The Importance Of Choosing A Great Event Venue

By Nancy Gardner


It takes a lot of work and preparation to be able to host a successful event. No matter what type of function someone is hosting, the event venue is an important factor in the final outcome. In fact, choosing a location for the function should be one of the first items on the to-do list. A location should be booked and secured first and foremost.

A really good function location will do everything to make a great atmosphere for the occasion. Locations can be transformed in hundreds of ways to suit whatever theme your heart desires. Venues can be used for pretty much anything, from a wedding to a reunion to a simple dinner or business conference. The same location can be turned into something different every time.

Venues are also available to match whatever budget has been approved for the event. Town halls, hotel ballrooms and even barns are on the list of places to consider hiring. Popular locations may come with a selection of package deals for the client, which will include various benefits, such as decor or catering.

A package deal is a good way for you to save some dollars and keep within your budget. A place that offer an event planner can be of huge help. Event planners associated with the location can be super organized in keeping vendors and guests organized, particularly for arrival and setup of the event. This means that you as an organizer are able to enjoy more on the day without having to run around getting things done during the celebrations.

Decor is one of the key aspects to transforming any location. Some locations will have a roster of people they like to work with. Alternatively, the organizer may choose to bring in his or her own decorator. Either way, a great way to ensure quality work is to have an idea in mind from the start. Of course, the reason for the function will play a part, but there may be an additional theme or color scheme that helps guide the overall effect of the decor.

Facilities at the venue are key, particularly for vendors but also for guests. For any function with food and drink, especially food, caterers will need a designated area to set up and keep food stored at the right temperatures until it's time to serve guests. They should also be at a good enough distance from guests so that noise, smells and any evidence of waste is reduced.

Toilets are also very important when choosing a location. Are there appropriate facilities at the location or will it be necessary to bring in portable toilets? Are there enough toilets to accommodate the guest total? Are the toilets good enough for the level of the function?

You should always keep the cost in mind when deciding on a location. Is the cost of the location worth it for the amount of space you are getting? Will that space accommodate everybody on your guest list? What about if there are any special areas designated for overnight guests, such as a bride and groom after the reception?
