It was a pleasure to host a wonderful group in Hilton Head Island last month for their Board of Directors meeting. The first night we organized a sunset dinner cruise, including centerpieces and entertainment. The second night, we provided table décor again and a wonderful steel drum player.

On the final day of our big four-day event earlier this month, the group split up for a variety of activities. One group headed down to Tybee Island where one they went kayaking and another visited Fort Jackson, the Tybee lighthouse, and did a beach ecology walk followed by a delicious lunch at North Beach Grill. Meanwhile, another group went downtown for a SCAD Museum of Art tour, lunch at the Gryphon Tea Room, and an art class where they painted the Forsyth Park fountain. For their final evening event, we arranged to have our friend Forrest Gump stop by as well as two storytellers and an aerialist. It was an incredible week for a wonderful group!

A four-day event means lots of activities and that’s exactly what we provided for this awesome group last month. In typical Savannah style, the first night they kicked off their event with dinner at The Olde Pink House. On the second day, we arranged for a cooking lesson at Chef Darins Kitchen Table - Hands-on Cooking Classes & Kitchen Store and clay shooting, followed by an evening event at the Roundhouse. At their awards dinner on the third night, we arranged for a spectacular watercolor artist to provide portraits for the guests.

A scavenger hunt through downtown Savannah followed by a delicious dinner at Soho South Cafe makes for a wonderful day! Our awesome staff had a great time hosting this group (another repeat client!), handing out prizes to the first and last-place teams, and showing off our beautiful city.

Earlier this month we had the pleasure of hosting one of our repeat clients at the Hyatt Regency Savannah. We provided décor, games, and entertainment courtesy of our friend Georgia Kyle. It’s always a treat to get to work with great clients over and over again!

Kristin attended 3 great sessions and an awards dinner at the ADMEI Conference yesterday. Benji Harris with Song Division performed a fantastic song for the outgoing president as he does every year, and Kristin was thrilled to be able to attend the Hot List session, which hasn’t happened since a month before the COVID shutdown in 2020. It has been a great week at this awesome conference!

02/24/2024

Yesterday was another action-packed day at the ADMEI Conference for Kristin. She attended several excellent sessions, including a DMC owners and general managers round table, a fascinating session about AI in the meetings and events industry, and a planners panel. She capped off the day with a great offsite event at Flight Club.

02/23/2024

On the second day of the ADMEI Conference, Kristin was one of the speakers on the DMC Institute panel where she discussed several topics, including the role of a DMC, an overview of DMC core services, tours and teambuilding, transportation, special events, and meeting services. She also got to participate in a tour of Amusement Masters' warehouse to see all of their equipment and games where she volunteered to be the first person to try out their human claw machine!

02/21/2024

Today kicked off the first day of the 2024 ADMEI Annual Conference, and Kristin is excited to be attending and presenting this week. Her first stop was the Certification and Accreditation Board Meeting, which she really enjoyed as she is passionate about continuing education and teaching event management courses at Savannah Technical College. She also attended the DMCP Study Session and enjoyed listening and being a part of the review.

On the second day of the ISEE event, we hosted them for a fun morning of goat yoga where the attendees got to experience some relaxing stretches alongside some very cute, furry friends. On the third day, we arranged for a tour of the historic district with stops at the Andrew Low House and Davenport House and a delicious lunch at Vic’s on the River. It was a great week!

02/15/2024

Last month, we helped host the International Society of Explosives Engineers - ISEE for a city-wide event that brought more than 1,800 attendees to town! We planned a number of activities for them over the course of their three-day stay, including a game center where they held several competitions. We had a rock-climbing wall, s***t ball, a roller derby game with horse racing, and a high striker. It was a fun way for them to indulge in some friendly competition and get to know their peers.

02/13/2024

We had a blast hosting this group last week on a beautiful February night at the Georgia State Railroad Museum. In addition to a delicious dinner, they were able to see a live blacksmith demo and a train demo!

01/23/2024

Earlier this month, we helped coordinate an action-packed four-day event for a wonderful group. We provided a variety of activities and entertainment for the event, including a band for their opening night event, a delicious dinner at the The Original Crab Shack, a spouse activity day featuring visits to Salacia Salts, Savannah Bee Company and the Gryphon Tea Room, a dine-a-round event at The Olde Pink House, 45 Bistro, Vic's On The River, and Garibaldi, a ghost tour, a pontoon boat tour of the Georgia Ports Authority and the Savannah River, and a closing event at Savannah Station. It’s always a pleasure to get to show off our beautiful city and work with so many incredible vendors and friends in one week!

01/17/2024

We kicked off 2024 with a bang, hosting a wonderful group of more than 400 people and running 12 tours over two days! The guests got to choose from a wide variety of activities like a pontoon boat tour, axe throwing, praline making, a historic Savannah tour, a visit to Old Fort Jackson, and more! It was a great way to kick off the new year.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Annual Laidir Women in Hospitality Luncheon at the Savannah Yacht Club. As a special treat, the group got to hear a preview of Regina Graham - Songwriter's new holiday single “Red Hot Holiday.” This awesome song will be released before Christmas, so be on the lookout!

12/01/2023

We had a blast planning this action-packed event. The group first enjoyed a tour of the Georgia Ports Authority, followed by a delicious lunch at Vic's On The River, a tour of the Historic District, a praline-making class at Chef Darins Kitchen Table - Hands-on Cooking Classes & Kitchen Store, and a tour and tasting at Service Brewing.

Earlier this month, we helped organize a fun two-day event for a special group. The first event took place at the Roundhouse Blacksmith Shop, where we provided event management, transportation, lighting, centerpieces, food, and a cigar bar. The next day’s event was at The Mackey House, where we provided event management, transportation, décor, and food. It was a great event for a great group of people!

11/27/2023

Music makes every event better, so we were thrilled to arrange two musical events for a recent group. On the first day, we had 8 Mile Bend play for their evening event at the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort, and on the second day, we set up a fun happy hour event at Savannah Smiles Dueling Pianos bar. 🎤🎹

Wishing you a very safe and happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

It was an honor to help coordinate Capital Development Partners’ groundbreaking event for the new Central Port Logistics Center last week. This new center will provide streamlined access to the ports, I-16, I-95, and other major roadways. Despite the soggy weather, everyone still had a great time celebrating this monumental occasion.

A fun night for a fun group! Our clients bought out The Bamboo Room Tiki Bar and Rooftop Bar at Sorry Charlie's Oyster Bar for an evening of great food, drinks, and entertainment. We provided a strolling magician, a strolling Blackjack girl, and a DJ to make for an even more awesome evening.

Bar Julian at the Thompson Savannah hotel is a wonderful spot for a relaxing evening event. Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting this fun group who rented out the entire rooftop bar for their event after finishing up a great tour of the Historic District.

We were thrilled to work with the Georgia Ports Authority to help plan the 2023 State of the Port luncheon, which was attended by more than 1200 people at the Savannah Convention Center yesterday. It was an honor to work closely with the GPA events team to execute this highly anticipated, sold-out luncheon that is held annually to give key partners within the industry an update on the status and growth of our bustling port and the global supply chain.

Beautiful weather, fun games, a visit from Forrest Gump, and a riverboat cruise with dueling pianos. A great event for a great group!
