One of the most important decisions to be made when planning a big event is selecting the right venue, since this sets the atmosphere and tone for the entire event. Whether you are planning a huge, grand event or a private party, there are many other variables to take into consideration besides just the budget. Choosing the right wedding venue is crucial to the success of your event, so we have assembled some of our best advice to keep in mind when making the big decision!

Venue Location

Obviously, all venues need to be in the right location. Think convenience. It needs to be easily accessible to the guests who will be attending. For example, if you have many guests that will be coming from long distances then you’ll need the event venue to be relevantly close to an airport or easy to get to from the airport. You also need to ensure that the location is suitable for whatever programs or recreational activities you might have planned for your event. On Snappening, you can search by zip code, city name or distance from a particular area. For example, if you only wanted downtown Indianapolis event venues, you could get a comprehensive list with the click of a button. If you needed all Noblesville-area event venues, you could do that as well. The advance search features on Snappening.com are endless.

Venue Type and Venue Facilities

The type of venue you want for the wedding, as well as the facilities within the venue, will play a large role in your decision-making process, so be sure to pay close attention to what your venue has to offer. Consider what your guests will need while they are attending your event and the tone you want to set for guests. Will they need Internet, disabled access, parking facilities, restaurants, bars, or dressing rooms for the bridal party? Do you want a modern style or a historic one? Do you want an indoor space or an outdoor space? These are the types of questions you should be asking yourself when determining which venue will be most suitable.

Venue Size

Before selecting the venue, you need to have a rough estimate of how many people will be attending in order to accommodate everybody. If the venue is too small, your guests won’t be comfortable. If it is too big, it may convey the impression of poor planning. In addition to comfort, keep in mind whether or not the room will be large enough to provide each guest with a good view. All eyes will be on the bride and groom, so you want to make sure everyone can see the important aspects of the big event. Snappening offers a variety of searches by size including event venues for 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 or more guests.
 
 
 
 

Event Rental Cost

There’s always one key question in the back of the mind when planning an event: does it fall within the budget? While this is indeed an important question, you also need to consider some other important aspects. You’ll need to research if the rates can be negotiated, whether there are any extra costs, what the cancelation policy is and when the payment will be required. A great tool can be the venue comparison tool on Snappening. With this tool, you can select as many as five (5) venues you are interested in at one time to see what 20 of the most common fees are included or not per venue. Talk about a real time saver!
