Pelican Sound Golf & River Club designed its club with two new “must-haves” that can both improve operations and increase marketability for corporate and social events. Audiovisual Equipment: To drum up more meeting business, the club equipped its private dining room with a drop-down screen and projector and concealed the AV equipment in armoires around the room. When people are dining, they cannot see the equipment, but the room can easily be turned into a fully-equipped meeting room. These changes have helped increased the club’s meeting business by 25 percent.

Dance Floor: Rather than using a temporary dance floor, the club added a wall-to-wall built-in dance floor in its main dining room to save time, labor and storage space. The dance floor breaks up the space and adds a decorative appeal in the room.
