Planning checklist and recommended timeline
Start the conversation with Peppermill’s events team at least 6–12 months before your event for large conferences or peak-season weekends; smaller meetings can often be arranged on shorter notice. Confirm room-block pickup, AV needs, F&B minimums, shuttle timing and any signage or union requirements.
Because some resort amenities (spa facilities, pool access) have age policies or capacity rules, be clear about attendee mix and special needs when contracting services.
- 6–12 months: Reserve major ballrooms, guest room block, and AV production.
- 3–6 months: Finalize F&B menus, rooming list, and transport logistics (airport shuttle schedules).
- 30–90 days: Confirm final guarantees, seating charts, and spa/extra activities; arrange on-site contact and event-day timeline.
| Item | When to do it |
|---|---|
| Reserve ballroom and guest room block | 6–12 months |
| Finalize menus and AV | 3–6 months |
| Send final guest list/guarantee | 30–90 days |
On-the-ground tips for event-day operations
Use the hotel’s 24-hour front desk for last-minute guest issues and luggage storage. The front desk supports express check-in/out, which can help with large arrival windows.
Confirm where shuttle loading/unloading will occur (valet area outside the Hotel Lobby for airport shuttles). For trade shows or large freight deliveries, coordinate load-in times and staging with the events manager to access ballrooms and loading docks.
- Check-in begins at 3:00 PM; check-out is 11:00 AM—plan early arrivals or late departures with the events team.
- Guests checking in must be 21+ (or 18+ with active military ID) and provide government-issued photo ID.
- Resort Service Fee is mandatory—verify what it covers for your group and whether it will be billed to guest folios or master account.

|---|---|
| Room or AV issues | Resort events/AV team (ask for on-site technician) |
