An experiences company. Est. 2018.

A professionally
good time.

We throw parties in New York and around the world. We got so good at it that people started hiring us to throw theirs.

The story

Started by friends.
Staffed by professionals.
Same people.

Frienders Collective is a private event production and experiences company in New York City, founded in 2018, specializing in groups under 150. We produce our own parties in NYC, across the US, and internationally, and we bring the same stack to private events: venues, sound, resident DJs, catering, staff, and an in-house travel desk.

Our crew came up through Brooklyn warehouses, boat decks, and the Burning Man scene of professional partygoers. No one here is new. Everyone is a pro. That is the whole hiring policy.

What we do

Everything the party needs.
Under one roof.

Book the whole production or just the piece you're missing. One crew, one budget, one text thread.

Private Events

Birthdays, weddings, corporate offsites, things that defy category. Full production, hosted by us, thrown for you.

Venues

Partner venues across the city: an East Village ground floor, a Williamsburg bar, a Gowanus hi-fi listening bar.

Equipment Rentals

Electro-Voice and QSC sound, Sennheiser mics, AlphaTheta and Pioneer DJ gear, and lighting packages. Delivered and dialed in.

Resident DJs

Six residents who read a room and pack a floor. Booked with or without our sound rigs.

Catering, Bar & Staff

Catering with our partners at Curated Kitchen, bartenders who can pour through a rush, and event staff for hire.

Party Photography

Photographers who work dance floors, not step-and-repeats. Film and digital coverage of the night the way it actually felt.

The Travel Desk

In-house travel agents who move the whole crew: flights, villas, boats, and ground transport. You pick the destination.

Ephemeral bliss,
timeless memories.

The night ends. The story doesn't.

The DJ cancelled.
We don't.

Day-of cancellations, no-show vendors, unexpected disasters. Our emergency line runs a limited menu at premium prices, and within NYC we can usually have music playing within 3 to 4 hours. If you're in a jam, we can get you out of it.
