10 Tips For Choosing a Corporate Hospitality Venue


If you're looking for a corporate hospitality venue, then perhaps you've already got somewhere in mind, and know exactly what you want. Alternative, you might not know what sort of venue you want, or what to look for.

Here are some ideas to make sure everything goes to plan.

1. You'll want to decide whereabouts you want to hold your corporate event. Will it be near your work, or somewhere central so that it's nearer for all guests to get to? If you've got an idea in mind, such as horse racing hospitality, or other sporting event, then you'll have to decide which event you want to attend.

2. Knowing how many guests you're expecting can also help you to decide on the perfect corporate venue for your event. You don't want to be lost in a large room if there are only a few guests.

3. The sort of guests you invite can also make a difference to what sort of corporate hospitality venue you decide on. You won't want to choose something that your guests do for a living, or do regularly. Why not think of the corporate events you've been to and see if you can think of something appropriate. Will your guests be impressed if you spend a fortune, or will they think you're charging too much?

4. Once you've decided on your venue, you'll want to make sure that it's available when you want it. Alternatively, you might want to choose a different date, or a different venue.

5. What sort of entertainment is on offer for you and your guests? Will it be appropriate and the sort of things your guests will expect?

6. The next thing is to determine how you and your guest will get there. Will you be laying on transport, or will you expect your guest to make their own arrangements. You might want to provide taxi or minibus details to make it easier. Why not see if you can arrange overnight accommodation too?

7. Meals and refreshments are another consideration, and you'll want to make sure that they are all included, so that your guests are not expected to pay for anything during the day.

8. Check that other extras are included, or can be added if necessary. Perhaps you'll want an expert in the even to help you, or you might want to advertise at the event, or you might want to stay overnight.

9. Remember that it's important not to choose a location or event solely on cost. You don't want to forget anything important like meals, and you also don't want your guests to think that you're working to a tight budget. It might be better not to host an event than to do it on the cheap. You don't want your reputation to be spoilt.

10. Above all, it needs to be a fun day out for all involved. Whilst you might be looking for new business, it will be a chance to spend time with your clients, and so you'll want it to be a relaxed atmosphere. If the venue you're considering is very formal, and you're a relaxed company, it might not be the right place for your corporate event.

Now you know more about how to choose a corporate hospitality venue, where will you hold your corporate event?
