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.

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.

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.

We look forward to our next creative partnership! Here's to the next one!!
