“Since we work mainly with corporate groups, budget is often the determining factor in selecting a venue,” said Jeff Feinberg,owner and partner of Roberts Event Group. “Other important elements include: location, catering options, the‘wow’ factor,and capacity.”
Still more considerations in the venue selection process might include a property’s audio-visual capa- bilities, as well as existing decor and lighting.
According to Robert Carachilo, owner and managing partner of Roberts Event Group, in order to create a successful event, it’s important to have a great partner- ship with the venue. This is especially helpful when facilitating any unique requests thatmay arise through- out the planning process.He adds that other important aspects that lead to a successful event include: access to the venue for both attendees and vendors,as well as the venue’s flexibility in accommodating the budget,as well as special menu requests,and unique set ups.
“What our clients find important when selecting a venue for their events can be summed up using the‘five pillars of venue selection’,” said Carachilo.“These are: location, amenities, budget, capacity and uniqueness. Also important to them are: service, catering, and for the venue to be representative of the message of the overall convention or meeting.”
