We'll work alongside your team to understand your vision for the event, make recommendations regarding timeline, budget, location, and best practices, helping come up with an overall plan for the event.

SweetPea will help find the perfect location for your event based on YOUR strategy, dates, agenda, and price target. We make recommendations, send RFP’s to multiple properties, utilize our strong relationships, and provide a report for your review. After the venue has been narrowed down, we negotiate the best contract possible that protects your interests and work to get you the best rates and concessions, while adding important clauses to the contract to protect your interest.
Depending on your A/V needs, SweetPea will create an RFP, bring in an excellent A/V provider, and manage everything to ensure successful event production.
Your attendees will appreciate great food on site, but it also needs to fit into your budget. We will track attendee dietary restrictions, make recommendations that fits your agenda & needs, and finalize the BEOs to maximize selections to stay in budget.

Working with the Sweetpea team has been incredible. The knowledge, experience, and overall planning resources that they bring to the table is priceless. The high level of professionalism and execution we have achieved at our 600+ person annual event’s is because we’ve worked with the Sweetpea team exclusively. I would highly recommend Sweetpea to anyone looking to put on a fabulous, smooth, professional event!
Natalie, Nate, and the whole Sweetpea team have been one of our behind the scenes secret weapons to the exponential growth of our live event company. Their customer service and attention to detail separates them from all the other event planners in the industry. Do yourself a favor and go with Sweetpea, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
The SweetPea Meetings & Events team has been a key partner in the event logistics of Dykema’s award-winning Definitive Conference for DSOs for the past five years. During that time, our audience has expanded by over 400%, bringing in over 1,700 registrants last year alone. Despite the increased complexity of planning this industry-leading event, SweetPea has been able to anticipate our needs and meet the challenge to help Dykema deliver a successful conference year after year."
You did so amazing. I told the group that you were the only reason it happened. I am grateful.
Last year as we started planning our biggest event of the year and SweetPea™ was referred to us for help. Natalie stepped in to work with the property on all details and logistics, effectively negotiating with the hotel and literally saving us thousands of dollars in hotel and AV costs. She is efficient, competent, fantastic with our registrants and a great communicator, collaborator and partner. The event went flawlessly! I recommend SweetPea™ to anyone planning a meeting of any size, and be sure SweetPea™ is on board before you look for your hotel or meeting space. She did a great job unearthing the perfect spot for our growing meeting!
SweetPea understands the agency/client relationships, having worked on both sides. Her genius is collaboration and creativity. She brings “out of the box” ideas to the projects she works on and a sense of fun to any team she is involved with. Natalie has an eye for details and also the bottom line, always delivering on time and under budget.
SweetPea is a GREAT meeting and event planner. Incredibly organized, thorough, and skilled. They really go to bat for their clients. From sourcing venues and negotiating contracts to producing signage, acquiring sponsorships, managing speakers, and handling event logistics. They do it all expertly. We’ve partnered with them in St Louis, Charlotte, Toronto, and Scottsdale. Highly recommended them for any/all meeting and event needs.
Natalie is a meeting planner extraordinaire. I have worked with her for several years on events and meetings of all sizes and she has an innate ability to see the big picture, develop the strategy, then manage and impeccably execute on the smallest details. I’ve also seen Natalie manage the demands of personalities from CEOs to A-List celebrities. Her meetings and events have a “wow” factor that leave attendees with memorable impressions, whether they are there to be entertained or informed.
