When looking for a venue for your next event there are multiple actors to consider.
Location
Of course, the location is one of the most important factors when choosing a venue. It should be somewhere that is easily accessible. If you will have out-of-town visitors, it should be located near other accommodations. This makes it easier to travel to and from the event. It is also important to consider traffic and even accessibility for people with mobility issues. When the location is centrical for everyone, you will rest assured that all of your invitees will attend.
Type of Event
This factor depends on what type of event you will be hosting. When your plans are something more team-building, you would probably want something more intimate so that everyone can get to know everybody better. If you are looking to express something congratulatory, find somewhere that has the space for everyone to be more together.
Layout
When you are hosting a corporate event, you might be looking for something with a larger room so that everyone feels part of the group. This is different when it comes to planning something where small groups might want to congregate apart from the rest. Most banquet halls can even help to accommodate separate areas for individual groups to form.
Food and Drink
This is very important. When there is nothing to eat or drink, you are more likely to have attendees leaving early or sneaking out for something else. Finding the right caterer for your corporate event is crucial. There should be a mix and variety of food selections for people with different dietary needs. Taking into consideration the size of your group will also give you an idea of bar options.
High-Tech
More often than not, you will be having some sort of presentation. This might require equipment rental depending on the size of your group. Lighting and even entertainment services like a DJ should be available to you. WI-FI is also a big player for your guests. This is especially true if it is a corporate event so that notes can be taken without the worry of signal or bandwidth.
Visit and Ask Questions
You should always get a personal feel for the location you are looking to rent. If you feel comfortable when you walk in the door, you might just have found the right place. Also, never be afraid to ask questions. There might be other benefits you might have not thought of. After all, they are knowledgeable about their locale and offer other services that might not be thought of at first.
