Intimate, Inspired, and Impeccably Managed Meetings
The future of corporate meetings isn’t about size—it’s about impact. More and more companies are shifting away from large-scale events in favor of smaller, more intentional gatherings. These boutique-style meetings allow for genuine collaboration, deeper conversation, and a setting that feels more personalized and human.

Past Success Stories: Small Gatherings That Left a Lasting Impression
We’ve had the pleasure of hosting a wide range of boutique meetings—each one unique, and each one treated with our signature care.
A few recent examples:
An Intimate Wedding to Remember
We had the privilege of hosting a truly intimate wedding for a couple who chose to embrace the unique architecture of our historic hotel. With just 50 close friends and family in attendance, the couple made a grand yet personal entrance down our dramatic stairwell—a moment that stopped time and brought everyone to tears. The reception was adorned with elegant florals and candlelight. It wasn’t a grand affair by size, but by emotion, love, and detail—it was one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve ever hosted.
SGMP Regional Meeting
We had the honor of hosting the Society of Government Meeting Professionals (SGMP) for their regional meeting, welcoming approximately 50 attendees from across the country. SGMP is the only organization in the U.S. that offers a Certified Government Meeting Professional (CGMP) designation, making their events highly specialized and impactful. In fact, the San Antonio Alamo Chapter of SGMP was originally chartered right here at The Emily Morgan Hotel—in our historic Library Room. This particular event was a great example of our team’s ability to manage complex logistics and create a seamless experience. Attendees enjoyed a dynamic flow between the Library, the William Phillip King Room, and ORO Restaurant, participating in everything from educational sessions to local culinary tastings and lively networking events.
Dinner Detective
One of the most engaging recurring experiences we’ve hosted is The Dinner Detective, a nationally acclaimed murder mystery dinner show that blends live theater with a three-course meal. With an average attendance of 70 guests per show, our event space transforms into an interactive crime scene where actors sit among the audience, keeping everyone on their toes. The crowd is always a blend of locals and out-of-town guests celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and team outings. The energy is electric, and the laughter is contagious—proof that a dinner can be so much more than just a meal.
In every case, our team worked behind the scenes to ensure that everything flowed seamlessly—from the first handshake to the final toast.
