Planning a special event is exciting- and more than a little rough on the nerves. For the love of God, you never want your event to be remembered for the \u2018AWFUL venue, entertainment, food, atmosphere etc.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve already found great entertainment. But finding the right entertainment venue<\/a> is one of the more traditionally tricky aspects of party planning. In the interests of making that process a little less fraught, here are a few tips to help you make the best decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider the season. You may have the absolute perfect venue in mind, but if it\u2019s most charming features can only be enjoyed in warmer weather, and you\u2019ve got a February event, keep looking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can the venue accommodate the kind of entertainment you have in mind?<\/a> Do they have in-house tech people to set up the stage, or will the performers need to bring all their own equipment and tech people?<\/span><\/p>\n

Is the venue relatively convenient for the majority of the guests? Of course, for special occasions most people don\u2019t mind going a bit out of their way, but you don\u2019t want your guests to become mired in complex travel arrangements- unless you\u2019re prepared to organise and pay for it all, of course!<\/span><\/p>\n

Is the venue actually available at the time you have in mind? Many first time party planners mistakenly believe that a couple of months-notice is more than enough. Very popular venues, however, can be booked out in peak months well over a year in advance. Before you get too carried away with the planning, ensure your venue of choice is actually available.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
