Questions to ask when booking your Leicester venue

When searching for event venues some people can become too excitable when they find the perfect Leicester venue and forget to ask vital questions. Here is a list of 6 questions you should ask before signing on the dotted line.

1. Is my date available?
Before attending any Leicester venue viewings you need to have you event date confirmed in your mind.
There is no point in setting your heart on one particular Leicester venue if it is not available the date you need it. It is best to ask this question before you arrange a viewing to prevent wasting your time.

2. Will any other events be taking place on the same day?
If you wish to hire the entire venue for your event you will need to ensure that no other event shall be taking place on the same day.
However if you shall only be using this particular venue for half the day or will only require one specific room for the entire event then sharing the venue will not be problematic.
Ensure that you the members of staff from your Leicester venue fully understand your requirements for your event.

3. How many parking spaces do they provide?
If many of your guests are travelling by car then you will need to consider where they are going to park whilst attending your event.
If the venue does not provide adequate car parking then you shall have to research where they will be able to park.

4. Are you able to bring in external caterers?
Some venues in Leicester only deal with their in-house caterers and so you do not need to hunt for a catering company.
However, if you wish to use a particular catering service then you may need to do some negotiation with the venue or even pay a small fee. This fee is sometimes a set rate or can depend upon how many guests you have attending.

5. Do they hold an alcohol licence?
This is often a deciding factor for individuals searching for a venue in Leicester. Obviously is the venue does not hold a license then you will not be able to provide alcohol of any sort at your event.

6. Are you able to provide your own decorations?
If your venue is needed to hold a wedding reception or party you may wish to decorate the rooms/venue in a specific way, however not all Leicester venues allow you to do this.

However, if this is the case, the Leicester venue will provide their own decorations that should be very suitable.
