Your first connection : Meet our Sales Team

Each of our sales team members have a select number of venues that they manage and a specific market. 

This makes them logistical experts when it comes to planning, understanding the needs of each venue and also the specific rules, policies and procedures of the particular venue. 

This provides the highest level of customer service for your clients, and also maintains a streamlined working relationship for our venue partners. It’s a win-win for everyone, benefiting our mutual clients.

 If you are unsure of who on our team manages a particular event venue, please feel free to contact sales@parkavecater.com, and we can connect you.
