Fitz’s Fish Ponds Announces Gary Vee Pond Build Event Ahead of Koi Fest 2025

Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Work Alongside Business Icon Gary Vaynerchuk and Transform a Legendary Family Pond

Fitz’s Fish Ponds is proud to announce an extraordinary pond build event taking place the week leading up to Koi Fest 2025. From August 18 through August 22, a select group of pond builders, entrepreneurs, and creators will come together to reimagine the iconic pondscape of Sasha Vaynerchuk, father of none other than Gary Vaynerchuk — the legendary entrepreneur, speaker, and social media pioneer better known as Gary Vee.

This exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience is limited in capacity and available for a flat fee of $2,500 per person, offering not only the chance to build alongside the FFP team, but to gain direct business insight from Gary Vee himself. 

Gary Vee has inspired millions with his bold, practical approach to business, branding, and social media growth. He is the Chairman of VaynerX, CEO of VaynerMedia, a New York Times bestselling author, and a globally recognized voice in entrepreneurship and hustle culture. From launching Wine Library TV to growing his father’s liquor business from $3 million to $60 million, Gary has spent decades turning strategy into success.

Now, he’s teaming up with Fitz’s Fish Ponds to transform his father’s backyard into a next-level aquatic oasis — and you're invited to be a part of it.

“It’s not just about digging a pond,” says Brian Fitzsimmons, founder of Fitz’s Fish Ponds. “It’s about storytelling, entrepreneurship, legacy — and learning how to level up your brand by being in the room with a game changer like Gary.”

• Wondering where to fly in? For prospective Builders who are flying in, we advise that you secure air transit to Philly or Newark's airports. This is because FFP has secured a location that is about 10 minutes from The Farm (located in Milford, NJ), and these airports are centrally located to this area. However, to protect the homeowner's privacy, the exact address will be given out to ticket holders upon booking confirmation. 
• Wondering where to stay? We reccomend staying at the Hampton Inn in Clinton, NJ due to its close proximity to this event. The caring and attentive staff at this hotel will ensure that your accomodations are diligently attended to and that you have an enjoyable stay.  

Space is extremely limited — secure your spot now and be part of pond-building, content-creating, brand-building history. A special thanks to Atlantic-Oase for sponsoring the equipment for the build!
