Top Tips #3
Considerations when choosing your venue
• It could be any kind of event – conference, meeting, team party, anything
you like but you must have decided what your event is going to be before
you start to look at places to host it.
• Don’t organise an event around a venue, even an unusual venue. You need
to understand your event first and what it is you want from it.
• Have an idea of your budget.
• Know the date you’d like to host your event, the day of the week or at
minimum the month of your event.
• It would help to know your event agenda so you can work out what catering
you may need (refreshment breaks, lunch, afternoon break?)
• Understand what equipment you need to bring to the venue – are you having
staging, lighting, PA system?
• Collate the total number of people the event needs to cater for – include
staff, hired help, delegates, speakers – include everybody.
• Have a rough idea on the location/radius or area you are willing to look
• Think about how your guests will be travelling to the event – Car, Public
transport etc.
• Know the flow of the event and how many rooms/areas you may need. For
example you may need one area where the speakers will be and another
area where refreshments are served?
• Decide on your room layouts before contacting venues unless you need to
discuss for advice
