```text
I'm hosting a [EVENT TYPE, e.g. one-day workshop] for about [GROUP SIZE, e.g. 25 people] on [EVENT DATE, e.g. a Saturday in May]. I need a venue in [YOUR AREA, e.g. within 30 minutes of downtown] with a budget of [VENUE BUDGET, e.g. up to $1,500]. Must-haves: [MUST HAVES, e.g. projector, parking, natural light].

Research at least 8 real venues, like hotels, coworking spaces, community centers and event rooms. Build a spreadsheet with: venue name, website, capacity, price or price range, what's included, parking and accessibility, catering rules, recent review highlights, and what the website doesn't say. Score each one from 1 to 10 for fit and explain the score in one line.

Recommend your top 3. For each, draft a short, friendly inquiry email asking about availability on my date, the full price and anything missing from their website. Don't contact anyone or book anything. I'll review and send the emails myself.
