How to Choose a Banquet Hall
If you're like many newly engagedcouples, then you are at currently looking for a place to host your wedding recpetion. So, howto choose a banquet hall, that's the question we'd like to help you answer here. Before you plunk down alarge depositon an event venue, there are some things to consider. Let's assume you've already decided which route to go- Country Club, Hotel, Cruise Ship, Banquet Hall, Restaurant, Mansion, etc. More on that in a future article.We'll assumeyou've got your reception hall narrowed down to a few choices.
It's very important thatyourwedding venue isable to put your bar in themain room. If the bar is in the foyer, (this isokay for cocktail hour)or in a wholly totally different room, half of your friends will be away from the main room. Even when only 30% of yourguests are out of the main room, it's going to still appear like half the folks have left. Your dance floor will take a dive and your reception will not be perceived as a success.Take into account this: the people who drink and hang by the bar are usually the fun, loud, partying types. Yourparty needs these people! A venue with a lot of different areas to hide is not good unless you have an enormously large group. It's much better to keep them inone room. If the banquet facility will not assist you to havethe bar in themain room, youshould go with a different hall.
Whilecomparing several different reception venues, your next job is to make sure your dance floor is appropriate.By that, I mean the right size, and in the rightsection of the room. It is 100% necessary to have your DJ/Band next to or on the dance floor. Don't put tables between the music and the dance floor. Whoever is sitting there will get their ears blown off. Yes ladies, size does matter. Here's a little known DJ secret. If you want people to dance, don't give them too much room. A big dance floor may seem elegant and beautiful, but itmost likelywill make people feelover exposed, and will actually discourage dancing. Every wedding reception has gueststhat aren't too confident in their dancing abilities. A crowded dance floor makes it easy for these reluctant dancers to join in and hide, which might be the only way they'll dance. Smaller is better.Your reception will be percieved as a hit when dancers are spilling off the dance floor. As a wedding DJ for the past 25 years, I have seen this over and over. Don't put the dance floor in a seperate room, this is a recipe for dance floor disaster. Ideally, the dance floor should be near the middle of the room, allowing for everyone to be fairly close, but PLEASEDO NOTsit Grandma too close to the DJ or the dancing. Sound is loudest next to the speakers and in the direction that they are aimed. Behind, or to the side of the speakers is the quietest. Most reception banquet halls get it, they usually will let you design the room as you wish. If not,pick a different banquet hall.
Lastly, banquets halls ought to have the correct size room to go along with the number of company attending. It's badto have all your family and friends feeling like they're caught in a stuffy room.Worse yet,is having a room so giant that it feels empty. The latter is a simple fix, though. All you have to do isarrange the tables in closer so they are grouped together. The worst thing you are able to do is attempt to refill the entire room by spreading out all of the tables. This can make it feel much less intimate.Most halls routinely set tables of ten or more, which is way too tight for most peoples comfort.If you have the room, go for seating of7 or 8per table. This will help fill some empty space. If the room is too big, and you are having a photo montage,plan in advance and have the room arranged with the placement of the screen in mind, making it so that everyone can see, without having to move.That'll use up some space.
If your room is too big, a lot of venues have dividers that can close off the vast areas, or you can request someextra decorations. This will provide you with an opportunity to add your ownstyle to the event so long as the banquethall will let you get creative.
There are other points to think about when you think about how to choose a banquet hall, we'll get to them in future articles. In case if you are trying to save money by looking at low cost banquet halls, you're not alone. You can generally save money by picking off peakdates. A fabulous (and generallyundiscovered) time to have a reception is the week between Christmas and New Years. Everyone is already in party mode, a lot of folks are on vacation, out of towners have time to travel, and the banquet venues are slow, so they should offer steep discounts. Don't be shy, ask them.
Yourwedding ought to come off without a hitch as long as you take the recommendations found here. Remember to have thevenue set the bar up in the room. Put your dance floor in themiddle of the room with all of your tables gathered around. Consider where the older guests are seated in relation to the natural volume of the room. IE The closer to the DJ, the louder it is. If the room is simply too big, arrange for more tables. If the room istoo small thats perfect, if it's grossly too small, choose a different venue. As you shell out the money to your reception hall, remember the fact that you are the consumer, so your desires and wishes come first. These requests aren't unreasonable, and any skilled location shouldn't havea problemaccommodating you. If they do, choose a differenthall.
