSITE Loft, clients enjoy the private and exclusive turnkey experience they’ve come to know and love from us. Access to OFFSITE Loft includes luxurious and comfortable seating, state-of-the-art technology, snacks, beverages, office supplies and a full staff to support it all at no extra charge. Designed to impress, inspire and accommodate, the airy, three-room loft space in the heart of midtown comfortably hosts up to 35 guests for collaborative meetings, client events and creative teamwork.

What would you say is OFFSITE Loft’s most unique offering?

At OFFSITE Loft – as with all OFFSITE locations – we only serve one client at a time, ensuring unparalleled quality of service for meetings and events. While it’s common for venues to have rooms for rent with shared common areas, OFFSITE guests enjoy private access to the entire space from the duration of their event. Of course, this exclusivity comes with the kind of creative freedom and support that is lacking from so many traditional venues, making OFFSITE spaces stand out in a league of their own.

What do you think would surprise most planners to know about your space?

OFFSITE Loft is true turnkey experience that simplifies the meeting rental process without sacrificing quality or amenities. Included at no extra charge at every OFFSITE Loft meeting is the entire venue with customized setup, state-of-the-art technology and full tech support, snacks, beverages, office supplies, a dedicated event coordinator and a hospitality staff. We take care of our clients through and through, so that they can take care of and focus on the business they are here to do.

What is one thing you wish more event planners knew about your space?

Some things cannot be expressed in words; the truth is, OFFSITE has to be experienced to be fully understood. The majority of our business is from repeat clients who simply can’t go back to hosting meetings in traditional spaces once they’ve experienced what we offer. OFFSITE Loft is more than just a space – it’s an experience for companies who understand that important developments happen face-to-face in an environment that is thoughtful and optimized for the way people work at their best. Every aspect of the space and service offering has been designed to exceed expectations.

What is the most memorable thing you’ve seen an event do with your space?

Our February opening event was really special for us, as it was the first time we saw OFFSITE Loft come to life with precisely the fluidity we envisioned from the beginning. A Friday afternoon happy hour, we enjoyed connecting with old and new friends and clients while moving from room to room, doodling on our 30’ of writeable glass wall, watching our photo gallery on the LEDs, snacking on hors d’oeuvres and pacing to great music, all while enjoying the skyline of a crisp workday soften as the sun set on a productive week. It was exactly how we would want a client to experience the space. Hosting our own first OFFSITE Loft event actually put us into the shoes of our clients and their guests and provided a very important and affirming view of our business.

If you could throw one dream event, what would it be?

OFFSITE Loft is an intimate space with big functionality. We have the midtown backdrop, the comfort of the venue itself, and the high-end A/V system – hosting a private acoustic set of a band we love for friends and family would be a dream.

This weekly series spotlights venues that can accommodate groups large or small for private and corporate events, conferences, meetings, weddings, business dinners, team building activities, cocktail parties, and more.
