Become a Partner
DINEvent's referral structure is simple. We refer clients to our Dining Partners; in exchange, we earn a 10% referral fee on the food, beverage and room rental subtotal sales generated from the lead.
Capture Clients
DINEvent seamlessly integrates with your event booking process, operating as an extension of your management team. You maintain continuous control of the booking process and have the ability to hand-pick your clients. Once selected, you work directly with the client to secure the booking via contract and deposit, finalize the menu and more.
Increase Revenue
DINEvent wants to partner with you to bring people together for extraordinary events. Much like a real estate agency, we match our clients (buyers) to event venues (sellers) that meet their capacity, budgetary and special event needs. As a Dining Partner, you are our preferred choice as we guide clients through the decision-making process. We work hard to build relationships with and garner the trust of our client decision makers; now, let us lead them to you.
