Choosing the perfect venue for your special event is no easy task, and there are a lot of factors to consider. No matter what your event is whether that be a wedding, a birthday party, a baby shower, etc., there are some things to look for when deciding on an event venue. Here are some tips for what to look for when choosing a location for your next event.

GUEST COUNT

If you have a good estimate of the number of guests that will be attending, you are ready to determine what kind of space you will need in your event venue. From party spaces for more intimate private events to banquet centers for large corporate functions, you’ll need to ask your venue what its max capacity is. Additionally, check what the parking situation is like. Will they have adequate parking for your event needs?

FOOD OPTIONS

Events usually serve food so once you decide if you need catering or you are doing your own food, make sure the event venue has accommodations ready. If the event is doing the foodservice, make sure to try it first as well.

NEARBY ACCOMMODATIONS

If you are hosting a huge event that will have people from out of town, it is important to choose a venue that has overnight accommodations nearby. For those out-of-town guests, the ability to stay overnight in comfort could be a crucial deciding factor if they can attend the event. You can do your own research or ask the event venue what locations are nearby and if they have any partnerships with them.

One of the most important aspects of choosing a venue is cost-efficiency. Make sure the venue offers price flexibility such as pricing tiers or packages. Your venue should reflect the event itself and your guest’s interests. For more information on a wonderful event venue, contact us at Jonathan’s Landing Golf Course.
