Hello,
Here is a breakdown of costs for the event.
Things learned:
Send Adam to go buy bagels and orange juice instead of what Marriott calls a continental breakfast.
Make sure the hotel is on the same page with us when they offer beverage service, but do it as a daytime service when it should have been night time.
My advice for those running events and new to things, beverage service and continental breakfast in this scenario kinda screwed us. I feel we were overcharged for what was provided.
Hotel assumed we wanted beverage service during the day for a night time event, sorry to the attendees who did not get to appreciate that amenity.
Other than that, everything was smooth and went as expected financially. Hindsight-wise, we know how not to lose money next time we run. Keep eyes out in the upcoming month.
Thank you,
