The hotel and tourist destination experts.

We offer truly custom service, which means that we have actually gone to see the vast majority of venues and destinations we recommend to our customers.

Unlike hotel and meeting booking platforms, which often do little more than provide price comparisons, we work closely with you to draw up detailed specifications for your event. Depending on your needs, we can handle everything, from selecting the best quotes and organizing go-see trips to coordinating your vendors on the day of the event. 

At Congress & Meeting Solutions, people come first. Our greatest satisfaction comes from building and maintaining long-term relationships with our customers, working hand-in-hand to create stellar business events.

We are particularly proud to say that many of our customers treat us like part of their team!

We do more than just source venues. We draw on our network and purchasing power to negotiate the best rates and conditions for your chosen venue.

We can also streamline your purchasing processes by routing orders in your name through our Purchasing Center.

METHODOLOGY

MAKING YOUR EVENT A SUCCESS

1.

Needs analysis Specifications


We work with you to draw up specifications for your event. We listen closely to your needs and translate them into detailed requirements, like capacity, equipment, amenities, services, and more. Next, we recommend venues and destinations likely to best meet your needs and, together, narrow the selection down to a short list.

2.

Venue sourcing Selection


We identify the venues most likely to meet your needs and look at pricing and availability. Next, we take a close look at the available venues and recommend a selection. You receive an easy-to-read comparative price quote with all of the facts you need to rapidly make an informed decision.

3.

Contracts & introductions Negotiation


Once you have chosen the venue for your event, we negotiate the pricing and contract terms with the vendor. Only then do we introduce you to the venue’s sales/events staff to sign the contract.

4.

Support services Logistics


The venue finding service, in the strict sense of the term, ends when you sign the contract with the venue. However, Congress & Meeting Solutions can continue to assist you with the logistics of your business event.
