keithen hergott

senior event manager

Keithen Hergott's journey in hospitality began 17 years ago in Las Vegas, working at Tabu Ultra Lounge in the MGM Grand. In his time there, the infamous award-winning space was named "Best Lounge" for a third time by the prestigious Club World Awards. After moving to NYC, he found work in many of the city's top hot spots, including a stint behind the bar for Tao Group. His combined bar and nightlife experience brings a unique skill set to the event planning arena. 

This, combined with his work as a professional actor featured in Commercials, TV and Film, provide a fresh perspective when producing events. His exposure to all of these different elements has granted him a true measure of calm during the sometimes frantic "behind-the-Scenes" moments of event production that his staff and clients alike both appreciate.  His personal mantra of "finding joy in the small moments" perfectly lends itself to his genuine appreciation of being able to create memorable experiences for guests.
