Michael Cerbelli
CEO / President, Cerbelli Creative
Michael Cerbelli is the very definition of international events. For over 42 years, Michael has done more than change the paradigm of prestigious happenings – Michael has become the paradigm.
If you have been one of the fortunate invitees to a Cerbelli creation, you know who he is. But more importantly, you have experienced first-hand Michael’s breathtaking creativity and mad technical expertise. His success is the result of more than just his mind-blowing concepts, it’s also because his events go off with a military – yet transparent – precision. Though a fixture in the New York City events scene, Michael’s influence is worldwide; from the Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to a birthday party for the King of Morocco, to a signature event at the palace of Catherine the Great in St. Petersburg, Russia, Cerbelli Creative’s events are legendary.
Michael’s recent multi-million-dollar ‘Brooklyn Bar-Mitzvah’ at the Barclay Center grabbed the attention of the worldwide press from CNN to the BBC. Still, Michael’s passion is to do more than create incredible experiences. He would much rather be ‘giving back’ to the event community than fielding calls from the press. Michael’s heart is expressed through his wildly-successful, “Michael Cerbelli’s: The Hot List™” events. With “The Hot List™,” Michael works to inspire producers throughout the industry, reveal the latest trends, and fill their creative toolbox with the latest event resources.
In 2019 Michael was inducted into the event industry Hall of Fame by BizBash a respected multi-million readership for his decades of experience working in event design and production, meetings, hospitality and sponsorships, corporate events, rentals, and more.
About Cerbelli Creative
The name ‘Cerbelli’ has become synonymous with the finest events in the world. From New York to New Delhi and from St. Petersburg to Santa Barbara, Cerbelli Creative is more than an industry leader, they have become an icon; the go-to producer for (among others) Billy Joel, Robert DeNiro and Sir Paul McCartney.
The key to the success of Cerbelli Creative is its namesake; Michael Cerbelli. Michael knows the secret to producing extraordinary events:
An event doesn't have to be large to be ‘big.’ It doesn't have to be extravagant to be ‘rich’
and it doesn't have to be over the top to ‘raise the roof.’
Neither number of guests nor the price-point of an event define its success. Real greatness comes in the significance of the event to the event hosts, in the value it represents and the memories it creates. Michael Cerbelli enjoys the same challenge and rewards creating an intimate function for a special few as he does in producing a multi-million-dollar event for hundreds. Cerbelli Creative is a dream factory, and their dreams are your dreams. If you can imagine it, Cerbelli Creative can exceed it. The satisfaction derived by Michael and the team at Cerbelli Creative comes from the wonder in your eyes at sights never seen before, the excitement of a moment never before dreamed, and beauty never before witnessed.
With Cerbelli Creative, ‘extraordinary’ is never an ‘intangible;’ it is always an ever-present reality, simply waiting to be released by you.
