Whether you’re planning a wedding reception or a corporate event, renting a venue is one of the most important aspects of planning the party. You’ll want to ensure the venue can meet your requirements ahead of time, so you don’t end up with an unhappy turnout. As you visit the available Lake Geneva banquet halls, keep these factors in mind.
Estimate Your Expected Capacity
Before you begin hunting for the ideal venue, you should have a fair idea of the number of guests you expect. You’ll want a venue that’s large enough to hold everyone comfortably, but not so large that some guests will get lost in the back of the hall. If your choice is between one extreme or the other, always go larger. You can block off a segment of the hall if it won’t be needed.
Consider the Location
There’s something to be said about Lake Geneva banquet halls that are conveniently located, but, if you’d rather opt for the peace and quiet of the countryside, you can also find those options just on the outskirts of town. If you do choose a more remote location, consider hiring a charter bus or other transportation for your guests to ensure everyone can get home safely.
Inspect the Interior
Don’t just rent a venue based on pamphlets and a quick peek into the hall. It’s better to take your time and inspect the venue yourself. As you walk around, look for fire extinguishers and smoke alarms, the locations of electrical outlets, and other features that you’ll need to use during your event. If you’re bringing in a sound system or other multimedia equipment, be sure the venue can handle the extra energy usage.
