How We Serve Private, Corporate, and Nonprofit Clients (Part II: Corporate and Small Business Events)

About one-third of The Venue’s business is comprised of professional (corporate or small business) events. From board meetings, planning retreats, annual meetings, and employee award celebrations, to trainings, expos & tradeshows, conferences & workshops, product launches, and even holiday parties, these events demand smooth logistics in a comfortable, well-equipped environment. Here is what we offer for these events...

Flexible Space Options:
Our ballroom breaks down into 3 rooms, perfect for keynote sessions, breakout spaces, meals, networking areas, etc.. The Venue also features our Fireside Concourse, a pre-function area idea for registration, vendor & sponsor booths, break time, after-business socials, and more. For the weather-friendly months of the year, our professional groups enjoy our covered patio, courtyard and garden areas during event down-time.

We maintain an impressive selection of a variety of table sizes and types (rounds, banquets, high-tops, classrooms, serpentines, etc.). Of course, we also offer linen and décor options as upgrades for a turn-key process.

Technology & Connectivity
Guests will find ample power sources throughout our ballroom, including both wall outlets and floor boxes (which are on individual circuits). Also located in the floor boxes is connection access to The Venue’s AV system and fiber-based Internet. Guests can access the Internet through 21 WiFi hotspots located throughout the building and grounds. All access to the Internet is complimentary. A special secure login is available for processing credit card transactions or for accessing other sensitive company information.

The Venue’s built-in AV system in the ballroom features recessed screens ranging in diagonal size from 109” to 164”. Our recessed laser projectors range in power from 7600 to 9000 lumens. Rounding out the system are Bose commercial speakers generously spread across the ceiling throughout the building. Access to 3, 65” commercial video displays is available in the Fireside Concourse area. 

Other available AV equipment includes wired, wireless-handheld and headset/body pack microphones; floor and table mic stands; podiums; flexible lighting (including an option for colored downlighting); a sound mixer board for more advanced AV needs; whiteboard easels with flipcharts & markers; power strips; and system connection cords & adapters. We also offer rental of our videoconferencing equipment to enable Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or other similar virtual meetings. For more intensive AV needs, The Venue maintains partnerships with several production companies.

Professional Service
Though space, resource inventory, and technology are important for corporate and business events, perhaps the most important service The Venue offers is that of a professional event planning staff. Our event management team strategically works with clients from inquiry through event execution to ensure every planning box is checked and even the most minute detail is arranged. Our goal is to remove any worry or stress from the client’s shoulders to deliver a flawless experience for their guests. We frequently share that, “The beautiful facility earns us the business, while the five-star planning and service staff keep them coming back.”

Speaking of service staff, hundreds of reviews on a wide variety of social media platforms speak to the level of service our guests receive when they host an event at The Venue. Many corporate clients plan events all over the country and share that their experience at The Venue was unsurpassed. Our service staff is kind, hospitable and accommodating, as their goal is to make every guest leave happy and every client, satisfied.

But it’s not just our in-house staff that is critical to the success of a professional event, it’s also our reliable, knowledgeable, and highly-reputed 3rd party vendors. The Venue’s partner vendors have completed a thorough vetting process to ensure that when they work with a Venue client, they represent us – and themselves – well. We proudly share our vendor list with contact information on our website.

The staff of The Venue at Lenoir City understands that time is money. When working with corporate planners, our goal is to ensure that every detail - from registration tables to refreshment breaks - is handled efficiently and thoroughly. Our modern, comfortable spaces, tech-friendly facilities, and outstanding staff help ensure your attendees can stay focused and engaged.
