Offsite training days

A day out of the office, with a valley to enjoy between sessions.

Four cities and three states are within a morning’s drive, and everyone is in the room by the time you start.

The room is set before you arrive

The indoor room takes tables in rows, with the screen and the sound set up and tested before anyone arrives. The equipment is ours, so there is no hire fee inside it. What you are paying for is the room arranged and tested before you walk in, and you choose it when you book.

There are large sliding barn doors at both ends. Closed, they darken the room enough to project in daylight. Open, the valley is back.

The rest of the day

Coffee, lunch and the gaps do not have to happen in the room everyone has been sitting in all morning. The pavilion is open-sided and the lawn runs out to the valley, and when the presentations are finished that is what everyone walks out into.

What everyone will need

Wifi throughout. Eight power outlets on the pavilion, one to a post. Parking on gravel for twenty cars, with more on the grass. Four restrooms: two on the pavilion, one on the veranda, one indoors.

Lunch

There is no kitchen, so tell your caterer to come ready and to bring ice. The staging area is on Design Your Event. When you book we send you the Eden Vaile Rolodex: the professionals we recommend.

What it costs

A weekday is the easiest date to book. What it costs turns on how many are coming and whether you want four hours or eight, and the room set up for presentations is priced separately. Every figure is on Design Your Event.

Questions people ask

Can you project in daylight?
Yes, in the indoor room, with the barn doors closed.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes. We can provide a certificate of insurance and a W-9 on request.
Is lunch included?
No. There is no kitchen here, so your caterer brings the day’s food ready to serve. We send you the Eden Vaile Rolodex when you book.
Do you have somewhere for people to stay?
No. This is a venue for the day, not a retreat center. There are inns, cabins and hotels within a few miles in every direction, and they are in the Eden Vaile Rolodex we send you when you book.
How early can we get in?
Your hours are the hours you book, plus an hour either side of a four-hour day and two either side of an eight, and our attendants are on duty for all of it. If you need the room the evening before, that is The Full Day at $600.
Can we run past six?
Yes. Every event ends at 10pm, and take-down runs to 11pm on a four-hour booking or to midnight on an eight.
