WHO I AM.

Hi, I’m Amanda Butler — and I make meetings easier.

After more than two decades in the meetings and hospitality industry, I’ve learned one thing: organizations are overwhelmed.
Finding the right hotel… waiting for responses… comparing proposals… negotiating contracts… trying to understand fees, attrition, and clauses…

It’s a lot — especially for people who already have full-time jobs.

That’s where I come in.

I specialize in hotel sourcing and contract negotiation for meetings and events.

I work with companies, nonprofits, and associations to:

  • identify hotels that match their meeting needs

  • manage the entire RFP and sourcing process

  • evaluate proposals and negotiate pricing and concessions

  • protect them through smart, customized contract language

  • ensure they feel confident before they ever sign

You run the meeting — I handle everything before the agreement is finalized.

And because hotels pay my commission after your event, there is no cost to you for my sourcing services.

Why I do this work

I spent years working inside hotels and on the destination side — from sales offices to CVBs. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming hotel sourcing and contracting can be for planners, admins, and executives who don’t live in this world every day.

I heard the same frustrations repeatedly:

  • “I don’t know what’s a fair rate.”

  • “Why won’t the hotel call me back?”

  • “What does this clause even mean?”

  • “What if they’re renovating and don’t tell me?”

  • “I don’t have time for this.”

I can solve those exact problems.

My clients get the benefit of someone who:

✔ knows how hotels operate
✔ speaks the hotel language
✔ negotiates with confidence
✔ sees the red flags
✔ protects their budget
✔ reduces their workload

I act as an extension of your team — and sometimes a safety net you didn’t know you needed.

My philosophy

Service first. Protection always. Transparency in everything.
I believe sourcing a hotel shouldn’t feel stressful or confusing. You deserve support, clarity, and someone looking out for your best interests — not the hotel’s.

I bring honesty, calm, attention to detail, and a sense of partnership to every meeting I source.

Who I work with

I support organizations of all sizes, including:

  • corporations

  • associations

  • nonprofits

  • educational institutions

  • boards & executive teams

  • faith-based groups

  • government organizations

Whether you’re planning a board retreat, a national conference, or a multi-city meeting schedule, I work to find the right hotel — not just any hotel.

What it’s like to work with me

Clients often tell me:

“Amanda made the process so easy.”
“Her contract knowledge saved us thousands.”
“We felt taken care of every step of the way.”
“We’ll never source a hotel without her again.”

My approach is personal. Responsive. Honest.
And always centered on protecting your time, your budget, and your peace of mind.

A little more about me

I’m based in Denver, Colorado and when I’m not sourcing hotels or reviewing contracts, you can usually find me:

  • traveling (for work and fun!)

  • exploring new destinations

  • spending time with my husband and grown kids (and pets!)

  • discovering great food

  • or dreaming up my next big project

I love what I do — and I love helping people feel confident and supported in their meeting decisions.

Let’s work together

If you're planning a meeting and want help finding the right hotel — or just need someone to take the sourcing and contracting off your shoulders — I’d love to help.
