The Edison Ballroom at Edison Hotel, Times Square, Manhattan
Construction cost: $10 million
Located within Edison Hotel at the heart of New York City’s iconic Times Square, the 17,000-square-foot Edison Ballroom is a classic and stylish wedding venue of 3 separate rooms and a maximum capacity of over 300 guests for a seated dinner. It received a complete overhaul, and the interior was renovated with an eye to highlighting the site's original Art Deco elements, while adding other accents to emphasize the 1930s style—even in the tiled bathrooms. Back is the detailed gold-leaf ceiling, which has been restored and repainted, and new are columns upholstered in tufted leather, plush banquettes, glass chandeliers, and backlit glass tiles. A neutral palette of white, black, gray, and brown plays up these details while hiding some of the production equipment.
In addition, the old kitchen was ripped out and a shiny new one was put in with service stations in key areas, and the lighting, sound, and audiovisual systems have been upgraded to theater-grade level. Now on site is an overhead truss rigged with LED and intelligent lighting, as well as an HDTV projector.
