Why NYC is different

Private events, indoor venues, no permits.

We mostly do private events in NYC — birthdays, brand parties, hotel activations. Permits aren't required here (one less thing to plan). The crew flies in for the right event. For regular bookings we work with local artists who know the city.

Most of our NYC work is 50–200 guests, indoor venues, evening events. Same crew model as LA. Same custom flash. Same aftercare kit your guests walk out with.

How NYC works

The four things that make NYC easy.

No permits, a deep local artist pool, and a city that knows what a private event is.

01

No permits required

NYC trusts your venue's health code. No city permit, no health department filing. One less thing on your planning list.

02

Local artists + fly-in crew

For regular bookings we work with a vetted roster of NYC artists. For bigger brand work, the LA crew flies in. You get the system either way.

03

Hotel activations, closed to public

Most NYC work is private and indoor. Hotels, residences, branded suites. Your guests, your guest list, your vibe.

04

2–3 week lead time

NYC books up. We can move fast on private parties with 2–3 weeks notice. For custom flash and bigger crews, plan 6+ weeks out.

Neighborhoods & venues

Where we work in NYC.

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens. Hotels, residences, branded spaces. We've done them.

SoHo & Tribeca

Loft spaces, gallery-style events, and brand launches. Walk-up townhouses and ground-floor retail both work.

Midtown hotels

The Plaza, The Carlyle, The Standard. Hotel activations are our bread and butter in NYC — private suites, ballrooms, full buyouts.

Williamsburg & Brooklyn

Wythe Hotel, industrial venues, rooftop parties. Brooklyn runs younger and louder. We staff accordingly.

Meatpacking & West Village

Cipriani, the High Line end, smaller boutique hotels. Tight spaces, high expectations. We fit in.

Upper East Side residences

Private apartments, milestone birthdays, anniversary parties. The crew shows up, sets up, leaves no trace.

Hudson Yards & the High Line

Brand HQ events, corporate off-sites, modern venue spaces. Closer to the West Side highway, easier load-in.

Recent NYC work

What we've been doing in the city.

Recent activations in NYC include brand launch parties, hotel VIP experiences, and private celebrations. The work moves fast here, and the city's roster of venues keeps the briefs interesting.

Most projects are 50–200 guests, indoor, evening. We've tattooed inside hotels, private residences, and branded suites. Same crew model, same aftercare kit, same custom flash approach as our LA work.
