Space 54: A Completely Customizable & Transformable Event Space in the Heart of Manhattan
Centrally located in the heart of Manhattan, the newly designed Space 54 offers the ideal setting for your next big celebration or corporate event. Space 54, which opened in September of 2019, is an all-inclusive event venue tailored to host an array of large-scale events from Sweet 16s, mitzvahs, birthdays, and nightlife events to corporate team-building or charity events, school fundraisers, proms, formals, camp reunions, and more.
The chic and stylish venue can hold up to 265 guests and features 4,500 square feet of newly designed event space, including an exquisite 19-inch marble bar in the cocktail area, a state-of-theart sound system, intelligent lighting, coat check, security, A/V connections, LED panel ceilings, and multiple projection screens—all the necessities to make your party a premier multimedia experience.
Space 54 doesn’t just offer you a place to host your event, it also includes event planning and production services, premium entertainment contacts, a variety of décor options, diverse catering and customizable menus, and an onsite food truck. Chef Gilbert Delgado’s cuisine demonstrates a mastery of classic culinary methods while utilizing modern techniques for a menu as inspiring and dynamic as the multicultural diversity of the United States.
Chef Gilbert Delgado formerly worked at Kenmare, Del Posto, and was a contestant on Food Network’s "Chopped." Space 54 is the second event venue from owners James and Elvira Grau, who also own and operate Space in Englewood, New Jersey. James is an Emmy award-winning television producer, and Elvira, who serves as creative director of both venues, was born in Ukraine and later immigrated to the USA, where she built her business from scratch. Before entering the world of event production, she worked as a marketing and public relations executive, managing Fortune 500 clients, which has given her a unique edge and perspective in the work she does now with Space 54.
Elvira, who has four children with James, is a firm believer that women really can do it all. "I wanted to create a beautiful, clean, safe, climate-controlled environment that's conducive for both kids and adults.
"When she opened her first venue, Space, in 2005, she did so when discovering an empty, 26,000-square-foot warehouse and envisioning a one-of-a-kind, fantastical entertainment and private events space. The destination has hosted some of the biggest and most outrageous celebrity events, birthday parties, and celebrations, and is New Jersey’s largest all-inclusive event space.
"I wanted to create a beautiful, clean, safe, climate-controlled environment that's conducive for both kids and adults. It's been almost 20 years of celebrating incredible milestones and unforgettable memories," says Elvira. "I’m truly humbled to offer platforms for families to love, share, and celebrate!"
