Posted on | by Joe Mo | 1 Comment on Venue Spotlight: Stop #3 on the Classic Southeast Roadshow – Grand Bohemian Lodge, Greenville, South Carolina

Its our final Roadshow of 2022! This one promises to be the biggest of them all! Be sure to join us at one of our stops as we end this BIG year in a BIG way.

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s start with a little background on our second stop on the Classic Southeast Roadshow: Grand Bohemian, Greenville
Perched on the falls of the iconic Reedy River, this luxury lodge is inspired by the spirit of Greenville with carefully curated detailing that pays tribute to surrounding Falls Park. Opening in August 2022 this brand new luxury 187-room hotel in downtown Greenville became the 11th property in the exclusive Kessler Collection. You know we love brand new properties at Retreats Resources! We don’t even wait for the dust to settle to test them out. And we are sure you are going to love this one.

Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Nico Abello, is overseeing the three food and beverage concepts at the Lodge, including Between the Trees, named for its location overlooking Falls Park, Spirit & Bower, a bourbon bar and lounge, and The lobby bar, inspired by bubbles and caviar. And you know how we love our bubbles!!

Come join us in Greenville and see for yourself on Thursday, November 3rd, 9:30 am – 10:00 am VIP Newcomers’ Reception for first time guests ONLY (so we can get to know you!), 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Luxury destination showcase with over 50 exhibitors, and 12:00 – 2:00 pm for lunch and networking.

We look forward to welcoming you to Grand Bohemian on November 3rd and the third stop on the Classic Southeast Roadshow!

Roadshow Life: Making Connections Over Good Food and Good Deeds

Posted on | by Joe Mo | Leave a Comment on Roadshow Life: Making Connections Over Good Food and Good Deeds

If you know us you know we love good food! Each Roadshow event takes in to careful consideration a curated dining experience for our attendees and hotel partners.

Depending on the region we are in, of course, you may find yourself having a fine dining experience with us, or grazing on a beautiful mezze board or sampling a full plant-based meal to stuffing yourself with comfort food. One thing we know is no one walks away hungry from our Roadshow events! Food is one of our favorite experiences to bring you when you attend. There’s nothing like good conversation over good food!

You know what else we do well and love to do?
Give back.

Thanks to our generous hotel partners we have been able to auction off incredible travel packages at each of our recent Roadshows. Our fabulous meeting and event planner attendees then get the opportunity to bid on these travel packages during the travel showcase. Some of them are once in a life time trips!

The money from those auctions then goes to one of our favorite charities, Wine to Water, who this year, in a time of desperate need, has a fund to help people in Ukraine.

To date, in 2022, Retreats Resources has proudly raised and donated $42,000 for the Wine to Water Ukraine Fund! Thanks to our extremely giving family of hotel partners and meeting planners.

You make us proud every day we get to do something like this and give back.

To everyone who has joined us in 2022 so far…Thank you!
