Things to Consider When Choosing a Banquet Hall

There are lots of difficulties that can occur while organizing an event. This task can be much more difficult to those of us who have little to none experience in managing and organizing. One of the things you need to do is choose a proper banquet hall that will satisfy the needs of the event you are planning.

Here are the things you must consider before you choose the ideal hall for you:

1. Location

When you organize an event, try to think about the people that will be attending. Make sure that the location of your banquet hall will be reachable to anyone. You can do this by checking accessible roads on an online map application or by consulting with the customer service support of the banquet hall you intend on reserving.

2. Parking

Parking is a big deal when it comes to events. Check if the banquet hall has the required amount of parking spaces. You don’t want people showing up, but having nowhere to park. Also, since EV became popular, you can also check if the parking lot has EV chargers.

If your banquet hall doesn’t offer enough parking spaces, you can organize the arrivals by shared Uber/Lyft/Cab rides. In such cases discounts are possible

3. Flexibility

You must consult with the owners of the banquet hall for date and space flexibility. Some of them are pretty strict when it comes to dates and some events may require postponing. Also, there are many different types of events and maybe yours will be in need of extra space or services like videographers, acoustics and catering that the banquet hall may provide. Check the flexibility of your banquet hall by consulting with the owners, try to think of the ideal solutions together.

4. Insurance

It is normal for things to go astray, especially in big and complicated events. Insurance is essential when you are making your deal with the banquet hall. Some of them don’t even accept hosting an event without prior insurance and some banquet halls may offer to provide you with it. Consult with an insurance agent to figure out the best insurance deal for your situation.

5. Accessibility

Accessibility means that attending the event will be possible for everyone; or that people with special needs can have access to the banquet hall and its amenities. Check your attendance list if you will be having guests with special needs and then check with the banquet hall to see what kind of accessibilities they provide for people with special needs. This list should include specially designed toilets, lifts, refreshment areas, bedrooms, parking lots and entrances.
