1.
Welcoming & knowledgeable staff:
Planning a corporate event is no easy feat
which is why it’s important to select a staff who’s not only accommodating but
attuned to your needs. Finding a team that can work closely with you to provide
an exceptional experience from start to finish makes the process all the more
enjoyable.
2.
Catering Options:
Not everyone likes the same thing
and working with a venue who’s flexible to you and your food requirements can be
a challenge. If bringing outside food in and switching things up is important
to you, it’s worth the time and research to find a venue that allows for outside catering options.
3.
Location & Accessibility:
-Always account for Parking. Does the
venue have enough onsite spots or will you need valet?
-Ask the venue for hotel recommendations
and whether or not they partner with certain hotels in the area for a cheaper
rate.
-If your event is a weekend extravaganza or even
longer than one day, scout the area for local hot spots/entertainment especially when
traveling from another city.
4.
A/V & Wi-Fi:
If A/V is a necessity for your
event, plan on asking thorough questions so that you can be certain what the
venue has onsite and what will need to be brought in. The last thing anyone needs is a mishap related to technology.
-Don't forget: Wi-Fi, is it
Staff only or do they have a guest Wi-Fi?
5.
Overall atmosphere:
-Is the environment welcoming and
does it provide an open floor plan with windows and an outdoor patio for guests
to move into?
-Does the layout work for your flow
of traffic and overall vision for the floorplan?
-Is it transitional from a day of
business meetings to an evening of Happy hour and networking?
We hope these tips help & of course, Verona Villa is always here to help with your corporate event needs!
