The Challenge

Business Gaps

Before Creventa, event management at the Club was entirely manual. Tasks were tracked across multiple spreadsheets, which, while necessary, often placed a heavy burden on the team and clients. As a result, while the club consistently strived to maintain high standards, the process sometimes made it difficult to deliver the exceptional guest experience they are known for. The manual system was not only time-consuming and error-prone but also created risks in managing allergens and guest details – both critical to compliance and guest satisfaction. This meant that despite the team’s best efforts, it became challenging to maintain the seamless, top-tier service expected at each event.

“Before using Creventa, we did everything manually. It was all on spreadsheets and it left a lot of room for error. It was very time consuming… If anything didn’t align across the documents, mistakes could easily be made.”
