Our Vision
At North Star, our vision is to craft meaningful experiences for those who value music, connection, and community. People should feel welcome, inspired, and safe in a beautiful environment. We’re passionate about uplifting local artists and curating immersive spaces with music, handcrafted cocktails, and thoughtful non-alcoholic options. If you’re an artist or venue owner looking to create something unforgettable, we’d love to connect.

She loves creating events with outstanding music, delicious drink options (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), beautiful surroundings, and thoughtful details that make guests and artists feel welcome and at ease—while naturally sparking connection among like-minded people. Her background as a Wall Street lawyer has instilled a strong professional approach to everything she does, and North Star is no exception.
