Event Rooms Direct

It’s an all too familiar scenario. You’re a restaurateur whose establishment is booked solid every Saturday and Sunday evening for months in advance, but you just can’t seem to fill your party room on a Tuesday or Wednesday night.
Or maybe you’re a consumer planning a major milestone such as an anniversary or a wedding, and you need to find an affordable location that suits your needs close to home.
Event Rooms Direct, an innovative website founded by marketing professional and culinary industry veteran, Brad Nagy and Angelo Viscoso, simplifies booking a party rental or filling your vacant event space. Event Rooms Direct puts event planning at your fingertips, with detailed listings of more than 1,800 venues in Manhattan to choose from. We are in the process of adding venues in Queens, with plans to include establishments throughout the Tri-State area and other major metropolitan markets slated for the future, said Nagy.
The site is an essential tool for both consumers and service industry professionals, said Nagy.
“For consumers, they’re looking to save money,” he said. “(It) gives them that avenue to hold that holiday party, that wedding, in an affordable way.”
Event Rooms Direct provides detailed information on each venue listed, including parking availability, price range, capacity, cuisine type, amenities, hours of operation, availability of a separate bridal room and liquor options, said Nagy.
Another feature that sets Event Rooms Direct apart from other event planning sites is that it groups establishments, ranging from yachts and lofts to restaurants and museums, by neighborhood.
“What we’ve found, in terms of booking a party, is that it’s one of the few places that is broken down by neighborhood in a comprehensive way,” said Nagy.
This benefits culinary industry professionals by targeting qualified buyers looking to host an event in a specific neighborhood, said Nagy. By posting images in the online photo gallery, venue owners can showcase their establishment’s unique assets and amenities.
Business owners can maximize their marketing dollars by increasing online visibility through Event Rooms Direct’s strategic use of search engine optimization, trade publication marketing, and Google Ad Word campaigns.
Booking just one party rental through the site more than pays for the cost of the membership fee, said Nagy.
One of the latest key features for venues is that Event Rooms Direct offers the invaluable opportunity to promote specific dates they have available and offer special rates and promotions for those dates which will give them the edge for booking their space.
“Having that empty room is a missed opportunity to make money,” said Nagy.
Event Rooms Direct lets business owners fill those unavoidable, but costly, last-minute cancellations, and effectively extend their marketing dollars. Consumers gain more affordable options at their fingertips to make the most of their budgets when planning a memorable event.
