Venue Owner ROI

Offering a ‘million-dollar guarantee’ shows that our model is innovative, sustainable, and proven. If you're a venue owner, or part of a venue management group, we can offer you a decade of guaranteed income by joining our lineup of top-tier event venues across the U.S. We can step in to operate your facility and to put an extra $1,000,000 in your pocket over the next ten years.

 

We all know; the Wedding and Special Events market becomes more competitive and challenging each year. It's harder for an individual event venue to stand out from the crowd. At the same time, the costs of doing business continue to rise.

 

A partnership with Wedgewood Events offers a better way to do business. We bring proven expertise to the wedding and event industry, helping many venue owners and management groups looking for a turnkey solution to maximize facility revenue. We’re proud to have the infrastructure, expertise, and marketing power to generate demand and secure high revenue events.

 

AN ESTABLISHED BRAND

With decades of corporate and social event experience and marketing power, Wedgewood Weddings & Events provides a name and reputation that people trust.

OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE

We host thousands of large-scale events each year. From menu design and bulk purchasing to a branded step-by-step planning binder, we have perfected the process of planning and executing weddings and every type of event.
Our event fulfillment and client satisfaction levels set the standard.

We’re enthusiastic about chatting with every type of event owner and management group. Broadly, the venues we manage fall into three groups: privately owned locations, free-standing venues, and municipally managed facilities. The venues we partner with are of every age and style, and they're a mix of indoor and outdoor options geographically dispersed across the county.

We’re always looking for venues that will work well with our existing facilities while also offering our clients what they desire. Whether your venue is historic, rustic, contemporary, classic, or avant-garde – we would be happy to chat about your long-term vision. 

 

Privately Owned Event Locations

Privately owned event locations face the challenges of rising costs and an increasingly competitive golf market. By outsourcing their food and beverage operations, our private owners and partners can rely on guaranteed income from food and beverage so that they can focus on increasing rounds and improving course conditions.

 

Starting in 2011, Wedgewood Events added free-standing event facility management to its portfolio. Wedgewood Events offers these locations’ extensive marketing exposure - including online promotion to boost visitor numbers. This would be difficult and expensive for an individual location to achieve on their own. Wedgewood Events’ sales and marketing expertise and unique wedding packages have helped increase both the number of events and the revenue per event at each of these facilities. Additionally, Wedgewood Events’ operational economies of scale reduce costs resulting in increased profits. This model has proven so successful that Wedgewood Events is open to the outright purchase of free-standing event venues in addition to partnerships and leases.

 

Municipal locations face a unique set of operational challenges. Along with the typical pressures that come with running a successful business, managers have to work with multiple stakeholders, particularly the community itself. We have a proven track record of long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with municipalities.

There are several options for a management agreement, including outright purchase and lease of the premises, partial lease, joint venture, or management contract. Each agreement is unique. We can assess your operation and demonstrate how you and your venue would benefit from a partnership with Wedgewood Events.

 

We're recognized as the leading event and banquet operator across the U.S. We have a record of exceptional success at venues nationwide. Realizing full profitability can be achieved within thirty-six months of transitioning your operation. Our success is founded on our trademark ValSerVenience – Excellent Value, Terrific Service, and Exceptional Convenience.

Over three decades, our Z-Golf and Wedgewood Events team has perfected a formula that provides excellent service to a broad range of event and banquet clientele, while delivering a strong financial return. In early 2001, we began a successful growth program to expand our operations. The first new ventures were facilities that had previously been losing more than $100,000 per year. When we revolutionized the approach to F&B and events at these venues, everything changed! Within two years they were generating $300,000+ per year in profit. 

Having proven the concept, Prospect Partners of Chicago purchased an equity position in Z-Golf and Wedgewood Events in 2014, allowing for even further development.
