What I love about working with 38NC and Sarika is all of my needs for the meeting are taken care of.

Sarika’s patience and ability to flex pre site visit and during was exceptional. I really appreciated that she stuck with us through the delayed answers and went to bat during contracting to get us the best concessions and really work with us on getting the best rate and within budget.

Having never worked with a sourcer before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Sarika made the process seamless. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions—some I hadn’t even considered—and quickly understood exactly what I needed. Because of her strong relationships with the hotels, she was able to offer valuable insights and recommendations that made all the difference.

MJ is exactly the sort of partner you want on your side. She helped secure an incredible venue and negotiate a package that was shockingly good. She made the entire process seamless, was incredibly proactive and responsive and maybe most importantly is an absolute pleasure to work with. Looking forward to the next time we have the pleasure of working with her.

I have adored working with MJ on numerous projects at Notion – she is an incredible partner.

I have worked with MJ now 2 years in a row to plan our company-wide retreats and she has been incredibly helpful both times. From our initial goal-setting conversations, to site selection, and down to final hotel negotiations, MJ advised us each step of the way and made sure our program went off without a hitch. We recently brought 60 people to Puerto Rico and our employees can’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed it! We’re looking forward to working with MJ and her team again next year.
