Who we plan for
01
Company offsites & retreats
Leadership offsites, strategy sessions, team retreats and company kickoffs.
Time away to set strategy, align a leadership team, or bring a growing company together. The right setting will bring out the best outcomes for your team and pay dividends for your customers.
02
Incentive travel
President’s Club trips, sales incentives and recognition experiences.
Recognition that feels personal to the people who earned it. Set next year's tone and targets in a place that feels like a true reward.
03
Community & affinity groups
Parent association getaways, alumni trips and community retreats.
Thoughtful getaways for schools, clubs, and communities that want real time together. Whether it’s a wellness retreat, your PTA or for your own brand, we make it easy to bring people together around a shared goal and space.
Two ways to work together
Choose the part you want off your plate.
VENUE SOURCING
You lead the event. We find the perfect place.
A curated shortlist of hotels and venues for your group, budget and goals, with competitive proposals you can compare side by side. I negotiate rates, room blocks and contract terms, and stay in touch with the property until you arrive. You run the program.
Complimentary to your company
FULL-SERVICE PLANNING
You bring the people. We handle the details.
Everything in venue sourcing, plus the program around it: meeting space and agenda timing, dining and activities, ground transportation, and guest coordination from room lists to dietary needs. You receive a detailed schedule for every day.
Flat planning fee, quoted per retreat
Why LGV
I’ve been the person who has to make the offsite work.
Before founding LGV, I led strategy and operations teams at Meta, Uber and Walmart. I was the one getting the budget approved, aligning stakeholders, setting the agenda and making sure a busy team arrived ready to think.
I know how much rides on a few days away, and how much of the planning lands on someone who already has a full-time job. That’s the part I take off your plate, with the same rigor I once brought to my own team’s offsites.
Emily Grant, Founder
Operational rigor, with a hospitality eye.
You get a clear brief and a short list of strong options with my recommendation, so decisions take one meeting, not five. Contracts, room lists, dietary needs and changes come to me, and you get plain answers on cost and timing.
As a Virtuoso partner and independent advisor with Fora Travel, I work with a network of hotels and partners that gives you competitive pricing and room to negotiate, with numbers your finance team can follow. And because I choose places I know, the setting works as hard as the agenda: daylight in the meeting room, a dinner worth lingering over, space to think.
Every booking is confirmed in writing and checked again before you travel, so when the day comes, you can be present with your team.
Retreat inquiry
Start with a conversation.
The first step is a 30-minute call about your group’s goals, dates and budget. Share a few details here (rough answers are fine) and I’ll reply within one to two business days to find a time.
From there, I’ll come back with a shortlist of venues that fit, along with my recommendation.
