Sankofa Haus

Sankofa Haus is a multi-purpose event venue in Mott Haven, South Bronx, offering organisers a characterful setting for private celebrations, business functions and community gatherings. The 2,421-square-foot space has a contemporary look shaped by glass sliding doors, skylights, greenery and bright walls that can be adapted to suit different event styles. Its cultural inspiration and welcoming atmosphere make it suitable for both lively celebrations and more intimate occasions.

The venue hosts weddings, proms, baby and bridal showers, birthdays, retirement parties, panels, pop-up shops and wellness sessions. Organisers can make use of three spaces included with bookings: the main event and cocktail areas, which together accommodate up to 85 seated or 120 standing guests, and the Sankofa Suite, a private room for smaller groups of up to eight. The suite also offers a quieter, more private place within the venue.

Practical facilities include a preparation kitchen, media room and Wi-Fi, while outside caterers are welcome. Sankofa Haus also offers event packages with access to experienced professionals, including planners, day-of coordinators, DJs, officiants, florists, caterers, photographers and videographers. This gives organisers flexibility to bring in their own suppliers or explore support through the venue’s network. Located on Third Avenue, the space is positioned for guests travelling from across the Bronx, other New York boroughs and nearby New Jersey and Connecticut. Its adaptable rooms and range of event options make it a useful setting for organisers seeking an intimate venue with room for different formats.
