Site Selection Services
Stellar
Events can help you find the best possible site and negotiate the best possible
contact – and this service is complimentary.
No, this isn’t too good to be
true: the contracted hotel is happy to pay us commission, and we are delighted
to assist you. Services and benefits include:
Site Search
-
Stellar Events is a
“major national account” of the primary hotel
chains. This assures rapid response and
special consideration from all queried properties.
-
Our network of
relationships,
which has developed over many years of industry experience, offers
intangible benefits—we are hospitality “insiders” and know where to find
properties that best fit our clients’ needs
-
Our current knowledge base includes not only the newest
and most exciting properties, but also includes insight into which
properties are wrong for your guests due to lack of recent renovations or
location problems.
-
In addition, we are aware of independent and smaller
properties that might otherwise be overlooked. These
“outside the box”
sites may offer the greatest value.
Site
Inspection
-
If a site inspection is desired, Stellar Events
will
arrange all details,
including transportation, accommodations, and meetings with key hotel
personnel. We will plan off−property activities or visits to venues that are
relevant to the meeting. Complimentary services will be negotiated whenever
possible.
-
A Stellar Events representative will
escort the site inspection on request.
Client will be billed for actual costs such as
transportation and on−site
expenses.
Contract
Development and Negotiations

offer reduced rates for on−line registration services when Stellar Events is
named as the “agent of record” for hotel contracts.
Client
Testimonials
-
“Our two meeting sites were
outstanding and I have had positive feedback from the attendees. The Balboa
Bay Club in particular was truly wonderful and the meeting was a great
success. One manager told me today it was the best one ever!
I have
recommended you to two of our managers and I'm sure they will contact you for
future events.”

“Yes,
I received the good news shortly after my e-mail to you. I issued a sigh of
relief.
It makes me
feel very good to know (and that the Hilton Cancun knows too) that even after
the contract has been executed, you and Hilton National are still interested in
making sure my needs are being met.”
