🌟 Wisdom Wednesday with OVM: The Art of First Impressions at Events 🌟

Ever heard the saying, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression"? Well, in the world of Venue Management, that's our guiding star! At OVM, we believe the entrance to your event isn't just a doorway; it's the opening chapter of your story.

✨ Here are some tips we live by to make sure your event's first impression is both unforgettable and welcoming:

1. Lighting is Key: A well-lit entrance sets a warm, inviting tone. Whether it's elegant chandeliers or subtle LED lights, the right lighting can transform any space.

2. Signage with Style: Your event's signage isn't just informative; it's part of the decor! We blend functionality with creativity to guide your guests in style.

3. Theme Consistency: From the moment guests step in, the theme should be clear. We ensure every element, from the decor to the music, aligns seamlessly with your vision.

4. Personalized Welcome: Nothing beats a personal touch. Depending on the event, we love adding personalized elements at the entrance – it could be a welcome note, a custom sign, or even an interactive installation.

5. Floral and Plant Accents: Flowers and plant elements can transform an entrance from mundane to magnificent. We select pieces that complement the venue and elevate the overall ambiance.

Remember, the entrance sets the stage for the entire event experience. At OVM, we're dedicated to working with you to find the perfect vibe.

📆 Stay tuned for more tips from the team at Oakland Venue Management. And if you're looking to create an unforgettable event, we're just a message

Our Story

Oakland Venue Management was created during a time when our town had a recognizable need for professionally managed and operated venues for non-profit celebrations, community gatherings, and corporate conferences. Today, we are a project management company that offers administrative services to support client programming across a variety of industries.

The leadership of OVM remains dedicated to this company, putting every ounce of their daily energy into its success and the betterment of their community. Donating time, money and services to various projects, raising tens of thousands of dollars for local artists, and creating spaces for those artists to be seen, heard, and felt. We believe in supporting our local economy through arts activation and well-produced events for the public.

OUR EXPERTISE The past ten years have offered us several opportunities to develop marketing campaigns for various projects in Oakland. These opportunities have allowed us the opportunity to research, plan and execute initiatives, making us extremely knowledgeable about local and regional demographics, made us sensitive the conversations around displacement, fair housing and the pressures placed on our artist communities. Over the course of our career, we have remained dedicated to the betterment of Oakland, as such our connections to the Oakland community and the surrounding region are strong. Our vendor pool and industry connections position us incredibly well to execute any project and develop a foundation for a successful events program.
