When booking a venue for a wedding, corporate retreat, holiday party or other celebration, you may be directed to their list of preferred professionals. Preferred professionals are those companies the venue has worked with in the past.
Benefits of working with preferred professionals include:
Trust. If you trust the venue to deliver on your wedding day or special event, you can trust their preferred professionals. These are companies the venue has worked with and had success with in the past. You can be confident the standards of the companies are equivalent to the standards of the venue you are booking.
Time saved. Instead of seeking out companies on your own and not knowing their reputation, all you have to do is make a couple of calls to set up appointments with caterers, florists and more. You are already guaranteed a standard of quality. All that's left is to decide which company best suits your individual tastes.
No stress. You won't have to worry about whether or not the company will show up, or if the food will be as good as at the tasting. The reasons venues, especially upscale venues, use preferred professionals is they want every portion of your celebration to be as elegant and fabulous as the next.
Peace of mind. This comes into play especially with photographers and caterers. When they know the venue, photographers know the best backdrops for photography. They know where the light will be and when and how to use the setting to your advantage. Caterers will be familiar with the kitchen facilities and will be able to provide efficient, delectable service.
By working with a venue that requires preferred professionals you are being assured that you will have a certain level of quality and style. You know food will be up to the standards of the venue. Floral arrangements will compliment the space you are celebrating in. DJs will understand the acoustics of the room and be able to best serve your musical needs. They may also be able to utilize lighting effects you hadn't thought about.
From wedding venues to celebration halls, to corporate retreats, choose a venue that reflects your style and taste, then trust that venue to carry through your style to every other service provided. Be sure to set up appointments to make sure food styles are to your liking and flower arrangements reflect your tastes. Because a vendor will give you several options for preferred professionals, be sure to choose the one that best suits your personality. After all, this is your celebration!
