Why Every Wedding Venue needs a 3D Virtual Tour in 2025
Have you ever found yourself stretched way too thin? With responsibilities at home, at business, trying to fit 30 hours’ worth of work into a 24 hour day? We’ve all been there and delegating tasks is one of the hardest things a business owner has to face. What if I can do it better? Who cares if it takes more time? This is going to be more important. Whatever the problems you may face, as an operator/owner/manager of a wedding venue promoting yourself and getting couples to tour your location is one of the most important and time-consuming parts of your day.
What if you find yourself overbooked and have to rush through tours? Or a potentially huge client is very particular about when they can actually come and visit the location? These are all very good problems to have but it still requires you to work around these issues. What’s the next logical choice? “Check out our gallery on our website!” you exclaim. Knowing your “gallery” is a collection of about a half a dozen photos of some generic vistas and not doing that good of a job of showcasing your amazing location. This is where 3D immersive Virtual Tours come in.
Immersive Experience
A 3D virtual tour allows potential business to navigate the venue as if they were physically in the room, giving them a true sense of the space’s layout, proportions and ambiance. A couple can tour at their hearts content, as many times as they’d like and give themselves the experience and know what it’s like to be on top of that balcony smiling and waving or what the crowd will see when they see you coming down that staircase.
Expanded Reach and Accessibility
Your venue is good enough to travel for, we all know that, but how can you prove it? With virtual tours, your reach can expand across continents if it needs to. All one needs is an internet connection and they can put themselves in the room with you. You can plan out what goes where not because someone of the phone is describing it to you, but because the couple is on their phone looking at that same stage as you are.
Enhanced Transparence and Trust
“It looked bigger in the picture” is the verbal gut punch no one wants to hear. You could have been the most upfront human alive but if the client is on their phone half the time when you are speaking and barely listening to you, there’s not much that can be done when they “forgot” the dimensions that you told them the dance floor would be or that those photos they saw of your venue were from before the remodel so they are in for an unwelcome surprise when they walk into the building. Whatever the case, 3D virtual tours offer complete transparency about features, layouts and aesthetics. This can help you build trust with your clients as they know exactly what to expect when they walk through those doors.
Time & Cost Efficiency
We mentioned earlier, what happens when you are spread too thin. A tour could take up to an hour or more of your precious time. Maybe the client is just browsing and not ready to commit, understandable but how many emails are piling up? How many voicemails are being left? These are things that you as the owner/operator have to worry about. What if you could have that time back? What if you could weed out the ones that ultimately, were going to just waste your time. Let them find out through your virtual tours, that they aren’t going to be a good fit. This can help ensure that you are going to be dealing with serious inquirers.
Stand Out From Competition
This is a market that relies on traditional photos or videos. Stand out, show your clients that you are a company that embraces advanced technology and is committed to providing and exception customer experience. Use that tech to incorporate clickable features like “Hot Spots” embedded information and customizable views.
