The right venue can make or break your event. Think about planning an elegant baby shower for your best friend with 50 of her favorite people, and you show up to the venue, and there are two tables and nowhere for gifts. Tragedies like this happen all the time because of lack of planning. Arguably, the most important element of your event is the venue. The right space, decor, lighting, and ambiance can take your event from a casual gathering of friends and family to a beautiful, stress-free celebration. If you’ve ever planned an event, you should know that choosing the right location is half the battle, and you truly can’t start planning the event itself without knowing where you’re holding it first. Let’s take a look at some of the things we recommend you consider when choosing your private event space.
Understanding Your Event Needs
First and foremost, you have to understand the purpose of your event. Are you holding a corporate event, family reunion, holiday party, retirement party, bridal shower, baby shower, or birthday party? Each event requires vastly different planning, materials, and considerations. Consider the specific requirements for your event. For example, if you are holding an end-of-year office party, you may want a table designated for awards
Venue Size and Layout
Size matters when it comes to event planning. The first question an event planner will ask you is how many people will be at your event. Every space is created with a different occupancy in mind. If you are holding a gathering with a small amount of people, a more intimate setting may be fitting Consider our Laylow speakeasy, made for 50 standing or 35 seated. If you have a larger guest list, consider Truckstop for a casual brunch, or Flamingo Deck for an instagram worthy bachelorette party.
Venue Availability
Of course, before anything, you must make sure that the event you are wanting is actually available. There’s use in planning an entire event in your dream space only to find out 3 weeks before that the space isn’t even available until next year! Plan ahead and book your venue early to ensure that you can reserve your dream space. Contact us today to learn more about our venues and our availabilities.
