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.
There are venues to suit every occasion and also every type of budget. From a town hall to a hotel ballroom to a barn, the list of ideas is endless! Many locations will come with packages, meaning that there are certain benefits included. Examples of this are catering or decor.
Packages with venues can help save a lot of money in the long run. Some venues have on site event planners, who can alleviate a lot of the work and responsibility in throwing a function. They generally keep organized and up to date with everything including vendors, arrival and setup. This allows the individuals throwing the event to actually be able to participate in the proceedings.
One of the best ways to transform a location is through use of decor. Many locations will have a specific decorator or two that they work with all the time. However, don't be afraid to ask if you can bring in your own person. Either way, once you have a clear idea of what you want the place to look like from the beginning, you can have a quality outcome. For starters, the reason for the function will always help in deciding on a theme, but even a color scheme can go a long way in final decisions on decor.
A good location for any function will also have suitable facilities for guests and vendors. For example, it's important to ensure that caterers are able to set up, store and serve in a well-lit spacious area, where noise of pots and pans or waste after plates have been cleared can be concealed from guests. A kitchen area would be most desirable for any catered event to allow items to be cooled or heated as necessary before serving.
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?
