3 Time-Saving Tips to Source the Perfect Venue
In 2019, a whopping 66% of corporate parties took place in the last 3 months of the year, with 40% in December alone. While 2020 and 2021 defied all norms, starting this September, we’re gearing up for a return to (our new) normal.
As we return to team-building sessions, company off-sites, post-conference dinners, client lunches and holiday parties, many of these events will need to be planned remotely, by and for distributed teams.
If it feels like a lot at once, we’re here to help. Scroll down for 3 tips that will help you find the right venues and plan this fall’s events in a fraction of the time.
1. Search for Video Content
A venue may look great in photos, but why stop there? Before scheduling a visit, look for video content to confirm which spaces are worth the trip, and which are safe to skip. Use our “Content” filter to search venues with video walkthroughs and visit without leaving your seat. Other great resources for venue & user-generated content include YouTube, Instagram (Reels) and TikTok.
Pro Tip: If videos are not available online, ask the venue’s Event Team if they have saved videos they’re able to share privately, or if they can take you on a virtual tour with their phone.
2. Schedule a Free Event Consult
During our 15 minute call, zoom or chat, we’ll start by learning about your team, your event goals, any AV or hybrid needs, accessibility, budget and more. We’ll end with a list of recommended venues and help you confirm pricing and availability for the ones you like.
3. Let Someone Else Search for You
Short on time? Submit your event details and a SixPlus Concierge Associate will search our venue database for spaces that meet your criteria. It’s a great way to get the ball rolling with minimal effort.
Note: Free Concierge service is currently available in NYC, DC, SF & Boston.
