Meagan Culkin got her start in the events industry 15 years ago in catering and banquet management. Before going full time in her own business, she worked at several different venues over the years, and eventually began consulting for new venues who were struggling to market to their ideal clientele. What started as a one woman operation 11 years ago, has now grown to a team of 17 planners, designers, bartenders, and event assistants in both NC and VA. When she’s not planning weddings, Meagan enjoys traveling, cuddling with her three dogs, and filming Tik Tok videos when she should probably be answering emails.
TOPIC
Planning Open Houses that Convert to Booked Clients
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Venue open houses always start with good intentions. But so often we find that venues plan these type of events without direction and therefore, it can be overwhelming for couples who are coming to tour the space. This presentation will walk venue owners through the process of creating an event that not only paints their space in a beautiful way but also walks couples through a stress-free process of booking your dream team.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the presentation, attendees should expect to learn about:
- Review the largest mistakes venues make when planning open houses
- Tips for leaving a lasting impact on your guests
- The importance of streamlining your vendor list at open houses
- Case studies from past events hosted and the pros/cons of each
