Perhaps a loved one’s milestone birthday is coming up that needs special attention or there’s an anniversary, retirement, or other occasion to celebrate. Your selected event space naturally plays a big role in the celebration since it helps set the tone and provides visually pleasing surroundings for everyone to enjoy. Here are tips for choosing the perfect space for your big event. 

How to Pick the Ideal Event Space

1. Type of Event

The occasion’s theme is key to the event space selection, as you wouldn’t choose a rustic setting for a formal wedding or a minimalistic, modern venue for a ‘50s-themed birthday party. Some venues have a studio-heavy appearance and feel and come with assorted “sets” for creating highly customized events. For example, if you need a venue that functions as your engagement party venue and engagement photo shoot set, a large studio with tables, chairs, and plenty of backdrop options, such as huge flower and feather arrangements, could be the ideal solution. 

2. Location and Parking 

The venue you select should be in relative proximity to most of the people on your guest list and offer decent parking options. If you live in the city, for example, a studio located in a less-busty area avoids the hustle and bustle of the city. In terms of parking, keep the guest count in mind. You need enough parking possibilities to accommodate everyone, in addition to a large enough venue. 

3. Lighting

Since special occasions typically call for photos, an event space with ample natural lighting makes capturing images easy over one with harsh, unflattering overhead lights. A space with a wall of windows is especially ideal, since it provides lots of natural light throughout the day. If the venue features a wide variety of furnishings for photo and event comfort purposes, consider using them to create unique images. For extra-professional-looking photos, bring your own flood lights and reflectors.
