Thanksgiving Spotlight: Celebrating Five Outstanding US Event Vendors

Happy Thanksgiving, Today citizens all over America celebrate Thanksgiving, a day for reflecting on the year, and for being thankful. Here at MICE Destination we’re delighted to be able to work with many US based clients and to also have the joy of hosting many events in the United States. 
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we’ve chosen to honour five US event vendors/event partners for whom we are grateful and who consistently exceed our expectations. Discover more about these exceptional partners as we showcase them below: 

1. Penthouse 45 – New York City

Penthouse 45
Penthouse 45 stands as an exceptionally chic dry hire venue in the heart of midtown Manhattan, showcasing an outdoor wraparound terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows, and abundant natural light, all complemented by breathtaking panoramic views of New York City and the Hudson River.
Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of hosting an event at Penthouse 45, and we are immensely grateful for their unparalleled flexibility. In the dynamic landscape of New York City venues, it’s rare to find a space that not only offers such stunning features but also allows complete freedom in branding and deviating from a preferred supplier list. The team at Penthouse 45 granted us the opportunity to unleash our creativity upon their event space, with minimal limitations. Their accommodating approach made our event truly exceptional.

2. Hotel Luma – San Francisco 

Hotel Luma
Hotel Luma, a cutting-edge hotel that debuted in 2022, stands as a beacon of modernity and technology in San Francisco’s thriving Mission Bay neighbourhood. Renowned for its state-of-the-art amenities, it’s the ideal venue for any tech conference in the city, earning its distinction as the top choice on TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Hotels for 2023.
In June of this year, we had the privilege of hosting one of the property’s inaugural corporate events. We typically exercise caution when choosing a brand new venue, however, Hotel Luma exceeded our expectations from the very first interaction. The event proved to be a resounding success, allowing us to host a tech-centric gathering in a brand-new hotel with exceptional service. All our attendees, who were locals, can’t stop raving about this remarkable new hotspot in the Bay Area. Experiencing flawless service in such a recently established property is a rarity, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service provided.

3. Resident – New York City

Resident NYC Dining
Resident is a captivating vendor with an extraordinary concept. They bring together celebrity Michelin-star chefs and private penthouses/luxury homes, crafting unforgettable dining experiences.
In January 2024, we have the privilege of hosting an event with Resident, and our gratitude for them and their unparalleled network knows no bounds. Through their little black book of contacts, they facilitated the sourcing of one of the city’s most renowned chefs, secured an uber-luxurious penthouse in downtown Manhattan, and enlisted one of the world’s most celebrated wine sommeliers. The result is an exclusive dining experience that transcends the ordinary. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Resident for being the ultimate connector, and we eagerly anticipate our 2024 NYC event calendar, filled with exciting collaborations alongside Resident.

4. Brick x Brick Hospitality Group – San Francisco

Brick X Brick San Francisco
Brick X Brick, a San Francisco-based hospitality company, boasts ownership of six exceptional bars across the Bay Area. Each of these venues exudes modernity, chic aesthetics, and trendiness, making them ideal spaces for networking mixers and customer meet-ups.
Given that our primary client base resides in the tech sectors, with many located in Silicon Valley and the broader Bay Area, Brick X Brick has become an indispensable event partner. We express deep gratitude for this valuable vendor, as they consistently provide the perfect venues for customer meet-ups in the area. Acting as a single point of contact for a diverse range of ideal locations, Brick X Brick simplifies the process and enhances the success of our events.

5. Abigail Kirsch – New York City

With offerings that cater to all needs and exclusive partnerships with many of NYC’s most prominent venues, they bring a touch of culinary excellence to every occasion.
Our gratitude extends to this exceptional caterer for consistently going above and beyond.

Abigail Kirsch’s insights have proven invaluable in ensuring the success of our events.
