TAILOR-MADE EVENTS & TRAVEL
Organize a custom meeting, event, or trip that aligns with what you want to achieve.
TAILOR-MADE BUSINESS MEETINGS, EVENTS, AND TRAVEL
Perhaps you've already looked around our site and other pages feel familiar. However, what you're looking for isn't exactly there. Or you know: your request doesn't fit into a single format.
That's not a problem. Organizing a meeting, trip, or event that doesn't exist yet is exactly what we excel at.
Every program BARENTSZEN creates is tailor-made. No two are the same, because no two organizations are the same. Sometimes it's an existing idea that we fully tailor to your situation. Sometimes it's a combination of multiple formats that together form something that simply doesn't exist off-the-shelf.
Your request doesn't have to be clear yet to start the conversation. In fact, we prefer it that way!
WHEN AN EXISTING FORMAT ISN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU
You have a question or challenge that doesn't fit into one category. Perhaps it's a combination of a trip and an event. Maybe you don't yet know which form best aligns with what you want to achieve.
Or do you recognize these situations?
- Your request doesn’t fit into one format, but you don’t know who to call to discuss it
- You work with multiple agencies that each do their part, but no one oversees the whole
- Coordination between parties takes too much time and you’d rather focus on the content itself
- You’re afraid the common thread will disappear as soon as the program becomes more complex
Then you're looking for a partner who can clearly identify your challenge, understand the big picture, come up with creative solutions, and safeguard the result.
OUR EXPERIENCE PROVIDES ENDLESS COMBINATIONS
Broad palette, one partner
From off-site sessions to trade missions, from anniversary events to workations. We know all the formats and create surprising combinations. At BARENTSZEN, you don't have to coordinate between agencies that each handle their own piece. We oversee the whole, from the first conversation to the return home.
One point of contact, even when things get complex
The more elements a program has, the more important it is for someone to oversee the whole. You have a dedicated contact person who holds all the strings and ensures everything connects seamlessly.
The common thread from start to finish
Whatever combination arises, the starting point is always the same: what do you want people to feel, do, or see differently afterward? That goal determines every component, so the program works as a whole, not as separate parts side by side.
The impact doesn't stay behind on location
BARENTSZEN has worked with a wide range of formats for years. This extensive experience ensures cross-pollination: what works in an incentive trip strengthens a strategic session. What makes a conference powerful can make the difference for your anniversary event. This results in creative combinations that are unique and fully aligned with your goals.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
From the very first meeting through to the final wrap-up of the trip, communication with BARENTSZEN was clear and professional. We received not only great tips about the destination (hotel/restaurants/experiences) but also excellent advice on the structure and logic of the program. During the trip, the local guides hired by BARENTSZEN and our tour leader Jiska’s sharp eye for detail made all the difference. She managed to guide our group of 26 people smoothly and graciously, allowing us to focus entirely on the experience. The result: an inspiring, unique, and connecting study trip where everything was safely and superbly organized.
The best moment? When you notice the energy flowing, without having to push.
From the very first introductory meeting, they truly listened to our wishes for the ideal office weekend. Djuna and Frederiek took care of every detail, ensuring the program perfectly aligned with our company and team. Our thanks to Djuna, Frederiek, and the entire team for the fantastic organization and this unforgettable weekend. We hope to work together again in the future!
Our company trip to Berlin was a success, thanks in part to the professional guidance of BARENTSZEN. They have excellent local connections and responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff.
For the anniversary trip to Reims, we worked closely with BARENTSZEN to create a memorable journey that would bring all colleagues closer together. Thanks to their creative and seamless organization, it became exactly the kind of trip people will be talking about for years to come.
Such an eye for detail, such a high level of flexibility and customer focus, and such a tight internal organization are things we rarely experience from suppliers. We would therefore like to wholeheartedly recommend Barentszen to any organization that wants to make their group trip a resounding success.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CUSTOM MEETINGS, EVENTS, AND TRIPS
Can you always combine meetings, travels, and events, or are there limitations?
Combining trips, meetings, and events is always possible with us, but not every combination is equally meaningful. We always look at the goal first. Sometimes formats complement each other perfectly. Sometimes one well-chosen format is more effective than a combination of several. We’re happy to discuss this with you.
How do you maintain the common thread in a program with multiple elements?
By determining that line at the beginning, before a single component is even filled in. What needs to change after this custom program? That goal translates into every part: the sequence, the content, the setting, and the follow-up. This way, it feels like a whole, not like separate modules side by side.
Is a custom event, travel, or meeting always more expensive than a standard format?
No, certainly not. Customization means that every part has a function. Nothing is included that doesn’t belong. We look for what’s possible and only make a creative proposal if it fits your request exactly. Even when we organize a staff trip, conference, or off-site for you, we provide tailor-made solutions. In the first conversation, we always look at what is realistic within your possibilities.
How do you start if you don't know exactly what you want yet?
That is actually an excellent starting point. The most successful programs have emerged from a conversation that began with a vague intention. We ask questions that help move from “we want to do something” to a clear starting point. That is exactly what we excel at.
Who is my point of contact if the program consists of multiple parts?
Always the same trusted person. We consciously work with a dedicated contact person per program, even if multiple disciplines and people are involved internally. This way, you don’t have to coordinate; you can just call one number when you need us.
want to brainstorm?
The best programs rarely start with a complete briefing. They start with a good conversation. Tell us where you stand, what you want to achieve, and what you already know or don't know yet. We'd love to think along with you!
