Who We Are

Born in October 2022 out of an increasing need to rebuild social circles post-pandemic, Closer began as a dinner for friends of friends and has grown to a network of over 1,000 members. Closer hosts dinners, parties, trips, and events all with proprietary facilitation designed to create social permission to connect. 

Closer also works with a small group of hand-picked creators who are passionate about creating community and connection in their work. As part of the Closer Collective, they have access to collaborating with each other as well as hosting Closer-facilitated events for their own community and within the Closer network.

We are currently only located in NYC but will be launching in markets across the US in 2023.  

  • Applications are generally processed within a week. Please contact us at dannae@becloser.co if you have not heard back. (First take a peek in your spam folder!)

  • Annual Membership is $85 and included in the cost of your Introductory Dinner. Membership includes access to our network of vetted members looking for connection, access to our private digital platform, invites to all events and programming, the opportunity to host, and exclusive partner offers.

  • As your first chance to experience Closer, new members are invited to join us for an intro dinner, a family-style private dining experience where strangers leave as friends. After dinner, you will be officially invited to join the network.
