The Empire Way.
Every great event starts with a question: what do you want your guests to feel? That question has driven this company since 1982 — and it's been driving Empire Force Events since Jaclyn Bernstein took the helm in 1994.
We are New York City's longest independently and locally owned Destination Management Company — and proud partners to corporate clients across the New York Metropolitan Tri-State area: New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut. We are the team that shows up for the hard events, the iconic venues, the impossible timelines. And we deliver every time.
That's the Empire Way.
And it's been working for over 30 years.
Meet The Team
Curated by Design. Exceptional by Standard.
The Empire team has worked together for years, some of us for decades. Our most senior team member has been with Empire for over 20 years. That says everything about our commitment to a lasting legacy of fantastic events.
Working with Us
We're an Extension of Your Team.
We don't just execute your vision — we help you build it. We bring concepts, ideas, and creative options to every conversation. We give you honest guidance. We tell you what's going to work and what isn't. Then we make it happen.
Our clients across New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut, don't hire us for an event. They engage us as their partner because they trust us to deliver — and then they come back, again and again.

And As New Yorkers,
We're Expeditious.
We know this city. And we know the region.
Not from a map, but from decades of producing events across New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut. We know the venues, the vendors, the permit offices, the NYPD liaisons, the ferry operators, and the hidden gems your guests will never forget — whether you're hosting a gala in Manhattan, a corporate retreat in Connecticut, or a team building day across the Hudson in New Jersey.
New York City isn't a backdrop for us. The entire Tri-State area is our playground, our partner, and our home.
From galas at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to feasts in the Great Hall at Ellis Island, from Rockefeller Center to Times Square — when New York and the Tri-State area is the destination, Empire is the difference.
