New York, NY • Local Presence
New York invented the coat check. We perfected it for phones.
In a city where every guest knows the rhythm of checking a coat at the door, The Phone Valet™ feels instantaneous, natural, and unmistakably five-star.
New Yorkers don’t tolerate slow lines or awkward gimmicks. Handing 300 black-tie guests at The Plaza or Cipriani a neoprene lock bag creates an instant bottleneck at the elevators—and nobody wants a bulky rubber pouch stuffed into a bespoke tuxedo or evening clutch.
Our New York team operates with the speed and polish of a private Manhattan club. Working in synchronized intake pairs at the foyer, elevator bank, or tent entrance, our white-gloved attendants check in devices in under 5 seconds, hand over a sleek claim ticket, and let your guests step into the room completely present.

The Phone Valet™How it works
Your New York guests don’t just arrive. They are received.
- 01
Welcome and check-in
At the entrance, our white-gloved attendants greet each guest, collect their phone, and issue a luxury claim ticket in under 5 seconds.
- 02
Still within reach
Guests are welcome to stop by anytime to check a message or make a call. It takes seconds.
“Your phone is safe with us. We’ll be right here the whole time if you need anything.”
- 03
Pick-up
On the way out, guests present their claim ticket and pick up their phones. Zero magnetic pouch lines—it takes seconds.
Hands free to dance.
When the phones stay at the door, the entire New York room transforms.
“Not one guest holding up their phone. Both hands free to fly and dance. We experienced the party with each other, not worried about taking a video and missing out.”
“We hosted 320 executives at an annual private summit. Intake was as fast as a five-star hotel coat check, completely discreet, and not a single device leaked.”

The Phone Valet™ at the door changes what happens inside.
Beyond the check-in.
A dedicated event line
Give your New York guests one number to share, so a babysitter or family member can reach them if something urgent comes up. Our team monitors it throughout the event.
Let your guests know what to expect
When you book, we’ll send you ready-to-use wording for your invitations, event website, or reminder texts, so guests arrive knowing what to expect.
Cameras at check-inOn request
When the goal is presence, not privacy, guests can still capture the moments. Provide disposable or digital cameras, and we’ll hand them out at check-in.
Raffle at pick-upOn request
Every check-in gets a number. As phones are returned, we draw the winners and hand out the prizes right there. You provide the prizes. We handle the rest.
New York questions & details
Tap any question to open it.
Do you have a local team in New York?
Yes. New York is one of our flagship markets. Our local metro team serves all five boroughs, Westchester, Long Island (including the North Shore and The Hamptons), and Greenwich, CT.
Can you provide union-friendly logistics and $2M+ COIs for strict Manhattan landmarks?
Yes. Our station is modular, requires zero hardwired electrical or rigging, loads in cleanly via freight elevators, and comes backed by a $2M+ Certificate of Insurance naming any NYC landmark, hotel, or management group.
How do you prevent elevator or foyer bottlenecks at NYC venues?
We staff 1 attendant per 60–75 guests in synchronized two-person intake lanes. Because guests don’t have to fumble with locking bags, check-in takes under 5 seconds per person.
How does this compare to Yondr pouches for a New York wedding or gala?
New York hosts choose The Phone Valet™ because guests hate carrying heavy locked rubber pouches inside evening wear, and unlocking stations cause long exit lines. Our white-gloved attendants hold the devices securely at the door—just like a luxury coat check.
What if a guest needs to check on a babysitter or call their driver at the end of the night?
Our station is attended continuously so guests can check a message or text their car service anytime in seconds. We also provide a monitored emergency text line for sitters and family.
Do you travel out to The Hamptons and Hudson Valley for weekend weddings?
Yes. We regularly service multi-day wedding weekends from Montauk and Southampton to Tarrytown, Rhinebeck, and the Hudson Valley.
