Have you ever had to ponder, “How do I choose the best venue for my event?” I recommend prioritizing the following: •Location Especially if you’re planning a wedding with a ceremony in a different location, your reception location is everything! Aim to keep the commute under 15min. For corporate events location can determine other activities that the group can enjoy. •Venue’s maximum capacities Educate yourself on what the capacity means for your venue. Does that number mean you can’t have a dance floor for a social event? Does that number refer to a theatre style set up, rather than classroom for a corporate event? Can you have a buffet with the maximum guest count? Will reaching that maximum number of guests limit and affect your overall event vision? •The availability of your preferred date This one is pretty easy but you’ll want to ensure the event space is available on your preferred date, and possibly a day before or after if a pre or post gathering is something you’re considering. •Your overall budget Don’t just think about the fact that your budget falls within the quote/estimate you receive, but ensure that taxes and service charges are accounted for. Additionally be sure to know what is included with the venue- tables, chairs, linen, parking, AV are often overlooked event needs. #EventPlanning #EventManagement #HospitalityIndustry #Hotels #Restaurants #Tourism #WomenInHospitality

When was the last time you were held hostage at a hotel while attending an event? Here’s how often it happens. As an event planner, I've learned the importance of selecting the right hotel that offers amenities outside of our event space. Attendees need the option to: - Step away and recharge in a private sitting area - Catch up on work at a business center - Enjoy a meal with a few friends - Walk to attractions When you don’t select a hotel that has breathing room, guests flee to their rooms for relief. It’s the opposite attendee experience you want them to have. Hotel amenities enhances the overall experience for attendees and allows for more networking in a relaxed environment. However!!! You have to be careful to avoid overstimulating attendees with options. I think of all the Vegas hotels that have so many distractions before you even get to the event space. You want to avoid people registering for your event only to bypass programming and take a vacation on the company dime. The right amenities can make a huge difference in the success of your event! P.S. What hotel amenity do you love most? ♻️ Steal & Repost if You Agree

Elevating Hospitality Experiences: Connecting Events with Memorable Stays Hospitality, lodging services, and events are closely interconnected in the hotel industry. Businesses organize various events to provide their customers with memorable experiences. These events can enhance guests' holidays or business trips and strengthen the hotel's brand image. For example, a hotel may offer its guests a range of events such as welcome parties, themed dinners, live music shows, sports events, or art exhibitions. These events can encourage interaction among guests, fostering social bonds and creating unforgettable memories. Additionally, hotels and lodging establishments provide venue rental services for business meetings, conferences, weddings, engagement parties, and other special events. These events not only increase the hotel's revenue but also offer opportunities to expand the customer base and enhance brand awareness. Events can also be used as a strategic marketing tool in the hospitality industry. For instance, a hotel may sponsor local events such as a cooking competition or an art festival or organize its own events to reach target audiences. Such events can increase the hotel's engagement with the community and demonstrate its commitment to the local community. In conclusion, the hotel industry, hospitality, and lodging services sectors are closely intertwined with events, and when combined with the right strategies, they can enhance businesses' success by providing customers with memorable experiences. . . . #Hospitality #HotelIndustry #EventPlanning #EventManagement #HospitalityManagement #HotelEvents #MeetingPlanning #ConferencePlanning #EventProfs #HotelMarketing

Does your venue require a temporary portable dance floor? Has your venue missed out on opportunities due to a lack of a dance floor? This does not have to be the case. At Burgess, we understand that not all venues have this fitted feature, or that the space must be multi-functional to host a wide range of events, from conferences to weddings and beyond. That's why we created the portable dance floor, which can transform any event area into a lively celebration quickly and easily without professional installers.
