Untouchable Events

What Untouchable Events does

Untouchable Events is a privately held, full-service event production company headquartered in Manhattan, founded by David Sharky and Greg Telleri and operating for over 20 years. The company's core function is delivering entertainment and production services for high-end private events — primarily corporate galas and benefits, weddings, and bar/bat mitzvahs, with secondary exposure to celebrity/high-profile events. Its offering is organized into five product divisions: Untouchable Live (bands and orchestras), Untouchable Talent (MCs and DJs), Untouchable Experience (games and activities), Untouchable Design (decor and production design), and Untouchable Moments (in-house video/photo montage production). A Celebrity Spotlight service provides access to a catalog of 500+ recording artists including A-list names such as Nicki Minaj, Drake, Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Kenny G, and Run DMC.

The underlying technology is operationally thin: a WordPress-based website with online intake forms (Wedding Details, Mitzvah Details), an online payment/deposit gateway, and social media presence on Instagram and Facebook. The company's core "technology" is its human-curated talent network and in-house production capabilities — particularly the ability to internally produce custom montages, slideshows, and themed videos — rather than any proprietary software platform. No APIs, mobile apps, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The business model is professional services, quote-based, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Customers submit event details via online forms and receive personalized proposals. Revenue is generated through service fees for talent booking, event coordination, and production services. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website, supported by organic social media. Distribution is regional, concentrated in the New York City metro area, with no disclosed geographic expansion. The company is privately held by its two co-founders with no institutional investment, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• Live Nation Entertainment: Global live entertainment and ticketing conglomerate with artist management, event production, and venue operations. Touches Untouchable's space through celebrity talent representation and live event production, but operates at vastly larger scale and through different channels (public concerts vs. private events).
• WME (William Morris Endeavor): Major talent agency representing musicians, entertainers, and celebrity performers for private appearances, corporate events, and galas. Comparable in the celebrity-talent-brokering layer of Untouchable's offering, but operates as a far larger incumbent agency.

• Preston Bailey Events: Luxury event designer and producer specializing in weddings, corporate events, and celebrity celebrations with signature design and florals. Comparable to Untouchable's integrated design and production capabilities for high-end private events.
