Planning a wedding? Let’s talk hotel blocks! When it comes to accommodating your guests, here’s a tip: stick to ONE hotel block rather than two. Here’s why: 1️⃣ Get the best rates & perks! Putting everyone in a single hotel means we can negotiate better rates for you and score awesome concessions. Who doesn’t love saving some cash while still enjoying luxury? 2️⃣ Smooth logistics for transportation! Coordinating shuttle services becomes a breeze when everyone is in one spot. Whether it’s getting to the venue or heading out for post-wedding adventures, keeping everyone together makes travel hassle-free. 3️⃣ Keep the party going! From brunch gatherings to after-party shenanigans, having everyone in one place makes it easy to stick together and enjoy every moment of your special weekend.

Every trip planned can be a memorable experience, especially if you do not get to travel often. The moment you walk into your hotel room is pure bliss, and everything looks perfect. From the bathroom's fluffy towels to the spacious bed's clean sheets, you can already feel your mind relaxing. You have a delicious meal by the beach the following day, and things keep improving. The waiter asks if you need anything else, and you thank them for their kind service. Showing kindness and generosity to the resort staff that makes your trip unforgettable is everything.

As someone who frequently visits hotels, I am always impressed when they go above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Getting an amenity upon arrival is always a nice touch, but the ones that stand out are the ones that are personalized to my interests. I recently stayed at the SLS Beverly Hills and was surprised with Cheetos and sweet/salty nuts as my amenity - it was different, fun and memorable. I challenge hotel salespeople to look beyond the standard amenity offerings and really personalize them to the guest's interests. For example, if they enjoy sports, incorporate a Sports Illustrated into the amenity. Or if they love to cook, how about an amenity that includes a recipe? Let's start the era of personalization in the hotel industry. #Personalization #Hotels #Travel #Hospitality

Collaboration focused on customer experience is key to long-term success. When travel companies unite their products to create better experiences, their customer base naturally expands. The travel industry stands out as the one sector where I've seen the highest customer satisfaction and retention. Customers seek repeated positive experiences. Simply put: make it convenient, and you'll succeed. Qatar Airways Marriott Bonvoy

I don’t think there is a true average number of events to expect to plan each year, but during peak wedding season I used to coordinate 4.5 weddings per month, when I worked in the concert world I would host shows and events 28 days out of the months, and when I worked in sports my schedule was determine by the team’s schedule. Essentially, the area of the events world that you fall into can determine how busy you may be. Overall, this world is not for the faint of heart and may not be ideal for those who live by a structured scheduled, as the hospitality industry can be one of the most unpredictable industries. #EventPlanning #EventManagement #HospitalityIndustry #Hotels #Restaurants #Tourism #WomenInHospitality
