Corporate Event Entertainment New York
New York doesn't do mediocre, and neither should your corporate event. uRequest Live is the interactive band experience where your guests control the music — live, from their phones, performed by world-class musicians.
Entertainment That Earns a New York Audience
New Yorkers have seen everything. Broadway, Madison Square Garden, the Blue Note — the city sets an impossibly high bar for live entertainment. A corporate event band that plays a generic setlist gets tuned out before the second chorus. Our interactive format works in New York specifically because it acknowledges the audience's sophistication: you don't tell this crowd what to listen to. You let them decide.
Manhattan Venues, Brooklyn Energy
Whether your event is at The Plaza, Cipriani Wall Street, Gotham Hall, or a converted warehouse in Williamsburg, our setup adapts to the space and the crowd. We've worked in tight Manhattan ballrooms where every square foot counts and in expansive Hudson Yards event halls designed for thousands. The logistics of performing in New York — freight elevators, load-in windows, union crews — are second nature to us.
Wall Street to Midtown: Every Industry Covered
Finance galas at Cipriani, tech launches at Chelsea Piers, media company holiday parties in SoHo, pharmaceutical conferences at the Javits Center — New York's corporate event calendar spans every industry and every borough. The interactive model works across all of them because it doesn't assume what the crowd wants. A room full of traders requests differently than a room full of creative directors, and the music reflects that automatically.
Multi-Generational Teams, One Dance Floor
New York corporate events often bring together five generations of employees — from Gen Z interns to senior executives. The request-and-vote system naturally balances the setlist across age groups and musical tastes. Instead of the event planner agonizing over a playlist that tries to please everyone, the crowd self-regulates. The result is a set that organically shifts from Frank Sinatra to Drake to The Weeknd, keeping the entire room engaged.
