Function Rooms For All Occasions

Function rooms are a great venue to host many types of events. Hotels, Bars and Pubs, reception centre's, galleries, conference centre's and exhibition centre's all have function rooms in which to hold a fully catered event or a corporate event. When choosing the perfect function venue for any type of event one should consider the following to ensure that the select appropriately.

The Occasion is important, as the types of requirements for a one function may not be the same as another. At a corporate events or conference it may be essential for the function room to contain a stage, lighting and sound facilities, projector, microphone, television crews, podium and other amenities. However a wedding on the other hand may require a dance floor, catering facilities, bridal room and a stage for a band or DJ.

It is also important to consider the space in the function room. Can it hold the number of guests attending? The utilization of space is another important consideration, as there are certainly different space requirements for a cocktail function as compared to a sit down banquet. At a corporate event or conference you may need tables for workshops or theatre style seating for lectures and maybe extra space for potential sponsors or exhibitors. The way in which the function room is to be used would definitely determine how much space is needed.

The food at most functions is an important requirement. Whether it is a conference, training session, party or wedding, the food is one of the main highlights. Most function venues have their own in house catering or restaurant. Many have a catering company which also manages the function room or venue. And some have neither but have an on site kitchen which enables you to organize your own outside catering. But before making a decision about any function center ensure that their food meets your standards and that the menu is varied and caters to all dietary requirements.

Always check what the music capabilities are at the function room or venue of your choice. There are some function venues which insist that you use their own in-house DJ's or Bands. There may be some function venues that have sound level restrictions. So you need to ask these questions before organizing your entertainment or music requirements.

Convenience and accessibility is important in order to access the function room or venue. Make that the function venue has ample parking for guests or delegates. Also if the function room is within a larger complex signage or assistance at the reception desk is essential. Some planning on your part may be required when choosing some function rooms.

The different types of events that can be held in a function room include: Corporate Event/ Conferences, Exhibitions, Product Launches, Gala Dinners, Charity Events, Anniversaries, Sporting Events, PR Events, Live Entertainment Events, Debutante Balls, Hens and Buck Parties, Bridal/ Baby Showers, Christmas Parties, Birthday Parties, Engagement Parties, Christenings, Weddings

Good luck when choosing the next function room for your event.
