Planning a corporate event can be a challenge. There are so many details to consider, from technology to theme, attendees to amenities. To make it all easier, nail down your venue as soon as you can. Once the venue is established, you’ll be amazed at how easily everything else begins to fall into place. Here are some tips for taking that all-important first step of choosing your corporate event venue.
- Take your time looking at corporate event and retreat venues. Every corporate event, party, and meeting venue is not the same, and what’s perfect for one company may not be perfect for yours. Have a clear vision of what you want before you begin exploring your options, and ask questions of each venue manager to determine which space would best accommodate your needs. Take notes and spend some time comparing the venues side by side, to determine which features and layouts appeal to you. You may be surprised by new ideas that come to mind when you are more aware of the possibilities that are out there.
- Consider the cost when choosing between venues. This is a really easy way to narrow down a long list of venues. Establish your budget ahead of time, determining how much you want to spend on the venue and what you’ll spend on everything else. Knowledge is power, and when you have a clear picture in mind of what you want, you’ll be better able to negotiate and find the venue that’s right for your needs and budget.
- Location is an important factor when choosing a place to hold your event. The most spectacular venue on earth isn’t going to be optimal if it’s inconvenient for your attendees, so narrow down your general location early in the planning process. You’ll want it to be centrally located, with easy directions and ample parking.
- Discuss all the little details before you decide on a corporate event venue rental. What will you need from your venue in terms of staffing and additional help? Will you bring in your own caterer or do you need help securing one? Do you require a coat check? What do you need in terms of AV equipment and other technology to make your event a success? There are many moving parts involved in corporate event planning, but partnering with your venue to handle your precise needs will make you feel more confident that the event will be a smashing success.
