A Word From The Founder

A small firm composing events of consequence.

I founded Robeson & Co. in 2014, after twelve years running large-scale corporate productions in Manhattan and a stretch on the property side at a Caribbean resort group. What I learned there is what drives the firm now: the logistics of a three-day leadership offsite and the logistics of a destination wedding are not as different as people think. Both require the same obsessive attention, and both deserve it.

We take on a limited number of engagements each year — corporate retreats, incentive programs, board and client dinners, destination weddings, and milestone celebrations. The work spans the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, and the Caribbean. The same person handles your event from first call through final invoice.

Practice

Two practices. One standard of work.

— Corporate

  • Leadership Retreats
    Two to four nights, 30–120 attendees. Venue sourcing, programming, ground logistics, and F&B from arrival through departure.
  • Incentive Programs
    Domestic and Caribbean. Full ground program — activities, transfers, dinners, and closing gala — managed end to end.
  • Multi-Day Conferences
    Plenary, breakouts, and evening programming. AV coordination, F&B, and run-of-show across every session.
  • Board & Client Dinners
    Private rooms for twenty to eighty. Venue, menu, wine, and production handled without the client lifting a finger.

— Private

  • Destination Weddings
    Full planning and design, twelve to eighteen month engagements. Domestic and Caribbean properties.
  • Milestone Celebrations
    Anniversaries, landmark birthdays, retirements — fifty to two hundred guests, any venue.
  • Private Dinners & Galas
    Seated dinners, benefit galas, and foundation events for clients and the organizations they support.
  • Family Gatherings
    Multi-generational reunions and travel programs — the kind of trip people talk about for the next decade.

— Kind Words

Danica runs a tight room. Three days, eighty people, four off-site dinners — nothing slipped, and nothing felt staged. We have asked her back.
