If you have been given the task of choosing a venue for a celebration party, then don’t despair as there are simple steps that you need to consider that will help you to narrow down the selections. There are so many different venue options these days that it can be a bit of a daunting task, as the wedding and party business has really taken off over the last few years. Here are a few things to think about when looking at party venue hire:
Location – if you have a theme in mind that you probably already know what kind of location is going to fit that theme. For example, if you’re planning a countryside affair or a sophisticated black tie party, one will be rural and the other in a town or city. Think about where your guests will be travelling from as you will want it to be easy to get to and accessible. Your guests might be coming from all over the country so think about transport links as you don’t want people to drop out because they deem it too hard to get there.
Size – this is very important in helping to establish a good vibe at your party. Too big and your guests will be lost but too small and you’ll restrict movement as possibly the dancing too. Speaking to venues about your guest numbers will mean they should be able to offer advice as to the best rooms available for your needs. For Venue Hire Taunton, visit www.countygroundtaunton.co.uk
Pay a visit – a great way to get a feel for a venue is to ask to go and take a look. Atmosphere is a key ingredient to a party and you’ll want to be sure that your venue choice ticks all the boxes in that respect. Every room will have a different ambience and don’t hesitate to change your plans if you walk into the room and it just doesn’t feel right for your gathering.
What do I get? – some venues will only include room hire whereas others will supply you with everything you need for the perfect party. Some come with state of the art audio visual equipment and might even offer you a resident DJ. Most venues will have tables, chairs and all silverware included, especially if you are ordering food but if you’re looking for a self-catering venue then you may need to separately hire tables, chairs, tablecloths and cutlery and glassware. Make sure you’re clear on what is included in the price to avoid any last minute nasty surprises.
Research – try to find reviews of the venue from other people who have staged events there. Also, don’t forget to check the little details that can make or break the success of a party, such as is there accessible parking on site or will public transport be needed. Is there accommodation on site and if not, is there good quality accommodation close by? If you plan for before, during and after the party then everything should go smoothly and everyone will have a fantastic time.
