The Hotel Chalet’s Post

Brontosaurus Wedding: “Want to get married under a giant extinct lizard skeleton?” ”I thought you’d never ask.” Exhibition halls and rotundas can make excellent event spaces. We need rentals. Without them, our financial health has one less thing to rely on. In convention centers, generic is the norm: flexible for any purpose. But in museums, that doesn’t necessarily apply. A museum is specific by nature. That’s exactly why someone might host an event in one. Yet, during master planning for new museums, it’s common for museum leaders to suggest a neutral event space. Even when a brontosaurus in that rotunda is a better idea. Why so? It’s rare. There are countless venues. But hardly any with brontosauri in them. It’s memorable. Events are about logistics — until after. Then they’re about how people remember them. Towering extinct lizards: hard to forget. It’s an icebreaker. Most event guests don’t know each other. A majestic fossilized carcass is a sure-fire conversation starter. It’s decor. Event planners won’t have to come up with a theme. We’ll go with “Brontosaurus”. Here’s the thing: Your museum is unique, rare, and memorable. Your rental spaces probably should be too. Warmly, Jonathan P.S.

🎯 5 Essential Tips for Choosing the Perfect Event Venue Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, or special celebration, choosing the right venue is crucial for a seamless experience. Here are 5 key factors to consider before making your decision: ✅ 1. The Right Atmosphere Sets the Tone The venue should align with your event’s style. Looking for a sophisticated setting? A modern space might be the best fit. Prefer a more intimate experience? Open-air venues create a warm and inviting ambiance. ✅ 2. Visit the Venue at the Right Time Lighting, weather, and overall ambiance can change depending on the time of day. If possible, visit the venue at the same time as your event to avoid unexpected surprises. ✅ 3. Capacity & Guest Comfort Matter Your venue should be spacious enough for guests to feel comfortable. A small space can feel overcrowded, while a large venue can lose the sense of intimacy. ✅ 4. Logistics & Accessibility Are Key Make sure the venue has parking, is accessible for all guests, and has contingency plans for unexpected weather. These details can significantly impact the overall experience. ✅ 5. Services & Extra Costs: What’s Included? Some venues offer all-inclusive packages with catering, décor, and furniture, while others require external vendors. Knowing what’s included helps avoid unexpected costs. 📌 Bonus Tip: Choosing a venue with event experience can provide greater peace of mind and support throughout the planning process. 💬 What’s the most important factor for you when selecting an event venue?

How to provide luxury mobile toilet service for wedding I want to share with you a very interesting event rental idea. I recently entered into a partnership with a company that specializes in making mobile trailers. My company is now in charge of all their websites and marketing. I won't mention the name of the company in case you think it's a sales pitch. My purpose in sharing this post is to introduce a new business idea, not to sell a product. Once, they provided a luxury mobile bathroom trailer for a newlywed couple's outdoor wedding. One of the biggest problems for brides and grooms at outdoor weddings is the lack of sanitation. The trailer solves this problem by providing clean, comfortable and luxurious toilets. It not only provides timely shipping and setup services, but also ensures a seamless experience on the wedding day. Clients say that their guests are pleasantly surprised and satisfied with this luxurious facility. These trailers are primarily used for events, weddings, or long-term needs (for example, when a company is renovating an office but still needs to provide bathrooms for customers or employees). These new trailers are likely to sell for around $1w. However, this is not a "cheap" startup idea. These trailers can have two, three, four, five or even more parking Spaces. Average rentals range from $1,200 - $2,000, depending on the size and style of trailer. These trailers are usually equipped with heating, air conditioning and running water. As the operator of a trailer rental business, you need to transport and set up the trailer, connect the power, start the generator, connect the water source or fill the tank before delivery. After the event, the trailer will also need to be taken to the septic tank or sewage pump service for pumping and cleaning of the toilet area. Because of the targeted nature of this service, the clients I work with have easy access to both potential and actual customers. While there are a few large regional or national competitors in the market, people generally prefer to work with local businesses so they know who they are dealing with and who to turn to if there is a problem. I think this is a very interesting business concept, so I want to share it with you. Thank you all!
