Organizing an event does not have to be tiresome. If you choose the right strategy and a checklist for everything, everything falls into the right place. Choosing the right event venue is one of the most crucial decisions that event planners or hosts need to make before planning the entire event. All decisions like event date, caterers, decorators, guests’ experiences, and others depend upon your event venue.
So, how should you choose the event venue that meets your requirements and is aligned with all other event aspects? That’s what we have listed in this blog.
How soon should you start your search?
The sooner, the better!
When you have a fair understanding of your budget, guest count, and event requirements, you should start looking for the venue. Under normal circumstances, you can begin your search 4-5 months before the event. It gives you enough time to plan other things.
Having said that, some events occur unexpectedly, where you do not have enough time for planning or finding the right venue. At that time, you only need to make the most of your time and look for the available places nearby and shortlist the best one.
Here is how you can refine your search for the perfect event venue?
Location
It is the first thing that you should consider. When organizing a local event, you should make sure to book a venue that is easily accessible to the majority of the guests. If you have guests traveling from out of town, you should consider a hotel with the availability of rooms for their stay. Moreover, you should also make sure that the venue is near the airport to avoid unnecessary travel for your out-of-town guests.
Capacity
Find out if the event venue has enough capacity to accommodate the decided number of guests/attendees of your event. If the hall is for 100 people and you have a guest count of 250 or more, you can easily strike it off your list.
Parking Space
Event spaces that have their parking space are always a big YES! When your guests struggle to park their vehicles on their arrival, you have ruined the first impression, and they will remain annoyed all the time. So, make sure that your event venue has ample parking space or a valet parking system to ensure a pleasant experience for your guests.
Catering
If your event venue also offers catering services, it makes event planning easier and simpler. When event venues take care of the food and beverage stations, it is one thing less on your plate. So, choose event venues that offer catering services, just like White Diamond Conference Center.
Services & Amenities
Evaluate each venue on your list on the basis of the number and quality of services. For example, you can see what kind of tables, linens, and stages they have and if they go with your event theme or not. You can also ask about the cleaning and setup crew and audio-video equipment in case of corporate events. White Diamond Conference Center is always ready with the best team and equipment for professional as well as personal events.
Customer Reviews
We highly recommend assessing each venue from the customer reviews. Sometimes, even the slightest information can be helpful in decision-making. So, open Google and start looking for venues on your list and find out what people have to say about it.
Bottomline
There are other factors too, but these are the most critical ones, and if you plan it the right way, you will be able to find the perfect venue for your event. If you need any help, the White Diamond CC team is always by your side.
