Most people spend hours submitting inquiries to venue after venue, only to find out they're already booked or over budget. Meanwhile, a handful of big-name venues dominate the search results, driving up demand and pricing, while incredible spaces just a block away go completely unnoticed.
The Current Process for
Venue Discovery is Broken
And is paying the price
let's that.
Your event
Change
Submit your inquiry once, and we'll handle the search. We source venues based on your priorities, confirm availability before making introductions, and send you a curated shortlist of the best options. The result is less time spent chasing venues, better matches, and access to unique spaces and preferred partner pricing you likely wouldn't have found on your own.
Curated By
differently
Chances are, you've never heard of your ideal venue. Most online results show venues spending the most on advertising, not necessarily the ones that offer the best experience or value. Curated By introduces you to the hidden gems, from lively bars for happy hours to rooftop terraces, private dining rooms, and full restaurant buyouts.
The right room is out there.
Don' t Settle
After years of managing restaurants and event programs across Midtown, the same concern came up again and again. People were not short on venue options. They were short on clear information. Pricing felt vague, responses were confusing, and a lot of time was spent chasing spaces that were never the right fit.
Hearing this so often is what led to Curated By. The idea was not to replace venues, but to work alongside them and help people cut through the noise, understand their options, and make confident decisions without the runaround.

"Parker and the team were great."
"Very helpful throughout the entire process of planning our event and accommodating to the dietary restrictions of our guests with a variety of menu options. They also offered us the option of using their covered rooftop space next door for our event which was perfect for our group of 35, allowed us to hook-up a playlist to the speakers, and of course the food and drinks were both tasty. Would definitely recommend this service for planning any events in NYC."
