Know All Your Requirements
As you begin your search for the perfect place for a Quinceanera celebration, know your criteria for what you want. To better understand it, ask yourself the following questions.
Do I want an indoor or outdoor celebration?
How many guests am I inviting to my event?
Does the site facilitate decoration that matches the ambiance of traditional quince dresses I will wear on this special day? (You can’t wear a princess ball gown for a boho-inspired decorated site, right?)
Do I want any in-house services along with the venue?
What is my lighting preference? Do I want a soft, whimsical feel or a bold lighting option like neon lights?
Know How Much To Spend
After you know your specifications for selecting the right venue, another important consideration must be how much you are willing to spend on it.
Apart from the charges for your venue booking, you might have to bear additional expenses, including security deposits, taxes, etc. In addition, as you define the budget for your venue, learn about cancellation and overtime charges.
Whenever booking a venue, it is best that you have different options, can compare prices, and get the best deals for you. And as we discuss the budget plans here, never hesitate to negotiate and grab the best deals with the venue.
Services and Amenities
As you begin to choose a Quince venue for yourself, know if any services and amenities are provided with the venue booking. If you research well, you might grab a good deal.
For instance, a lot of venues provide in-house catering services. If not in-house services, many venues provide many services in partnerships, or at least you get a few reliable references.
Imagine getting suggestions for a store that has a splendid collection of dresses for quinceanera, great isn’t it?
Invest Time for the Research
Once you know your specifications, you can begin your search for the venue. As you search for the right venue, you have numerous online and offline options.
In addition, you can grab more information about different venues from both online and offline sources. Visit their business profiles, websites, and reviews to understand how good their services are.
Visit Your Venue
Once you have cleared off the checklist, you have one last thing left: Visit your venue! You at least want to have an idea of what you are looking for on such an important day.
In addition, if your venue has catering or event management services along with the venue, you can get an insight into how efficient their services are. This way, you can also check if the venue matches the overall ambiance of your Quinceanera theme.
As you visit your venue, here are some things you should not miss checking:
- Check if the venue has space capacity to accommodate your desired number of guests.
- You want your guests to have convenience as they attend your event. This mandates the presence of amenities like parking, easy accessibility, network connectivity, etc.
- Ask if you get a contract flexibility with the reservations. We never imagined canceled events for a whole 2 years during the COVID outbreak, right? So much can happen, making contract flexibility an important consideration.
- In addition, also enquire if there are any time limits for loud music during the event.
