Corporate events in Manhattan
Galas, celebrations and company events in New York City.
Lisa has planned a corporate event and a gala at The Plaza, a gala at the Edison Ballroom in Times Square and a retirement celebration at Lavan in Chelsea. She manages the quotes, the approvals and the vendor team so your people can host.
Built for how companies work
Procurement-ready, board-presentable.
Corporate clients get the same roadmap as a wedding, compressed to the time available and run to the company's rules. Lisa is comfortable with budgets, procurement and vendor approvals: she gathers quotes, confirms that every partner meets your standards and insurance requirements and keeps one document that tells your team where everything stands.
- One point of contact for the venue, the caterer, the production team and the speakers.
- A run of show that your executives can read in two minutes.
- Design that carries the organization's identity without turning the room into a trade show.
- Lisa on site from load-in to the last guest out.
In Manhattan
Three rooms, three kinds of evening.
- IThe PlazaThe Broadcasters Foundation of America's gala in the Grand Ballroom, and a corporate event in the same house: gold chairs under the chandeliers, a stage between two screens and a clear podium behind white flowers.
- IIEdison BallroomA gala for several hundred guests seen from the balcony: tall pink centerpieces on black tables, orchids on the bar and the evening's name on the stage screen.
- IIILavanAn architecture firm's send-off for its founder, with the firm's buildings projected on the walls. Fast Company asked Lisa about it: “The entire company, former employees, and family members were invited; it was a wonderful evening that truly captured his legacy.”
Questions companies ask
Can you work within corporate budgets and vendor approvals?
Yes. Lisa manages quotes and confirms that every partner meets your company's standards, so your team can focus on hosting. Insurance certificates are collected from every vendor as a matter of course.
What kinds of corporate events does Lisa plan?
Galas and fundraisers, retirement and milestone celebrations, showroom and store openings, holiday parties and client events, in New York City, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
How much lead time do you need?
A gala in a Manhattan ballroom is best planned a year out, because the rooms book early. A smaller celebration has been planned in six weeks. Ask with your date and Lisa will tell you honestly what is possible.
