What is the Black Speakers Network Retreat?
  • First and foremost, this is a private experience exclusive to established Black Speakers Network Premium Members and invited guests. Attendance is not available to the public.
  • The BSN retreat is for us as entrepreneurs to connect socially.
  • However, since so often we never get to meet each other’s support networks, the BSN retreat is also for them.  Feel free to invite your partner or any other adult who plays a significant role in supporting your business!
  • The BSN retreat is your time to decompress and return refreshed.
  • It’s an all-inclusive vacation with your peers on a tropical island known for delicious food, being the island of happy days, vivid nights and dreams that come true.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

The best part about working with Events by Ashé was that everything is done for you.  Transportation, accommodation, parties, etc. And there’s still enough free time to enjoy on your own. I liked that we had the schedule and you just show up at the appointed meeting place at the right time. I was also very happy that everyone in the group looked out for each other while we were out at the events.

I have worked with Esha on several of her events and am happy to share that she is excellent at creating a magical and results-oriented experience for her clients…Events by Ashé should be your choice in creating your next event.

I recently attended an event coordinated by Events by Ashé. The event was very tastefully done, with lots of attention to detail. The food and beverage selections were tastefully presented. The on-site host managed the schedule and facilitated the activities so we did not run over. I look forward to hiring Events by Ashé for our next function.

FAQs

Do I need a negative COVID test result to travel to Jamaica?

Currently, a negative COVID-19 test result is needed to enter Jamaica along with a completed travel authorization form.  As we get closer to the trip, we’ll keep you up to date with any requirements (including vaccinations, as applicable) that you may need to board your flight to Jamaica.

When coming back to the US, will I need a negative COVID test result?

Currently, you do need a negative COVID-19 test result to board your return flight to the US.  It’s also acceptable that you have proof of recovery from COVID-19.  This requirement may not be needed in January 2022 however, we will keep you updated the closer we get to the trip.

In January 2002, should a negative COVID-19 test still be a requirement to return to the US, please note:

  • COVID-19 testing is offered at the Hotel Riu Montego Bay at no additional cost to all US arrivals.
  • In the unlikely event that you have a positive COVID-19 test, you will be required to remain in quarantine at Hotel Riu Montego Bay.  They currently offer a quarantined stay extension up to 10 days from check-out to customers who test positive.  There is no additional cost for this extended stay.   Any further tests will be at the responsibility of the client.
  • Again, we will keep you updated about any travel requirements as we get closer to the dates of travel.
