We had absolutely the best time at the Macy’s Day Parade. From beginning to end the entire experience was so well organized, the communication was excellent and the staff were all so helpful. The closer we got to the event I was worried my expectations were too high and we would be disappointed. Our experience exceeded my expectations! We stayed at the W Hotel Times Square, went to see the balloon inflation and watched the floats being assembled, saw The Outsiders and the Rockettes and then seeing the parade while enjoying mimosas and a delicious brunch was better than anything I could have planned for us. We had so much fun we might even do it again!

#13: Major League Baseball in Tokyo: March 2025 As any Bucket Lister can surely attest, the need to be opportunistic when considering events is vitally important. It was in this vein that we bid sayonara to Osaka and Kon’nichiwa to Tokyo, where Major League Baseball would open its 2025 season

We bought World Cup tickets from Bucket List Events and we will most certainly be using them for future events. Rich Beard is an absolute gem. His positivity, attention to detail, commitment to his guests and attitude of wonder and curiosity made this event next level for us. The execution was flawless. The company and conversation exceptional. We saw six games and the seats were stellar. We travel five months of the year, and travel is such a commodity these days—I wondered if it would be worth it to book through a service. But these guys are true pros, and I wouldn’t do it without them going forward. Bravo, Rich and Co. You made us feel comfortable in Qatar. And that was a very tall order.

The Macys Day Parade Bucket List Tour was extraordinary. The entire experience was first class. The hotel was magical and perfectly located. The cocktail meet and greet was lovely. The star, of course, was the parade at the beautiful restaurant, followed by fabulous tickets to Radio City! The following day we had superior tickets to MJ on Broadway. The team that runs Bucket List are spectacular. Truly a trip of my dreams.

Dreams really do come true! Bucket List Events made our Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and NYC experience perfect. Ben was always knowledgeable and helpful and best of all always had a smile on his face. Can’t thank them enough for a wonderful and memorable time. Looking forward to traveling with them again.

It was so well planned out and executed by Ben and his staff. The hardest part in any business/experience is matching the value in ‘dollar cost’ to the value in experience and this team did this perfectly. It was absolutely worth the price tag, and I’d recommend them to anyone, every time.

They set up things I couldn't have even dreamed of doing, or planned myself. The team was extremely friendly and helpful, you can tell they LOVE what they do. Thanksgiving 2021 in NYC, check that off the bucket list in the most special way ever! Thank You Bucket List!!
