Expert contract negotiation for events and hospitality. We secure the best terms saving your company time, money and risk.
Why Work With Us
At Elite Negotiation Partners, we are dedicated to maximizing your budget and bringing your event vision to life. Too often, the high costs of conferences, galas, and corporate events are accepted without question — leaving less room for what really matters: the experience itself.
We specialize in negotiating contracts for hotels, catering, AV, and more, helping organizations save up to 50% off market prices. Our services are structured with a starter fee to get things rolling, and the majority of our fee is tied directly to the savings we secure for you — so you only pay for results.
Whether you’ve already selected a venue or need help narrowing down your options, we handle the negotiation from start to finish, ensuring your event runs smoothly, stays within budget, and delivers the impact you envision.
Who We Help
Special events deserve expert negotiation.
From galas and conferences to team reunions and socials, we help organizations maximize savings on hotels, catering, and AV while securing contracts that work for them.
Whether it’s a single room block, a multi-day conference, or a full-scale gala, we handle the details so you can focus on your event.
Real results. Real savings.
Hi! I’m Lauren Crisman. With over a decade of experience in the non-profit sector, I launched Elite Negotiation Partners after seeing the significant need for organizations to reduce costs in event contracts.
Over the past seven years, I’ve helped organizations save over a million dollars by leveraging my strategic negotiation skills and market expertise. From hotels and catering to AV and room blocks, I negotiate contracts so your budget works harder — without sacrificing quality or the event experience.
If you have an upcoming event, I’ll review your quotes, identify hidden savings, and negotiate the best possible deals on your behalf — giving you peace of mind and results you can see.

Contract Negotiation Service
When to choose: You’ve already picked your venue but haven’t started negotiations.
Pay an upfront fee to secure your spot. We negotiate your contract to maximize savings on catering, room blocks, AV, and key event terms! We take a percentage of the total savings, minus your upfront fee. Essentially, we don’t make money unless you save.
Example: We negotiate a $120 per person dinner down to $50 for 1,000 guests = $70,000 in savings.
