Jonathan Byrd's Event & Entertainment Named to Manage Centerpiece of Huge Amateur Athletic Complex near Indianapolis
Westfield, Indiana (PRWEB) April 27, 2016 -- Jonathan Byrd's Event & Entertainment, LLC today announced it entered a multi-year partnership with the City of Westfield, Indiana, to manage the commercial business and marketing of the Grand Park Events Center, set to open in July 2016.
Jonathan Byrd's Event & Entertainment will manage all aspects of the Grand Park Events Center business, including event scheduling, sponsorship coordination, consumer marketing, special event production, communications, activation logistics, account services and vendor procurement.
Grand Park Events Center is one of the centerpieces of the 400-acre Grand Park Sports Campus, located just 20 miles north of downtown Indianapolis. The facility will feature three full-sized indoor soccer fields, a restaurant and administrative offices. It also includes multi-use space for trade shows, live entertainment, conventions and special event programming, including large indoor sports events in the massive, 370,000 square-foot facility.
"Jonathan Byrd's Event & Entertainment is honored to extend Byrd Enterprises' commitment to the City of Westfield by managing the Grand Park Events Center," Byrd Enterprises, Inc. President Ginny Byrd said. "The facility is located within one of the largest amateur sporting complexes in the world and is a popular hub for family-friendly sports competition, entertainment and business activity for groups traveling to Westfield from across America."
Byrd Enterprises' portfolio of companies includes Jonathan Byrd's Hospitality and Restaurant Group, a 28-year-old, family-owned company that provides family dining experiences plus catering services. Byrd Enterprises announced in November 2015 the expansion of its business to include Jonathan Byrd's Event & Entertainment. The Byrd family's focus was to grow a new business and become a regional leader in event management by expanding pre-existing relationships in catering and hospitality.
The City of Westfield will continue to have a large role in the overall strategy for the Grand Park Events Center.
"This partnership with Jonathan Byrd's Event & Entertainment makes perfect sense for the Grand Park Events Center," Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said. "With their strong background in catering and large-scale events, they bring a wide range of expertise to the facility."
