The Edison Ballroom

The Edison Ballroom has a long and colorful history. Located in the heart of Times Square, it was originally opened in the 30’s as the grand ballroom for the Hotel Edison.  It was constructed in a classic “art deco” design, and offered dining and dancing to its patrons, while featuring many famous bands and singers from the “Swing Era.”  A generation later, the Edison Ballroom was converted to the Edison Theater, where various Broadway theatrical productions were offered.  In 1991 the Edison Theater gave way to “The Supper Club”, which offered its patrons dinner and dancing to the music of various “big-band” style orchestras, and which hosted various private, corporate and charitable events. The Supper Club hosted its final event in May, 2007.

In May, 2008, following more than $5 Million in renovations, the venue was reopened by its new management and was renamed “Edison Ballroom” to conjure up some of the former glory of this venue.

With its exquisite art deco style, blended with a touch of modern design, this 17,000 square foot venue is perfect for hosting a wide array of private functions, including weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, charity events, and corporate parties.  It has an extra large dance floor, a 40-foot stage, it contains two separate kitchens, and is equipped with the most modern lighting and audio/visual features in the industry, including an 18 foot screen, and 14 high-definition plasma monitors.

Edison Ballroom easily seats 500 guests, and can host up to 1,000 attendees for standing receptions.  Its mezzanine level is perfect for hosting cocktail receptions prior to seating guests for dinner on the main floor.
The venue also includes a VIP lounge, perfect for entertaining bridal parties, dignitaries, or for use as a photo shoot area during or after your special event.

This elegant, gracious space, in an ideal location is the perfect setting for your private function. The Edison Ballroom’s team of professionals will work with you to make your affair a truly memorable occasion.  For reservations or information call (212) 201-7650 or email info@edisonballroom.com.
