Plan your event

Before you ask

Who are the hosts?

Television personalities, former pro athletes, celebrity chefs, bestselling authors, touring comedians, wellness experts, and other people your guests will tell their friends they met. Your proposal names your host, and you approve them before anything is final.

Where can we host?

Tell us the city, and we find the room and a host who can be there.

What does the price include?

For a dinner: the host, the private room, food and drink with service and tax, a printed menu, and a small gift for each guest. Your proposal lists everything for your event, and the price on it is the price you pay.

How far ahead should we book?

Three to eight weeks is comfortable, and we can often do it in less. Give us the date and we'll tell you if it's tight.

What about allergies and access needs?

Once your date is reserved, you get one link to forward to your guests. Each guest leaves their own allergies or access needs, and we send the list to the host and the room a week before, then again the day before if anyone answers late.

If we cancel, do we get money or a credit?

Money, back to how you paid. Cancel 30 or more days out and the deposit comes back, less any non-refundable deposits we paid the room or host for you, with the receipts. We do not issue vouchers.

Can we pay by invoice and purchase order?

Yes. Add your PO number and billing contact to the proposal and every invoice carries them. Pay by card, bank transfer, check, or wire. Our tax form and insurance details are on the vendor page.

How fast do you answer?

Email gets an answer the same business day. Your proposal comes after our call, as soon as your host and the place confirm.

What is the occasion?

One of eight

What is the occasion?

How many guests?

Any number up to 60, foursomes included. A rough count is fine for now.

Who would you like at the head of the table?

What are your guests into?

Pick up to three. We build the evening around it.

Where, and roughly when?

A flexible date, especially a weeknight, often gets a better room for the money.

What kind of room feels right?

What should this evening do for you?

Who's planning this?

Next you'll see sample events built from your answers.

Are any of these close?

We built these from your answers. Your picks guide our call and don't commit you to anything.
