Consider the Event Type<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
First, you\u2019ll want to consider what type of event you\u2019re planning. The number of guests is important, but so is the context. You wouldn\u2019t want to throw a business meeting for 400 CEOs and entrepreneurs on the beach, although that might be an appropriate venue for a wedding the same size.<\/p>\n

Decorate for a themed party and have the day of your dreams.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The three main types of large events that planners prepare for are:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Weddings<\/a><\/li>\n
- Business meetings<\/a><\/li>\n
- Parties<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Under each overall type of event, there are numerous sub-categories. Your business may specialize in only one, or you may tackle all three. Either way, it can help to become familiar with the event venues in your area that are appropriate for large parties of all the types.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Consider the Services Needed & Provided\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve got a long attendees list, you will need a lot of things. Will there be food offered at the get-together? Most event attendees expect it. Will there be entertainment? Of course, you don\u2019t want guests to get bored or distract themselves from the reason for gathering. Will there be facilities needed or presentations planned?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The agenda of the event will largely determine\u00a0the types of services you need<\/a>\u00a0to plan a large-venue event successfully.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
When choosing a large event space, consider whether they offer in-house services.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In-house Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
\n- Do they provide catering services? Accommodations for food storage? Food preparation and serving help?<\/li>\n
- If no food service is provided, does the venue provide supplemental materials so you can bring food? Do they have flatware, serving platters, dishes, and napkins?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
In-house Staging<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
\n- Does the venue provide signage and decoration to help guide the guests from one area to another, or to mark important areas? Will the venue provide maps or do they have a digital map or app that can assist with the guest experience?<\/li>\n
- Does the venue have limitations on decorations or entertainment you can bring in from outside, if they don\u2019t provide the services you\u2019re looking for?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
In-house Equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
\n- Does the venue have the technology and equipment for slideshows, videos, live demonstrations, audio needs, and other elements you need to throw a successful event?<\/li>\n
- Does the venue have a DJ, video projectionist, and other crew you can rely on to be available during your event? What are the backup procedures, in case you need to find your own?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
In-house Parking<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
\n- Does the venue provide valet or designated parking areas? Is there sufficient parking for the number of guests that you\u2019re planning to attend? How does the venue address parking issues?<\/li>\n
- Are there costs or fees associated with parking? Are they the responsibility of the event planner and hosts or of the guests? How long is the parking available for, according to the amount paid?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
In-house CleanUp<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
\n- After the event is over, does the venue provide its own cleanup crew? Or should the host and planner make arrangements for cleanup? If you must make your own arrangements, what are the requirements? Is there a specific timeline you must have cleanup completed?<\/li>\n
- If you are asked to provide your own cleanup, request a checklist Document the venue on your arrival \u2013 including taking pictures or video if necessary. Then, document it again after your cleanup is complete. In case your contract is ever questioned, you will want to provide evidence that you fulfilled your obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
The more in-house services that a large event space provides, the more venue rental will cost. However, because your time in finding or providing all these services at lower costs is eliminated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leave the Large Event Space Specialties to the Specialists\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
Overall, finding a large venue that provides the most in-house or easily sub-contracted services saves you the most time, money, and stress. When dealing with a venue\u00a0of this size<\/a>, a lot of unknown factors come into play. Choose a large event space\u00a0that manages itself<\/a>, so you can manage to plan the best day possible.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
