“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.”

I’ve worked with Sarika on everything from small groups to citywide conferences with thousands of room nights, and she brings the same level of care and attention to every project. She genuinely wants the best for her clients and works tirelessly to deliver outstanding results.“
