Nothing Familiar
You definitely do not want to have the party at the office. This makes it harder for your employees to relax because they will still be thinking about work the whole time. The same is true even if the party is in the same general neighborhood as the office.
Centralized Location
Unless your party is themed and requires a specialized location, try and find somewhere that is easy for everyone to attend, That will ensure that more invitees will show up. It might actually promote carpooling. If it is too far away, people might not feel the trip is worth it,
Capacity
The banquet hall should be the right size for the group that will be attending. You definitely do not want everyone to feel too crowded (you might also be violating local laws according to capacity restrictions). If the location is too large, it might seem empty and guests might not mingle much with each other.
Amenities
Even if you are going to have some type of presentation, you should make sure that they can provide to correct equipment. This can include things like the correct lighting, sound system, projectors, and maybe even a podium. Most banquet halls will have equipment for rental. Although it is recommended not to talk too much shop unless it contains accolades for the employees.
Seating and Settings
Most banquet halls can provide seating and tables. If food is going to be served, make sure they can provide tableware. If you are going to separate areas, see if they also have more relaxing seating like couches and maybe high tables for stand-around gatherings.
