Our Story
Vinny Venuti & Armando Lugo
The Founders
About Vinny
With a career rooted in the vibrant NYC nightlife scene, Vinny has produced events at some of the city’s most iconic nightclubs and venues, collaborating with industry legends like Susanne Bartsch, Amanda Lepore, RuPaul and other trailblazers within the LGBTQIA+ community. Notably, Vinny played a pivotal role in producing the acclaimed "Love Ball III" with Susanne Bartsch, helping to raise over $1 million for HIV and AIDS research in partnership with the CFDA.
Having grown up immersed in nightlife as a club kid, Vinny developed a passion for creativity, crafting props and costumes by hand. This hands-on experience laid the foundation for a deep understanding of event operations, blending artistic vision with operational excellence. Over the years, Vinny has honed the skills of a seasoned event producer, bringing a unique combination of leadership and creative flair to every project.
In addition to nightlife and creative events, Vinny’s experience extends to corporate co-producing million-dollar parties, planning and managing sales conferences, international conferences, brand marketing, and sponsored events. These ventures have further refined the ability to blend large-scale production with precise execution.
Now, the DreamHaus Team channels this wealth of experience to deliver New York-quality events to clients everywhere. From immersive experiences to community engagements, theatrical productions, and bespoke parties and activations.
About Armando
Having established their roots in the River City for over 6 years, Armando (aka DJ AltaTude) is no stranger to the queer nightlife scene. Armando has played at venues like, Babes, The Canal Club, Fall0ut, Godfrey's Brunch/Nightlife, and most notably headlined the main stage for Virginia Pride 2025 at Midtown Green. Alta Tude is also a drag performer who made their debut at Monroe Park performing with the student drag collective "Time Warp" at their Time Traveler pageant. Alta Tude still performs at DreamHaus.
With Armando's background in music, theater, and graphic design, Armando's passion for the arts and eye for detail really shines when it comes to creating an experience. From playing the track, to controlling the lights, and creating the event flyers, Armando finds joy in contributing to the creative process behind the scenes that make all DreamHaus shows and events special. Armando believes the element of production makes a huge difference in a good show, otherwise it's just a performance.
In addition to DJing, Graphic Design, and A/V production, interior design is also a big passion. Helping thrift the iconic lampshades and picking up Facebook Marketplace finds, DreamHaus prides themselves on finding all their interior decor second-hand to create a cozy, speakeasy atmosphere.
Now, as a co-founder of DreamHaus, Armando works alongside, "The Dreamer", Vinny to transform dreams into memorable realities.
