While Le Dîner en Noir (Dîner en Noir or #DEN) is only several years old, our #DEN family is constantly and quickly growing! Want to bring Dîner en Noir to your city? See below information.

We have hosted events in many cities across the U.S. with plans to expand internationally very soon.  Our philosophy & goal is simple and straightforward; we/our hosts/organizers aim to curate one of a kind, unforgettable dining experiences that bring together and connect guests from diverse backgrounds through their love for fine dining and the city’s business, dining and art community.   Our hosts not only want to participate in this philosophy, but they also respect it. Our corporate goal is to guide and coach interested and qualified organizers who wish to host a Dîner en Noir event in their city. We also link these new cities to the entire Dîner en Noir Nationwide Network.

If you want to organize a DEN event, you’ll first need to apply for a DEN Trade Name & Event License. No one is eligible to organize an event without being granted a license by Diner en Noir Worldwide. We are constantly welcoming new cities & organizers to the Dîner en Noir network via a licensing agreement.  There is an annual licensing fee, for hosts/organizers to use our trademark, which is based on the expected Membership/guest count.  The granting the event license includes our signature trademark logo and name, Le Dîner en Noir/Dîner en Noir, our website template at https://www.dinerennoir.com/youreventname, and all the support services.  We ask that the organizers commit to respecting certain rules and guidelines of the Dîner en Noir family of events and Dîner en Noir Worldwide.  In addition to the trademark license, we also provide images, a media kit, production documents, as well as organizational and technical support for our website.  Our online tool allows organizers to collect the names & contact info of all members, those who joined the local community eVIP list, confirm guests who registered for the event, manage guest lists/guest departure points, sell meals/wine/champagne online, and also view confirmation of payment.

As a means of supporting all of the expenses associated with event production services, a Membership Fee is also charged directly to all guests that participate in your event to keep admission affordable. This allows them the privilege of becoming an official member of the Dîner en Noir National and Global Networks. They will automatically be re-invited to your event every year, be allowed priority registration to any event nationally (once they attend three #DEN Events), and any event world-wide (once they attend five #DEN Events).  The annual Membership Fee is based on the Host City location as well as any promotions running and can be anywhere from $29.99 - 69.99 USD. In addition to the membership fee, a 7-15% Ticket Transactional Fee per transaction will also be assessed. A max of one (1) membership per Host City may be purchased per person which allows the member to register and attend the event with one (1) guest. There is also a 20% fee on all merchandise sold via the #DENStore by the Host-Organizer. 

​

While corporate sponsorship is allowed, all sponsorships MUST be approved by Dîner en Noir Worldwide corporate office.  All corporate sponsors are required to give a return to guests either during the event or after the purchase of a ticket/event registration
