If you want to lower the price further, we recommend adopting some of the following strategies into your venue search:

• Plan your event on a weekday or during off-peak hours.
• Ballrooms in areas further away from the city centre can be more affordable.
• Look for ballrooms in alternative venues, such as hotels, convention centres, or even historical buildings.
• If some amenities aren't crucial, prioritise basic features like a dance floor and parking to keep costs down.
• Don't be afraid to negotiate, especially if you're booking for a longer duration or have additional requests.

As you start planning your event, it’s essential to prioritise the amenities that are essential for your event. Key features generally include a spacious, pristine dance floor, a quality sound system, adjustable lighting, an audio/visual setup with a projector and screen, and accessible restrooms. Also, a venue with ample parking, either on-site or nearby, is always a good idea – your guests will be grateful.

You can also choose a venue that offers other amenities that can improve your event, such as an elevated platform or stage for speeches, presentations, or live performances; a kitchen or prep area for serving food and beverages; and tables and chairs that are included in the hire. 

It’s a great idea to always prioritise the amenities that are most important for your event—for instance, if you are getting married, you might need a stage and catering facilities, or if you are organising a West Coast Swing dance competition may need a specialised dance floor. If you are planning a corporate anniversary or sales kickoff, you may require a prep kitchen, but not in-house catering. If you can really focus on the things that will elevate your event, you will be able to narrow down your choice quite quickly.
