Tour the halls of a beautiful event venue without ever stepping foot inside
360 Tour Toronto is helping Bellagio Boutique Event Venue connect with more potential clients than ever before
Every business faced its own unique challenges over the past two years, and the hospitality industry was certainly no exception.
As the Canadian-based company, Bellagio Boutique Event Venue found, almost all customers had begun doing event rental research entirely online, something that the company had never seen before. Suddenly, the team needed a way to virtually open the doors to their over 10,000 square feet of space — no matter where potential clients were located or when they were interested in touring.
We spoke with Demetri Kotiadis, Founder and Director of Operations at 360 Tour Toronto, to learn more about how his company worked with Bellagio Boutique Event Venue to capture the space in all its glory.
What inspired the 3D capture of this space?
Bellagio Boutique Event Venue, a newly renovated +10,000 square feet event space in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, was struggling to deal with one of the biggest shifts in the hospitality industry. With record numbers of people doing their event property rental search solely online, Bellagio knew they needed something more than still photography to showcase their space and differentiate itself from competitors and engage with clients in a completely new way.
To give potential clients a sense of actually being there, Bellagio turned to 360 Tour Toronto. Using Matterport’s innovative 3D capture technology, 360 Tour Toronto delivered an immersive brand experience that gives potential clients a new way to explore and engage with the space through an interactive 3D virtual tour that brings Bellagio’s event and meeting spaces to life while highlighting the facility’s state-of-the-art technology and venue capabilities.
Whether it’s for a wedding, gala, corporate event, or holiday, potential clients and event organizers can now experience Bellagios’ space from the comfort and safety of their own home and from any device.
Since taking their virtual tour live on their website, Bellagio has realized positive results with increased bookings and website engagement. Accurate and reliable, the Matterport 3D virtual tour has become a valuable and effective marketing tool for promoting Bellagio’s event space and expanding its digital reach.
What are the “must-sees” you want visitors to explore and why?
360 Tour Toronto captured the elegance and luxury of Bellagio while highlighting its fresh new look and modern upgrades. Bellagio plays host to some unique features and spaces, however our top 5 “must-sees” for the space would be:
The cutting-edge artificial sky located on the ceiling in the lobby.
The private bar and lounge located on the second level.
The expansive bridal salon located off of the main entrance.
The fiber optic star ceiling above both main-level bars.
The futuristic light panels found on the ceiling in the four corners of the main event space.
What’s the one thing you want visitors to take away after exploring your 3D tour?
We want visitors to be able to properly visualize the space for their next event regardless of the time or their location. A 3D virtual tour powered by Matterport conveniently and instantly provides clients with a real-life walkthrough experience that allows them to clearly visualize the space as a blank canvas in which they can create the ultimate event.
What are the benefits of Matterport digital twins?
Matterport digital twins further enhance the user experience by helping to provide a real sense of depth and scale. Long gone are the days of grabbing a tape measure and marking out table layouts with tape. With the ability to virtually arrange the space using measurements accurate to 1%, Bellagio clients, event organizers, and vendors have fallen in love with the ease and simplicity of the process, calling it both streamlined and efficient. They love being able to share their plans and ideas with friends, family, and guests to provide them with a tangible feel of the space.
