Why Venue 412 for Private Events
- 01
Full venue buyout, no shared space
Private events are full venue buyouts. The space is yours for the night with no other parties on the calendar, no shared sections, no walk-in traffic. The entire two-level footprint operates as a single private environment.
- 02
In-house bar and catering
The commercial kitchen and full bar are operated by venue staff. Beverage service, plated dinners, stationed receptions, and late-night bites are all handled in-house. Custom menu development is part of the planning process.
- 03
Two-level configuration for dynamic flow
Reception on the main floor, lounge and conversation on the mezzanine. Or seated dinner upstairs, dancing downstairs. The two levels operate independently, which keeps the energy varied across a long evening.
- 04
Full A/V for music, mood, and announcements
Pioneer DJ booth ready for a host DJ or your own. PA system for toasts and announcements. Lighting rig adjustable from intimate dinner to full-reception energy. Eleven HD displays for slideshows, video tributes, or ambient brand content.
- 05
Discreet and well-staffed
Coat check, two dressing rooms, and dedicated venue staffing for the event. Security can be provided on request. The Broadway address and entry path make discreet arrivals and departures workable for high-profile or private gatherings.

Private Events at Venue 412 — FAQ
- What's included in a private venue buyout?
- The buyout includes the full two-level venue, in-house catering through the commercial kitchen (available as an add-on), the bar program with two full bars and unlimited satellite bars, the complete A/V package (PA, lighting, video matrix, DJ booth), coat check, two dressing rooms, and dedicated venue staffing. Security can be provided on request. Custom menu development is part of the planning.
- Can we bring our own DJ or band?
- Yes. The Pioneer DJ booth and PA system support outside DJs and live music load-ins. Your DJ plays the host booth; your band loads in through the venue's standard load-in path. Sound checks are scheduled before doors open.
- Are buyouts available on weeknights?
- Yes. Sunday through Thursday buyouts are typically more flexible on availability and configuration than Friday or Saturday nights. Weeknight events can sometimes secure shorter lead times and adjusted pricing structures.
- Is the venue suitable for high-profile or invitation-only events?
- Yes. The Broadway address, dedicated entry path, coat check, and discreet two-level layout work for high-profile gatherings. We've hosted invitation-only buyouts where guest privacy was a primary requirement.
