Using Cvent to Find an Event Space

Cvent is an online event management company. If you are planning an event you can use their software to send out invitations, manage RSVPs, collect fees and book hotels. You can also use Cvent to find the perfect venue for your event.

Cvent’s free venue selection tool is easy to use and lets you scan for the perfect event space.  Just type in your location and click to include your requirements. The tool filters to find the perfect match for you.

Many users have had very good luck with Cvent. I’m in the process of using the site selection tool to come up with a location across the country from me to host a corporate event I’m planning. It’s helping me narrow down locations so I have a shorter list to call on and make appointments with.

One tip – do follow up with locations with an actual phone call in order to drill down on your needs, their space and get a better quote from them.

About the author

Cynthia Greenberg

I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t helping out with a fundraiser or planning a party, whether it was charity leagues in junior high school or fundraisers in high school. I pursued marketing in college as I loved how many exciting roles were covered under one umbrella. It opened the door for me to pursue PR, communications and events. I found a career that is the perfect balance of exactly who I am – creative and detailed. As a public relations and marketing/communications executive with over 15 years of experience, event planning has been at the core of much of my work. I’ve planned everything from a 2,000 person corporate gala to company retreats, charitable auctions and intimate cocktail parties. Event planning is a passion. When I’m not working my day-job as the head of PR/communications, I dedicate my time to the New York Junior League as well as other charitable organizations. (For my full bio, please see LinkedIn.)
