The founder and creative director of The Bon Soir, Megan Gross, was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine for her experience in the VIP experience industry.

“…Megan Gross, who specializes in selling VIP experiences at another concierge company, which was called IfOnly before it was acquired by MasterCard, worries about the effect certain Confirmed360 practices will have on the business as a whole

IfOnly worked directly with talent, as well as philanthropic organizations. When Confirmed360 started snatching up their inventory and reselling it — against IfOnly’s terms and conditions — it “created havoc,”Gross says. Not only did IfOnly have to eat thousands of dollars in refunds when it couldn’t fulfill promises made by Confirmed360, Gross believes that IfOnly’s good standing in the marketplace was damaged. “It was a terrible experience for both the customer and the talent,” Gross says, pointing to one “massive, brand-name artist” who she claims became “furious” about Confirmed360 having marked up package prices without the charity’s permission. She adds, “It jeopardized our relationship in working with that artist.”

Our bespoke services

At The Bon Soir, we bring your desires to fruition. We are not afraid of bold proposals, non-traditional, or out-of-the-box requests. We will create an up-close-and-personal experience that tells a story and leaves a lasting impression. We can adapt to all tastes and desires: culinary, sports, music, wine, adventure, art, and creative learning.

Instead of a typical dinner party at your favorite local restaurant, why not bring the Head Chef and his trusty staff to your home to cook culinary delights while teaching a thing or two on how their notable dishes are prepared. The wait services, wine pairing, cooking utensils, plateware can all be arranged. No cleanup required.

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at your local zoo? Join the zookeepers to feed and tend to exotic animals. As you step into their habitat, your private guide will provide interesting facts about these precious wildlife creatures and their efforts to sustain them.

We’ve all dreamed what it would be like to meet our favorite musician. Due to our expansive roster of notable artists, musicians, and celebrities, we can arrange meet-and-greets at concerts, personalized memorabilia, and other related opportunities. We are not the first company to claim to do so, but our process to securing these opportunities is different from most. We refuse to go through 3rd parties and only work directly with the talent or their supporting charities.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, our founder Megan Gross goes on the record to state working through third parties who don’t have direct connections to talent can be expensive and disappointing.

About me

I am Megan Gross, founder and creative director of The Bon Soir.

Explorer and adventurer; determined and passionate: Just some of my personality characteristics that led to the creation of The Bon Soir.

My aesthetic sense was refined by traveling around the world. I have lived in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Detroit and Paris. I have produced high-profile experiential programs for world-renowned companies: Mastercard, Quintessentially, Palms Casino Resort, and have served as an experiential consultant for American Express, AirBnb, Hyatt, and Rodan + Fields. I collaborated with agencies around the world to provide unique, exceptional experiences to their local markets.

My jobs are full of unbelievable encounters. I have worked with hundreds of noteworthy artists and celebrities including The Rolling Stones, Serena Williams, Chef Daniel Boulud, Chef Alice Waters, John Legend, Shania Twain, to name a few.

My passion is for exploring the unique experiences the world has to offer: driving Formula 1s under the tutelage of a prestigious trainer; dog-sledding in isolated, sub-zero conditions; canyoning in the French Alps; kitesurfing the Aegean Sea; and surfing any wave I find.

Philanthropically, I believe in being a force for good. I actively volunteer with the American Red Cross as a disaster responder and am determined to help those in need. I am committed to animal welfare, humanitarianism, and supporting burgeoning artists.

My joy arises from the happiness of others. I love to design moments that create such joy. I offer you this opportunity by creating The Bon Soir.

Testimonials

“Megan is very personable, easy to work with, and very prompt with ideas and responses. Her suggestions were wonderful, and so nice to have a few to select from. Megan clearly knew the venues and her connections to the venues and other services (limo, music, photography, etc.) made everything very easy. She definitely took the stress out of planning (a last minute!) celebration and I felt confident from the start that she would come through (and she did)! I highly recommend Megan Gross and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again!”
