For anyone searching for the perfect area event venue, the Chester County Conference and Visitors Bureau (CCCVB), in partnership with 2010 Solutions, has developed and released an online Meeting and Facilities Guide.

The Chester County Conference and Visitors Bureau (CCCVB) has announced an online Meeting and Facilities Guide.

Designed with the planner in mind, the online guide easily locates meeting sites, sports venues and even the ideal wedding location utilizing criteria and filters they wish to apply, according to a CCCVB press release.

Found on both BVFacilitesGuide.com and BrandywineValley.com through a link, the guide is an aid to the personal service the Visitors Bureau offers.

Greg Edevane, CCCVB’s director of sales, applauded the new program. “Whether we are in front of the customer at a trade show or the client is searching on their own, the site is user-friendly and features a clear view of all the wonderful facilities we have to offer, including a function to compare venue attributes,” Edevane said in the release.

Sales Manager Courtney Babcock concurred, noting that it aids in getting the customer engaged. “We offer personal assistance in event planning, and the Facilities Guide is a great way to get that first order of business done – secure the venue,” Babcock said in the release.

While the guide is marketed out of the region to attract business, locals are also encouraged to use BVFacilitiesGuide.com according to Susan Hamley, CCCVB’s executive director. “Our friends and neighbors here in Chester County need sites for weddings, showers, reunions and such,” she said in the release. “Many residents belong to associations or clubs that may meet locally at some point. All are welcome to use both this convenient guide and our friendly staff is always here to assist.”
