On and Off Property Themed Events
On-Property Themed Events
While there are some definite planning benefits to holding on-property events, 
they are still demanding and time-consuming, and can be an extreme draw on your personnel resources, which means an on-property event can be an extreme draw on your event budget resources. These difficulties are easily overcome, however, when you hire Kirkland Event & Destination Services to work as an extension of your existing staff to plan your on-property event.
Similar demands face individuals planning large-scale corporate events at your hotel, and for those, Kirkland Event & Destination Services stands ready to assist in (or completely design) on-property event planning, too.
Kirkland Event & Destination Services is here to support your staff (or yourself) in whatever capacity you deem most fitting; we can manage just the smaller, more trying event planning aspects, filling in the service gaps your staff finds challenging, or we can plan the entire on-property event from planning to completion and beyond, and you and your staff can act in the capacity of only a supervisory resource. In this instance you, or your designated staff members, retain all final-approval rights, with our Kirkland staff handling all the foot-work, management, contracting, planning, and implementation, all within the assigned on-property event budget.
When you choose to host your event on-site, on your property, you will enjoy the advantage of being intimately familiar with your property venue, forgoing the process of choosing the right location. 
On-property events can be more economical, too, foregoing the expense of venue reservation, leases, and rental fees. Regardless of these advantages, there is still a lot to be done to pull off a raging success of an on-property event, and this is where Kirkland Event & Destination Services excels. We are ready to manage or assist in managing all necessary aspects, including, and exceeding
- Negotiations with, contracting, and managing service providers (including all scheduling and service coordination)
- Rental of communications equipment to ease communication across large venues
- Arranging of multi-media equipment, installation, operation, and removal (and any associated services)
- Program and itinerary development (including printing services and distribution)
- Planning of any extra-curricular activities, such as on-site entertainment
You can count on Kirkland Event & Destination Services to manage all on-property event planning needs, with vigilant attention to detail and open communication, two fundamental keys to successful on-property events.
Off-Property Themed Events
Off-property events offer diversity and endless destination event location possibilities. Planning off-property events does present a unique set of challenges for individuals and companies; these are challenges that can be drastically reduced (as far down as approval-mode) by partnering with Kirkland Event & Destination Services, and allowing us to work for you, and with you, to plan and manage your off-property event.
We begin off-property event planning by helping you choose your destination event venue (unless, of course, you already have a location in mind). Researching, contacting, and choosing an off-property event venue is a highly time-consuming 
process, but we reduce your time and personnel expenditure down to virtually nothing by researching venues at your destination, checking availability, and then narrowing venues down by budget, capacity, service offerings, and any other specifications you communicate. What you get from us is a short-list of the best venue choices given your needs and specifications, and all the details you need to know to make the best decision for you.
Our destination event location searches are comprehensive; every single detailed aspect of your off-property event is accounted for before contracting with a venue.
Once you have chosen your target off-property event destination, we will handle all of contracting and negotiation. We will support you by managing every aspect of the deal in its entirety. This means that we will, if needed,
- Make all initial contact with the venue
- Negotiate rates and group/package deals
- Negotiate additional services as needed, such as hospitality, food, and beverage services
Part of what we consider when helping you choose an off-property event location is what is available in the immediate area and at the venue site to fulfill your needs for extra-curricular activities such as entertainment, team-building, tours and activities. Before you reserve a venue, we make sure you have access to enough resources to complete your off-property event itinerary.
Following venue contracting, we proceed as we do with all of our other destination and event planning options. We will handle every last detail for you, on-time and within budget, or we will fill in the gaps your staff does not manage themselves. To this end, we will provide every off-property event planning service you need; and we never consider our services complete until we have gotten the final word of satisfaction from you, after your successful off-property event.
Here at Kirkland Event & Destination Services, it never matters if you are planning a destination event here in the Palm Beach and South Florida area, or an exotic retreat around the world. We are well versed and knowledgeable in destination event locations everywhere; for those we've yet to discover, we have developed effective research techniques, and we look forward to partnering with you on new off-property event adventures.
