Helping retreat organizers choose the right venue — with clarity.

The venue search eats 20+ hours and quote comparison is almost impossible manually. We turn these steps into simple and clear pictures.

How we help

Two hard parts, made simple.

The search

Find the venue that fits your vision

Thousands of venues, most of them generic — and the few that match your vision are hard to pin point. We cut through the noise, uncover hidden gems, and come back with a curated few that genuinely fit your retreat.

The quotes

Compare the real terms and estimate your profit

No two venues price the same way, so quotes are near-impossible to line up by hand. We put every offer on one footing — what it costs, where you break even, and what you'd keep — in one clear view.

What you'll get back for the quotes comparison

This is what lands in your inbox.

Have a look around the example below — your venues laid out together, what each one really costs per person, where you break even, the room-by-room picture. It's the same thing we'd put together for your own retreat (the venues here are real; we've just changed their names).

The care is in the attention to detail — we analyse every page, every clause of every offer, on your side.

How it works

We automate the hard work; the decision stays yours.

No forms to wrestle with, no complex process. You send what you have and tell us about your retreat; we do the precise quote analysis and hand back a powerful view you can decide from.

1

Send us your brief or your quotes.

An email to hello@makanoo.com, or the form below. Whatever stage you're at — still searching, or quotes already in hand.

2

We put every quote on the same footing.

We line every offer up on common terms and work through the economics underneath: what you actually pay, where you break even, and how your margin moves as the group fills. It's complex work, and we carry it on our side — so in record time you get back one insightful picture to plan your retreat from.

3

You receive a clear comparison and retreat pricing assistant.

Every venue side by side: what you get by attendance, where you break even, the room-by-room view, a retreat pricing assistant, and venue recommendations.

4

You decide.

We give you the clarity; the choice stays yours. We're paid for the comparison, not by the venues you're choosing between — so nothing tilts the recommendation.

A few questions

Good to know.

How long does it take?

Quote comparisons usually take a couple of hours from receiving the documents, but sometimes it needs more work and can take up to 48 hours. Venue search takes 2–3 days.

What if my venue isn't one you know?

No problem. The comparison works for any venue's quote; knowing the venues is for finding them, not for comparing them.

Can I see what one looks like?

Yes — a real example.

How much does it cost?

€50 per comparison while we're working with our first organisers.
