Meet the Owner

Latasha is the original and sole-owner of Occasions, which was established in January 2000, making it the longest running, black-female owned banquet hall in NYC. Latasha has transformed a, once abandoned, warehouse into a beautifully designed space that can hold well over 220 guests. She and the hall have stood the test of time and has played a major part in the community. Throughout the years, Latasha has committed herself by providing her time and hall to both her clients and community. Latasha is the lead event coordinator who will bring your visions for your event to life, but she also finds time to volunteer. From work with NY Cares, cooking and serving at local shelters, hosting countless drives to raise funds and supplies for people in crisis, sitting with police directors to invoke change, providing meeting spaces for local businesses as well as space for local community leaders to campaign, and much more, Latasha does it all. For over 23 year, she and the hall continue to be a staple in the community and she is committed to you.
