10 Tips for Selecting Event Venues in Spain & Andorra

Today, we'll focus on some practical aspects of selecting venues in Spain & Andorra with which you may not be familiar. 
  1. Advise your regular clients to begin their planning & searches early. If they don't they are likely to be disappointed when their preferred dates and venues are sold out.
  2. Develop a short list of destinations in Spain and what your end client requires in a venue.
  3. Consult with an Obvius project manager who can advise about the pro's and cons of each venue so you can adress your client in a proper way. 
  4. Consult the destination guides on Obvius website to uncover in-depth information about the diferent destination posibilities in Spain.
  5. Use the Obvius Local Supplier Network to conduct thorough venue searches. 
  6. Create a grid to capture and compare what the various venues have to offer.
  7. Be sure to capture important issues that may differ from your domestic market:
    • total travel time to the destination
    • travel time from the airport to the venue
    • length of the beach
    • on- and off-site available activities
    • liquor laws
    • concessions
    • attrition
    • payment terms  
  8. If your client does not have the budget for a site inspection, enlist the services of Obvius as your local partner and that of the local tourist Board or convention bureau.
  9. Be sure to determine the cost if guests want to arrive before the group block, extend their stay or upgrade to bring family members.
  10. Use the foreign language support offered by Obvius and its provider's network.

  1. Thank you, that’s great advice! It is extremely problematic to hunt for wedding locations. Your tips will prove to be great help for my son’s wedding in April. We were puzzled for some time. I will certainly keep them in mind while looking for San Francisco event venues. Have a great day!
