Frequently Asked Questions
Can I provide the venue with my own decor for my function?
Usually yes, within reason. Most venue managers will have no problem with you bringing your own table decorations, such as flowers or candles, and some smaller things like balloons. If you want to bring some big decorations or reorganise the space, make sure to check with the venue manager first.
What info do venue managers need ahead of the function?
The most important information is how many people will be attending your event. After that, it depends on whether your venue is providing food and drinks as well. If so, you will need to talk to them about any dietary requirements that need to be accommodated.
Can I organise entertainment for my function?
Usually, yes. This will take some coordination between the venue and your entertainment - live bands, for example, will require space and easy access to power.
What extra service can venues provide for my function?
Besides just the space for your event, many venues can also provide catering and decoration. They will likely have event packages to choose from, to help make the logistics of putting on your function that much easier.
Can I make special menu requests of the venue's caterers?
Any caterer will want to know - with plenty of notice - about dietary requirements and allergies. If you want them to make specific dishes, or perhaps you're thinking of providing your own dessert, just make sure you give them plenty of notice to see whether they are able to accommodate you.
