If you've been following Marco for a while, you might remember us as the company that matched teams with curated experiences - everything from cooking classes to adventure outings. We still believe in the power of shared experiences. But we've grown into something much bigger.
Today, Marco Experiences is a full-service corporate retreat and offsite planning platform. We handle everything - from finding the right venue and negotiating group hotel rates to building the itinerary, coordinating logistics, and supporting your team on the ground.
Why We Evolved
We kept hearing the same thing from the hundreds of companies we worked with: "The experience part is great, but can you help us with... everything else?"
The "everything else" turned out to be the real pain point. Finding a venue that works for 40 people. Getting a group rate that doesn't blow the budget. Figuring out the meeting space, the dinners, the transportation, the dietary restrictions - the endless logistics that turn what should be an exciting planning process into a second full-time job.
So we built the platform to handle it all.
What Marco Does Today
End-to-End Offsite Planning
Tell us your dates, headcount, budget, and goals. We'll source venues, negotiate rates, build your itinerary, and manage every detail from first email to final checkout. One point of contact, zero spreadsheet chaos.
3,000+ Curated Venues
We've personally vetted properties across the country - from boutique hotels in Nashville to oceanfront resorts in Southern California to historic estates in Upstate New York. Every venue on our platform has been evaluated specifically for group experiences: meeting space quality, food and beverage, team activity options, and overall vibe.
20-30% Hotel Savings
Because we bring consistent group business to our venue partners, we negotiate rates that individual companies can't get on their own. Our clients regularly save 20-30% on hotel costs compared to direct booking - and we layer in perks like complimentary meeting rooms, welcome receptions, and F&B credits.
Instant Offsites
Need something fast? Our Instant Offsites product lets you book a fully-packaged retreat - hotel, meeting space, and curated activities - in minutes, not weeks. It's self-service booking for teams that want a great offsite without the planning overhead.
Offsites Pro
For larger groups (26+) or more complex retreats - think multi-day leadership summits, President's Club events, or all-company gatherings - our Offsites Pro tier pairs you with a dedicated event planner who manages every detail. White-glove service at rates that still beat doing it yourself.
Who We Work With
We've planned retreats for teams at Apple, Netflix, Meta, Uber, Coinbase, McKinsey, Bain, and hundreds of startups and growth-stage companies. Whether it's a 20-person engineering offsite or a 500-person company all-hands, we've done it - and we've gotten really good at it.
What Hasn't Changed
Our core belief: teams that spend time together in person build something that Slack and Zoom never will. Connection, trust, alignment - these things compound. And the companies that invest in regular offsites see it in their retention, their culture scores, and their ability to execute.
We're just making it dramatically easier and more affordable to make that investment.
