6 Holiday Venues in Chelsea That Will Take Your Breath Away

This may seem like an odd time to be putting out a blog on holiday parties, but it’s much more well timed than you think! Holiday parties are a big deal and take so much consideration so early on to be able to secure the right venue for the right date.

At Officewell, we understand all of the hassle that comes with putting together a worthwhile event, which is why we brought back our Holiday Party Planning for the second year in a row! We help you plan and secure everything you need, getting you a memorable holiday party without all the fuss. Want us to help you plan your party? Fill out this form and we’ll be happy to help!

To help get the inspiration going, we are starting a new Holidays in July blog series, highlighting different event venues all over New York City! Today we’re focusing on Chelsea, home to beautiful ports and skyline views. These five venues below perfectly capture that energy.

Why Host a Holiday Party at All?

It’s the end of the year, everyone is exhausted from putting in their all for so long. What do you need? A reset. The holidays are about togetherness, cheer, and spreading that good energy to others. Who better to share the holiday spirit with than the team you see every day?

Planning an event like a holiday party can be stressful, it’s true. There is so much to do and think about (especially if you’re not getting Officewell’s help), but seeing your friends and colleagues be able to relax is what makes the final product worth it. That’s what the holidays are all about in the end.

The rest of the venues for today sit along the Chelsea Piers, getting access to the most beautiful views of the Hudson, especially in the evening.

With LED lighting and the sleek feel of the ceiling and wall design, Current has the potential to create a vibrant and lively world of its own.

5. The Lighthouse

Last but not least is the Lighthouse, a larger venue that fits up to 800 people. The Lighthouse certainly uses a more traditional, rustic look with hardwood flooring, open ceilings, and wood ceilings, perfect for embracing a winter cabin aesthetic. Not only that, but the Lighthouse features a glass enclosed terrace, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the scenery while remaining comfortable.
