Uniquely Entertaining
by Jennie Tis, Roberts Event Group
There is no better way to increase interest in your event than by choosing a terrific venue. Guests arrive eager to explore the attraction; all while being offered the finest in food and drink at every turn.
Offering an engaging experience that people can’t just buy for themselves truly sets museums, attractions and theaters up perfectly to host events. The architecture of the museums, combined with the thoughtfully displayed exhibits, creates an unforgettable setting for your guests.
Hosting an event at The National Air and Space Museum“allows your attendees the opportunity to privately explore the most visited museum in the world,”says Linda Hicks,director of special events for the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. Also noting that the museum offers a dazzling array of aircraft and spacecraft - overhead and around the guests - that add a dynamic atmosphere to the event space.
The sentiment of guests’wonderment is echoed by Ginger Bickley,event sales man- ager for the National Constitution Center,“With a 60-foot-high ceiling and sweeping windows, the National Constitution Center offers a breathtaking birds-eye view of Philadelphia’s historic landmarks. Our more intimate event spaces offer a unique experience as a location for receptions,dinners,meetings and programs.”
Entertaining at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) offers a modern twist in a traditional setting. Don Blyler,venue sales and events manager for PAFA, points out, “Aside from hosting an event in a building of stunning architecture,a PAFA event is one surrounded by history. PAFA has the distinction of being America's first art museum,as well as America's first art school. Clients often com- ment on the uniqueness of their events held here because of they are able to actu- ally entertain in the gallery, providing a very ‘up close and personal’experience in relation to the artwork and sculpture.”
Events in this amazing location also can include students who will sketch throughout the evening.
