Event hall for hire: why venues are important for an event

Lays the foundations of your event: think of your venue as the foundation of your event; the groundwork on which every other element can be laid, including capacity, amenities, comfort and overall experience. 

Determining location & transport: the location of the venue you choose also determines the location of your event, and how attendees can get there; does the venue have a private, onsite car park? Is it near local transport links like a train station or bus stop? Or will attendees need to pay for parking at another location and make the rest of the way on foot?

Cost of event: your chosen venue can also impact the overall cost of your event as an expensive venue can very quickly inflate your costs and bring your event overbudget. When working out your event budget, try setting a minimum and maximum budget you’re comfortable with, specifically for your venue hire.

Atmosphere & experience: your choice of venue is also important to atmosphere and attendee experience – including the decoration, layout, amenities, and the impression attendees get when approaching/entering the building. There’s so much that comes from the venue itself!

Capacity/number of attendees: the venue you choose will also determine the maximum amount of attendees your able to safely host at your event as each facility – whether it be a hall, a conference room, a theatre or an outdoor space – will have a maximum capacity for health & safety reasons. So, if you’re hoping to attract 500 people to your next event, make sure your venue can handle upwards of 500 people! 

In short, venues are important for an event because they determine, dictate and guide how your attendees get there, how many attendees can enjoy your event, the experience they have and even your overall budget; leading to the ultimate success of your event!
