Function facilities are as varied as the companies that rely on them for hosting corporate events. Proper planning ensures a successful and memorable event. Be sure to keep the following items in mind when choosing where to host your next business function.

Location is of high importance. Attendees should be able to access the facility easily, so be aware of its proximity to major roads and highways. We are just 20 minutes away from downtown Boston and easily accessible from every major highway.

Parking will be an immediate concern upon arrival - as such, it is important to know whether the facility offers free, ample parking, or otherwise affordable parking options. Lombardo's offers plenty of free parking and a shuttle to the main door from your car.

Accommodations - Will people be arriving from faraway? If so, check on the availability of nearby hotel accommodations. Click here for a list of hotels located near Lombardo's, including The Holiday Inn, which shares a parking lot with our facility.

Business Needs - Just as important is the level of service to be found inside the facility itself. A basic checklist for corporate functions should include video conferencing capabilities, spacious, comfortable conference rooms and Internet access, all available at our facility.

Food Quality, Atmosphere, Service - Remember that food quality, stylish atmosphere and impeccable service are not exclusive to social events - you should make them work for your business functions as well.

Professionalism, Attention, Cleanliness - Don't forget that there are key elements of a facility that can often be overlooked until it is too late. Planners should research in advance the professionalism of the facility's staff, personalized attention and the cleanliness of the facility.

When planning corporate events, remember to stay informed and get creative! Consider places that are widely known for their social functions, and inquire as to their business function capabilities. You maybe pleasantly surprised to find that a place famous for lavish weddings, memorable parties and elegant proms can successfully meet all of your professional needs as well.
