Picture midnight in Westchester: glasses lifted, lights dimmed to a warm glow, a custom countdown rolling across the screens, and your favorite people right where you want them – together. At Mount Kisco Event Center, the New Year’s Eve story writes itself: renovated spaces with retro-modern charm, flexible floor plans, and pro-grade tech that makes every beat (from first toast to final confetti) land on time. With more than 6,000 sq. ft. of venues sized for everything from intimate lounges to full-scale galas, you’re building a celebration on a turnkey canvas.
The rooms that make the moment
Center your night in the Hudson Room – a 2,900-sq-ft showstopper that welcomes ~225 for a reception, 180–200 for banquet with a dance floor, or up to 210 banquet without one. It’s fitted with integrated, professional-grade A/V and can split into Hudson North/South for clever reveals (cocktails → curtain pull → full dance floor).
Across the hall, the Kisco Room (≈1,700 sq. ft.) is the perfect wingman: VIP lounge before dinner, espresso-martini bar after midnight, or a dedicated space for photo moments and late-night bites. For small-format magic, the two Cisqua Rooms (≈714 sq. ft. each) play beautifully as a quiet conversation salon or kids’ corner without breaking your flow.
A look that photographs like a dream
The venue’s warm, refined palette loves New Year’s sparkle. Think layered neutrals and brushed metallics, candle clusters at staggered heights, and low, modern florals that keep sightlines open to the stage and screens. Let the built-in tech do the drama: year-in-review reel during dinner, guest-message montage at 11:45, then the on-screen countdown that syncs perfectly with your midnight toast.
Pacing is everything (and it’s built in)
Because A/V and presentation elements are already in the room – HD projection, retractable screens, high-fidelity sound, and high-speed Wi-Fi – your show flows without a truckload of rentals. That means fewer moving pieces, cleaner sightlines, and a timeline that stays tight even when the dance floor is calling.
Menus with midnight momentum
New Year’s Eve has its own rhythm: sparkle → savor → celebrate. With on-site catering, service styles match the mood – passed bites for a mingle-forward reception, a plated two-course that leaves room for speeches, chef-attended stations for social grazers, and late-night comforts around 11:30 to keep the energy high. (Your coordinator will thread the service cues through your program so nothing steps on the countdown.)
One address, all night (and an elevator ride “home”)
Ease wins the holiday. The event center is part of Hotel MTK, giving your guests on-site accommodations, free parking, free Wi-Fi, and an on-property restaurant & bar – so arrivals are simple and the after-party is a short stroll, not a shuttle. Visiting friends can even make a weekend of it; the seasonal outdoor pool is a sunny reason to come back when warm weather returns.
Pro tips from the planning playbook
- Design for movement. Give each chapter a home base (welcome, dinner, dance, lounge) so the night breathes and the photos tell a story.
- Leverage the built-ins. House projection, screens, sound, and Wi-Fi elevate production without extra clutter.
- Bundle the stay. Lock your room block at Hotel MTK early; holiday dates go fast and proximity boosts RSVP rates.
From the first clink to the final chorus, Mount Kisco Event Center gives you the pieces that matter—flexible rooms, polished A/V, on-site catering, and hotel convenience – so the night feels effortless and the memories last long past midnight.
