Quark Expeditions summer transfers for past 10 years. So pleased with VENUES, they referred us to Lindblad Travel who manage the National Geographic Arctic Expedition Ships.
"Venues has been Quark Expeditions representative in Ottawa for the past 10 years. Venues presence is vital to our Arctic operations as they are responsible for all our incoming / outbound group transfers to/from hotel for the charter flights, making sure all passengers are accounted for and tracking lost or delayed luggage. The weather in the Canadian Arctic is unpredictable even during the summer months and in the event that the charter flights are delayed, Venues is on the spot to take care of our passengers."

6th National Conference on Tobacco or Health, Montreal, November 1-4, 2009
"I worked with Venues to plan and organize an EXPO space for a national conference ... I really enjoyed working with Grace Vale and Darlene Kelly-Stewart [and] was very impressed by the creativity and energy they devoted to this assignment.
As well, I worked with VENUES to hold an off-site event in Old Montreal. Venues was flexible enough to consider all options [and] respect my budget parameters. Delegates had a great time kicking up their heels at St. Paul Pub in Old Montreal with traditional French-Canadian music and a popular Montreal dance band.
The conference was an overwhelming success. Thanks to VENUES for its vision and professionalism while meeting client expectations and budget! Look forward to working with you again.

Hotel site selection , Conferences in Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary.
"VENUES has been a part of Infosilem's corporate event-planning for the last 6 years, and has been our hotel site selection agent since 2006. The professional VENUES staff have simplified and streamlined our planning process by providing the site expertise and experience that we need. Our event attendees have been very pleased with the sites chosen and I have appreciated the legwork and input that Grace and her staff provide. VENUES has negotiated great rates and has been there to provide advice to me every step of the way. Happy clients = successful event = satisfied VENUES' customer!

Canlyte hired Venues to plan the client
event for the expansion of the Cornwall Manufacturing
Facility as well as a Gala Dinner at the Best Western
Conference Hotel in April 2005.
"We
worked with VENUES on our
plant expansion celebration and VIP distributor events. Venues
provided recommendations on outstanding entertainment, event
logistics and 'flow'. VENUES'
presence at the events ensured that all details were handled
professionally, alleviating the stress from our staff. Both
events were extremely successful, as we have received many accolades
from our participants."
