Seminars and company events
The resort has one conference room of 241 square meters with a capacity of up to 180 people. The site says it carries modern audiovisual equipment and the infrastructure for interpretation by wireless communication, and that services follow Brussels conference standards. It describes the room as suitable for all types of meetings.
Listed equipment includes video and data projectors, white board screens, display boards, flipcharts, laser pointers, lecterns, a microphone console, speakers, wireless microphones, air conditioning, sound proofing, blackout curtains and internet access. Secretarial and photocopying services are also named. A floor plan and photo gallery sit on the conference page.
Weddings and receptions
The Giannoulis group runs a weddings program across its hotels, with a coordinator and an in-house chef team that adapts the menu. Three packages are listed: Essential, Sensational and Glamorous. They cover the ceremony, decoration, a cake, a wedding coordinator and, in the higher tiers, photography, music and a hairdresser and make-up for the bride.
The hotels are on the beach, so ceremony and reception can take place on the sand with a view of the Aegean. The group also arranges village weddings around Chania, yacht ceremonies and themed weddings. The wedding page covers the group, not only this resort, so confirm what applies to Cavo Spada.
