About this venue

Situated in historic Greenwich Village, this spacious and versatile venue was constructed in the early 1900’s as one of New York’s first parking garages for cars. (The original parapet is still visible and says “Tassi Garage”). The house was bought in the 1960’s by a well known American artist who decorated it with an eclectic mix of architectural antiques. The 2500 foot square Ballroom with its 15 foot high ceiling, painted brick walls and wooden floors is a spectacular setting for weddings. A floating staircase leads to the more intimate Garden Room., which is a veritable greenery with a Neo-Renaissance fireplace, an Art Deco bathroom and a mix of classic and bohemian furniture. Perfect for your dreams-come-true wedding or rehearsal dinner!
