Project Details
We have worked with HelmsBriscoe on two substantial corporate events now and they are, without exception, resoundingly helpful and efficient.
Working with HelmsBriscoe was a great experience! They helped us find good options and then book the venue that worked best for our group. The HB team ensured we got favorable terms for our space and F&B needs. I would highly recommend working with them to make your venue booking space go more smoothly.
Working with HelmsBriscoe gives me the ability to work a little more stress free by taking away the need to try and source and compare prices, venues, and learn about others’ experiences. Our staff contact is quick and efficient and shares ideas on how to best create what I need within my budget.
NDRN would not be able to hold the number of on-site events it holds each year were it not for the support and counsel provided by HelmsBriscoe.
I cannot recommend HelmsBriscoe enough! Their professionalism is truly exceptional. They not only relieved the stress of finding the perfect venue, but also took the time to understand our unique needs and preferences. Their negotiating skills are top-notch, ensuring we get the best deal possible. What stands out the most is their unwavering commitment to putting our needs and satisfaction as a top priority. We are very grateful for their expertise and dedication.
I highly recommend every event planner use HelmsBriscoe to search, secure, and negotiate hotel/convention center contracts. They know so much about the industry and what is possible to ensure we are making the best decisions. HelmsBriscoe saves us lots of time and money. I remember the years we didn't know this service was available and how much work we had to put in at the beginning of the planning process. I will always utilize HelmsBriscoe's support for future events.
I love the ease of working with HelmsBriscoe! Having scouted locations in the past before I was informed about HB, I can tell you from experience that this makes our job so much easier when it comes to finding a suitable location, no matter the size of our event. This makes our job so much easier because, instead of spending time searching for locations, we can take the time to comb through the RFPs as they come in and focus on the details. This allows us to focus on the mission of our non-profit! Thank you for providing a streamlined process that saves us stress and valuable time!
HelmsBriscoe is a god send for low-budget nonprofit organizations such as ourselves. From connecting with local CVBs for the site visit, creating and amending detailed RFPs, and working with us when hotel management wasn't up to expectation—taking the matter into their own hands and getting the necessary results—it was so beneficial to have someone by our side fighting for our end result like it was their own.
I always receive exceptional service from HelmsBriscoe. We have planned many sales meetings over the years, and I will continue to work with the company for all my future events!
