HELLO THERE!
Summit & Social Co. is a boutique special event & retreat planning agency based in Southern California. We help our clients connect more meaningfully to their closest people by curating elevated event experiences. We help dreamers to identify, shape, and achieve their vision for life's many moments worth celebrating.
​
We custom-curate special events and single/multi-day retreat programs for individuals, start-up companies, arts organizations, families, retreat planners, and any group looking to gather in a meaningful, out-of-the-ordinary way.
Whether bringing together a group for business or maybe it’s purely social (or perhaps even a little bit of both!), Summit & Social Co. clients leverage our creative talents to design lasting and impactful experiences.
​
From seamless logistics and stage-worthy lighting to designer decor and innovative food/beverage, we take care of every detail-- and have a lot of fun while doing it!
WHY "SUMMIT"?
More than alluding to the retreats we design, the "Summit" in Summit & Social Co. is a nod to the nickname given to the Founder's late-1920s Spanish revival home. Over the years The Summit has become a gathering place of many sorts, from gathering loved ones around a dining table, to gathering thoughts over coffee in the peaceful morning hours. It is equal parts restful haven, and glittering social beacon -- precisely the aim for the event experiences we create with our clients.
