We were so happy we chose High Line Car House! The space is the perfect combination of industrial brick but also high quality finishes and a great layout. We found Together and Company, their in house caterer, to be easy to work with and were super happy with how everything turned out. Jackie, our point of contact and day of coordinator, was really great to work with. She was on top of everything we needed the day of and knew exactly when to step in to provide direction and when to step back. We would highly recommend High Line and their team!

I hosted a botanical workshop, *Winter SUCC’s,* at **The Century**, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue! From start to finish, the team was incredibly accommodating and professional, ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly. The space itself is stunning—spacious, well-lit, and full of character. It provided the perfect backdrop for our workshop, where participants created unique succulent gardens in a warm and inviting environment. The versatility of the venue allowed us to set up comfortably and still have room for guests to mingle and enjoy themselves.
