About the Company
Meaningful Experiences is a New York City–based company specializing in curated events that inspire, connect, and create lasting impact for corporate teams and employee resource groups. We design bespoke experiences tailored to your group’s values and interests, using the city’s unparalleled cultural assets as the backdrop. From Broadway shows and Lincoln Center performances to world-class museums and culinary adventures, each program can be elevated with exclusive VIP access such as artist meet-and-greets, behind-the-scenes tours, and personalized hospitality. Whether you are fostering ERG engagement, building stronger teams, hosting executive outings, or entertaining clients, we transform New York City into your organization’s most meaningful stage.
It all started during the first Fall of the Pandemic. Founder, Rowena Sahulee, missed seeing her friends and her city but she wanted to do it safely. She had an idea to charter a double decker bus. She asked her friends if they wanted to join. It was an instant yes. But it was when they drove back over the Manhattan bridge from Brooklyn and she saw the breadth of NYC again, she felt NYC in her soul.
She offered the double decker bus tour again during the holidays to see the festive holiday lights. Turns out she made money by accident. That’s when she knew she had something special. Not everyone has the knowledge and ability to manage all the relationships to curate a meaningful experience like that. She did. So, after 25 years working for government, nonprofit and private entities, she started Meaningful Experiences, LLC.
It’s the feeling she felt on that double decker bus that first that she wants to replicate with each Meaningful Experience.
