The Lodge at Woodloch offers a special level of service to its guests, says Jennings Roe, and she feels like this is one of the reasons upscale venues like theirs are per- fect for meeting planners in search of pri- vacy, personal attention and customiza- tion of their event.
“Meeting planners have an endless array of choices when selecting a location that is right for their group," she notes. "The benefit of our intimate property is the level of service and customization that occurs with each and every
