DINE AROUNDS

Intimacy at scale.

Most conferences put 500 people in one ballroom and call it community. We take that same audience and preserve what actually builds relationships — small, intentional conversation.

We break large-format events into curated groups. Your guests experience the access of a major conference and the depth of a private dinner.

As seen in

Founder of The Bon Soir, Megan Gross, was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine for her experience in the VIP experience industry.

“…Megan Gross, who specializes in selling VIP experiences at another concierge company, which was called IfOnly before it was acquired by MasterCard, worries about the effect certain Confirmed360 practices will have on the business as a whole

IfOnly worked directly with talent, as well as philanthropic organizations. When Confirmed360 started snatching up their inventory and reselling it — against IfOnly’s terms and conditions — it “created havoc,”Gross says. Not only did IfOnly have to eat thousands of dollars in refunds when it couldn’t fulfill promises made by Confirmed360, Gross believes that IfOnly’s good standing in the marketplace was damaged. “It was a terrible experience for both the customer and the talent,” Gross says, pointing to one “massive, brand-name artist” who she claims became “furious” about Confirmed360 having marked up package prices without the charity’s permission. She adds, “It jeopardized our relationship in working with that artist.”

Testimonials

"At FullCircle, we are all about high impact engagement and making sure we prioritize quality over quantity. When we conceived of Work in Progress, our future of work convening, we knew we didn’t need or want an event planner. Instead we were seeking a strategic partner who intuitively understood our vision, knew how we wanted our invitees to feel, what small details would actually matter and how to set the stage for the gathering as well as compound its benefits well beyond the actual event. Megan and her team at The Bon Soir became exactly that partner to us and more, demonstrating a unique ability to match our speed, intensity and expectations for excellence. We will undoubtedly work with her again and could not recommend her more highly to anyone considering curating a high caliber gathering with lasting outsized impact."

"Working with Megan and The Bon Soir was an absolute pleasure, and definitely a must! From the very first conversation, she immediately captured the essence of what we were looking for and brought it to life flawlessly. The event was beautifully curated, warm, and high-touch, exactly what we had envisioned. The entire process was made easy and seamless, and the results spoke for themselves: engaged guests, meaningful conversations, and a memorable evening."

"Working with Meghan and Le Bonsoir was one of the easiest decisions I made. It’s rare to find someone I can fully trust to deliver an outstanding client experience without needing any supervision. From day one, I was confident Meghan and her team would get the job done — not just competently, but beautifully — and that they would delight our guests, clients, and friends in a way that genuinely reflected the level of gratitude we have for them.The experiences she created made space for authentic connection, deepened trust, and strengthened our relationships in ways that no business meeting ever could. Meghan brings a refined sense of taste and an intuitive understanding of atmosphere, flow, and energy. She knows how to make people feel both at ease and inspired."

"Megan and her team at The Bon Soir exceeded our expectations for Hivemind LP Day. Despite a tight turnaround, they delivered a seamless experience while staying under budget. The location was superb, the event was top-notch, and the feedback from our guests was excellent. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to make our event a standout success!"

"Megan is very personable, easy to work with, and very prompt with ideas and responses. Her suggestions were wonderful, and so nice to have a few to select from. Megan clearly knew the venues and her connections to the venues and other services (limo, music, photography, etc.) made everything very easy. She definitely took the stress out of planning (a last minute!) celebration and I felt confident from the start that she would come through (and she did)! I highly recommend Megan Gross and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again!"

"Megan was very easy to work with. She was very hands on and I love that about a planner. She would do whatever it takes to make the event go flawless and a success. She has pleasant personality and is patient. All events have some kind of crisis. She remained calm and got through it. I look forward to doing more events with her.”
