How to Choose a Great Venue for Your Next Event

Choosing the right venue is amongst the decisions that you will need to make to have an impact when organising an event.
Here are the points to consider when searching for a venue.

Accessibility

Nobody wants to spend hours travelling to a venue and for this reason alone, central areas are always popular choices for successful events. An accessible and convenient location always is paramount.

Budget

Have a plan with your team members and allocate a budget regarding venue hire, catering, entertainment etc. It’s better to choose the venue that is below your budget and spend the remainder on décor and in case of an emergency.

Capacity and Minimums

First, confirm the number of delegates expected to attend your event and plan accordingly.

Services and amenities

If you plan to serve tea, coffee or meals at your event, check that the venue is fully equipped to cater for food and beverages services and whether additional staff are required.
Besides, usually the food and drinks at the event are normally what most guests talk about after the event.

Date and time

Before choosing a venue, check that it is available on the dates and times you require and whether other functions, if held at the same venue, would disturb your event.

Layout

After finding your venue, plan on what type of activities are to be included in your event. Get an illustrated floor plan and walk through the guest entrance, making note of where the outlets are and where AV systems can be located.

Branding

Choose a venue that embodies your event and reflects the image of your brand. Consider the venue’s reputation, location, atmosphere, and decor.
