Don’t just take it from us, here’s what others had to say about their experience at the Venue Training Academy:
Being quite new to the industry as a whole, this was my first taste of marketing and events training – and it exceeded expectations! Not only were Lauren and Darcy engaging, knowledgeable and great presenters, the content we covered during the session had everyone feeling inspired. The intimacy of the group ensured people were comfortable to open up, leading to insightful conversations you don’t generally get into with your ‘competitors’. So many great ideas and standout moments that made me leave feeling ready to return to my workplace with confidence. I can’t wait to implement some of the techniques and processes we discussed.
Lauren and Darcy at the Venue Training Academy are amazing at what they do! Their knowledge is second to none, and they knew how to host a 6 hour conference and keep it engaging the whole time!
Loved being in a room with like minded people yesterday! Lauren was incredibly engaging and enthusiastic, and she created space for the group to dive deeper into topics as they naturally came up – even if it meant going off track. I walked away with so many practical ideas that we can easily implement into our day-to-day workflow to enhance how we sell weddings.
I absolutely loved the Venue Training Academy, Lauren was amazing and super engaging, I took away so many new ideas and tips of enhancing our sales process and was excited to share these with the team! We’ve already got the ball rolling on some of these.
This is excellent training if you would like to level up your processes and make new connections!
