Why NYC Families Choose Nicholson Events
We have been doing this for over three decades. That means thousands of mitzvahs, thousands of horas, thousands of montage moments that bring an entire room to tears. We know what works because we have seen it all.
The same production team that runs events for Adobe, Boston Consulting Group, Bulgari, and Chanel brings that same precision and professionalism to your child's celebration. The difference is in the details: the MC who remembers every family member's name, the DJ who reads the room and knows exactly when to switch from kid energy to a song that gets every grandparent dancing, the lighting that makes the room feel like something out of a magazine.
We serve families at venues across the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Tribeca, Williamsburg, Park Slope, and throughout Long Island and all five boroughs. No matter where in New York City your mitzvah takes place, we bring the full team and full production.
From a NYC Family
“Shiran and his team made our son's bar mitzvah at a venue on the Upper East Side absolutely unforgettable. The kids never left the dance floor, and every adult was up dancing by the end of the night. Worth every penny.”
