  • Deciding upon the best event space or venue is
    critical to your event's overall success. While
    venue planning takes time, it doesn't have to
    feel overwhelming. For many, professional event
    planners and amateurs alike, it can actually be a
    fun challenge.
  • Assuming that you have already identified the
    type of event you are planning and its purpose,
    there are many other factors must be considered
    as you begin the process of selecting the venue
    itself.

Identify Your Target Audience and Know Your Guest
List
  • When venue planning for an event, one of the most
    important pieces of information you must know is
    who your guests will be and how many you expect
    to attend. While the type of event will certainly
    inform the venue choice, one of the largest
    limiting factors for an event space is its
    capacity. Make sure that you know at least an
    accurate estimate (it can be a range) of
    the number of guests as this will immediate limit
    your venue options. You should also consider your
    audience. Be sure that the venue reflects not
    only the event itself but the guests' tastes and
    expectations.

4
Identify Event Dates
  • Check your calendar because timing will influence
    many decisions, including your venue of choice.
    After your guest list, the date of your event
    will be the next limiting factor.
  • Depending on what type of event you are planning,
    you may find that you either have to be flexible
    with your event date to get the venue you want or
    you will have to be flexible with your venue
    choice in order to get the date you want. You
    should begin venue planning knowing where you or
    the client are flexible.
  • Here are some questions to consider
  • When are your guests most likely available to
    attend based on their schedules?
  • What venues have appropriate and available space
    for those times?
  • When is the best time for your management team to
    hold the event?

5
Calculate Your Budget
  • With an open-ended budget, anyone can plan a
    great event and have an infinite selection of
    venue choices. But more than likely,
    your financial resources are limited and you
    should be aware from the beginning of what your
    financial limitations are - even if your event
    budget is simple a ballpark estimate or range. An
    event planner can always plan a great event
    within a reasonable budget.
  • Do the venues fall within your budget parameters
    for space, technical and catering expenses?
  • Have you negotiated a favorable rate for services
    and demonstrated the value of your role?
  • Have you allowed flexibility in your budget in
    case line item expenses exceed the plan?

6
Scope Out Different Locations
  • Once the guest list numbers and possible event
    dates are narrowed, it's important to identify
    the locations where the event could be held.
    Hotels and event or conference centers are some
    of the most popular event spaces for corporate
    events and wedding receptions, but they are not
    the only options.
  • This is a time to be creative in your thinking.
    Consider the following
  • Based on the theme of your meeting, what three
    best locations come to mind?
  • Where would your guests prefer to attend this
    meeting?
  • What will be most convenient for your guests?
  • Other than a hotel, what unexpected locations
    could increase the RSVP rate?

7
Find the Right Type of Event Space
  • The venue you choose must have an appropriate
    space for the type of event you are planning.
    Will your event require a dance floor? Will you
    need a PA system? What about a speaker's podium
    or a projector screen? What sort of table setup
    do you need? In addition to considering these
    sorts of questions, here are some of the top
    venue planning questions to ask yourself
  • Does the event venue meet the special criteria of
    your program or event?
  • Can the venue accommodate your production,
    entertainment, A/V, sound, and other technical
    needs?
  • Does the condition of the facility reflect the
    high standards of your organization?

8
Consider Venue Services and Restrictions
  • In addition to finding the right type of event
    space, you will want to look into the types of
    other services offered by the venue and decide
    their value to your event. Some venues will also
    have a preferred vendor list from which you must
    work to find vendors or suppliers for other
    services. Other venues have restrictions on decor
    or other aspects on the event itself. Some
    questions to ask include
  • Does this venue offer good parking options or
    valet?
  • Does this venue offer security?
  • Does this venue offer additional services like
    catering, floral arrangements, linen and table
    rentals, etc.?
  • Does this venue have a setup and clean up crew?
  • Does this venue restrict what other vendors you
    work with?
  • Does this venue have food and beverage minimums?

9
Consider Venue Reputation
  • A venue's reputation for service is critical.
    This is often the difference between holding a
    good event and producing a great event. The way a
    venue manages its facilities, staff, and clients
    will always be remembered. To get a sense for a
    venue's reputation value, consider these
    questions
  • What is the tenure of the conference manager,
    catering manager, or executive chef?
  • Will the management treat you like a VIP client
    or just as one of multiple programs?
  • How much flexibility is the venue willing to
    extend to you?
  • Do they have testimonials or reviews available?
  • Does the venue offer photographs from events
    similar to yours?

10
Schedule a Venue Visit
  • Unless logistics and time absolutely prevent it,
    every event planner should conduct a site
    inspection before contracting any venue. Pictures
    can be extremely helpful, but there are many
    aspects that can only be evaluated in person. Ask
    for a tour of the venue including everything from
    the parking to the entrance and the event space
    to the bathrooms. You'll be glad you did!
