The standard incentive trip gets you a resort buyout and a gift bag. What we build is different.
We've produced a 35-couple private event during peak Mardi Gras: full French Quarter buyout, five-phase evening architecture, guests who rebooked the following year before they left New Orleans. We've produced multi-city European programs through Madrid, Vigo, and Porto for international energy executives who needed every detail handled invisibly.
What we don't do: hand you a vendor list and a mood board. What we do: take the brief, build the architecture, manage every vendor relationship, and hand you a group of guests who won't stop talking about it.
The proof35 couples. 4 nights. Peak Mardi Gras.
Full French Quarter buyout for a private investor group during peak Carnival.
A private investor group wanted something nobody else could pull off: a full Mardi Gras experience, during the most impossible weekend of the year in New Orleans, for 35 couples, with every detail handled. No compromise. No tourist version.
We secured a full French Quarter property buyout during peak Carnival. Built a five-phase evening architecture around the group: private cocktails, parade viewing from a dedicated premium position, a second line through the Quarter with a brass band, a sit-down dinner at a venue that doesn't take reservations during Mardi Gras, and a late-night experience that put them exactly where the city actually lives that weekend.
Every guest confirmed the following year's trip before they left New Orleans.
36 guests. Two weeks. A sold-out F1 weekend.
Turning a Paddock Club suite into a choreographed weekend at Formula 1 Austin.
Two weeks out from Formula 1 Austin, a top-tier sponsor came to us with the Paddock Club suite already locked in: 36 of their most important guests, premium access secured. But a box is a commodity. Every sponsor can buy one. They wanted the thing you can't buy—an experience that felt intentional from the first minute to the last.
When practice ended and everyone else walked into the crowds and gridlock heading to the Billy Joel concert, we kept our guests in the suite for a private-chef dinner: curated menu, no lines, no chaos. Then private transportation carried them from the suite straight to the show—no walk, no friction. At the concert we'd negotiated side-stage access: their own zone, a dedicated bartender, private restrooms, high-top tables, and a view of the stage most people never get. For anyone who wanted to stay on, lounge access at The Chainsmokers set with bottle service and front-row positioning.
None of it was automatic. The routing, the chef, the side-stage access—all of it took negotiation and relationships the client didn't have and couldn't build in fourteen days. Most producers would have needed six weeks.
What a program looks like
The details that make it work.
Typically, clients come to us when...
- They organize an annual group trip and the last one felt like a travel agency put it together
- They have a high-value investor or client group and want an experience that deepens the relationship, not just entertains
- They've done the standard resort buyout and want something their guests have never seen
- They want the group asking "where are we going next year?" before they've even unpacked

The distinctionA producer. Not a planner.
A planner books the flights and finds the restaurant. A producer designs the architecture of the trip: what happens in what order, what the group feels at each moment, what the experience builds toward, and what invisible work makes all of it look effortless.
That's the distinction we're built for. If you're organizing a group trip and you need someone to own the outcome, not manage the checklist, that's us.
