A Message from
Heather: Responding to Client Suggestions
At
Vie we’re lucky to have a great staff in place to help take care of the
many aspects of running Vie. That allows me to carve out time during
the week to focus on listening to and fulfilling client requests. In
this month’s newsletter you’ll find three new features spawned from
your suggestions.
Vie has been the venue of a number of great events in the past. We’ve hosted several open-houses showcasing art from the Washington Street Gallery, countless spa parties, birthdays, fund raising events, and even a local political event. After each of these, clients have asked whether they can reserve Vie for future events. Now you can. Moreover, Vie now provides a host of services from catering to valet parking to make your event one to remember. Visit our events page or read more below. We’ve also heard from clients that they’d like a way to introduce friends to Vie. Well, we can help with that. Through the end of November, please take advantage of our beautiful Gift-of-Health gift box. Just ask the receptionists and they’ll give you an elegantly wrapped box of goodies for your good friend. Finally, a number of clients have asked to be notified as the schedule is updated with new, exciting classes. Now you can add yourself to our Class Notification email list and get the latest information right away. Just visit our email list signup page here. We always want to be working on ways to make Vie better for you. If you have an idea on how to improve our services, or a special request, please email me at heather@viefit.com. I would love to hear from you! Heather Vie Now Available as Full-Service Event Space At
Vie we love a good party. Vie has been the perfect venue for cocktail
parties, charitable and corporate events, birthdays, spa parties and
more. Guests mingle from floor to floor, listen to live music upstairs,
or have a quieter conversation downstairs in the lounge. At our
clients’ request we are opening our space for event hosting and we are
taking care of the details. With our spacious architecture, art from
the Washington Street Gallery, friendly staff, unique classes and spa
services, Vie provides a vibrant and stimulating atmosphere for your
next event.
We’ll also take care of all of your event needs. Reserving Vie for an event includes a friendly bartender (hosts can bring their own wine), two attentive hosts/servers and full clean up. Other optional services include table set up for sit-down dining for up to 35 guests, flowers, live music, quality catering and valet parking. Our past parties have been lively, successful affairs. As the holidays approach, consider Vie when you’re planning your next event! Give a Friend a Gift of Health, Complimentary from Vie! Do you have a friend who wants to get fit but needs a little nudge? We have the perfect solution: a beautiful silver gift box containing a gift certificate for a complimentary personal training session at Vie. As a regular client, we invite you to take a box and give it to a friend who wants to get fit. The gift includes a fitness assessment, a gift certificate for a Spin class and personal training session with Heather. She will go over fitness goals and perform an assessment determining cardiovascular fitness, strength and flexibility. Heather will also create a recommended workout regimen based on their goals, and if interested, match them up with an appropriate trainer. This is a $75.00 value, and a great way to help a friend be on their way to a lifestyle of health and fitness. Please hurry to take advantage of this unique complimentary offer because it ends November 30. There is no obligation on the part of either you or your friend – just an opportunity to experience Vie! |
