our Bespoke Process
Director of Corporate Events | Hyatt Hotel Corp.
Monica Cheeks
She approached every aspect of the event with enthusiasm and professionalism, offering innovative ideas that enhanced the experience and made it fun and engaging for all invited guests and Hyatt associates.
Her ability to think outside the box and provide alternative enhancements was invaluable, and she made sure that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Sally is a true asset in partnering with a Destination Management Company and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a partner who brings both creativity and reliability to the table.
What truly stood out about Sally was her timeliness, creativity and collaborative spirit.
I had the pleasure of partnering with Sally to craft and host a Hyatt customer event during ASAE in Cleveland, Ohio, and truly enjoyed working with her through all phases of the creative process.

D. Millender
Her ability to listen and seek out feedback created an open line of communication, which helped us execute quality meals and service on a nightly basis.
Sally’s passion for delivering at a high level and wanting to work in a team environment that demands sacrifices was evident. I always felt we were an important client and she showed that by being available when it wasn’t always convenient for her or her team, and being patient when we needed to extend a deadline.
She was phenomenal during her time with us.
It’s hard for change to happen without building trust and Sally did a great job building trust with our many influential decision-makers.
Sally helped us execute our nutrition plans to support the performance collective in an environment with high stakes and strong traditional beliefs.
Director of Marketing Communications, Zuken USA
Amy Clements
I highly recommend her and will choose her services again in the future!
Sally’s depth of knowledge and exceptional attention to detail was a huge asset to our planning and execution–it was like having another person on our team!
Sally Pekarek was an invaluable partner for Zuken Innovation World + Integrate 24 in the fall of 2024. Her dedication to understanding our needs and delivering results was evident every step of the way.
