Taking the “Bull” out of Booking Events, imbookin.com Debuts as the Internet’s Most Comprehensive Venue Booking Site
Event planners, hosts, and hostesses love imbookin.com’s rapidly growing database of 10,000+ venue choices and thousands of event packages. Venue managers love that the site is a free tool to promote and manage their event space and packages (dinners, drinks, rentals, etc.) to those eager to book.
NEW YORK, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — The dinner party you are planning for 40 of your closest friends is fast approaching, but you still don’t know where you are going to host it. Time is running out and you need to send the invitations but you are waiting to hear back from five venues in which you are interested. The pressure to choose a location is mounting. Pricing and availability are your key decision criteria, but most importantly, you need to book now!
You’re in luck. Your dream of a Web site where you can get venue pricing and availability and book your event online, including booking special packages such as dinners and open bars, has come true. Imbookin.com, a new and free online tool for anyone booking or promoting all types of event spaces, is the most trusted source for finding unique venues to host a birthday, wedding, reception, office get-together, shower, or most any event that needs a space. The site is free to sign up and an easy-to-use resource for all types of venues that want to promote and manage their event spaces and packages to a global audience.
Imbookin’s goal is simple: Connect people that are selling event spaces with those who need a space, and help all involved to do so easily. “It may be a rooftop deck, country lodge, local bar, city zoo, art gallery, or top-rated restaurant, imbookin.com and our partners make it easy to find, price and book your event,” said Josh Gooch, CEO of imbookin.com.
Event planners, hosts, and hostesses can sign up at imbookin.com to book events. Venue managers can also sign up to sell their space. Searches on imbookin.com can be filtered by date, budget, guest count, location, privacy, amenities, age group, and keywords.
A unique feature on imbookin.com is the ability to create an event based on packages offered by the venue. Working like an “event cart,” hosts can search for venues that accommodate multiple packages (open bar, cash bar, minimum spend, dinner, appetizers, and more) to create their perfect event. For example, you’re planning an event and want an open bar from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. and dinner from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. Both packages can be priced, time selected, and then added to your “Event Cart.”
Features in development for imbookin.com include map-based searches, videos, user profiles and reviews, and a “special offers” engine for venues.
Imbookin.com is available nationwide with a focus in New York City. Over the next two years the company plans to roll out platforms for Washington, D.C.; Boston; Chicago; Miami; San Diego; Los Angeles; San Francisco; and Seattle, among other U.S. cities.

Walking in through the sizable wooden doors on West 34th street between 8th and 9th avenue you immediately enter the foyer of Zanger Hall. Hanging from the 15 foot ceilings in the foyer are twin crystal chandeliers which illuminate the marble floors. Within the foyer you will also find three individual co-ed restrooms. Stepping through the lobby and into the multi-purpose room of Zanger Hall you will notice six additional crystal chandeliers matching the previous two and also hanging from 15 foot ceilings. Drawing your attention next is the moderately sized stage positioned at the far end of the multi-purpose room and is an added perk commonly used for smaller music performances, lectures, and continuing education seminars. Entrance level and lined with hardwood floors through out, the multi-purpose room of Zanger Hall is just that, available for multiple different events. Usually considered as a ball room or social hall the event possibilities are endless, ranging from sample sales, fashion and art showings, corporate events or private parties. Able to accommodate 200 guests seated and 300 standing, Zanger Hall is extremely flexible with most any set-up and decorations needed. Available for all events are Gold chivary chairs and/or classic white fold up chairs as well as round or rectangular tables. The dedicated event staff is available to help with any type of recommendation. The gold draperies hanging from ceiling to floor and the stain glass window are the finishing touches giving the space a truly elegant feel.
