Villa Johtola in Rauma hosts meetings of 5 to 50 people, weddings of up to 60 guests and private celebrations in a former sawmill manager's residence.

Seminars and company events
The villa sells meeting packages built around a room, basic equipment and catering. The main hall seats up to 20 people at one long table and has a projector, a screen and plenty of daylight. The lecture hall, Erkkerisali, takes up to 40 people in theater seating, which suits lectures and panel discussions that need no tables. The Corner Office (Kulmakabinetti) is a small negotiation room with a TV for 8 people. An upstairs lounge has a negotiation table for 6 and a sofa group, and a ground-floor lounge with a fireplace gives space for breaks. Two smaller rooms can be used for group work.
Every meeting includes the room, basic equipment, Wi-Fi and coffee, tea, water, nuts and dried fruit throughout the day. Packages exist for a breakfast meeting, a half day, a full day and a meeting with dinner, and they can be adapted. A meeting day can be combined with dinner, sauna, activities or an overnight stay.
Weddings and receptions
The villa holds up to 60 wedding guests. The whole main building is used for the event. Speeches and toasts take place in the main hall, where a black grand piano allows background music or a live performance. The ground-floor lounge, with its fireplace, gives a quiet place to rest. The rooms upstairs are for the couple to prepare and dress before the reception. The garden suits ceremonies and photographs. For parties above 60 guests, the neighboring Tilausravintola Juhlahovi provides the catering.
