ELM by Atelier Collective is a two-level SoHo event venue that combines historic downtown texture with a clean, adaptable layout. White brick, wood floors, lofty ceilings, skylights and retractable glass doors bring warmth and natural light into the space, creating a polished setting for weddings, corporate dinners, product launches, fashion events, art programs and creative productions. The connected floors allow planners to build a layered guest experience with one area dedicated to arrivals or cocktails and another arranged for dining, presentations or dancing. Architectural character gives the venue a finished look, while the neutral palette leaves room for floral design, branded installations, custom lighting and temporary displays. Whether styled minimally or transformed for a larger concept, the space retains a distinctly SoHo identity that feels elevated without becoming overly formal.
The venue accommodates up to 225 standing guests or approximately 125 seated. Street-level access, an elevator and straightforward load-in support event teams, while mobile bars, a catering kitchen, audiovisual capability, Wi-Fi, climate control and restrooms cover essential planning needs. Outside caterers may be used, giving hosts flexibility over cuisine, cultural service requirements and presentation style. The combination of natural light and multiple connected environments also makes ELM useful for daytime programs that transition into evening receptions. Its Lafayette Street location places guests close to SoHo, Nolita and downtown transportation. ELM is a versatile Manhattan venue for hosts seeking architectural character, professional event infrastructure and the freedom to create a customized experience across two complementary levels.
