So you’re planning an event and you have the details figured out: your guest count is finalized, your menu is picked, and your decor is planned, but have you thought about the banquet hall layout? It’s actually one of the most important details of your event!
Banquet hall layout and design impacts everything about your event, from how your guests move through the space to how memorable your event really is. And here at St. Joseph’s Banquet & Conference Centre in Oakville, we take extra care when helping you determine how best to plan your event layout. We understand just how crucial it is to the success of your event!
What to consider when planning the layout and design of your next event:
- Do you want your guests to move through the space in a certain way?
- Are the important areas easily accessible or visible, like the bar and stage?
- Do you have enough space to do the activities you have planned?
When it’s your first time hosting an event, or your first time working with a new venue, it can be difficult to understand what kind of layout you need. Working with an experienced team to plan your event is the best way to ensure that the layout for your event is perfect for your needs.
Consider a corporate event with 300 guests in attendance and a buffet style dinner. How would you best set up the buffet area to ensure flow, no bottlenecking, and avoiding long lines? Or think about a bridal shower where you need space for games, photo areas, gift drop off, and enough room around each guest table for a plated lunch service. What’s the best way for guests to move through the space? Or even consider a large wedding where everyone wants to see the newlyweds, access the dance floor, but also have a clear path to the bar and cocktail area. A poorly planned layout will make your event unpleasant for your guests, and even for yourself as the host.
