An Event in the City? Or in the Suburbs?
Now You Can have Both!
Event planners certainly have their work cut out for them these days when choosing venues. Most importantly they must check off all the basics from their list: flexible spaces, state of the art technology, all-encompassing and delicious culinary options, extreme customer service, and reasonable cost!
But the very first thing– and perhaps the most important thing planners need to choose, is the actual venue location. Your guests are busy, schedules are packed. They simply will not attend an event at a place that is a hassle to travel to or one that is not inspiring. Time is just too precious.Consider St. John’s University in Queens, New York. Location is one of the best things about St. John’s. The University’s scenic campus is located in a tranquil suburban neighborhood in the borough of Queens, New York. And yet, it is only an easy 45-minute commute to the bright city lights of Manhattan. It literally has the best of two worlds, giving you the ability to entice more attendees to come to your meeting, conference, or social event. It is also a short distance from LaGuardia and Kennedy airports, with easily accessible public transportation. For your guests who will drive to your function, St. John’s provides ample free parking.
St. John’s University campus also has everything else event planners need for successful seminars, sporting events, meetings, trainings, or weddings and receptions. Fifteen different buildings have over 200 different, flexible, and well-equipped meeting facilities, classrooms, lecture halls, stadiums, auditoriums, or lecture halls for up to 10,000 guests. There are also overnight accommodations for up to 3,500 during the summer months. State of the art audio visual technology and support, and free WiFi are also available. Delicious culinary service options range from breakfast setups and box lunches to formal receptions and dinners. Professional security can also be added. And surprisingly, St. John’s University prices are extremely budget friendly.
