include: a culinary option under the tutelage of the hotel’s culinary experts; Sweet Success, where guests can bake and decorate cupcakes; wacky golf with the help of on-site golf professionals; or even a customizable game show option to challenge a group’s problem-solving skills.
To really set an event at Normandy Farm apart and make it upscale and memo- rable, Karen Mandel offers a few sug- gestions on ways to truly distinguish it from the “usual” retreat formula.
“Bring our award-winning culinary team out to mingle and demonstrate food prep methods and also to lead team building: Chef Abu leads culinary team building or Chef Sam leads bakery and pastry team building,” she explains. “Or, we can tell the Normandy Farm ‘story’ steeped in rich American history and its transformation to modern day. We also can offer seasonal menu changes to keep our food and beverage offerings fresh - we have a lot of repeat
customers and we strive to keep their experiences fresh, as well.”
Normandy Farm stays trend-forward with the comfort and design of the hotel, restaurant, banquets and golf course. “Every guest is acknowledged, and their needs are catered to at every touch point,” Mandel notes.
At Woodloch Resort in Hawley, PA in the Pocono Mountains, marketing and pub- lic relations manager, Erica Bloch, dis- cusses the The Lodge at Woodloch, the resort’s AAA Four-Diamond property, which meets the expectations of the most high-end clientele.
“An upscale meeting experience can be found at The Lodge at Woodloch,” says Bloch. “An intimate boutique hotel fea- turing 58 guest rooms, dining space, meeting rooms, and spa facilitiese - all conveniently located under one roof. Our destination spa is the perfect setting to conduct business while you relax and rejuvenate. The Lodge's locally
sourced farm-to-table meals offer a unique fine dining experience.”
Catering to an executive retreat, Bloch has many suggestions on how a group can create a special and memorable event at The Lodge at Woodloch. “Our spacious and cozy Fireside Meeting Room can be set with traditional tables and chairs for meetings or kept like a casual living room that’s set up with couches and plush comfortable chairs. The Lodge at Woodloch offers conven- ient complete meeting packages for which, per person, the rate includes: overnight accommodations,
three
meals daily, meeting rooms, meeting breaks, valet parking, AV, Internet, plus access to amenities and activities.”
Activities and amenities at The Lodge at Woodloch feature everything from fit- ness classes to very unique experiences, such as forest bathing and primitive fire making, Bloch explains, adding that “intimate, chef-led cooking demonstra- tions also are very popular.”
