The Events Bureau: Just putting it out there...

We have been around. We've done events in various venues in and around the metro. After years of going around these ballrooms, halls and tents, we've seen quite a range in terms of functionality and practicality. Some venues offer real value-for-money with the best location, rates, ample parking space and, our main criteria, their consideration of trade partners like us (event planners and technical suppliers) in their overall planning and design. While most venues really make our jobs easier by providing strategic access points for ingress and egress, there are those that require some creative solutions and often times, more elbow grease to get the job done.

So we're putting out this blog, to help out those who are looking for the venue to match their events. We are reviewing these ballrooms, halls and tents from the technical standpoint, hoping that our two-cents worth will somehow help improve their present conditions, and perhaps, some design considerations be included in planning for future venues.

We also encourage you to share your stories. Tell us all about your recent event, particularly the venue and the service you got. Email your stories to events8888@gmail.com.

Some of the pictures posted here are from ocular inspections of the venues prior to booking them for the event, while others are from the actual setup we have made.
