First opened in 1938 by theatrical showman and impresario Billy Rose, the Diamond Horseshoe was known for dinner theaters, vaudeville-style reviews, and a chorus of showgirls called “Billy Rose’s Long-Stemmed Beauties.”
Since being taken over by new owners Blue Note Entertainment Group and dubbed Sony Hall for our 2018 reopening, the landmark space has been restored and now offers a personalized experience for any private event as a full-service venue.
Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan by Times Square, Sony Hall is the place to go if you’re looking for new private event venues that can cater to your every need. With an open floor plan, two full bars and the ability to create a catwalk, as well as an additional center stage, Sony Hall can be reinvented to suit your personalized specifications.
Our venue includes three distinct spaces that can be used to fit your needs for any occasion.
We employ a team of planners who can map out every detail of your experience, whether you’re using our space for business or something personal.
We’ll even help coordinate what food & drink to serve and our onsite chefs will make sure that all appetizers, entrees and homemade desserts satisfy even the pickiest palate.
Our planning team will speak with you in depth to ensure that you get the experience you desire out of your time at our event venue.
With a name like Sony Hall, you know that the state-of-the-art technical system onsite will truly make your event memorable. We’re designed as a concert hall, so you’ll love that our transformative music experience uses 30 speakers to give you the most ideal sound possible.
We also employ a video specialist who can record events of any variety using our 4K remote camera system to capture footage from optimal angles for you to use as you see fit. Our extensive lighting and sound effect capabilities allow your experience to truly personalize our venue.
