Host Your Next Strategic Planning Session with Us
In today’s fast-paced business landscape, moments of pause are more essential than ever. A strategic planning session offers leadership teams the rare opportunity to step back, recalibrate, and shape the future of their organization with intention. But the success of these sessions depends on more than just the agenda—it depends on where they take place.
At Home for Entertaining, we offer an elevated environment designed to inspire clarity, creativity, and collaboration. Whether you’re planning a quarterly review, a leadership retreat, or a team-building activity, our space provides the refined backdrop your business deserves.
Where Strategy Meets Sophistication
When you host a strategic planning session off-site, you’re sending a message to your team, your stakeholders, and yourself. You’re saying this work is important. You’re investing in high-level thinking. You’re creating space for meaningful dialogue and breakthrough ideas.
Our venue has been intentionally curated to support those moments. With tasteful design, tailored service, and seamless functionality, we offer not only a meeting room—we offer a strategic experience.
Why Take Your Strategic Planning Offsite?
If you’ve ever tried to hold a strategy meeting in your usual conference room, you already know how hard it can be to fully disconnect from the daily grind. Phones ring. Emails distract. Meetings get interrupted. But stepping into a new environment—one that’s neutral, calm, and purpose-built—can change everything.
An off-site location:
-
Encourages fresh thinking by breaking the routine
-
Reduces distractions so teams can stay focused
-
Fosters collaboration through intentional layouts
-
Builds morale by treating staff to something out of the ordinary
When you choose a thoughtfully designed venue, you signal to your team that the day’s work is meaningful—that this is the time and place to align, prioritize, and innovate.

The Backyard
Our backyard is included in our space rentals and offers additional seating for 16. It is ideal for breakout sessions, an afternoon happy hour with beer and wine, or s’mores by our fireplace.
Numerous studies have consistently demonstrated the cognitive benefits of spending time outdoors. These include enhanced memory, increased creativity, and improved regulation of attention—both in terms of directing focus and sustaining it over time. Research indicates that even a brief outdoor break, regardless of its duration, can help restore mental clarity, improve concentration, and provide a refreshed perspective upon returning to meetings.
Team Building Experiences
Our amenities also include spaces for team-building experiences such as wine tastings, cooking classes, and floral arranging workshops. These interactive activities offer not only a break from the boardroom. They provide meaningful opportunities for teams to connect, collaborate, and strengthen interpersonal dynamics in a relaxed, engaging setting.
Team-building sessions may begin as late as 6:00 PM and typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the experience. By integrating these moments of creativity and camaraderie into your strategic planning session, you help foster a more cohesive, energized, and aligned team.
