An ideal venue is critical to a successful event.

We offer a unique approach to site search – not a simple online search engine that requires our clients to do all the clicking and searching. Through our experience at Mary O’Connor and Co., we know that this standardized approach would not allow for us to learn about the special features and unique requirements that you most likely want for your programs. Again, our aim is to marry your particular needs and wishes with the destination that will be the best culture fit – not to offer you a cookie-cutter solution.

From cost analysis and facility capabilities to inspections and contracts, our team goes the distance to identify properties that will meet the specific needs of each organization. The Mary O’Connor and Co. way of discovering an ideal venue is the first step in ensuring the success of an event. On our clients’ behalf, we conduct extensive research to present a comprehensive list of options and, upon choosing a destination we coordinate all aspects of contract negotiation to make sure our clients receive the best value for their money.
