The Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Tulsa is offering clients a “Suite Deal.” Those who make a catering or banquet booking between $10,000 and $20,000 for their next convention or event will receive a certificate for a complimentary one night stay in one of the Crowne Plaza’s five elegantly appointed, luxurious suites.
Bookings for $20,000 and up will receive a complimentary one-night stay in a two-bedroom suite. Crowne Plaza’s suites are known for their luxury and generous size (two of them are over 2,350 square feet.) Crowne Plaza General Manager Marlin Keranen says, “The design and comfort of our suites was one of our highest priorities during our $24 million renovation. We’re pleased to be able to offer our clients an opportunity to experience the singular comfort and luxury of our suites with this special offer.”
As 2010 gets underway, there’s no doubt that companies will need a suitable place to hold corporate conventions, events, business meetings and seminars. The Crowne Plaza, so conveniently located downtown, with its wide spectrum of professional services and amenities, provides the total event management service that clients value so highly. Keranen says that one of the keys to Crowne Plaza’s continued success as a corporate event and meeting venue is its comprehensive, personalized, and detailed approach to event management. “Our role is to make the process seamless and smooth from start to finish no matter what the scale of the event,” he says.
Crowne Plaza’s expert total event management staff handles everything from initial pre-event planning, to arranging all of the details, daily monitoring and management of the event. In addition, there are daily meeting de-briefs, and staff on-call for any extra needs that might arise.”
Keranen says, “In addition to our superior services, the fact that we offer over 38,000 square feet, including three separate ballrooms ranging from 1,400 to 10,000 square feet, on two separate levels, is something our clients appreciate. We have enough space that no one feels crowded, or like their privacy is being invaded.”
For smaller events, the ballrooms can be broken down into smaller rooms, and five additional meeting rooms are available as well. Keranen says, “Crowne Plaza offers our guests the power of space. We have a tremendous capacity of space that we can maximize for our clients and create a personalized, private atmosphere at the same time.”
In addition to providing corporate clients the highest level of event management services, Crowne Plaza’s event management staff provides comprehensive wedding planning services. Its philosophy is that every bride is special, and every wedding is a unique event. The highest priority is to develop a truly personalized and memorable wedding for every single client. The Crowne Plaza event management staff achieves this through ongoing involvement with the brides-to-be, and ensuring that their wishes are fulfilled. The standard that the event management team sets for itself is to make every wedding the happiest day of a bride and groom’s life.
So, whether it’s a corporate convention for hundreds, a company meeting or party for office staff, a private family event, party with family and friends, or a wedding, big or small, Crowne Plaza’s power of space, commitment to superior event management service and attention to detail enables clients and guests to enjoy a memorable, stress-free and smoothly executed event.
Keranen says, “Crowne Plaza’s wide variety of amenities, the professionalism of our staff, and the convenience to key locations downtown offers our clients a top-notch solution for all their event needs large or small.” He adds, “With the Suite Deal that we’re offering, now is a great time to discover this.”
