There are many factors that impact how venues price their rental fees and costs. This class reviewed a wide range of these factors, such as timing (lead time, day of week, time of year, time of day, etc.); size of your event vs. size of venue; in-house services; food and beverage, etc. We covered a number of strategies on how to get the best deal possible with venues.

We may not have been in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, but our mixer was the next best thing! We grabbed our masks, some beads, and a handful of business cards and did a bit of fun, unique networking. Pier A went above and beyond with Louisiana faves including jambalaya, crab cakes beignets and of course King Cake. The cool sounds of Talisman Jazz Trio added to the authentic vibe. Until next year, Laissez les bons temps rouler!
