Choosing To Work With Offsite

Voiceflow’s decision to partner with Offsite for their team retreat proved to be both strategic and rewarding. From securing a scenic cottage-style resort to managing group accommodations and activities, Offsite delivered a seamless planning experience. The team enjoyed a packed itinerary that included escape rooms, axe throwing, yoga, and cooking classes—activities that encouraged both relaxation and meaningful team connection. Even small logistics, like shuttle services from Toronto, were significantly improved compared to past retreats, earning positive feedback from the team.

Offsite also helped Voiceflow manage costs smartly by enabling budget-friendly options like bringing their own beverages and leveraging bundled meeting packages. While the retreat didn’t generate monetary savings overall, the time saved and the elevated team experience were invaluable. Voiceflow’s leadership expressed gratitude for the smooth execution and are now considering making Offsite retreats a regular part of their team culture—either annually or even biannually.

Designing a Unique and Cost-Effective Retreat Experience

Voiceflow’s offsite retreat at Elmhurst Resort offered a refreshing departure from traditional corporate settings. Nestled in a cottage-style environment, the venue added a unique charm to the team’s stay. Despite mixed feedback on accommodations, the overall sentiment was positive, with the group highlighting how enjoyable and memorable the experience was compared to past retreats. Offsite helped manage all bookings, including a competitive room rate of $129 per night, ensuring comfort within a reasonable budget.

Offsite also provided Voiceflow with flexibility in managing costs. The team was allowed to bring their own alcohol for private gatherings and campfire moments, helping them personalize the experience while staying within budget. A meeting package priced at $166 per person covered meals from dinner through the final day’s breakfast, with a possible refund adjustment being processed. These thoughtful touches made it easier for the group to enjoy the retreat without worrying about overspending.

Boosting Team Energy Through Diverse Activities

The carefully curated itinerary for Voiceflow’s retreat was one of its highlights. Offsite organized a wide array of engaging activities, including a cooking class, cocktail-making workshop, escape room experience, and axe throwing—all designed to encourage bonding and fun. A last-minute yoga class was even added, showcasing Offsite’s flexibility in accommodating spontaneous team needs. These experiences helped break routine, allowing the team to recharge and connect in a casual, interactive setting.

Whether off-property or on-site, each activity contributed to a stronger team spirit. Employees were able to unwind, try new things, and build memories together outside their regular work environment. These moments of shared enjoyment helped reinforce collaboration, strengthen interpersonal relationships, and ultimately contributed to higher team morale that extended well beyond the retreat.

Saving Time Through Seamless Coordination

One of the most valuable outcomes of Voiceflow’s retreat was the significant time saved by letting Offsite handle the logistics. From accommodations and meals to transportation and activities, every detail was thoughtfully managed, allowing Voiceflow’s team to focus on being present and enjoying the experience. The planning included bundling meals into a single meeting package, arranging shuttle services, and handling last-minute updates like adding yoga or adjusting the budget—freeing up internal resources from the usual coordination stress.

This hands-off approach not only reduced the workload for Voiceflow’s internal organizers but also improved the overall retreat experience. The team didn't need to worry about vendor management, transportation hiccups, or cost tracking in real-time. Offsite’s attention to detail and proactive communication helped streamline the process, making everything from budget adjustments to activity execution feel effortless and efficient.

Developing An Offsite Cadence

The positive outcome of Voiceflow’s Offsite retreat not only met expectations—it created excitement for what’s next. According to internal feedback, the team appreciated the smoother logistics, better travel arrangements, and the curated experience compared to the previous year. Transportation, which had been a pain point in the past, was resolved with reliable shuttle service from Toronto, leading to a noticeably more relaxed and punctual start to the retreat.

Encouraged by the retreat’s success, Voiceflow’s leadership expressed interest in returning to Offsite for future events. Discussions are already underway to potentially schedule an annual or biannual cadence, showing confidence in Offsite’s planning expertise. The relationship built during this retreat laid the foundation for ongoing collaboration, supporting long-term employee engagement and continuous team development.
