History

Established in 2005.

Sven Moving started when founder Sven Wechsler was pursuing stand-up comedy in New York City. He bought an old Dodge van and started offering moving help to the constantly transient population of comedians and artists in the city. Over time, the business grew to include more vehicles and employees, most of whom were musicians and actors trying to make some scratch while they pursued their dreams. Over the years, we've gone from a man-with-a-van service working off of Craigslist too a fully insured and licensed moving company. Many of our movers are still artists, but all of them are professional movers now.

Business Owner

I moved to NYC a few years ago to pursue my comedy dreams, either with a spot on the Tonight Show or a writing gig on the Daily Show. I started this moving company six months later with the purchase of a beat-up 1990 Dodge van.I realized quickly that New Yorkers move a lot, and none of them have vehicles. I also realized that a lot of moving companies are pretty shady when I heard stories from my customers. They expressed how grateful they where that I was friendly and honest, and that I moved quickly. Those customers referred their friends and came back to me again and again as they tried to find their perfect New York City apartment.I soon needed people to assist me on the jobs, and found my employees among the comedians, writers, actors and artists I had befriended in the evenings at open-mics and shows. I have a couple other businesses now too....an event space: 106North3rd.comand a music rehearsal studio: PurplePianoStudio.com
