Venues

Venue services are the various offerings provided by event spaces to make your event run smoothly and according to your specific needs. These services can be broadly categorized into two types:

• Basic venue rental: This includes the provision of the space itself, along with standard amenities like chairs, tables, lighting, and restrooms.

• Additional services: These are services that you can choose to add on to your base rental fee, and can vary depending on the venue. Some common examples include:

  • Catering: Many venues offer in-house catering services, or allow you to hire an outside caterer.
  • Event planning and coordination: This can be a lifesaver, especially for large or complex events. Event planners can help you with everything from selecting vendors to creating a timeline for your event.
  • Audio/visual equipment: This includes things like sound systems, projectors, and screens.
  • Security: Security services can help to keep your event safe and secure.
  • Furniture rentals: If the venue’s standard furniture doesn’t meet your needs, you may be able to rent additional furniture, such as high chairs, dance floors, or specialty seating.
  • Linens: This includes tablecloths, napkins, and chair covers.
  • Staff: Some venues offer staffing services, such as wait staff, bartenders, and coat check attendants.
  • Set-up and breakdown: This can be a time-consuming task, so many venues offer set-up and breakdown services for an additional fee.
