Sales Manager

SLS BAHAMAR

I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with Sky Events on several occasions over the past few years.  They are always detailed, supportive, and responsive.  I fondly recall a time when I had to relocate a definite group that Sky Events placed at my hotel.  They understood the circumstances and helped us work with their client to find an alternative venue.  In addition, Sky Events supported our efforts to partner with that client to “replace” the relocated business, but also secure other programs from that client.

Director of Group Sales

Working with Michael is always an absolute pleasure!  He is a true professional and knows how to balance the needs of both his clients and the hotel.  He has great communication skills, is very detail oriented and has the ability to work on all items, small and large.  From the most minute detail to please a VIP, to large scale productions to make for a memorable experience… It is obvious to see that he has a true passion for what he does!

NATIONAL SALES MANAGER

Faena Hotel Miami Beach

There are many planners in the MICE world, however Michael Burns and his team at Sky Events truly stand out as one of the top in the luxury meeting space. Michael’s success can be attributed to his desire to maintain a strong relationship with his hotel contacts. He fights for what is best for his client, while also helping to educate the client on why they pay more for a luxury resort versus a big box hotel. Michael’s business volume helps clients achieve great results at luxury properties such as Faena.
