Cara Reilkoff
Cara Reilkoff knows how much time goes into finding the right hotel for a meeting or event. Between researching locations, comparing proposals, and sorting through contract details, the work can add up quickly. She founded Custom Meeting Solutions to take those tasks off her clients’ plates and give them an experienced partner throughout the process.
With a background in hotel sales, hotel sourcing, and planning events from concept through completion, Cara understands both sides of the conversation. Her hotel experience helps her ask the right questions, spot details that could be overlooked, and negotiate room rates, meeting space, concessions, and contract terms that fit her clients’ needs.
Cara has helped clients secure hotels and room blocks for corporate meetings, executive gatherings, and company events. Through CMS’s complimentary hotel sourcing services, she helps clients weigh their options and feel confident in their decisions. Her clients have recognized her for being responsive, easy to work with, and committed to saving them time.
As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), Cara also brings experience managing complex projects and keeping people, priorities, and deadlines aligned. She believes good planning starts with listening, understanding what matters most, and following through on the details.
Cara lives in the Texas Hill Country near Austin with her husband and son. Outside of work, she enjoys family time, recharging at the gym, and creating custom resin artwork as the artist behind CR Custom Creative.
