If you are planning to host an event for the holiday, it’s wise to begin getting everything in order as soon as possible to avoid disappointment on the big night. Choosing a venue can be tricky and the most popular spots tend to book up well in advance. With so many venues to choose from, you need to ensure you get in early to bag the best venue possible for your big event. While it might be difficult to believe, we are now just under one month away from the vibrant and exhilarating New Year’s Eve celebrations in Caribana Toronto.
Many party venues for hire in London recommend finalising your plans as soon as possible if you want to secure your spot on the night. The longer you wait to put deposits down, the bigger the chance there is for you to be left hunting down an alternative venue for your party at the last minute. Selecting the best possible venue for your next event is essential if you want your party to be a success. While there are some incredible venues out there, the “best” venue is always going to be the one that will suit your needs and those of your fellow party-goers the best.
Continue reading to learn more about some of the most important factors to consider so you can choose the best NYE venue for your party.
Size And Capacity
One of the most important things that you need to consider is how many guests the venue can accommodate. For most hosts, an overriding consideration for a party venue is the size, capacity and flexibility. Can it host a range of between 350 to 1,000 guests? If the space is versatile enough to be reconfigured based on the expected number of guests, then you want to keep it on your short list of possibilities as you gather information.
Intended Use
Many rooms, buildings, and outdoor spaces are purpose-built for parties and entertainment. Others are built for specific purposes and then re-imagined into potential alternative uses, including large gatherings. In general, hosting an event in a space that was originally intended for parties can make the whole planning and execution much smoother. However, you may find certain venues which have been repurposed do offer you more character and charm than generic spaces. Be sure to keep an open mind when you are assessing different options.
Subdivisions
Another factor to consider is how the venue is configured. Many spaces are subdivided into different quarters, all with unique functions in mind. Will you have access to all areas of the building or just a limited portion? Is the traffic flow within the venue conducive to celebrations and mingling? Or has it been concentrated in certain areas, potentially causing bottlenecks as people move about? Understanding how the space can be used is essential for any successful NYE bash.
Amenities
What special amenities does the venue already have in place that may support or improve the enjoyment of the space during the party? Does it have built-in sound and lighting systems? Will your DJ or band be able to plug directly into the venue’s systems, or do they need to bring in their own PA system? How about lighting, screen projectors, and internet access? Screen projectors can also be a cool feature to have for celebrations like these as they enhance the overall visual effects and allow you to share your tastes in music and video presentation. With the right setup, you can also watch other New Years’ celebrations in cities like New York and Sydney, where huge crows gather to watch fireworks and the Ball Drops at midnight, helping to make your party feel bigger than it may be.
Parking And Transport
One more crucial feature for your party venue is parking and access to public transport, whether that means the Tube, buses, taxis, or anything else that will help to ensure your guests arrive without issue and can get home safely. Secure parking is also key, not only for your guests but for any providers that you might be working with on the night such as caterers, musicians, performers and so on. Being in a central location is always helpful in terms of public transport access but there are plenty of other options to choose from without splashing out on the high price tag that often comes with a central venue.
Choose The Very Best Venue For Your NYE Event This Year
As the needs of every party planner are a little different, there is no one size fits all solution when it comes to choosing the right venue for your New Year’s Eve party. To ensure you select the most suitable venue for your big party this year, be sure to follow the tips outlined above. Smart planning and execution go a long way toward throwing a truly memorable New Years’ celebration.
