Before the salad hits the table. Before the keynote takes the stage. Before anyone posts on LinkedIn. Your guests already know, this isn’t just another corporate event. This is the night that changes everything.
While you’re serving rubber chicken and small talk, your competitors are creating experiences that actually move business forward.
They’re compressing six months of relationship-building into single evenings. Turning ‘let’s circle back’ into signed contracts. Building the trust that closes deals.
They smile. They shake hands. They even thank you.
But they’re already planning their exit before dessert arrives.
We don’t do events. We craft experiences that hijack attention, spark authentic connection, and create stories people tell for years.
Since that first legendary Jazz Fest surprise party in New Orleans, where cops “arrested” the birthday boy only to lead a second-line parade, where George Porter Jr. appeared like magic, where guests flew in from Stockholm without telling anyone, we’ve known one truth:
People don’t remember what you spent. They rememberhow you made them feel.
We find your red thread, that invisible line connecting your purpose, your people, and the transformation you’re after.
Then we weave it through every single moment and create the magic your event deserves.
Our events don’t just happen, they create stories worth telling. Here’s what attendees and partners had to say
Working with and hiring Clandestine to help produce and execute our reception was one of the best decisions we made while planning our event. They were extremely professional, organized, enthusiastic and prepared. With an abbreviated planning window they created unique and custom ideas to help bring our vision to life, managed all vendor logistics and communication, helped keep us to the agreed-upon budget and were extremely adaptable when needing to problem solve and find quick solutions. In hiring their team we were confident we could rely on them during our busiest time of year to stay on top of all of the details, help follow up with us to meet deadlines and not only get the job done but get it done in the best way possible. They exceeded all expectations – we couldn’t have been more impressed with their work and are extremely grateful for their time and services. They are an all-star organization!
Clandestine did a FANTASTIC job – frankly, they blew the effing doors off (to quote Michael Caine) and we LOVE them. Supreme client service, backed up with edgy creative, solid event management and a great sense of humor. There is not a curved ball they cannot catch! I could not recommend them more highly. Thanks to Chrisy, Kelley (and Steve in the shadows) for all you do for us. We love you! Here’s to the next one!
CLANDESTINE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! If I could give them a 10 star review I would. Kelley and Steve are very professional and easy to work with. They go above and beyond in all that they do. They put together a work event for my company at the Orpheum Theater; the place looked magical. We had over 200 guest and they all mentioned that this is a night they would never forget.
With less than a week to finish planning a corporate retreat in New Orleans, I happened across Clandestine Events and reached out to them to see if they could help. Clandestine’s Kelley Troia was a miracle worker. She listened closely to my requirements, put together a custom plan and went to work. Somehow she managed to galvanize an incredible assortment of joy makers. They not only provided the best team-building activity for my group at Music Box Village, but they orchestrated a truly magical experience that bonded us as a team and created wonderful shared memories. These people know what they are doing and they are the best at it. I cannot recommend them enough.

The Executive Dinner Fast Track For leaders who need results now
Skip the audit. Skip the proposals. Let’s design your strategic dinner in 7 days or less.
That tells me something: You’re tired of safe. You’re done with generic. You want an experience that people can’t stop talking about. Here’s the truth: Every day you wait is another forgettable event someone else is throwing. Another missed opportunity to create the connections that change everything. I only take on 20 events per year. Not because I can’t do more. Because I won’t. Every Clandestine experience gets my complete obsession, from that first spark of an idea to the moment your last guest leaves still buzzing about what just happened.
The question isn’t whether you need an unforgettable event.
It’s whether you’ll create it before your competition does.
