Events have importance in our life, because they provide us an opportunity to meet different people and share our ideas in one place. Whenever you plan for an event, whether it is related to a wedding, business gathering or anniversary, There are many things you need to take into account. Looking for a banquet room is one of them. In order to ensure that you get the best venue, you should make a list of questions and discuss them when you meet with the venue manager. Below I am going to mention some of the most important questions that you need to ask to banquet manager:

How Long Have You Been in Business?

This question will help you identify whether the business has remained under the same ownership since day one. If it has changed hands frequently, it can only mean that the business struggles all through the years of its existence. Subtly, you can somehow form an opinion about the quality of service the business offers. Go for a reputable facility instead.

Can the Facility Accommodate All Guests?

Depending on the size of your event, find a banquet room where you can comfortably fit all guests. Rooms come in different sizes and with different amenities. Be certain that the room is big enough to accommodate people, including amenities like food catering and multimedia equipments. You should also make sure that there is a parking facility to accommodate vehicles coming to the venue. If parking is possible, ask if security officers are provided in the area.

Do You Offer Bar and Catering Services?

Food and drink has always been an important part of any event because it plays a vital role to make an event successful. A banquet room may not offer a catering service, plus forbid any outside food and access to their kitchen area. Therefore, get the information regarding their catering policy and compare them with other banquet rental facilities so that you can get a clear picture. You can customize the menu according to your desire. If you are going to invite kids to the events make sure that kid meals are served as well. Also, ask if there's a free tasting to ensure food quality.

What Comes with the Rental Fee?

You should always be careful about the cost and the things going to be included in the cost. Some facilities charge an all-inclusive per guest cost, however, other charge a flat rate rental fee for the space alone and separate costs for food, drink, music, etc. After the event, you must review the breakdown of cost to ensure that you are not paying for any unused item like un-served menu, unopened bottles of drinks etc. Furthermore, discuss regarding their cancellation policy, refund policy, mode of payment and overtime fee before paying the required initial deposit.

Do You Provide Venue Staff During the Event?

You should ask about the manpower in the form of staff that can control and maintain the ambience of the affair. This ensures you that you have enough venue staff to assist you from the preparation stage up to the after-party. Keeping this point in mind, ask the banquet room manager about other booking that share the same date and time with your event. You may have shared resource like parking, restrooms and venue staff with other parties that can affect your event.

While the internet can generate loads of information about many different event venues, it can't provide you with certain specifications that you need when forming an opinion. To ensure that your event goes smoothly, you need to speak with the banquet room manager to get straight answers to your questions.
