Live music at Moxy Hotels, NYC.

Solo violin, jazz piano, and DJ + live violin across Moxy's NYC properties — Moxy Times Square, Moxy East Village, Moxy NYC Downtown, and Moxy NYC Chelsea. Brand launches, corporate cocktails, rooftop receptions, private events.

A brand that plays like it means it.

Moxy properties in New York run a different playbook than a traditional hotel — the rooftops, the ground-floor bars, the takeover-friendly event spaces are designed for brand activations, tastemaker parties, and corporate cocktails that need to read as culture, not corporate. Julie fits the room. Solo violin during arrivals is intentional against the industrial-tile Moxy aesthetic; DJ + live violin at reception is exactly the format that carries the room from happy hour into full party without a genre reset.

Formats that fit Moxy.

Rooftop cocktails — Solo violin or jazz piano across the Magic Hour rooftop (Times Square), Cathédrale terrace, Bar Moxy roof, or the Highlight Room. Battery-powered PA for open-air positioning, wireless.

Brand launches and press events — Original score composed to your brand video and performed live to the screen — for the reveal moment. Coordinated with the property's events team and any outside production.

Corporate cocktail receptions — DJ + live violin format for the ground-floor bar takeover or dedicated event space. Real strings played over house, hip-hop, and pop; volume scaled to the room.

Private client and industry parties — Solo formats for smaller intimate events, or the full DJ + live violin set for tastemaker-style parties that need to read as an experience.

Moxy logistics across properties.

The four NYC Moxy properties each have their own event teams and their own quirks — Times Square runs on peak-hour foot traffic, East Village has scale limits for ground-floor takeovers, Downtown has the strongest rooftop setup, Chelsea is the most flexible for takeover-style events. Julie coordinates directly with the property-specific events lead, loads in through the correct service entrance for that Moxy, and issues COI naming the property and the operator (typically Lightstone or Marriott depending on which Moxy) within 48 hours.

Investment.

Corporate engagements at Moxy Hotel begin at $3,000 and are quoted individually based on format, duration, guest count, and production requirements. Weddings at Moxy properties (typically rooftop or terrace configurations) use the standard rate sheet, Zone 1.
