When it comes to planning warm-weather events, there can be a lot of pressure to make them feel like paradise. From themed catering to décor, every element can be customized for a fully immersive experience, but it takes time to get every detail right. Tackling everything by yourself can make your to-do list feel never-ending, and the vision you have in your head feels impossible.
So, what’s the secret that seasoned planners don’t tell you? They partner with the right people.
Behind the scenes of every pro planner are their trusted partners who understand their goals, style, and process. Without the need for onboarding or extra context, consistent partners work with you to make your events unforgettable. And there’s nothing like finding a kindred spirit who just gets it so that you can trust them to execute your vision without any surprises.
Just getting it is Cultivate’s bread and butter. After decades of working with countless planners stretched thin trying to do everything at once, we realized there was a better way to do event and corporate gifting by prioritizing the needs of planners and the wants of their attendees.
Through gifting with choice, training professional On-site Staff, and sourcing the best gifts around, Cultivate has spent the last 14+ years partnering with event planners to create gifting programs that meet the highest standards.
