From Tanisha: I love a good downtown venue because I am always in the countryside. And let me tell you – in my 30’s, I would be all about the afterparty, but now, it’s the sunrise wellness session for me! This hike at Xpiral Esplanade was well worth the 5:00 AM alarm. The views of Playa del Carmen were breathtaking!

Unconventional or unexpected venues can delight attendees and spark creativity. 👀 a few trends we’re loving.

🌿 Nature incorporated into meeting spaces (with living trees, plant walls, etc - more than just floral centerpieces). Calm or designated lounges are also popular for giving attendees space to decompress. Bonus if you incorporate sounds and scent for a full sensory experience.

💥Experiential activations. Attendees want more interaction at events versus sitting in a general session for hours. Building out this smash room for our client was one way we brought their event’s mission to life. Their goal was take away barriers and stress on their attendee’s path to success, and the attendees experienced that by “Shattering the stress to simplify their success”.

🏞️Low logistics, high value. Attendees will remember when you choose a unique venue with character. “Remember the sales meeting we had in the…vault, barrel room, vineyard, castle…etc. EPIC!” And planner bonus? There’s not a need to bring in a ton of decor or build outs.

Where are you going to meet next? Drop your most unconventional meeting spot in the comments so we can inspire each other!

💡 Lighting changes everything. The right setup makes your florals pop, your guests glow, and your photos look editorial-ready.

We’ve transformed plain spaces into magical escapes with uplighting, and turned outdoor venues into cozy, inviting scenes with lanterns and soft string lights.

If you want your event to feel elevated and inviting, start with lighting.

📍 Location, location, location! Meet somewhere your attendees want to meet. Hint: as an IATA accredited agent, we’ll give you options and help with contract negotiation at no cost to you!

💝 Think outside the box with your team building. Giving back to the local community, or “volun-tourism” is a great way to share your company ethos and make a positive impact with your group. We can help you find an organization that aligns with your mission!

🫶🏻 Bring your attendees together with activities that are meaningful to your organization. High powered sales team? Try a competitive bootcamp class. Focus on wellness? Try a group cooking class!

If your decor budget is a little tight, here’s one of our favorite strategies to elevate the event: leverage your guests’ attire!

Instead of relying solely on florals and rentals, guide the vibe through a well-designed Guest Style Guide — think: what to pack, what colors to wear, and how to show up in a way that reflects the event’s tone.

👗 Why it works:

✔️ Creates a cohesive visual experience
✔️ Makes event photos pop 📸
✔️ Strengthens the overall vibe and guest connection
✔️ Budget-friendly and impactful
✔️ Guests feel involved and excited

It’s a creative, inclusive way to bring the vision to life — and proof that thoughtful planning always wins over big spending.

Have you ever seen an event team photo quite like this? 😉 Probably not, and here’s why: This wasn’t luck. This was Barcelona, backstage on a hillside during a concert on our final day. It happened because every single element we planned and executed ran so flawlessly, we earned this moment of calm together.

We usually forget (or are too exhausted!) for a proper team shot. Most end up being cross-eyed, sweaty, mid-chaos captures. But this? This makes me incredibly proud.

It’s proof of our journey, our synergy, and what happens when meticulous planning meets passion. We’re more than a team; we’re an event family, captured here looking and feeling proud of what we created together.

To my UNRL family: We don’t just plan events. We create experiences. We don’t just work together. We rise together.

Site selection is one of the most overlooked parts of event planning. It’s about more than the look and feel of the venue; it’s all about how the venue helps you achieve your event’s goals.

Picture this: you initially plan for four small breakouts but suddenly need two large ones—only to find you contracted the one large ballroom and four specific breakout spaces with no room to grow.

Or you estimate 425 sleeping rooms per night and sign the contract for that many rooms without considering the full cost—room rate, tax, resort fees, staffing for load-in/load-out— and now you’re facing serious budget impact because the F&B minimum and rate structure don’t actually work, or you’re looking at attrition because you won’t meet that room night commitment.

That’s where we come in. Our IATA credential means we negotiate site selection with no cost to you and our venue partnerships bring you even more value. Our experience with groups of all sizes helps to direct these conversations from the beginning and prevent these issues from happening in the first place.

Meet Dyllan, our creative visionary! 🚀

Dyllan is the mastermind behind turning themes and ideas into unforgettable experiences. Her gift lies in bringing visions to life through color, decor, digital and print styles and the tiniest, most thoughtful details. If we can’t find a vendor to make it happen — Dyllan will do it herself.
She has a way of transforming what might seem like a difficult project into something fun and meaningful for our team — like hand-beading custom keychains for each attendee. Her creativity turns moments like that into team bonding nights, complete with a movie and a bottle of wine (well, maybe not for her — she’s also managing a 2.5-year-old and a newborn at home!).

Her ideas and creative energy are the heartbeat of every event we produce, and we’re so lucky to have her leading the charge ✨.

UNRL events foster connections that matter in environments that inspire ✨.

📅 Your program agenda timing matters — because the real ROI of an event? It’s in the hallway chats, rooftop mixers, and post-session laughs.

🥂 Pro tip: Always host your bars and include fancy mocktails. Drink tickets kill the vibe. A little liquid courage = deeper connections + better networking.

Small shifts, massive impact. Elevating your corporate event doesn’t always require a total overhaul. These five quick upgrades can take your guest experience from ‘meh’ to ‘memorable.’ Which would you do?

Heard the term ‘activation’ but not quite sure what it means for your event? Activations are all about bringing your event to life by surprising and delighting your attendees. Scroll through to see a few examples from a recent event we did.

✨ “Shatter Your Stress” - a pop-up smash room got the energy moving for these creators
✨ “Letters to Future You” – writing your goals is the first step to making them happen
✨ “You’re On the Cover” – see yourself as Creator of the Year
✨ “Live Printing” – screen print your swag, your way, in front of you

Activations are where your message becomes an experience. What are your favorite activations? We’d love to hear about it in the comments!

Let’s talk F&B! The contracted food & beverage minimums are rarely what you will actually spend on food & beverage. With the right approach, most venues will reduce F&B requirements by 15-25% during contract negotiation—but only if you know exactly what to ask for and when. We’ve got your back – let UNRL manage your site selection and contract negotiation (for free!) and we’ll negotiate these clauses for you 🎉.

Let’s talk budget 💸. When you’re on the look out for these sneaky culprits, you can save big time dollars!

1️⃣ Last Minute Changes

2️⃣ Shipping

Planning ahead for what needs to go where and when will help you avoid extra shipping fees

4️⃣ Staffing

We’ll create a lean, strategic staffing plan to ensure your event has the right amount of attention.

When a recent client came to us and said they wanted to literally “break the ice” with a smash room –with less than a week’s notice–we said, “Let’s GO!” 💥  After multiple planning calls with the venue and some creative workarounds, WE DID IT! Thinking outside of the box and making it happen is what we do best - one UNRL experience at a time!

The difference between a corporate retreat that transforms team dynamics and one that feels like an extended meeting? Strategic planning 📋

The most successful retreats we’ve designed balance structured activities with organic connection opportunities—creating space for the conversations that rarely happen in office settings. Think: places to connect outside the meeting space, unique activities for bonding, activations that create memories.

Corporate retreats are not just getaways; they’re investments in your team’s synergy and vision. And a truly transformative retreat? That requires artful planning. Let’s make it UNRL, together!

Most clients don’t realize that hiring an IATA-accredited site selection professional often costs nothing—or even saves money 💰. Our negotiation expertise and industry relationships typically recover 15-30% on contracts, effectively covering our fees before we even start the creative work. Smart planning isn’t just about creativity—it’s about leveraging professional advantages most companies don’t know exist. #unrlevents #corporateeventplanning #siteselectiontips

That dream venue? Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you’re asking the right questions.
.
1. Are there resort fees? Charges for internet? What’s the tax on the guest room rate? Make sure you understand what’s included in the rate so there are no surprises down the road.
.
2. Taxes and service fees…are not just on your guest room rate. Think food and beverage, A/V, (potential) unions. The list goes on!
.
3. Leveraging your relationships with outside A/V vendors can save your expenses – but you’ll want to clarify that’s allowed during your negotiations.
.
4. No one wants to listen to construction noise while in your general session. This one is big!
.
5. Do you have competitors that would love to know what you’re up to? You’ll want to make sure you have a non-compete or clause to protect your interests.
.
Does all this sound like a lot!? It’s just the tip of the iceberg! Let UNRL navigate your site selection to save your budget, logistics, and guest experience.
