Top Five Questions Generally Asked to a Banguet Room Manager

By Seomul Evans


Events have importance in our life whether it is a wedding event, business gathering, or anniversary, There are many things that need to be considered before arranging an event. Looking for a banquet room is one of them. In order to get the best venue regarding the event, we need to create a list of questions that we should discuss with the venue manager. Some of the most important questions are:

How Long Have You Been Doing This Business?

Asking this question that whether the business has been under the same ownership since day one or changed hands more often than not help to understand the stability as well as persistency of the business. Moreover, it helps to form an opinion about the quality of service the business offers.

Can the Facility Accommodate All Guests?

You should bear in mind that you find a banquet room where you can comfortably adjust all guests. Generally, rooms come in different sizes and with different amenities. Therefore, be certain that the room is big enough to accommodate all the people, including amenities like food catering and multimedia equipments. Furthermore, make sure that there is a parking facility to accommodate vehicles coming to the venue. If parking is provided, then ask about the security officers for safety purpose of your vehicles.

Do You Offer Bar and Catering Services?

Food and drink has always been an important part of any event because it plays a vital role to make an event successful. A banquet room may not offer a catering service, plus forbid any outside food and access to their kitchen area. Therefore, get the information regarding their catering policy and compare them with other banquet rental facilities so that you can get a clear picture. You can customize the menu according to your desire. If you are going to invite kids to the events make sure that kid meals are served as well. Also, ask if there's a free tasting to ensure food quality.

What Comes with the Rental Fee?

You should always be careful about the cost and the things going to be included in the cost. Some facilities charge an all-inclusive per guest cost, however, other charge a flat rate rental fee for the space alone and separate costs for food, drink, music, etc. After the event, you must review the breakdown of cost to ensure that you are not paying for any unused item like un-served menu, unopened bottles of drinks etc. Furthermore, discuss regarding their cancellation policy, refund policy, mode of payment and overtime fee before paying the required initial deposit.

Do You Provide Venue Staff During the Event?

A sufficiently staffed event will assure you of enough manpower to help control and maintain the ambience of the affair. Likewise, this will ensure you that you'll have enough venue staff to help you from the preparation stage up to the after-party. With this notion in mind, ask the banquet room manager about other bookings that share the same date and time with your event. If yes, then you may have to share resources like parking, restrooms and venue staff with other parties.

With the help of the internet you can get a lot of information about many different event venues, it can't provide you with certain specification, but it can be helpful anyway. To make sure your event goes smoothly and properly, you need to speak with the banquet room manager to get straight answers to your questions.
