EMM Group has been on a roll lately expanding their venue portfolio with the introductions of SL Miami, HQ at the Revel, BOW, The Estate in Sag Harbor and now their answer to Lavo – Finale NYC. Lavo has sat comfortably atop the throne as NYC’s premier venue to see A list DJ’s perform in an intimate setting, but EMM Group has something to say about that. Finale burst onto the scene enlisting all-star DJ’s such as Eric Prydz, Nervo, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, R3hab, Martin Solveig, Chris Lake and many more.

The Door

Finale is officially one of the toughest doors in NYC. We attended Finale 3 times and noticed the same things during all 3 experiences. There were 2 bouncers and 1 doorman, Luke. Luckily we had a connect, but Luke was extremely selective about who he let in, and he was trying to create a line only letting in a few people at a time resulting in a slow process. Our advice – get on a list!

Avoid missing this by getting on a list.

The Club

Upon entering Finale a creative light display will lead you to the main door. The club itself is roughly 6,000 square feet although the lay-out doesn’t make it feel that way. A bar with ample room is situated to the right of the entrance and similar to Lavo the dance floor is surrounded by tables and roped off VIP sections creating a tight dance area. Overall, there’s space to maneuver around due to the crowd or lack-of crowd…

The entrance to the main door sets the tone for the trippy vibe in Finale.

The Crowd

Well, there isn’t much of one. EMM Group has a lot of work to do in terms of hyping up Finale and generating a stronger buzz as the crowds have been light. Additionally, Finale’s tactics at the door say it all – there’s a sense of desperation they are trying to build a line outside the club anyway possible.

The dancers take up more space than the crowd.

The Experience

The Finale experience is about spunk and edge featuring a variety of dancers including half naked dancers, dancers in inflatable balls, dancers hanging from the ceiling, dancers on stilts and dancers in guerrilla costumes. The pictures below tell the full story.

Abe booked my last two birthdays efficiently and on budget. Reached out to me mid-week this week as I was scrambling for a Saturday reservation, and handled everything within a couple of hours. Great communication, access to best bars, and follow-ups. I highly recommend this service (signed up for yelp to do so) and look forward to booking my next party, hopefully sooner than a year from now.

Birthday Bottle Service is amazing! I found them online and it did sound too good to be true but the ratings were excellent. Abe and Cristina were very quick to respond to my email request and very accommodating. I was doing a joint birthday party with a friend and we ended up selecting the Gansevoort Park Avenue with the buy one get one free deal. Once we got there, we only had to wait for several minutes before our party was escorted to our area of the bar. We ended up having more people than intended show up (about 22 showed up when we planned on 15) but no one had a problem at all getting in when using our names at the door, even the people who arrived late. The venue itself is great! It has a bunch rooms with different music styles as well as an outdoor pool area. Overall, this is a great service and I will definitely be using this again! Thanks Abe and Cristina!

Birthday Bottle Service was a success! I wanted to plan a special birthday celebration for my boyfriend. I simply Googled "birthdays in NYC" and Birthday Bottle Service came right up. I contacted them and Christina responded within minutes. I was able to choose my venue from an extensive list. We chose Gansevoort. As the guest list grew, we asked Christina for 2 tables next to each other at the Gansevoort. Both had the buy 1 + get 1 free bottle special. Christina and Abe confirmed our party the day of and even provided us with a Customer Service number - God forbid anything went wrong the night of the party. Luckily we did not need to use it! We arrived in the VIP line and was seated right away. In fact they moved a party, cleaned up the tables, so they could accommodate us all with 2 adjoining tables within minutes. 4 bottles came out right away and our waitress was great and helpful when we requested different mixers. Everyone had a wonderful time! I will definitely contact Christina and Abe again for another event. I'm excited to try different venues with the help of their amazing party planning!!

I made the mistake of asking my husband what he wanted to do for his birthday. I expected him to say he wanted to go for a nice dinner but instead he busted out "I wanna get a table somewhere and pay for all my friends to drink." Well shit! (only kidding!) We don't go to many clubs these days so I didn't know where we should go and I really didn't want to pay for 10 other people to get drunk. Thanks to to my mastery of the google machine I typed in "NYC birthday" and Birthday Bottle Service popped right up! I clicked on their website and was immediately awestruck- FREE BOTTLES- what?!? This can't be true. Nothing in NYC is free, ESPECIALLY alcohol. I emailed them and quickly got a response from Abe & Cristina. They set up my party at the Gansevoort and reconfirmed the day of. My table was waiting for me when we got there and I really did get 2 bottles of booze for the price of one bottle of booze (+ $50 tip for the free bottle) My husband got to celebrate and spoil all his friends and we looked like ballers, so it was a win-win-win. I highly recommend booking a party through Birthday Bottle Service and I will heed my own advice and use them again.

I wanted to find a place to throw a birthday party for a girlfriend. I picked the venue on the website and received an email right away from Cristina. The reservation process was quick. I received confirmation in a timely manner. It was the easiest party planning that I have gone through. Thanks again birthday bottle service. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.
