Let's Party! Why working with a professional event organizer is best for your bottom line

Where Partying is Big Business
Banqueting is unquestionably an important division of any hotel operation. Whether the inventory is big or small, the banqueting venue in a hotel creates a great platform for various additional services that can drive F&B turnover, upsell rooms and promote the hotel itself. It’s not a secret that in well-established properties, the banqueting division generates 20-40% of the total revenue (along with F&B); in some properties it can even reach up to 50%. Business meetings and corporate events contribute to this, but weddings and engagement parties are the primary target of professional banquet organizers in the Middle East. 


In fact, creating a stunning event in a hotel’s banqueting facility is actually the result of the venue’s many divisions working together to provide the final service to a diverse audience, which includes attention to individual needs and the cultural preferences of Middle East residents. 

Generate Revenue with a Professional Event Organizer
While you can impress with the wide range of your F&B from event to event, it can be a challenge to “wow” guests who have already attended an event in your venue, particularly those guests who are looking for something really special for their own upcoming wedding, engagement or other important occasion. This is when a professional decorator/event organizer from the outside can make an essential contribution to selling the hotel’s final package. 


In addition to ensuring smooth customer service by providing the client with only one point of contact (as opposed to four or five suppliers), enlisting the help of a professional event organizer is an opportunity to cross-sell services and generate revenue via a commission-based agreement. It also opens up a wide range of design opportunities within the venue itself.
