With years of experience as a Director of Programmes in the world of Think Tanks, Nicole Rolet really is the ‘host with the most’ and is an event planning expert. Along with her incredible hospitality team at La Verriere, she has created bespoke events for government ministers, top CEOs and even royalty. The people at La Verriere certainly know a thing or two about putting on corporate getaways, weddings, conferences and meetings. Here are just a few of the ways in which hospitality at La Verriere goes beyond the normal boundaries.
Making it Personal
The most important thing about events at La Verriere is that they are beautifully bespoke, and are tailored to the needs of individual parties - whether it is an intimate setting for a private meeting or a conference requiring multiple rooms and different activities taking place simultaneously. Nicole and her team use their considerable experience and knowledge to put together programmes based on what guests are trying to achieve. Everything is organised with privacy and discretion and can allow for total disconnection from the outside world, or for up-to-the-minute connectivity if that’s what’s called for. Past events have been themed to surprise and inspire corporate teams and have included scavenger hunts, wine tasting, wine blending, getting involved in the harvest, fine dining, cookery classes and different types of team-building exercises.
Just the Right Spot
The setting for any event is crucial for creating the right atmosphere - the wrong location can completely drain the energy, whilst the right one can stimulate and energise attendees. It’s a huge benefit to have a combination of outside and inside working areas, as well as both modern and historical parts of the house. The team at La Verriere can help guests find the perfect location for every part of their event - whether that is inspiring conversations in a relaxed outdoor setting overlooking the stunning scenery, or getting down to serious business in one of the quiet meeting rooms where they won’t be disturbed or distracted.
Sensational Service
The best planning in the world would go to waste if the team at La Verriere couldn’t provide outstanding service to their visitors. Before guests arrive the team can assist with transfers, and put them in touch with other local organisers to help with excursions. Once guests are at La Verriere the team are on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly, with the aim of giving guests a truly memorable experience. Nothing is too much trouble.
