A large open floor plan means you can be creative with your layout. Many venues will have tried and tested arrangements that will make the most of the space and are most effective for catering purposes. Always chat with the venue manager about their suggestions for the ideas you have for your function. The Tagvenue team has put together a list of event seating arrangements to give you some inspiration.
A great question! Many venues in Melbourne do offer security for events. This will either be at an extra charge or included in a function hire package. When it comes to large ballroom hire venues, which obviously attract a lot of guests, having security personnel on hand gives you peace of mind and ensures that your event runs smoothly.
Your Guide to Hiring Ballrooms in Melbourne
Melbourne is a glitzy metropolis known for its striking plazas, stunning skyscrapers, world-class restaurants, and amazing urban landscapes, but no venue in the city is as glamorous as the ballrooms. It is essential to know what you are dealing with in advance if you are taking on the significant duty of managing an event, such as a gala, awards ceremony, ball, or any other type of major celebration that needs to be held in a ballroom. Check out our event planning hints and tips we have put together for hiring the perfect ballroom venue in Melbourne.
- Have a few dates in mind – You may find yourself in a difficult position if you have found your perfect majestic ballroom venue, only to be told that it’s not available on your preferred date! To avoid disappointment, make sure to book way ahead of time if you are set on a specific date or be flexible with your dates. Would you rather change dates or settle for your second choice of ballroom venue? The choice is really easy when you put things into perspective.
- Get your invites out early – If you’re going for a grand affair, of course, you want to make sure you have a good turnout. So, as soon as you have a date and venue, don’t waste any time getting those invites out to your guests. If you aren’t sure of the finer details such as time and dress code, then sending out a “Save the date” allows guests to put your event on their calendar while you finalise everything.
- Make a list of what you will need – Planning a large event can be extremely daunting, so always be prepared with the help of carefully made checklists! If you write down everything you will need for the event, it’s easier to discuss these details with the venue to get clarity on what they are able to provide and what you will organise yourself. You can never be over-prepared or too organised when it comes to event planning! Better be safe than sorry!
- Draw a budget and stick to it- It is vital to have a budget in place as soon as you begin planning these kinds of big celebrations. Determine your requirements for the location, décor, food, beverages, and entertainment, and ensure that they are appropriate to your budget. This can help you avoid getting swept up in the event planning of such a large event. Also, it is always good to put some funds aside in case of emergencies.
