Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do you do?
I specialize in hotel sourcing and contract negotiation for meetings and events.
I help you:
find hotels that fit your dates, budget, and meeting needs
manage the RFP and proposal process
compare rates, space, and concessions
negotiate the contract to protect your time, budget, and peace of mind
You run the meeting.
I handle everything before the agreement is signed.
Are you a meeting planner?
No. I’m not a full-service meeting or event planner.
I don’t handle:
agendas or speakers
event design or décor
onsite management
registration or transportation
My specialty is — hotel sourcing and contract negotiation — so your team can focus on content, attendees, and the experience.
What does “hotel sourcing” mean?
Hotel sourcing includes:
sending your meeting details (RFP) to suitable hotels
collecting and organizing proposals
comparing rates, dates, space, and fees
narrowing down options
negotiating terms and concessions
It’s essentially concierge-level help to find and secure the right hotel for your program.
How much do your services cost?
My services are completely free to you. Hotels pay my commission (just like a travel agent or hotels.com), so your budget stays intact. My loyalty is always to my clients.
Why should I use a meeting broker instead of going directly to hotels?
Going directly to hotels can mean:
slower response times
inconsistent proposals
confusing fees and terms
a lot of extra work on your plate
When you work with me, you get:
one central point of contact
curated hotel options
faster answers
stronger negotiation leverage
better contract protections
All while saving time (and often money).
Do I have to sign a contract with you?
No. At Meetings Made Easy, we don’t require client contracts. We believe in earning your trust through great service, not paperwork.
Are you tied to any specific hotels or brands?
No. I am brand-neutral.
I work with:
major brands (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, IHG, Accor, Omni, Loews, Fairmont, MGM Resorts, etc.)
independent and boutique hotels
resorts and conference centers
My recommendations are based on what’s best for your meeting, not what’s best for the hotel.
Where can you help me source meetings?
Though I’m based in Denver, Colorado, I source hotels:
across the United States
in Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico
in many international destinations
If there’s a hotel in the destination you’re considering, I can usually help.
What type of meetings do you support?
I support a wide range of programs, including:
board and leadership retreats
annual conferences
sales meetings and trainings
association and nonprofit events
multi-day or multi-year programs
From small executive groups to large conferences, I help you find the right fit.
When should I involve you in the process?
Ideally, as early as possible — before you reach out to hotels.
That gives us the best leverage on:
dates and space
rates and concessions
cancellation and attrition terms
any construction or renovation concerns
If you’ve already started talking with hotels, I can still step in to help review proposals and contracts.
Can you help social, nonprofits or associations with tight budgets?
Yes. Many of my clients are social groups (weddings, competitions, family reunions), nonprofits or associations. I help find budget-friendly options, fair terms, and strong concessions to maximize value.
Do you offer event planning or on-site event services?
We do! If you need help beyond hotel sourcing — such as event planning, program support, or on-site services — Meetings Made Easy has a dedicated events team that can assist.
These services are separate from what I provide and are paid services, but I’m happy to connect you with the right person to talk through what you need.
What is it like to work with you?
Friendly, responsive, honest, and collaborative. I tailor my approach to your needs and keep communication clear, fast, and easy. I like to tell my clients I am like their favorite AI platform. The more you use me, the better I get. The more time we spend together I better understand you, your organization and what you are looking for. I always appreciate honest and constructive feedback because this allows me to continue growing.
