Are catering and AV included in university & college rentals quotes?
It varies. Some Orono university & college rentals bundle in-house catering, AV, and event staff into the rental. Others operate venue-only and let you bring preferred vendors. Each listing notes its model when claimed; for un-claimed listings, ask in your quote and venues will detail what's included.

Guide How to Book a University Venue for a Corporate Event
University event spaces offer subsidized rates and high-quality facilities, but academic-calendar blackouts, alumni affiliation requirements, limited AV infrastructure, and catering exclusives with food service contractors create constraints that require more lead time than most planners expect.
Guide University Venue vs Conference Center for a Multi-Day Training Program
University spaces offer subsidized rates but have academic-calendar blackouts and AV limitations that purpose-built conference centers resolve. Specific cost and restriction tradeoffs.
Compensation committee offsite: discretion is the whole brief
A compensation committee sets CEO pay and reviews named executive figures, so a leak from the room is a proxy-season problem, not an awkward moment. Here's how I book these when discretion is the entire assignment, from a quiet arrival to the private dinner to the clause I insist on.
New-hire onboarding week: five days, one room, sane catering
A five-day onboarding week is the one booking where the same room every day is a feature, not a compromise. Lock one space, negotiate a multi-day rate, and fix the catering so nobody's eating hotel sandwiches by Wednesday. Here's the money math.
The breakout room that shared a wall with the general session
The floor plan looked clean. What it did not show was that the policy roundtable sat one folding partition away from a 500-person general session with a live band. Here is what went wrong, what I did at 9:50am, and the site-visit habit I never skip now.
