WHERE EXCEPTIONAL FOOD AND EFFORTLESS EVENT MANAGEMENT COME TOGETHER
WHAT MAKES A RESIDENT CELEBRATION DIFFERENT:
Invitation-only venues reserved exclusively for your party
Complete event production with white-glove attention, including staff, bar, and logistics
Custom menus crafted by Michelin-trained chefs and designed around your taste
Culinary storytelling that reflects your traditions, milestones, and favorite flavors
BESPOKE CULINARY EXPERIENCES CURATED BY WORLD-CLASS CHEFS
Every Resident celebration starts with a Michelin-trained chef, who designs a one-night-only menu built around your story, your guests, and your favorite cuisine. A Michelin star is one of the highest honors in the culinary world, awarded to only a small number of restaurants each year. Working with chefs who have trained in that world means your celebration gets restaurant-level craft in a space that's entirely your own.
VENUES FOR EVERY GUEST LIST, FROM SMALL GATHERINGS TO LARGE FAMILY CELEBRATIONS
Resident's collection of venues for special occasions spans New York City, from intimate townhouses to expansive galleries, architecturally striking penthouses, and hidden spaces brimming with character. Every space is completely private for the night, so your celebration never shares a room with strangers.
Looking for a room with a view? Several of our venues sit above the city, with 360-degree Manhattan skyline views made for toasts and photos. Whether you need a cozy space for eight guests or a sprawling one for eighty, we match the venue to your guest list, not the other way around.
OUR EXCLUSIVE SPACES FOR GROUP CELEBRATIONS AND PRIVATE PARTIES
Each location is carefully selected to enhance the evening’s culinary narrative, creating a seamless harmony between food, lighting, and design. Your celebration unfolds within a space that heightens every sensory detail, allowing guests to feel fully immersed in a custom-crafted experience that is both intimate and unforgettable.
Minimum spend for private celebrations with Resident begin at $20,000.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BOOKING A SPECIAL OCCASION EVENTS VENUE WITH RESIDENT
-
We recommend booking four to eight weeks ahead to get your preferred date and venue, especially for weekend celebrations. If your date is sooner, reach out anyway. Depending on venue availability and the season, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute celebrations, though your choice of venues may be more limited.
-
A restaurant's private dining room usually means a fixed menu inside someone else's restaurant, on their schedule. Booking Resident is different. We produce a fully custom, one-night-only experience built around your occasion, with our own chef, venue, and staff, so the night is shaped entirely around you rather than an existing menu.
-
Most Resident celebrations range from 8 to 80 guests, though several venues in our collection can host even larger family gatherings. Tell us your guest count and the occasion, and we'll match you to a space and a chef built for that size.
-
Yes. Several venues in our collection, including The Copper Rooftop, offer 360-degree Manhattan skyline views across Manhattan and Brooklyn. If a view is important to your celebration, let us know and we'll prioritize those spaces when matching you to a venue.
-
Yes. Every menu is fully customizable, and our chefs regularly design around dietary restrictions, allergies, and personal preferences. Just share the details during your Discovery conversation, and your chef will build the menu with them in mind from the start.
