So are the bright days great for holiday parties, weddings, and all celebrations of life. You can throw a party for anything, so while the season&#8217;s coming to stay, why not look a little past the backyard?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hosting your party at a Hamilton event venue is a great way to create unique, special memories your friends and family will look back on for years. The city is full of interesting spaces with a fun, unique atmosphere you might not realise are available if you walk past it on the street.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never worked with an event venue or wedding venue before? We can help with how to plan an event in Hamilton. Here\u2019s our event venue checklist to help you find an event venue that\u2019s perfect for your event, and make your night a success.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Event Venue Non-Negotiables<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When planning a party, an event venue is one of the first things you should decide on. Dates, guestlist, and any other vendors you might be working with all wait on a venue. So what should you be looking for in your venue?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These things are the necessities. It\u2019s your first round of checks, and if a venue fails here, you have to be ruthless. Cut it, no matter how charming the brick walls are.<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Does it fit your guest count comfortably?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to pick a venue that doesn\u2019t just <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">technically<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fit your guest count, but allows a little breathing room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Is it available on your date and time?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When planning a party, you start with the event venue. You have to work with the dates the venue has available. If you need to host an event on a specific date, start planning early! Venue dates are first come, first serve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Is it within budget?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that includes taxes, fees, and any add-ons your event needs. Some vendors require certain vendors to be booked through them. Keep those costs in mind when deciding on an event venue, not just the base cost.<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How accessible is the location?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about how your guests are going to get to you. If you\u2019re booking an event venue in Hamilton, how long will it take for your friends and family to drive, or ride the bus there? Is there parking, or transit nearby? Is there anyone on your guestlist who might struggle to get up the stairs, or access certain parts of the space? Nobody wants to walk too far from where they parked in party heels, or be stuck without a bus to ride home at the end of the night. Here\u2019s a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rickhansen.com\/news-stories\/blog\/five-traits-meaningfully-accessible-building\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">handy guide to what makes a space accessible.<\/span><\/a><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does Your Party Look Like?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you know you can fit all your guests in your event venue, and you know how they\u2019re getting there. Awesome! Now that everyone\u2019s made it to the door, what does your party look like?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Does the atmosphere suit your event?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamilton event venues range from art galleries to churches with beautiful gardens to 80s themed dancefloors to gothic-kitsch tearooms. In a city with so many interesting venues, make sure to ask yourself before you make the final decision: is this the theme I want?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Where will your guests arrive?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the entrance to the venue easy to find? Is it accessible to people in wheelchairs or other mobility aids? Will they have to wait to join the party, or can they walk right in as they arrive? Think about your first time visiting the venue. Was that the experience you want your guests to have at your party?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Where do coats go?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not always summer. In colder months, is there a coat rack, or even a coat check? Remember, some of your guests might come by transit, not by car. That\u2019s a lot more time out in the cold!<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Where is food served?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are the chairs and tables comfortable? Ask your event venue about how tables might be placed with your guest count, will the dining area be too cramped?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Is it comfortable?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How\u2019s the temperature? Are there places to sit? Does the room get too loud when people are talking? Are the bathrooms easy to find?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Where do people gather?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s on a dancefloor or around a hearth, people want to mingle. What space will your guests have to gather, talk, and enjoy each other&#8217;s company?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t think you could easily move through your venue when it\u2019s crowded, that\u2019s a red flag. Cramped, overcrowded venues are no fun, even if they\u2019re beautiful.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s Included In Your Venue?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where budgets blow up. Not all event venue rentals are built equal. Two venues with the same price tag can offer wildly different services for that price. So what should you be looking for?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tables, chairs, and linens<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re dining, does the venue provide your seating? Do they charge extra for it, or will you have to get another vendor?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AV Equipment<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AV stands for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bespokeav.ca\/what-is-av-equipment-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audio Visual Equipment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For your party, that probably means music. Speakers, DJ equipment, lights, or even microphones for a speech. Will the venue provide that equipment, or do you have to get it elsewhere?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Setup and Teardown<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s because you\u2019re serving food or dancing, you\u2019re probably going to need tables, seating, or other amenities set up for your event. That means taking it down when you\u2019re done, too! Will the venue help?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Staff Support<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What staff support does your event need? Will the event venue provide servers or other personnel such as coat check, or ushers? Do they charge for it even if you don\u2019t need it? If you have to organise your own personnel, that\u2019s another venue you\u2019ll have to coordinate with for the day.<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cleaning Fees<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning fees might not be included in the base price. Make sure before you decide!<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Insurance Requirements<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the size of your event, you might need insurance. Usually, it\u2019s not that expensive. But if it\u2019s not included in your venue, that\u2019s more time, effort, and cost on you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One venue might look cheaper than another. Sometimes, that just means you\u2019re renting everything separately.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is The Venue Flexible?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something is going to go sideways. The bigger an event, the more moving parts, the more likely mistakes are. That\u2019s not the end of the world! But how does the venue deal with changing plans?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Can you bring your own vendors?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember when we said that some vendors require certain vendors to be booked through them? Can you hire your own caterer, or are you required to use the event venue services? Can you hire your own bar, or your own baker? In-house vendors can be convenient, but sometimes they may not offer the menus or exact services you want.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Are there strict time cutoffs?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cities will have noise ordinances, but does the event venue have their own requirements? How late will your event go, and how late does the venue host? Does that time include breakdown time?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How do they handle last-minute changes?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if guest count shifts? Are venue staff responsive enough to handle a change in vendor, or a vendor being late? These are things worth asking about when booking an event venue.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everything is going to go to plan. That\u2019s life. Make sure your venue is ready for it.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay Attention to the Staff<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When booking an event venue, you\u2019re dealing with the people who run it.<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Are they responsive?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How fast do the event venue managers answer emails or texts? Do they follow up when they say they will? Don\u2019t expect responses outside of working hours, of course, but you can\u2019t run an event with someone who\u2019s avoiding you.<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do they answer questions clearly?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every event venue will have drawbacks. Are they forthright about them? Do they have an FAQ to reference? Do they respond quickly?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do they feel organised, or chaotic?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If communication is messy now, imagine how it will feel during your event.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust Your Gut<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If everything logical checks out, trust your instincts.<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Does this feel like the right energy?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the venue match the experience you\u2019re creating? Do you think your guests will enjoy it? Most importantly, do <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> think you\u2019ll enjoy it?<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-checked=\"false\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Can I relax knowing this is handled?<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you trust the venue? Do you trust the people you\u2019ll be working with on the night?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a venue technically works but makes you uneasy, there\u2019s usually a reason.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve gotten all the way here and you still can\u2019t decide between two or more venues, congratulations! That\u2019s pretty lucky. You have a wealth of options. But you still have to pick a venue, so\u2026.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Coin Flip<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a trick I use when I\u2019m stuck. Flip a coin, or roll a die if you have more than one venue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your gut, there\u2019s an event venue that you want. If the coin lands on that one, you\u2019ll probably be happy. Any hesitation you feel is your answer trying to get out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your venue should be the one to solve the most problems, and create the least stress for you. The fewer extra rentals the easier your event will flow on the night. You want to be able to enjoy your event, and the people there too. That\u2019s more important than looking good on Instagram.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding Your Perfect Event Venue<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with a venue can be a lot of work. Hosting events, even in the best and easiest venues to communicate with, means organizing any vendors coming in, dealing with pre-event administration, and managing the vendors on the day of the event. It can be hard to decide what you need from your perfect event venue. If it sounds like a lot of work, you might want to think about hiring an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/maroongoose.ca\/index.php\/services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">event coordinator.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does an event coordinator do for you?
