When planning a party, the importance of finding the right party venue can’t be emphasized enough. It’s a critical aspect in determining the overall success of your party not only in style but also in your ability to enjoy it. You want to simply sit back and enjoy your party, so it’s up to the venue to make sure the service, the food and beverages, flowers, music and everything runs smoothly. To make your party venue selection faster & convenient, we have come up with the following tips.
Cost of the venue:
While you may wish to throw the most ellaborate party, you’d want to keep your venue cost to minimum. In most venues certain days of the week cost less. If you could be flexible with your party dates, this should be taken into account. Moreover, if you want to your event to be stress free and more affordable pick a venue that offers venue hire & catering in one package.
Location:
You have possibly already considered this. For a local event, you may be seeking a venue within a reasonable reach of most attendees’ homes or offices. If most of the attendees have to travel from out of town, a party venue close to the airport or their hotel will be helpful. In either case, don’t forget to take into account transportation, traffic, and parking options.
Size matters:
Bigger does not always mean better especially when it comes to choose a party venue. No doubt, renting a venue that will fit your whole group is critical – as you don’t wish your invitees feeling cramped & unable to move around the venue. Nonetheless, being in a venue that is simply too big can feel bare & too sparse! Sometimes when an event venue is too large, it can hinder the décor – ensure that when everything comes together it’ll look great & be functional for a party at the same time. If you’re integrating team building into the event, you might wish to check with your event planner prior to booking a venue to ensure there’s ample room for the activity.
Layout:
Does your selected venue provide different layout options? No two events are the same! So choose a venue that can cater for your unique styles & seating arrangements. Ask your venue if they can offer you with a floor plan keeping your event in mind.
