What do you do if you just got engaged, but you’re quarantining? What if it’s time for you to plan your bridal shower, but you can’t leave your house? When you’re planning an event, but you can’t physically go to the venue, you need to get creative! Here’s what you can do:
Reach out!
This is the perfect opportunity for you to do your research on banquet halls in your area. Reach out to event venues near you and get their pricing on social event menus or wedding packages. See how you can customize the packages that these banquet halls offer for your party. Bonus tip: see if they offer deals on doing both your wedding and bridal shower with them!
Take a (virtual) tour!
Since you can’t see the halls in person, be sure to check out the venue’s virtual tour to give you a walk-through of the event spaces. Check out our virtual tour for St. Joseph’s Banquet & Conference Centre in Oakville here. This is a great way to get a feel for how your wedding or social event can look.
Check social media!
When you’re finally able to host your party, you’ll want an Instagram-worthy event. Check the venue’s social media pages to see how their parties can look, and what other clients have done in the past. Get some inspiration from their feeds! What better way to know what’s possible than to see photos from real events?
Read reviews!
One last thing you should do is read the banquet hall’s reviews. See what guests and clients are saying about hosting or attending a party at that venue. It’s one thing to have the banquet hall tell you they’re great, but it’s another thing to see former clients tell you they had a fantastic experience. Check out their Google and Facebook pages for reviews! And be sure to leave one after you’ve hosted your party!
