Alejandro was absolutely fantastic! It rained during our event and he still made sure all the guests were extremely happy and taken care of, despite the circumstances. He was super professional and made some of the best cocktails I have ever tried. This was the second time I hired event society for a Boston based event and already planning on a third. Highly recommend!
Great opportunities for work to build your portfolio! Alison is kind, passionate and takes care of her talent.

I am very grateful to the entire Famous Talent Development team for preparing and giving me the tools needed to be 100% successful in presenting my authentic and professional self within the talent industry. Most importantly, I will be able to take calculated risks and step out of my comfort zone. From day one to completing my courses and portfolio shoot, I was greatly supported throughout my journey, with consistent and prompt communication, the services provided were top-tier. I want to give a huge thanks to Gigi for her utmost kindness including her fun, energetic, and passionate nature which she always exudes and makes her a great asset to those who are breaking into the modeling world. Her excellent direction and guidance are one of the many reasons why you would want her on your team. Ellen has also been very communicative and always made sure everything ran smoothly for me in terms of scheduling, making sure I was ready for the next class, and sharing vital information in preparation for the next level. I am excited about what comes next and looking forward to being managed by Famous Talent/Dancho Models.
I’ve had such a wonderful time with the team at Famous Talent Management! They got me in and out of development and worked with me even though I lived in California and i couldn’t be more grateful! So far since moving to NYC I’ve been loving how hands on they are in checking on me for every booking and supporting me with advice and direction for my modeling career. Love them so much!
Best experience ever! As a new face, I was able to get full industry training and a full portfolio. I can’t thank them enough for giving me a chance because I was ready to give up on my dreams. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get into modeling/acting!
I am from Pakistan and my dream is become a model and work with VNY fashion Modeling agency
I love working with the whole team. Great energy, always available with fast response! I’ve been with other commercial agents and Bicoastal has gotten me far more auditions and my first booking 😊
I didn’t have much industry experience before coming across Famous Talent Development and Management. The development classes were incredibly helpful. Goes over the ins and outs of the industry in a crash course of key elements on what to do and what not to do that are helpful even if you have industry experience. Alison and the entire team work hard to make all of us feel prepared during and even after we complete the development phase. Recently I was a model for a NYFW event. The videos from development on runway technique and etiquette were a great refresher. I would have dropped in on a session for an in-person refresher, which they allow us to do even after completing the course, but didn’t have time. The preparation and training they provided made me confident and ready for the show. I can’t believe the opportunities that have opened up since I completed the development course and joined their management. Would definitely recommend them with or without prior industry experience!
Super friendly staff and welcoming environment! Malissa, Kenzie, Chrissy, and Angel are all super hardworking, down to earth, transparent, and you can tell they really care for their clients. If you're looking for representation, this is the crème de la crème!
W Talent NYC is Amazing! I’ve received so many wonderful opportunities already and I’ve only just begun! Kelli is absolutely wonderful! She is so supportive, hands-on, and extremely nice and kind as well! I couldn’t be more thankful and thrilled to have her as my agent! W Talent NYC agency is the Bomb!! Thank you, Kelli!!! 💖
First time going for audition with my 12-yr old daughter but she was signed with good communication with Kelli and just saw the professional photos and website…well worth it so far.
I love W talent. My experiences with them has always been delightful. They are extremely professional and the atmosphere is incredible. ❤️ Can’t wait for my next booking
Alejandro and his team were a pleasure to work with and they took care of everything for my event from A-Z with exceptional execution. I can’t wait to use The Event Society for my next event! Highly reccomend!
Alejandro and his team are incredible. The level of service and cocktails exceed expectations every event they do. I recommend the Event Society for anyone looking to host a fabulous party!
I am very grateful to be signed to this agency! ❤️ Kelli is incredibly kind and supportive and a very hands on agent. I have had some incredible auditions for big brands in the few months that I’ve been signed. I’m so excited to see what the future holds for me and future bookings I will receive with W Talent NYC! 😍
If you just are just starting out modeling and need direction or even if you have experience, Famous Talent Development is the place to be. Allison and Ellen and the whole entire staff is amazing. They will take their time with you, work with you on no matter the situation, & the information and classes provided is definitely beneficial and you’ll learn so much. Not to mention the environment is great.
I am very impressed with the professionalize and welcoming atmosphere of this agency. Open call went great and very informative. BEST and highly recommend. Thanks Kelly 🙂
This is not a modeling agency, this is a money business. I do NOT recommend this agency, better off doing signing with another agency. I left a deposit and after they collected it l, they tripled what I owed them. This money business never sent me for any jobs nor ask for any photos. They asked for money, continuously instead of worrying about the models themselves. If you really want growth in your career I suggest you go elsewhere.
Anyone looking to put me on as a model without me paying you first. Someone whom as good looking as me should only deserve it to be that way. If so find my Facebook! Thanks beautiful people.
W Talent impressed me so much with the quality of the Actors and Models they represent. I met Kelli, and she warm, capable and a straight shooter. Can't say enough about W and all the amazing people there that keep dreams alive.
I was invited by Kelli to come and talk with her talent at W and listen to the monologues. I have made written and directed 20 features and have auditioned 1000s of actors. The diversity and talent that the group showed was fabulous and some of the monologues were top tier. W Talent is in my opinion one of the top agencies in NYC and I am incredibly excited to partner with them in developing the next constellation of stars.
Bicoastal is by far the GREATEST Agency I’ve been with. The whole team is really out to help you. Team is very transparent, will tell you how it is and what you really need to develop your career. Since joining the team I’ve worked with nothing but big brands. Literally the first agency to send me back my work and not have to go looking crazy for it. By FAR the GREATEST agency I’ve been with. THANK YOU once again!!
I had never heard of VNY Models before. Their website has a great deal of detail and is helpful to gain an overview of the agency’s portfolio. Easy to access and navigate.
Is a good place for renting... This is very spacious and clean. Good for little parties and dance rehearsals. Although for meetings. Good prices.
I had the opportunity to work with Alison and her team and it was absolutely a phenomenal experience. She is one of the talented and gifted directors I've ever seen in action. I believe that anyone that is looking to advance in their career should contact this agency
My son is with BMG and Michelle has been wonderful, professional and very responsive. They have gotten him some great auditions even with a pandemic. She is a hard working, really nice agent. I highly recommend BMG.
Bicoastal MGMT is the most INCREDIBLE agency I have ever had the pleasure of being repped by.
They’ve given me more time than any agency (I have been with STATE & Q models) even after not booking & years of sizing & weight fluctuations. They continue to push me to go sees & clients.
I am truly grateful to each and everyone at bicoastal for believing in me no matter what.
Last year I even breeched my contract (without knowing it) & they changed it for me so graciously!
The owner is a beautiful soul and cares about every single one of her models.
Bicoastal mgmt wants to see everyone succeed even if it’s not with them, and this is what sets them apart from everyone.
I love them so much & wouldn’t want to work with any other agency!
Thank you BICOASTAL MGMT for a you do♥️

Very Great For Kids.
The Event Society hosted several showroom parties for our company and all of them went very successful! We enjoyed working with Alejandro's amazing team. They are always on top of every detail, professional, and organized. Alejandro creates the best signature drinks and provides great catering options. We would love to work with The Event Society again for our next events! - Casa Design Group
Alejandro & Team at The Event Society are incredible! From start to finish, Alejandro took the reins and tackled all aspects of the party planning (my big 4-0!) to ensure that we didn't have to worry about a thing and that the night was a success. And it was! Not only is Alejandro great, his staff is as well - on time, friendly, and professional. We highly recommend The Event Society and look forward to using them in the future.
My real estate team hired The Event Society to help host our launch party this fall - what a great decision! Alejandro and his staff were easy to work with and on top of every detail throughout the entire planning process. They were so organized that the day of the event all we had to do was simply walk in and mingle with our guests - who I might add were very impressed! Their bar prep and execution was outstanding and everyone raved about their signature cocktails. I have been to past events Alejandro has hosted and I've been interested in working with him for a few years now. So happy I finally had the opportunity to do so and I look forward to partnering up on many more in the future. Thanks again Alejandro, to both you and your wonderful staff! - The Movement Group, Compass
By far the best open casting call I’ve ever been to. Made me less nervous, super friendly and nice. I’m glad I was there .! I hope to get a call back because this is working environment I would love to be a part of. Thank you and good luck peoples.
Went here for an open call. Very sketchy at first but when you get to the casting floor it is incredibly hot with so many people waiting to be called on and not enough room.
Alex was great! Been to castings before but VNY delivers in terms of professional coupled with friendlyness. Something I've never felt before from a casting director, he made everyone feel he was really wanting us to help him to help present us in the best manner.
Going here and seeing all those beautiful people made me realize it's important as human beings that we take good care of ourselves and health. My first open call was soo nerve wracking but the guy who host it and took my pictures made my nerves go all away. When I go to open calls in the future I will definitely remember him. Thank you for the wonderful first time experience VNY models. You guys encouraged me to go after my dreams.
I have to say VNY has the best open call you can ever go to. It was my first open call I went to and they really give every one a opportunity to be seen. The guy who does it makes everyone feel like they are at home and welcoming , Really great guy with a lot of great energy that motivated me to go out and get scouted and chase my dream.
My experience at VNY was great , especially since it was my first casting. It’s located in a beautiful suite and the person who handled the whole thing was really cool and easy to work with. I was really excited to be there.
I started as a young photographer 25 years ago. Early in my career I met my friend and mentor, Michael Lyons. Michael has been instrumental in catapulting my career as a successful commerical photograher. His extraordinary and vast knowledge and encouragement has helped me and others to take risks and expand my repetiore of subject matters on film. I respect and love Michael for all he has done for me and call it an honor to be his friend.
Michael is very focused , simple man , down to earth . He been very panctual and helpful. Like to work with him .

Well recommended! Great place for your kids
Mike Lyons and his team are some of the kindest people you will ever work with. Thats a rarity in this industry. They will work as hard as you are willing to work. I have nothing but lovely things to say about the first person to take a chance on me in NYC.
I had reached out to several talent agencies prior to calling Bicoastal MGMT and have had, by far, the best experience with them. Even though they scout for major brands such as Theory and Vera Wang, they provided me with down-to-earth attentiveness and customer service in helping me find a fit model for my new company. I worked with Angel, who is so quick to respond to emails, and works hard to match someone that fits your needs. I feel like the positive energy of the company circulates throughout the company, as the model, Katie, had an equally great attitude and was just as friendly as the staff at Bicoastal.
TL,DR: I used Bicoastal to find a fit model for my emerging label, and they have INCREDIBLE customer service and a great board of models!!!

Unprofessional. Seek another agency.
I came in for an open call. I was told to make an appointment to come back in which I did. I was told I would be signed to the agency on a contingency that once If I was able to book jobs I would be signed. I filled out my paperwork and was told to send all my information to Mike the manager of the fitness part of the agency. I submitted everything to Mike within 48 hours. He never responded or acknowledged my emails, when you call, he is either in a "meeting", left the office, or "busy". I went to Instagram to see how other models liked being with the agency and the ones in fitness under mike had nothing positive to say. He is never easily accessible. This is just my two cents

A few days ago I attended an OPEN CALL for modeling print work. The place was relatively empty with 2 people siting in the reception area. A young girl approached me and said "yes", as in why are you here? For a moment I thought I arrived in a wrong place. When I explained why I was there she started asking me questions and some were personal in front of the 2 very noisy models! I was shocked with the lack of professionalism and hospitality! Then she asked if I had my head-shots and resume with me. After I showed it all to her and she saw I wasn't new to the business, she said "great" and told me to wait while she'll shows it to "Mike". She quickly returned and said that "Mike" was busy and asked me to email everything to him instead. I said, wouldn't it be better for me to leave my hard copies (enveloped) with you now since I'm here already? She said, "no" email it to him. Now, it took me a lot of time to get there. Even if they couldn't see me, they should have accepted my hard copies as ALL agencies do and offered a common courtesy and professionalism!!! I can now see why they had an OPEN CALL for two days. They are rude, unprofessional and no one wants to work with them!! And neither do I!!
Alejandro is the most professional guy I've ever met. All of the events I've attended are absolutely wonderful. He is so detail oriented, has a fantastic taste, and has the best staff. He is extremely passionate about his work and delivers perfection. I absolutely recommend him!
I have used The Event Society on many occasions. Alejandro and his team are the best in the city. They take time to cater to your every need. They customize menus based on the type of event you are hosting. Their cocktails are creative and the staff is courteous + professional. Highly recommend this company!
Working with the team at Bicoastal is always professional and pleasant. They are hard working and warm. I always feel that the communication is clear and personal- and they never submit me for work I am not comfortable with. If they are this trustworthy great to work with as a model, I imagine their clients are also always in good hands!
Honestly I have no words to describe my love for Bicoastal Mgmt! I started modeling at the age of 10 and have been with countless agencies all over the world. Bicoastal's team is beyond incredible and they are by far, the warmest and most understanding people I have met in the industry. I never write reviews, but I am so grateful for all the success that I have achieved in the business, because of THEM. If I could give them more than 5 starts, I would.They ARE the best.
EXTREMELY RUDE.
I would NEVER direct anyone to this company. They are very disrespectful and completely unhelpful. By far the worst agency i have ever worked with.
Especially calling in for any help or feedback when needed - the lady who you speak with is degrading and terrible. She needs to be fired.

I’ve been with Bicoastal for almost 5 years. Nothing but the praise! Immaculate attention to details; always on top of things; professional and the sweetest people on the team. They practice more of a personable approach which I appreciate and value greatly – they make me feel I’m always taken care of, there’s no need to double check anything. Overall – 5 stars!
