As an event planner, I am constantly scouring websites, looking for information, photos, and contact details for venues all over the country. Whether it is a hotel, a theater, a banquet hall, or a loft space, they nearly all have one thing in common:<\/p>\n
It is almost impossible to find a decent photo of what their space actually looks like.<\/strong> If they DO include a photo, it is 200 pixels square and was taken with a point-and-shoot from 1995.<\/p>\n Really? You charge $4,000 for 4 hours of room rental, but you can’t hire someone to build a decent website and take a few nice photos? You are trying to sell your space but you don’t want anyone to actually SEE it?<\/p>\n ugh.<\/p>\n And don’t even try to find room capacity information on the website. They want you to fill out a little form, wait a week for someone to contact you..by which point the date you wanted has been taken.<\/p>\n Sometimes they try to get fancy and have a video\u00c2\u00a0or some muzak start playing when you open their page, which makes you jump because you forgot to turn down the sound after watching Mad Men last night. If I want a soundtrack, I’ll turn on my own music.<\/p>\n So this is for all of the venues out there who can’t seem to get their act together:<\/strong> if you want me to use your space, build a decent website. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As an event planner, I am constantly scouring websites, looking for information, photos, and contact details for venues all over the country.
