By Seomul Evans


Events have importance in our life whether it is a wedding event, business gathering, or anniversary, There are many things that need to be considered before arranging an event. Looking for a banquet room is one of them. In order to get the best venue regarding the event, we need to create a list of questions that we should discuss with the venue manager. Some of the most important questions are:

How Long Have You Been in Business?

When we ask this question, it helps us to comprehend the effectiveness of the business because if the business has remained under the same ownership since day one, it means it is not only going good but also profitable as well as has a good reputation. On the other hand, if the owners have changed frequently, it means the business is struggling all through the years of its existence. This question helps you to form an opinion about the quality of the service and its effectiveness the business offer.

Can the Facility Accommodate All Guests?

Depending on the size of your event, find a banquet room where you can comfortably fit all guests. Rooms come in different sizes and with different amenities. Be certain that the room is big enough to accommodate people, including amenities like food catering and multimedia equipments. You should also make sure that there is a parking facility to accommodate vehicles coming to the venue. If parking is possible, ask if security officers are provided in the area.

Do You Offer Bar and Catering Services?

Food and drinks have always been a main part of any event to make it successful and memorable. In general, a banquet room may not offer a catering service. In addition, any outside food and access to their kitchen area may be refused as well. Therefore, get the specifics of their catering policy and compare them with other rental facilities. You can also customize the menu if you have personal preferences with regard to food.

What Comes With the Rental Fee?

You should always be careful about the cost and the things going to be included in the cost. Some facilities charge an all-inclusive per guest cost, however, other charge a flat rate rental fee for the space alone and separate costs for food, drink, music, etc. After the event, you must review the breakdown of cost to ensure that you are not paying for any unused item like un-served menu, unopened bottles of drinks etc. Furthermore, discuss regarding their cancellation policy, refund policy, mode of payment and overtime fee before paying the required initial deposit.

Do You Provide Venue Staff During the Event?

In order to maintain the features and quality of the affair, you need a sufficient staff that can ensure you enough manpower, because the staff helps you from the preparation stage up to the after-party. You should also ask the banquet room manager about other booking that share the same date and time with your event. If it is same then you may have to share resources like parking, restrooms and venue staff with other parties that could affect your event.

With the advent of the internet a huge amount of information can be generated about many different event venues. It may not provide you with certain specifications that you need when forming an opinion even though it will be beneficial for you . In order to ensure that your event go smoothly and accurately, you need to speak with the banquet room manager to get the correct answers to your questions.
