get ready to host a stranger event
fancy seeing you here, stranger!
Welcome to Stranger Works: an event planning studio for people who think the best kind of party is a really good day with their friends.
There’s nothing strange about wanting an occasion to be easy. But hosting takes real effort, and not everyone wants a loud bar with drinks!
Here at Stranger Works, we welcome your strangest idea. From silent beer pubs to hidden disco nights, to oyster cruises, limoncello trophies, and murder mystery nights, we love nothing more than figuring out your dreams— and turning them into a really good party.
So, if you’ve ever wondered what an event could look like outside of your local dive bar, you’re in the right place.

“Carolyn made the whole weekend feel effortless. Every detail of our Labor Day tournament felt thoughtful without being overdone, and everyone was relaxed and fully in the moment. Some of our friends begged to come back next year, or even the next weekend!
