She was wonderful.  It saved me a great deal of time in negotiations – like myself, these women know the ins and outs of hotel contracts (I used to work with them during my hotel days).  Basically, Bea was able to negotiate everything that I would have negotiated and I didn’t have to lift a figure – 20% attrition in a US market which is huge.   Also, they know to look out for all the legal jargon, keep up with cut-off dates and really any necessary hand-holding.   Also, meeting planners will do all the hotel sourcing prior to hotel selection – she literally created a spreadsheet for me of all available hotels and all I had to do was choose.  They are compensated by the hotel as they see a ‘meeting planner’ as a continual business partner.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bea over the last few months in assisting to secure a suitable venue for our interstate conference of 150 delegates. I was initially impressed with Bea’s enthusiasm, communication skills, and professional demeanor. She always kept me up to date either by phone or email and no task was too difficult. Her ability to constantly keep me in the loop was very important as we had a lot of ground to cover and we didn’t want to miss any vital information. From the beginning, Bea hit the ground running – saving me time to concentrate on other tasks - and it is because of her excellence in this area! Of particular value to me was Bea’s summary of all the venues she proposed. All the information I required was presented in one document. Bea is reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat. She is a hardworking, top-performing venue finder professional. She has my highest recommendation, and I would not hesitate in utilizing her expertise in the future.

I just recently worked with Bea on coordinating a conference for our company in New York. I am based out of Chicago and know absolutely nothing about good hotels and restaurants in New York. Bea came to the rescue!!! Bea is extremely prompt when it comes to responding to calls/emails and is very thorough in her execution. She asked me questions right away I didn't even consider, and after she had all the information she needed from me, she ran with it. The next time I heard from her (within just a few days) she had put together an entire report including pricing, locations, additional ancillary items along with helpful graphics. It was very helpful when it came to presenting options to my superiors. I will definitely reach out to Bea next time I have to coordinate an event. If you are looking for high-level research for your next event Bea is your go-to resource!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Bea on a recent event. I was particularly impressed by Bea’s ability to handle even the toughest requests—effortlessly. I look forward to utilizing her services again soon. She makes the rigorous process of hotel and venue sourcing seem effortless. I will also add that she is an excellent negotiator, helping me to stay within budget while not sacrificing quality. I am pleased to recommend Bea for any of your hotel and venue sourcing needs.
