Securing a venue early is essential to finalise the menu, decor, and seating arrangements. While you might have numerous ideas for your event, choosing and booking the venue should be your first step. Speak with the venue manager to understand what they offer and how they can help you plan your dream event. After shortlisting potential venues, secure your venue for major events like weddings at least a year in advance. A six-month lead time is advisable for corporate Christmas parties and end-of-year parties. For more casual events, such as a birthday dinner or a group hangout, booking one to three months in advance should suffice.
