Leaf-Peeping and Land Rovers: A GM’s Guide to Group Events at Equinox

Published on September 19, 2024


If there’s one thing General Manager Maurizio Boniveto knows, it’s how to create an unforgettable group event.

Whether you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping Land Rover adventure or a relaxed weekend with Vermont’s finest wine, Maurizio and his team at the Equinox Resort have you covered.

"Every season in Vermont brings its own magic," Maurizio says, reflecting on the beauty that surrounds the resort. "Right now, the leaves are gearing up for their fall performance, and it’s like they’re saying, ‘We’re here to make your event special!’"

Maurizio’s enthusiasm for Equinox is contagious, and his passion shines through when he talks about the resort’s unique offerings.

From intimate gatherings by the pond—where you might find yourself dining in a cottage with stunning views of Mount Equinox—to large-scale parties under a tent where 250 guests can dance the night away, the team at Equinox knows how to customize every detail.

Meetings at Equinox Resort

It’s Not Just About the View (But What a View It Is!)

Maurizio recounts a recent site inspection at the pond, during which he was left speechless by the reflection of vibrant foliage in the water: "You can’t plan for moments like that, but when they happen, it makes everything feel extraordinary. The scenery practically does the work for us!"

He continues, "It’s all about partnership. We ask our clients what they want to achieve, and we deliver—sometimes even beyond what they expect. Whether it’s fly-fishing, golfing, or enjoying a quiet spa day, we tailor the experience to match the vibe of the group."

Unforgettable Events: What’s Your Style?

One of the best parts of hosting an event at Equinox is the variety. Maurizio emphasizes that Equinox has something for every type of group.

"You can go big with a Land Rover experience where the car does things you didn’t think were possible, or keep it simple with a glass of wine by the fire," he says.

Maurizio also highlights Equinox’s culinary prowess, particularly when adding an Italian twist. "I’m Italian," he says with a grin, "so naturally, I make sure the food and wine are top-notch!"

Whether you’re planning a large corporate event or an intimate retreat, Equinox Resort makes every occasion feel personal and memorable.

As Maurizio puts it, "It’s hard to pick a favorite event because they’re all so different and special in their own way. But one thing’s for sure: when you leave, you’ll feel like you’ve experienced something truly unique."

Advice for Meeting Planners

For those looking to elevate their next meeting or event, Maurizio’s advice is simple: "Know your client. Understand their expectations, and then let us work our magic. We’ve been doing this for a long time, and together we can create something extraordinary."

So, whether you’re dreaming of a tented gala with dancing and laughter under the stars or a serene weekend enjoying the simple pleasures of Vermont life, Equinox Resort is the place where unforgettable moments happen—no matter the season.
