Reception Hall Rental For An Elegant Celebration

When you're looking to host an elegant party or celebration, renting a reception hall is the best way to go. Whether you're looking for a blank canvas room or one that is already elegantly designed, there are several different venues to choose from and environments to create the perfect event. When you're planning your wedding, anniversary party, or corporate gala, there are a few things to consider when creating a formal place to celebrate.

Design
When creating your event, you'll want to decorate the reception hall to suit the evening's festivities. You'll have to consider the overall color scheme and design that will perfectly set the tone. Darker colors are great for a dramatic look. Softer colors are better for day events. This will translate to table settings, floral arrangements, and drapery or stage settings. This can sometimes be the most difficult part of the plan. Once these options have been settled on, you can go ahead and finalize details so that there is a cohesive design throughout the hall.

Catering
When you're hosting an elegant event in a reception hall, you'll also need to consider catering. What foods will you offer? You have many options on how you'd like foods served as well. You can choose whether to have seated dining or buffet service. You may also want to have hors d'œuvrs served by waitstaff. Will you be serving alcohol? You will have to choose between an open bar setting that allows your guests to drink at the leisure or a cash bar which requires guests to pay for alcoholic drinks. These are all considerations. Working with a caterer, you'll be able to figure out what best suits the evening and your catering budget.

Power Requirements
You may want to consider adding music or entertainment to your evening or a presentation of some sort. Whether you choose a live band or music played through a PA system, it will add to the overall environment you're looking to create. Make sure that when you're speaking to the reception hall event planner that you have ample power or outlets to be able to set the room up to your liking. If you need other items like a projector and screen or Internet capability, these are all things you should set up well in advance so everything goes smoothly on the day of the event.

When creating your event, you can handle these tasks on your own or have an event planner help introduce you to different ideas, color schemes, place settings, and more. Some times the reception hall you are working with will have an in-house event planner that can help you choose from different options they have to offer. You can also have a professional event planner help you plan the space and work with the reception hall's staff in order to pull off your event perfectly.
