Clandestine designs and executes high-stakes corporate and executive events where reputation, alignment, and outcomes matter.
Getting people to show up is the first challenge.
Delivering something worth showing up for
is the real one.
You've seen it. Hell, you've lived it:
The Hidden Cost:
While budgets get spent on forgettable food and forced small talk, the real cost is disengagement.
Low attendance, low energy, and forgettable experiences don’t just waste budget… they undermine the reason for gathering in the first place.
They smile. They shake hands. They say thank you.
But they’re already planning their exit before dessert.
We execute complex, high-visibility events under pressure; managing logistics, production, and risk so our clients don’t have to.
Clandestine was built in New Orleans and shaped by years of executing unpredictable, high-pressure events where adaptability matters.
If the experience doesn’t land, the investment doesn’t matter.
That's why:
We start with the purpose of the event, then execute every element to support it.
Guests feel the difference even if they cannot name it.
Real experiences, Real excitement
Our events don’t just happen, they create stories worth telling. Here’s what attendees and partners had to say
Will BewleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our second year working with Clandestine for our company offsite and they really hooked us up with an unforgettable experience! Kelley and Steve are incredible to work with both in the run-up as well as during the offsite, working tirelessly to ensure everything went without a hitch! I’d 100% recommend them to any company looking to throw an exciting company retreat and am looking forward to start planning next year’s with them soon—the only issue is how do we possibly improve on this one?! Chasen ShawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're planning an event and want it to actually feel like an event, call Clandestine. I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Clandestine team on multiple productions, and every single time they deliver the same rare combo: creative vision and flawless execution. They don’t just “get it”, they anticipate it, elevate it, and somehow make it feel effortless and FUN all along the way. From high-end corporate events to truly wild immersive parties, they know how to read a room, build an experience, and make your brand or occasion unforgettable. Their team brings serious full-scale production chops and the right attitude. No egos, just excellence. Clandestine is the kind of team you want on speed dial. I trust them, I recommend them, and I’d work with them anytime. Tey StitelerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Kelley Troia and the team at Clandestine Events was such a joy. The entire planning process was intentional, collaborative, and beautifully aligned from start to finish. It’s always a treat to work alongside fellow creatives, and this event was a perfect example of what can happen when a team comes together around a shared vision. This particular celebration felt especially meaningful because of the couple’s interest in gardening and plants—something we too love at The Secret Spot Flowers. Designing a floral installation that included living plants, which could later be replanted in the couple’s orchard, was such a lovely, intentional detail. It added a layer of lasting beauty to the day and reflected the care and creativity that Kelley brings to every event. We’re so grateful to have been part of it and can’t wait for the next opportunity to work together. Jesse MannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We've had the pleasure of working with Clandestine for several years, and they continue to impress us with their creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and can-do attitude. Whether it's a product launch or a small VIP gathering, they consistently deliver compelling, beautifully executed events that capture our vision and elevate our brand. Their team is organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making every event a success. If you're looking for an event planning partner that brings fresh ideas to the table and flawlessly executes them, Clandestine is the way to go. Austin LavinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clandestine did a wonderful job helping us plan an out of town birthday celebration. They assisted with travel logistics, venue selection and helped us curate activities and personalize gifts—ensuring a one-of-a-kind celebratory weekend. Shy Little ChurchmouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every single detail was perfect. So thoughtful. So easy to work with.

Real experiences, Real excitement
Our events don’t just happen, they create stories worth telling. Here’s what attendees and partners had to say
Working with and hiring Clandestine to help produce and execute our reception was one of the best decisions we made while planning our event. They were extremely professional, organized, enthusiastic and prepared. With an abbreviated planning window they created unique and custom ideas to help bring our vision to life, managed all vendor logistics and communication, helped keep us to the agreed-upon budget and were extremely adaptable when needing to problem solve and find quick solutions. In hiring their team we were confident we could rely on them during our busiest time of year to stay on top of all of the details, help follow up with us to meet deadlines and not only get the job done but get it done in the best way possible. They exceeded all expectations – we couldn’t have been more impressed with their work and are extremely grateful for their time and services. They are an all-star organization!
Clandestine did a FANTASTIC job – frankly, they blew the effing doors off (to quote Michael Caine) and we LOVE them. Supreme client service, backed up with edgy creative, solid event management and a great sense of humor. There is not a curved ball they cannot catch! I could not recommend them more highly. Thanks to Chrisy, Kelley (and Steve in the shadows) for all you do for us. We love you! Here’s to the next one!
CLANDESTINE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! If I could give them a 10 star review I would. Kelley and Steve are very professional and easy to work with. They go above and beyond in all that they do. They put together a work event for my company at the Orpheum Theater; the place looked magical. We had over 200 guest and they all mentioned that this is a night they would never forget.
With less than a week to finish planning a corporate retreat in New Orleans, I happened across Clandestine Events and reached out to them to see if they could help. Clandestine’s Kelley Troia was a miracle worker. She listened closely to my requirements, put together a custom plan and went to work. Somehow she managed to galvanize an incredible assortment of joy makers. They not only provided the best team-building activity for my group at Music Box Village, but they orchestrated a truly magical experience that bonded us as a team and created wonderful shared memories. These people know what they are doing and they are the best at it. I cannot recommend them enough.

Ready to plan your event?
If you are planning an event where execution matters, we can help.
We work with marketing and internal teams to handle complex, high-visibility events without drama.
If it sounds like a fit, we will talk through the scope and let you know how we would approach it.
Because we don’t do options, we do decisions. Every recommendation in The Little Black Book is hand-vetted, experience-tested, and aligned with the kind of reputation you’re trying to protect. We only recommend what we’d use for our own investor dinners or founder offsites. No filler, no fluff, no guessing
Yes, that’s exactly who we serve. Clandestine was built for high-stakes, high-taste moments. Our reputation is earned through precision: knowing when to push the envelope and when to protect the brand. We plan for the people whose time is expensive and whose bar is even higher.
It’s part intuition, part interrogation. We test the experience ourselves or have it vetted by our trusted inner circle. Then we pressure-test the operators: How do they handle VIPs? How fast can they turn a space? What happens when something goes wrong? If they flinch, they’re out. This is a no mid zone.
Clear deliverables. Transparent pricing. Zero bloat. You’re not paying for a pretty PDF. You’re getting fast, trusted answers, personalized planning, and vetted partners who execute. Whether it’s just access to the LBB or full white-glove service, you’ll know exactly what’s included and what’s not.
We move at founder speed. If it’s in the LBB, we can turn around recommendations same-day. Full planning moves even faster with a clear brief. Ideally, we coordinate with your EA or CoS to make this seamless. Minimal lift, maximal results.
Yes, the LBB is built to travel. From Austin to Amsterdam, we curate with local nuance and global taste. We know what flies in Napa might flop in Berlin, and we don’t recycle itineraries. You get localized precision, not copy-paste vibes.
Empowering every time. Clandestine turns your EA into a superhero. They still manage the mission you just arm them with the intel, access, and vetted vendors that save hours and protect reputations. We make them look brilliant.
