How to Host a Cozy Gathering at Spruce
Whether you’re planning a wedding, baby shower, birthday brunch, or any intimate celebration with your closest people—Spruce is the kind of spot that makes your gathering feel truly special. Our bright, plant-filled space right in the heart of Murray Hill has hosted everything from cozy dinners to lively private events, and we love watching it come alive with every celebration.
If you want a venue that feels warm, personal, and just a little bit magical, here’s how to bring your next private event to life at Spruce.
Why Host at Spruce?
We’re not just a coffee shop.
Spruce is a space built around creativity and community. We’re a plant bar, a wine and coffee lounge, and a place for connection—all wrapped into one.
When you rent Spruce, you get access to our beautiful interior filled with lush greenery, cozy seating, moody lighting, and a welcoming vibe that feels both curated and relaxed. We also have our own parking lot - huge win in the historic district!
What’s Included
When you book with us, here’s what you can expect:
Private access to the shop/patio
Tables and seating (we'll help set it up to match your vibe)
Access to our bar for coffee, wine, beer, or non-alcoholic options
Plants + styling that already make the space feel finished
Event Ideas That Shine at Spruce
Baby Showers – Add pastel florals and a grazing table, and you’re set
Bridal Brunches – Toast with mimosas and enjoy a themed latte
Birthday Dinners – Bring in a silent disco + cater in something fun
Weddings – Weddings at Spruce are all about effortless cool — an intimate vibe wrapped in greenery, good vibes, and a space that’s as unique as your love story.
Whatever your occasion, Spruce is a canvas for your celebration.
Styling Tips
Keep it light: Let the space shine by adding just a few thoughtful accents—fresh florals, candles, or linen runners
Use our plants: They’re already here! Lean into the lush, organic vibe
Personal touches: A handmade welcome sign, custom playlist, or handwritten place cards go a long way
Drinks + Sips
Our menu can be customized for your event—think:
Mimosas + Prosecco
Signature mocktails with our herbal teas or cold brew
Espresso drinks (hot or iced!)
Beer + natural wines from small producers
