Planning Your Presentation

Step 1 – Venue Tour and Initial Event MeetingThe first step is to meet for a venue tour and to discuss your event requirements, as well as your rehearsal and performance schedule and anticipated attendance numbers. This gives us a sense of your vision and goals for the event, so we can offer innovative ideas and appropriate suggestions.

Step 2 – Event Proposal We use the information gathered in our tour and meeting to provide a proposal foryour event. We ensure that you receive a clear and detailed estimate for your planningand budgeting purposes. You will have the opportunity to review the proposal, and request additional items, shift the event schedule, and adjust equipment requirements.

At this time, we will confirm space availability for your preferred dates. We can also place a hold on a date for you. A hold in our calendar is not a confirmed event; if another group is interested in booking the held date, we will contact you. You have48 hours to reply and confirm or release your hold on the space.

Step 3 – Event ConfirmationWhen you have chosen your event date and space, we use the event proposal as the basis to develop your event contract and affiliated materials. We send that materialto you by email, and you have 14 days to review, sign, and return the material by mail,fax or in person. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required with the signed contract.

Step 4 – Event PlanningOnce your event is confirmed and contracted, we work closely with you on all thepreparations for your event at The Royal Conservatory.
