When looking for an event space, it is <br />essential that the event planner secures <br />the right venue to maximize attendance. <br />It must represent the brand correctly, <br />and provide the right facilities necessary. <br />There are many things to consider before <br />settling on the final choice, including <br />such factors as size, budget, on -site <br />facilities, service levels - and that's just <br />to start! For an event planner, this can <br />be a daunting task, especially if one has <br />limited time and resources. <br />MOW P' IP'P l� <br />Hotel Meeting Venues <br />Hotels are a great option to start with. <br />Many hotels are specifically designed <br />for meetings and conferences, providing <br />flexible spaces that can be adapted to suit <br />each event's specific requirements. They <br />also often come with on -site technical <br />assistance, which makes ordering <br />equipment simple. However, the greatest <br />advantage of a hotel is that you can <br />have everything happening under one <br />roof - from accommodation to dinners, <br />which makes it much easier for event <br />organizers. Hotels in the Twin Cities <br />Gateway catering to business meetings <br />include the Best Western Plus Blaine at <br />the National Sports Center, Country Inn <br />& Suites Coon Rapids, Hampton Inn & <br />Suites Lino Lakes, Hilton Garden Inn in <br />Shoreview, Homewood Suites by Hilton in <br />New Brighton, and the larger North Metro <br />Event Center in Shoreview. <br />Golf Club Meeting Venues <br />Golf clubs are often ideal settings for <br />business meetings and events from <br />small board meetings to large seminars <br />and retreats. They have the facilities and <br />expertise to accommodate everything <br />including meals and beverages, <br />meeting and banquet facilities and <br />AV equipment. Of course an excellent <br />golf outing adds a dimension of fun <br />and relaxation to your event if you <br />so choose. The Twin Cities Gateway <br />features four outstanding golf clubs <br />that cater to elegant business meetings <br />and events: Bunker Hills Golf Club, <br />Green Haven Golf and Banquet Center, <br />Majestic Oaks Golf Club and TPC Twin <br />Cities. <br />Community Centers <br />Community centers provide excellent <br />meeting venues with flexible meeting <br />spaces to accommodate small break <br />out groups to very large meetings or <br />banquets. Most have large kitchen <br />facilities, but allow you the freedom to <br />choose your own caterers and/or bar <br />staff where allowed. Community centers <br />in the Twin Cities Gateway include <br />the Coon Rapids Civic Center, New <br />Brighton Community Center, Shoreview <br />Community Center, Mounds View <br />Community Center, and the National <br />Sports Center in Blaine. <br />Banquet Facilities <br />Banquet halls are spaces dedicated to <br />hosting special events —so you know <br />that the staff knows what they're doing! <br />Banquet halls are often all-inclusive and <br />offer a lot of amenities, like catering and <br />rentals, on site, which can make things <br />easier when it comes to coordinating <br />your event. The Twin Cities Gateway <br />has several banquet facilities including <br />Purple Rose, Brookhall Event Center, <br />Banquets of MN, Thai Twist Restaurant <br />& Banquet Hall. <br />Weddings <br />Arguably one of the most challenging <br />tasks of wedding planning is finding the <br />perfect wedding venue. Researching, <br />visiting, and finally booking just the right <br />wedding venue that fits your needs, <br />budget, and vision for your big day is no <br />easy feat. To complicate matters even <br />further, often you have no idea which <br />type of wedding venue would be right <br />for you and your celebration. <br />
