Success w/Marketing to Special Occasion Groups?

QUESTION: Has anyone had success going all in on marketing to groups celebrating milestones? 

Partner and I bought our first STR in Western NC. Big 5 BR home with gorgeous views of a lake and mountains beyond. As most know, this region was hit hard by Hurricane Helene. Currently it's slow season and it's even slower than usual from what I understand.

We are thinking about how to build demand through targeted marketing strategies. One idea I have is that we could go all in on becoming a home targeted at groups celebrating milestones (birthdays, weddings, family reunions etc). I’d plan for extra amenities like special decor or concierge services. 

Has anyone had success with the strategy? If so, what were the key ingredients or tactics you used to make this work? How / where did you market? 

Appreciate any insights on this. We are really worried about lack of demand being a continued issue since our town may not even open our lake this summer due to storm contamination 🥲
