Pick Three – Central Florida
John Roth
Director of Marketing; Convention Planning Services, a DMC Network Company; Orlando
What are three of your favorite venues for off-site group events in Orlando?
- Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar, Pointe Orlando: I like Cuba Libre because I can do a buyout of the facility and immerse my group in the tropical setting of an Old Havana courtyard.
