"meeting place" or "meeting venue"

Hi

I need to send a formal email to a group of three persons and I need your help with few points.

Q1: What opening salutation should be used? I don't like "Dear All".

Q2: Which phrase of the two is better and not very formal, "meeting place" or "meeting venue"?

Thank you for the guidance.

Thank you.

But problem is that they are not colleagues, friends, or clients. If it was a single person, I would have just said "Dear Mr. XYZ" but these are a set of three persons. I can't think of any proper salutation. Any ideas? Thanks.

There is no commonality among them?
Then the salutation should give their separate names:

Dear John Smith, Joseph King and Henry Higgins;
