I cannot say enough good things about Kody and Secchio Experiences. Kody helped plan and lead the…read moreteam-building portion of my company's 10-year anniversary party, and it was truly one of the biggest highlights of the entire event. From the very beginning, Kody was incredibly collaborative, thoughtful, and organized. We had multiple touchpoints and planning calls leading up to the event to make sure everything would run smoothly and that I felt confident and excited about the activities. He always welcomed my input, encouraged ideas, and somehow elevated everything even further with his own creativity and expertise. On the day of the event, Kody absolutely crushed it. The team-building activities were fun, engaging, and genuinely brought everyone together. Every single person was involved and having a blast. People were jokingly calling him the "cruise director" of the night because of how effortlessly he kept the energy high and the flow seamless. Even my CEOs came up to me afterward to tell me how amazing he was and how much they loved the experience. He made me look really good! The event was a huge success, and I honestly could not have pulled it off without Kody. Our entire team is still talking about how much fun they had. If you're looking for someone who is professional, creative, engaging, high-energy, and an absolute joy to work with, look no further. Highly, highly recommend.

I don't know what Kody and Secchio Experiences are like on a local or domestic level. I'd like to…read moreimagine this was an isolated planning event that may have been a stretch to accommodate. However, based on my experiences, I do not recommend this company for international or large group travel. There were simply too many loose ends. I reserved with Kody of Secchio Experiences for an out-of-country destination wedding in September 2025 as per the recommendation from the soon-to-be couple. I contacted him in January of 2025, but was unable to book the room until the end of May due to absolute radio silence on the company's end. The company does not assist with flights or any kind, only shuttle services once you reach your destination. If you choose to book any kind of trip through Secchio, make sure you ask for crystal clear descriptions of the two types of travel insurance offered - only one of them actually gets your money back if something happens!

If I could give Swig 10 stars, I would…read more About 6 months ago I began planning a barn party on my property to celebrate my 20th anniversary. I love throwing parties, I have thrown several since moving into this house, and I actually am one of those people that loves all of the work that goes into planning and executing parties. I have cooked, by myself, for as many as 80 people before, but this time - I just wanted to be taken care of for once, instead of being the host that's taking care of everyone else. I knew about Swig because I followed them on Instagram, and decided to contact Sara and talk to her about my event. It was a smaller event - about 40 people total - and I had it catered (first time not providing all the food myself!), so I really just wanted someone to stay on top of cleanliness and food and drink replenishment. Sara assured me that this is exactly what Swig is there for, so we decided to hire just one server to assist with our party. Angelique arrived on time (in fact I think she was a little early!) and immediately felt like a member of my family. She was so sweet and friendly, right off the bat. She got right to work and did everything I asked of her (and more) - she assisted with setting up the food when the caterer arrived while I ran around and took care of some last minute details and greeted my guests as they arrived. This also freed me up to have some family photos taken with my photographer before the event, which was awesome! Throughout the night she checked with me several times to see if there was anything I needed from her, but honestly, I couldn't think of anything more than she was already doing! She was on the ball, all night. She made sure the food and drinks were replenished when needed, and the tables were cleaned throughout the night. She even went into my house and did some dishes in my sink (not even party dishes!!) and grabbed some containers to pack up the leftover food. This was an amazing detail that I always seem to forget when I throw my own parties, and wait too long and end up having to toss the food. Thanks to Angelique, we have leftovers for days and I am very excited about the tacos I'll be eating for dinner tonight! By the end of the night, I looked around and the whole barn looked exactly as it had when I was setting it up and decorating hours earlier - like a party had not even taken place yet. Every surface was clean, there was nothing spilled anywhere, and all the trash was taken care of. Several of my guests remarked to me on how friendly she was, and what an amazing job she did as well. Hiring Swig was hands-down the BEST money I spent for this party, and I would hire them again without hesitation. In fact, I may never do my own party again, as long as Swig is around! It was SO nice to be able to relax, eat, and socialize with my friends and family on such a special day, instead of having to make sure we didn't run out of tortilla chips or water bottles. I had an amazing time and Swig played a huge part in that. Thank you!!!

She had valuable opinions regarding venues and the different pros and cons of each and we talked through what made the most sense. We settled on a smaller dinner at a restaurant instead of a private room and saved a large amount. The biggest help was her taking care of arranging the cake and custom ordering it. She got to know what my wife likes and my wife loved the cake that she picked out and had made for her. It was delicious as well! I highly recommend enlisting Bloomful Works to help in planning your next event.

The Live Class is worth it if it works with your schedule. Emily was engaging, even after a long work day. She would always challenge us to go a step further than what the textbook course material was offering us, which not only helped us learn more material, but encouraged us to feel confident that we were really mastering the test-taking skills necessary to perform well on the GMAT. Once I learned how the GMAT was structured, I knew I was limited in what I could learn on my own. I was really grateful to have Emily and a classroom setting to break the material down. Now that the class has ended, Emily is willing to continue our relationship via email for any outstanding questions we have. I also appreciated all that comes with Manhattan Prep when you sign up for a Live Class. I'll start with the online resource center: all of the Live Class learning sessions have been prerecorded by other Manhattan Prep instructors, and you can go back and re-watch these at any point, to reinforce what you learned in class. I found this to be invaluable. You also receive access to plenty of online forums, blogs, and other opportunities to learn from other instructors and MBA candidates about their process for application, the Dos and Don'ts, etc. At first I thought the price tag for this course was high, but once I realized everything that came with it, I would recommend this to anyone.

Its been years since I graduated from college, and as a marketing major, even longer since I took a math class. My first practice test showed me that studying by myself and at my own pace was not going to cut it. After a lot of research and comparing different programs I choose Manhattan GMAT because I needed a class setting and an instructor who could coach me through the process. I took a class winter of 2012 with Abby Berry and it made a world of difference for me. Abby's experience and knowledge was unbelievably helpful. Not only did we cover general math and verbal, but also test tips and tricks, techniques to study correctly, and what I felt like was the "insiders scoop" about the test. What I liked most about Abby's teaching style was that she explained concepts in a really clear and visual way that was easy to understand and remember. The tips and tricks she taught us helped me focus on test day and finish all the questions on time. My final test score was 100 points higher than my first practice test and I have Manhattan GMAT and Abby to thank for that. I'm now a student at Temple Fox School of Business!

My 10 year old has decided he'd rather not do classes but, is over the moon on camp days, as they offer less structure and more choices.

Did you read that, moms of preschoolers?! They're always beaming with joy and toting a cute craft or some form of nature when they return. While they're in class, my 2 year old, myself and whichever kid is not in a class at that time (the little kids attend for one hour while the big kids have two hours) walk around the farm to visit with the animals, catch chickens, play in the field or just hang out with other families. Check out Fernbrook! You won't be disappointed!
