Finding the perfect venue can make or break your event. Whether you're planning a corporate meeting, private dinner, or conference, the right setting sets the tone. Here are five key tips to help you choose the best venue:
1. Know Your Guest Count
Before anything else, determine how many guests you’ll invite. Venues have strict capacity limits, and you want to ensure your guests are comfortable—not crammed or lost in too much space.
2. Prioritise Location and Accessibility
Choose a venue that’s easy to reach. Consider transportation options, parking availability, and proximity to airports or hotels, especially for out-of-town guests.
3. Stick to Your Budget
It’s easy to fall in love with a dream location, but it needs to work financially. Factor in not just the rental fee, but additional costs like catering, overtime charges, and equipment rental.
4. Understand the Venue’s Amenities
Some venues come with built-in perks: tables, chairs, AV equipment etc. Others may require you to bring everything in. Know what’s included to avoid unexpected costs.
5. See it in Person (If You Can)
Photos can be deceiving. Going on site visits allows you to get a feel for the space, check acoustics, lighting, and see how your event vision could come to life.
