So, you've got a party on the horizon, perhaps a post-wedding get together, surprise 50th birthday or school reunion, and you have been put in charge of booking a suitable venue. Don't panic, if you haven't done this before it is not as scary as it sounds, but you do need to do your homework if you want to make sure everything goes perfectly on the day of the celebration. In this short article we will advise you on the factors you'll need to consider before booking function rooms Surrey.
First you need to think about who you will be inviting. Some venues do not allow under 18s or under 21s in whilst others do not cater for children so you will have to bear this in mind when looking at potential function rooms in Surrey.
Secondly you will have to consider access. Can your guests locate the venue easily? Is there wheelchair access and disabled toilets for any guests that may require these? Will guests with limited mobility have to climb stairs or is a lift provided? If you are concerned about the mobility of your guests or that those who have to travel long distances may not be able to find the venue, you may be best booking a ground floor function room that is centrally located.
The next thing to consider is catering. All events usually involve some kind of food and drink but what you choose should be dependent upon the time of day and length of your event. Evening celebrations will almost certainly need bar facilities and you could choose to compliment drinks with either a sit down meal or buffet. Sit down meals tend to be more expensive per head and they do take up more space, hence reduce the number of guests your chosen function rooms Surrey will hold. Buffets offer a less expensive option and with the choice of hot and cold food and prices based on the number of items you choose, they are suitable for any budget.
Fourthly you will need to think about your budget. There is no point going over budget to book function rooms in Surrey that will hold twice as many people as you need to invite as this is just wasting money and runs the risk that your small party will rattle around in a big space. It is better to hire a room that caters for roughly the same amount of people as you expect to come along, as most events suffer from some 'no-shows' on the day.
Once you have decided on these 4 important factors you should be in a better position to say 'yes' or 'no' to the potential function rooms Surrey you have considered and will be one step closer to booking the perfect venue for your celebrations.
