HelmsBriscoe

HelmsBriscoe was founded in 1992 by Roger Helms with a very simple premise – by representing our clients we can create the best match between the needs of the meeting planner and the right hotel. Because we work on behalf of our clients and not as a hotel representative, we diligently research hotels all over the world to find the best location and price based on the criteria you provide.
