Casa Duende, Lower East SideManhattan, NYC

Yes, we can coordinate full catering for your booking. Our Concierge team can also help you coordinate additional rentals or activities for your event or offsite, or coffee and snacks for the crew. We work with a hyper-diverse pool of local vendors, for varying budgets. It’s part of our mission.

Absolutely, our on-site Casa Manager will assist you and coordinate the moving of furniture and art as well as the resetting of the space.

Yes – modifications may be made to the facade pending approval from our team. We’ve had many clients customize the facade of the property in creative ways to further accentuate their event themes. We do, however, have a couple of limitations and guidelines to ensure that the original facade is protected during any modifications and that pedestrians and/or neighbors are not affected. Please consult with your Booking Manager about use of the facade to ensure that you can deliver the space back to the property owner in its original conditions.

While the space is not fully sound-proof, the quality and thickness of the walls and windows prevent street noice from being heard from inside the property. Additionally, the street that the property is located on is mostly residential and very quiet. We have hosted many bookings here with certain noise requirements and have not received any complaints from our clients regarding any inconveniences.

There will always be at least one dedicated on-site Casa Manager at each booking. We recommend working with your Casa Manager to coordinate instructions for a smooth arrival and entry for your guests. Whether it’s having someone in the lobby or providing a point of contact for your guests / team, your Casa Manager is available to assist.

This specific property is zoned as mixed use, both residential and commercial. For this reason, we can allow private and corporate events to go until 2AM at this property.

Unfortunately, based on the Mayor’s office guidelines for this type of event venue, no music can be played or performed in the outdoor area.

Yes – there is a working waterfall that can be activated for your event. If you’d like to use this, please discuss with your Booking Manager as we need 48 hours notice to prep everything for the waterfall to operate properly.

While we do not allow usage of the fireplace for any Events, Meetings, or Showrooms due to risk of injury, for specific Media Productions, we may grant permission of usage of the fireplace upon reviewing your shot list and team that will be handling the operation. Usage of the fireplace may only be permitted under Casa Manager supervision.

As per the Mayor’s office, all commercial spaces must end events by 2AM. Media Productions and Meetings don’t have a specific end-time restriction as long as they don’t impact the neighbors. If an Event is taking place on the rooftop, we always ask our clients to be aware of the noise levels so that we don’t affect the day-to-day of our neighbors. Our Casa Manager will always be on-site to help you manage the sound levels so that you can enjoy with your guests without disturbing the neighborhood. As far as equipment is concerned, we don’t have any specific restrictions as long as it doesn’t pose a risk to the property. We do limit the use of smoke/fog machines to those that operate with water-based products only. You will have to notify your Booking Manager in advance if you plan on using smoke/fog machines, any FX tools, and any special equipment that may impact the property. This way, our Team can coordinate as needed and discuss best practices with you beforehand to avoid any damages.

Yes – liquor may be served on the roof. We also have a built-in bar setup on the roof to make this even easier for you!
