Tips on Choosing Corporate Function Venues

Selecting a corporate function venue can sometimes be a long and difficult process. That’s because there are many factors that need to be considered, before you can make the final decision.

So here are six tips on choosing your next corporate function venue that should make your selection much easier:

1. Is the venue large enough? Not all corporate event venues will have sufficient space to accommodate very large conferees. Many can only take small to medium sized groups, usually 50 or less attendees. The venue you select will depend on your numbers, but if you are considering a weekend conference, then you need to ask about accommodation as well.

2. Does the venue have enough accommodation? If you need overnight accommodation, it is always easier to house everyone at the conference venue. Otherwise you have to make arrangements at more than one establishment and then organise transport between the venue and accommodation as well.

3.  Do they provide catering? Clearly you will need catering, even if you are only organising a day conference, so ensuring that the corporate function venue can provide meals and snacks for your attendees is very important.

4. Is the venue in a nice location? This is quite often not even a consideration when people are selecting a corporate event venue, but if you can find a venue that has everything you need and is in a lovely location, then you have found the nirvana of conference function venues.

5. How far away is the venue? If your venue is too far away, then people might be reluctant to attend. So selecting a corporate function venue that is only an hour or two away from your place of business, will encourage more people to attend, particularly if the location is inviting.

6. Do they have appropriate business facilities? This is very important, but is only one of the factors you need to consider. Most venues will have the appropriate IT equipment, whiteboards, internet connectivity and other equipment you might need – just be sure to check before you book.

So if you are searching for a corporate event venue that ticks all of these boxes, it is worthwhile checking Woodlands of Marburg - a first class venue in 250 acres of sweeping grounds near Brisbane.
