Are you planning the event of the year but don't know where you want to host it. Your possibilities are endless when it comes to where to host an event so don't limit yourself.
Here Are Some Ideas To Get Your Creative Juices Flowing.
Banquet Hall For Functions and Catering Services
Hotels and Restaurants for Functions and Catering Services
Hotels and resorts tend to be my favorite venues to work with because they provide everything in one location, making it super easy for you and your guests. Depending on the location and time of year amenities, ambiance and cost vary greatly depending on the hotel or resort. The good side of using this style of venue is that it offers onsite accommodations and added amenities such as concierge service, shuttles, spas, etc. Typically they are also in proximity to airports and other vacation destinations so guests can feel free to enjoy activities on days before or after your event. They also offer low or no rental fees, the major costs tend to come in when you select how many guests and the menu items. However, the bad side is that the cuisine and hotel ballrooms set up can be somewhat generic. Also, if you are not using the full ballroom the dividers provided may be unappealing and unsightly. You may also run into a problem with a lack of privacy since larger hotels tend to be busy and host multiple events at once.
Country Clubs for Functions and Catering Services
Country Clubs are another great option for events, functions and catering services during any time of the year. You can utilize both the interior and exterior areas of the property. The interior areas may vary from place to place, but the grounds will almost always be a pleasant option including lakes, golf courses, marinas, and the list goes on according to where you are located. Some country clubs are limited to renting their facility to members only so keep that in mind when visiting locations. The good side to country clubs is that golf and other activities may be available for guests before, during, or after your event. They also offer great outdoor photo opportunities. The bad side of country clubs is that the facilities typically do not completely evacuate the area for your event so there may be members still on site that day. Also, the food may be average or limited sometimes not allowing outside caterers.
Local Bar and Grill Restaurant for Functions and Catering Services
Hosting a function and catering services at a local restaurant in Darlinghurst or Rushcutters Bay is also an option and offers a simple and convenient location. Most restaurants have experience hosting large functions so planning is relatively painless. If you've got a certain look and price range in mind, more than likely you can find a restaurant that fits your needs. Restaurants are great because usually their food good because it is their specialty. The rooms are also already fully decorated adding a little spunk to your event for free. The downside to using this venue is that space tends to be very limited in terms of the number of guests and other vendors that can fit. You will need to make sure space can fit a dance floor and band or DJ if your event will be including that form of entertainment. There is also the potential for a lack of privacy since more than likely the restaurant will remain open for their usual guests.
