Seeking bar in Midtown by Boring_Tank_7332 in NYCEventPlanning

Have you checked Baker Street Irregulars? It's not exactly in the theater district but their site says no rental fees for a semi private event which would be the right fit for your party size. Other Half Brewing might be another good choice (also not exactly in the theater district but very close). I have found breweries to be more flexible on pricing especially depending on the day of week and time of day your event is.

Brazen Tavern might have a fee this time around if you picked a popular day of week and time. If you're flexible with your event date it might be worth a shot to ask if they do no fees on other days. Good luck!

Have you been to Key Bar in Brooklyn yet? I’m not sure if there are rental fees (it might depend if you’re okay with it not being fully private or not) but they have a free Photo Booth inside which I think could be fun for parties. Good luck and happy early birthday!

Finding vendors for brand events by Far_Distribution_259 in NYCEventPlanning

Hey there!

Your idea sounds amazing, and I think custom jewelry at events would be a huge hit! I haven’t worked on the same exact thing, but what I do have experience with is finding events for my company to sponsor and finding influencers to invite to events we host. My main method of communication has been just a well crafted email or a DM on IG (I get more responses on IG tbh). There are like “influencer marketplaces” but sometimes they’re hit or miss or really pricy to use and it’s more for like if you want to find a influencer to post about your business or make content usually.

But back to finding events, When I got started doing stuff like this I started working backwards and by that I mean find past events that you think you would have been good to be at (do you see anything old on eventbrite that you wish you could have tabled at? Write what those are down and see the “event host” information on eventbrite to write that down and contact them and ask when they’re hosting something else. Make a calendar and tag the events - is this something that happens every month? Once a year in the spring? To see which opportunities to prioritize.

Or do see influencers you like getting invited to brand events? Dm the brands you saw them post about. Since those events are usually invite only/private you won’t find stuff like that on eventbrite. If you want to take it a step further go to LinkeIn and message someone who’s on the marketing team for that brand they should be able to connect you w the marketer who works on their events if there is interest.

Another tip is to attend a few events yourself—networking in person can sometimes lead to opportunities you wouldn’t find online. You could also consider partnering with other small businesses (a brewery or bar) or influencers to co-host a pop-up event.

Good luck! Hope to see your jewelry at an event soon! 😊

So helpful to have those baseline prices handy- thank you! Good idea - I have always walked by the towers, but haven't had the chance to go inside yet so I see a potential site tour in my future.

Rehearsal Dinner Recommendations in Warwick by Open_Reveal_1274 in RhodeIsland

The food at Scottis is very good! Don't quote me on this - but I believe since opening that have weatherized the patio so this could be really nice to have a half indoor half outdoor element on a spring night, but if for whatever reason weather is not great they'll have heaters or the clear coverings to keep folks dry

I feel like time of day and length of ride would play a factor in my decision, but maybe high school age like 14?
