“Booked LUME Studios for a last minute Vogue shoot which went so well. Dotan, one of the owners, was super responsive and got me a quote within a couple of hours. He worked with us on a great rate… Ori, the Studio Manager, walked us through everything available to us in the studio and made sure everything was set up for us for our shoot… The LUME team was great to work with, highly recommend booking these studios for your next shoot.”
“We recently used LUME Studios for a client video shoot and mock keynote recording, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The space itself is modern, versatile, and visually impressive… What really stood out, though, was the team. Ori and the staff were incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to work with… If you're a speaker, creator, or company looking for a professional space to film content in NYC, I highly recommend LUME Studios.”
“We had a great experience shooting our last music video at LUME Studios. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the space was great for all our needs. Recommend this studio for a variety of different productions or events!”
“One of the coolest venues in NYC in a prime location! The team at Lume are creative geniuses who can transform a blank white canvas into literally anything - fashion show runway, NFT gallery, photo shoot set etc. Having attended several events here over the past few years that were all fabulous, I cannot recommend this spot enough!”
“I have hosted several events here and the venue never fails to impress. People step off the street into this otherworldly space… Because the space is the entire building, it is incredibly versatile… Dotan is fantastic to work with and the space is a real demonstration of his passion for what he does.”
