Private Villas · Kosher · Fully Staffed

TraveLog · Private Gatherings & Events

Your next fundraiser deserves a better room than a ballroom.

I'm Hanna. I plan travel for people who keep kosher — and this page is for the hosts: a fundraiser with its donors, an organization with its people, three generations under one roof, a simcha nobody stops talking about.

There is a house for this — fully staffed, entirely yours — and hosting there changes what your people feel, and what they remember.

Why a villa changes everything

The ballroom is built for a crowd. The villa is built for a conversation.

A ballroom runs its program and sends everyone home. A villa keeps them — one long table at breakfast, nowhere to rush off to, the conversations a stage schedule never allows. By the second night, they aren't an audience anymore. They're family.

For a fundraiser, that is the return: in a ballroom, donors watch your mission. In a villa, they live inside it for days. Trust compounds, loyalty compounds — and the ask never needs stage lights. It happens naturally.

Privacy that builds trust

No other event down the hall, no strangers at the next table. In private, trust is built — and guests become your team.

A Shabbat that feels like Shabbat

One kitchen cooking your way, one table that seats everyone, nowhere to rush off to.

ÀNI Dominican Republic — the open-air pavilion lounge, sofas set under the wood ceiling, terrace umbrellas up and the sea beyond, the room ready and waiting for the house to come back to it

It's appreciation, not just an ask

You bring your people to thank them. Everything catered to them — that's what brings them back.

One donation — or a donor for the year.

A gala earns one donation. A villa weekend makes them yours all year — they wait to come back, and now they work for you.

The proof

They wanted a ballroom in Miami. I suggested a house in Jamaica.

The first donor weekend I ever planned in a villa was for an organization that had always done it the proven way. The board was nervous. The donors were not.

A gala is a performance. A villa weekend is a relationship.

And the ask happened naturally, over coffee, around the second morning. That weekend is why this page exists.

The gatherings this page is for

One house. So many reasons to fill it.

Find yours — and if it isn't named, it almost certainly belongs here anyway.

Donor weekends & fundraisers · 25–50 guests

Host your donors, not a crowd

Your loyal circle of twenty-five to fifty supporters, families and all, under one roof — impressed not with more, but with better.

Go big doesn't have to mean go loud.

Appreciation weekends & intimate galas

The gala, at a human scale

One long table under the sky, your closest people, the sea at the end of the lawn. Not scaled down — concentrated.

It stops being an event on a calendar. It becomes the memory itself.

Holidays, hosted your way

Your holiday. Your house. Your table.

Your food, your pace, your traditions — including your own Passover. And the grandfather who brings everyone together gets to sit at the table, too.

Simchas · Weddings · Bar & bat mitzvahs

A simcha with the sea at the end of the lawn

A wedding, a bar or bat mitzvah, in a house that's only yours for the whole weekend — golden hour over the water, everyone simply there. Together.

The celebration doesn't borrow a beautiful room. It lives in one.

Organizations hosting their people

Your people. Your occasion. Your setting.

An organization hosting its people for a special occasion — a Shabbaton, a weekend for your community — where the intimacy and the setting are the point. You bring your speakers and your people; the setting is chosen for its feeling: beachfront, green, quiet.

All you should have to choose is the setting. The rest is my job.

Milestone family gatherings

One person brings everyone together

A milestone birthday, a big anniversary, the family in one place for the first time in far too long. This is that person's house.

You bring the people. The house does the rest.

How it works

Already built. One call.

The villas already exist — staff, kitchens, infrastructure built. I'm not assembling thirty vendors from scratch; that's why it runs smoothly.

Think of me as the matchmaker.

One call — to me. I match you to the right house and adjust it to your dream. You choose date, place, vibe; I handle every detail.

And you get to be there.

Your work is being present with your people. I carry the destination and the logistics, so you can actually host.

Behind that one call

The villa — matched to your people and your occasion.
The kosher — confirmed before you land, to your standard.
Catering, music, entertainment — arranged around your program.
A team in the villa, 24/7 — say the word, they're there.
Guest flights & excursions — handled.

✦

A promise, plainly: I never name my organizations or share donor lists. The houses can be public; your people never are.

Fully staffed

Not a house you run. A team that runs around your event.

At its heart is the table: a private chef cooking at a gastro level, meal after meal, for the whole house. Around it, one team arranges everything — not a small army of local vendors, each found and chased separately.

Whatever the weekend needs, it's matched — not hunted down. Your speakers and your program stay yours.

Arranged around your event

Chauffeurs & drivers. Guests met at the airport, moved all weekend.
Entertainment & shows. Booked and stage-managed.
Private massages. Quiet hours in busy days.
Babysitting. Trusted care, so parents stay present.
Guest arrangements. Every small, specific request.

Where to turn

Ready when you are.

If someone sent you this page, we probably already spoke — and now you've seen what I was describing. If you found it on your own, consider this our first conversation. Tell me the event: who's coming, when, the standard you keep, the feeling you want in the room. I'll find the house that fits — and handle the kosher and every detail around it.

One phone call. That's your whole job from here. And if you're not planning anything yet — good. Reach out before you're ready. That's exactly when the best version of this gets built.
