Another venue to add to your list of options when planning a birthday, wedding or corporate function
17.10.2019

Finding the perfect venue is not easy. More than often, Parramatta venues are either booked in advance or don’t fulfil the list. When it comes to planning any event, not just a wedding, choosing the right place is crucial in guaranteeing a seamless event.

The first and most crucial step is to start with the type of event you are planning to give you an idea of where to start when looking for your ideal venue.

There are many wedding reception venues in Parramatta which offer versatile packages, perfect for a variety of different events. Many wedding function venues can be transformed to cater to various events. We recommend creating a list of some of your favourite event spaces and after that contacting them to see whether they can provide for your event!

Your guest list is a crucial element which needs to be considered right away as this will determine the venue you select in terms of headcount. Many venues will have a minimum and a maximum number of guests they need in order to make a booking. Writing down a list of who you are planning to invite before selecting a venue is helpful in assisting in the decision-making process. It is beneficial to set a maximum figure that you will accept and work towards that to ensure your guest list doesn’t spiral out of control.

Even more important than numbers is the food which will be served. You will need to determine whether your event will be a cocktail with finger foods or consist of a formal sit-down dinner. Other considerations include whether it will be self-serve, if full seating is required and if the venue will provide everything you need in regards to catering and food. It is also essential to take into account dietary and special requirements and ensure the venue can accommodate these.

The corporate, birthday or wedding function venue you choose should be the perfect space for your event. It is not just about the size of the space; it is also about the overall ambience, vibe and indoor/outdoor surroundings. This will contribute to the whole experience of your attendees while being at the event. When selecting a venue, especially one for a wedding reception, it should be one with character and function. We recommend assessing the venue before-hand, performing a site inspection and picturing how space will work for you and your function.

Before securing your birthday or wedding venue in Parramatta, ensure that it checks all your boxes in terms of location, access and logistics. Many people often overlook these factors, however, this encourages people’s decision on whether or not they will be attending. It is also essential to make sure there are wheelchair and disability accessibility.
