Looking for an estate in mexico/ latin america with at least 15-20 rooms, for a retreat experience. The one constraint is we don't want external guests at the property, so it has to be a full hotel buyout or a full estate etc. Does anyone have any recs or know the best platforms to look on 👀 ? Thank you!!
Depends how luxe you want but if you want super luxe go to hacienda de San Antonio and another good option less luxe is mar de jade
hacienda de San Antonio is really something else 🔥 where do you go to source these out of curiosity?
Honestly just my past travel through the lens of a planner. I went to a retreat at mar de jade and always kept it in my back pocket
amazing, well thank you so much for passing that on!!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a private room at a bar (in Manhattan) to host an event for a non profit I’m part of.
Details:
Very low budget-like $1500 (food not necessary)
Approx 60-75 ppl.
Date tbd but tues-thurs
We'd likely do either open bar for an hour/drink tickets and then cash bar for remainder.
The non profit benefits a cause within the Jewish community, so bonus if owner of bar supports said community, as I may be able to negotiate a bit easier due to vested interest in potential support of non profit mission.
Thank you in advance for any leads!

One of our clients is looking for a scenic nature place (preferably secluded) with accommodation and activity space for 40-50 people. 4 days (3 nights). Arrive on a Thursday, stay on Friday/Saturday, and leave on a Sunday. Location preference is South Carolina, North Carolina or the southern Virginia region. Not interested in locations with religious affiliation. Community building theme, peaceful and inspiring is the vibe. Event dates are flexible; looking at doing the event two times a year; fall and summer. Need meeting space, breakout space, and outdoor activity space. Full-service venue; service staff, dining facilities, housekeeping, etc. I appreciate any input from venue suggestions to partnering on wow’ing this client.

Hi all! We have two events in New York, Nov 29 and Dec 6, and the hotel rates started high and have reached crazy high levels. Attendees pay their own hotel and we don't do blocks for these smaller meetings. I expected the rates to be higher due to proximity to holidays but even the most basic hotels are at $1000/night. Any creative ideas for how to help our attendees find something reasonable? Hidden gems with miracle prices? Stay outside the city and offer a shuttle? I am open to anything!
What: New Jersey-East Asia Economic Mission
Where: Tokyo, Hiroshima, Seoul, Taipei, Hsinchu
When: October 13-22, 2023
Who: 60+ delegates
What went well:
• The delegates were thrilled to go on New Jersey’s most expansive economic mission ever. 40+ MOUs, partnerships, and important contracts were signed, including a drivers license reciprocity agreement with NJ and the Korean National Police association.
• Positive press all around. We got lots of write-ups in local media. Having a reporter on the ground with us helped.
• Governor Murphy was able to meet with the head of state in every country - not something all Govs get to do. He even brought a guitar signed by Bon Jovi as a gift for a music-loving high-ranking individual.
• Overall, I just can’t believe I successfully planned logistics, managed 90 meetings/sessions/events, and moved 60+ people, including the Gov, his family, and their security, across so many countries/cities with no major issues. Definitely my biggest accomplishment ever.
For next time:
• My events team was way too small (ie, it was a one-woman show of just me) and I lost not only an extraordinary amount of sleep but my mind a few times too. I’m advocating for an event coordinator to be added to my team now.
• Hoping for a longer lead planning time for the next economic mission.
• Still learning to navigate the world of politics/politicians. Personalities, rules, and processes much different than I’m used to.
• Need to buy comfortable shoes. My plantar fasciitis was really on fire this whole time with the literal running around we had to do. In the past, I could wear sneakers but with this crowd I had to be in dress shoes all the time. My Naturalizer loafers did not deliver on the promised support. Time to buy good insoles!
Looking for an affordable florist for a dinner - part of a sales kick off in LA. The event is at the JW Marriott LA Live. Not a huge budget - $6K.

Hello, all. I’m taking about 25 female executives from Boston to NYC to meet their executive community counterparts for two days of fun and connections. These women know each other through an online community but may or may not have met in person yet. We have some receptions and meetups scheduled, but I am also interested in an intimate dinner location that I can work with to craft the ideal dining experience, with beautiful decor/an all-inclusive curated menu, in a unique setting. I would love two recommendations: 1. Favorite 4-5 star hotels in Flatiron District with a contact name 2. Restaurant recommendation for dinner for 30. This is not a sponsored event, so the ladies will all be paying on their own; as a member of the Community, I am looking to build in some structure! Welcome your expertise!
