We Plan the Kind of Retreats People Talk About for Years
Without you drowning in logistics.
We select only a handful of retreats to plan each year. Book a call to see if you’re a fit!
Most Company Retreats Are a Waste of Money. Yours Doesn’t Have to Be.
A retreat should be the highlight of the year…
A chance to step away, think big, and bring your team closer.
But we all know what comes next:
The planning gets handed off to someone who’s already stretched thin
They’ve never booked venues, negotiated contracts, or designed an experience
You give them your credit card and a deadline and hope for magic
What you get is boring dinners, awkward icebreakers, and team leads checking their email under the table.
Or maybe you brought in a big retreat company that sells the same copy/paste agenda to 50 other clients.
The end result?
You’re exhausted. Your team is underwhelmed. And you have a 6 figure invoice to pay.
What a Well-Planned Retreat Actually Looks Like
It’s easy to throw money at a retreat.
What’s hard is making it matter.
Most company offsites look good on paper but fall flat in person.
You’ve seen it before…
The schedule is packed, but somehow still misses the point.
The venue is beautiful, but something about it feels… off.
People show up, but they stay in work mode. Or worse, they check out entirely.
That’s not what a retreat should be.
A real retreat creates change, not just rest.
It clears the noise.
It sparks the next idea.
It brings people back into alignment with each other and with the mission.
That kind of experience doesn’t happen by accident.
And it’s why we don’t run a retreat factory.
I take on just a few hand-selected clients each year.
Because doing this well takes more than a template and a task list…
It takes obsession.
Obsession with the flow of the day.
Obsession with how the space feels when your team walks in.
Obsession with making sure every dollar is spent with purpose.
If you want something quick and dirty that’s been done 100 times, move on. We’re not for you.
But if you’re looking for something truly tailored, something your team will feel when they walk in the room and remember long after they’ve left…
Let’s talk.
Why Should You Listen to Me?

I’m obsessed with creating experiences that wow guests.
Each event I plan is intentional, immersive, and designed to leave attendees raving—and it shows!

FAQS
How far in advance should we plan?
Ideally, 3–6 months ahead gives us the best venue options and creative space. That said, I’ve pulled off unforgettable retreats on tighter timelines too.Can you help with content or facilitation?
Yes. If you want help shaping the agenda, leading sessions, or bringing in great facilitators, I can build that in. You decide how hands-on or hands-off you want to be.What if I don’t know my budget yet?
That’s exactly what the free Retreat Roadmap is for. I’ll help you explore what’s possible at different budget levels and avoid common mistakes that can cost thousands.What size teams do you work with?
Most retreats are between 6–50 people, but I’ve worked with both smaller executive teams and larger company-wide groups. It’s less about size and more about your goals.What if we can’t afford to hire a planner?
Hiring a planner feels like a luxury, until you realize how much time, money, and stress it actually saves.
Because of my vendor relationships, contract experience, and budget strategy, I often help clients save thousands by avoiding mistakes, negotiating better deals, and focusing their budget where it matters most.
Even if we don’t work together, the free Retreat Roadmap will help you avoid expensive missteps and plan smarter from the start.
Will you work with our internal team or assistant?
Absolutely. I can either take the lead or collaborate with someone on your team. My job is to make things smoother for everyone in whatever capacity you need me.Why should I work with you instead of a bigger agency?
Because I don’t do cookie-cutter. I only take on a few retreats each year so I can go deep with each client. If you want something truly tailored, you’re in the right place.What’s the first step?
