The festive season is coming up fast, and that means it's almost time to celebrate with your friends and colleagues. So whether you're planning an end of the year family celebration or the ultimate end of the year event with colleagues, it's time to start looking at event spaces in Melbourne.
The right space is one of the first decisions you'll need to make when planning an event. And this decision can either make the rest of the planning stressful or a snap. So, here's what you need to know about planning your festive event in Melbourne's premier event space.
What to Look for When Choosing Event Spaces in Melbourne
There are lots of things to consider when planning your festive season event. Here's how to enjoy stress-free function room hire in Melbourne:
Choose your Dates Early
There are lots of parties and celebrations around the end of the year, so it is best to choose your dates early so you know you'll get the ideal location.
Consider the Space
Choosing a suitable event space is pivotal. The right space will not only set a mood and atmosphere for your event. It should also comfortably accommodate your guests rather than leave them feeling cramped and unhappy. Choosing a suitable event space is pivotal. The right space will not only set a mood and atmosphere for your event. It should also comfortably accommodate your guests rather than leave them feeling cramped. Enjoy lavish spaces filled with natural light and uninterrupted views, you and your guests also have the option to flow out onto the riverfront during your event, indulging in the warm weather and longer days which the summer months have to offer.
Event planning
Chances are, things get pretty busy at these times of the year, and you are probably not looking to add a professional event planner to your resume. So, it is recommended to consider an event with its own onsite Events Team to sort out those tiny details you need to get right to make your event run smoothly. At Pearl Riverfront, you can rest assured that your event is in expert hands with a dedicated Events Team and AV specialist on-site to deliver your event, seamlessly.
Look for Flexibility
Your event venue must be flexible enough to accommodate your wants and your needs. This can include:
● Different menu choices to accommodate a range of requirements, budgets, and times of day
● A range of festive packages so you can find one that suits
● Different space options for any size group
● The ability to style the space to suit your theme, the time of year, and the event
● Styling assistance when and if you need it
● Stay packages just in case your guests don't want to have to go home after a magical night
All of these features will allow you to create an event that suits you, your guests, and the season.
COVID-19 Safety
The last thing you want to do is worry about COVID-19 during the festive season. That's why you need to know that your event venue is up to date with all the latest government advice and guidelines, and hopefully has a range of options available in case these standards change.
So, make sure that your event venue has:
● Capacity guidelines
● Rigorous cleaning procedures
● Breakout spaces for additional room
This will give you peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy your festive celebration knowing that there is a plan if things change.
