Signature Event Rental is a preferred Vendor for Illini Country Club, they continue to work together on a weekly basis. Signature helps in providing the items listed above, as well as making sure they are in great condition and delivered in a timely manner prior to the event. When talking with Sophia Beebe, Director of Sales and Marketing at Illini Country Club I asked, “What do you expect from us as a vendor or why do you think you can count on us?” She answered, “I have worked with Josh for several years now, I can always count on him to provide good quality products…we have maintained a good working relationship, which is why I would have no problem giving him a referral”

I believe it is very important for a venue to have a preferred vendor because of the relationship that is built. Illini Country Club has chosen Signature as a preferred vendor, which is very beneficial to both their venue and to their clients. In having a vendor for your venue, it eliminates multiple contacts, which can be nothing but confusing leading up to your big day.
