What to look for in an event venue
Capacity and layout matter as much as looks — check whether the space fits your guest count comfortably, including seating if needed. Parking and accessibility are worth confirming ahead of time, especially for venues in busy downtown areas. Ask about catering policy: some venues allow any outside caterer, others require using an in-house or approved vendor list. Rental duration and overtime fees vary widely, so confirm your booking window covers setup and cleanup, not just the event itself.
