How to choose the perfect function room for your event in Los Angeles

Before you look into specific venues for your event, there are a few key things you should figure out to make the whole process fast and easy. 

• Budget – First of all, think about the financial side of your event. What funds do you have for renting the venue? Besides venue rental fees, don’t forget to factor in things such as catering or party supplies when planning your budget. Once you’re clear on the numbers, use Tagvenue’s filters to browse function rooms that fit your price range.
• Number of guests – Estimate how many people you’re expecting to show up at your event. When you have that information, it’s easy to also filter venues by capacity. You can even look for spaces with specific seating layouts.
• Location – In which area of Los Angeles would you like to organize your event? Are you looking for a venue in a bustling neighborhood such as West Hollywood or Downtown LA, or would you prefer a quieter place, for example Brentwood or Pasadena? Think about the surroundings – skyscrapers, palm trees or ocean views? Consider the location’s accessibility via car or public transport.

Now that we’ve tackled the very basics of event planning, it’s time to move on to the specifics.

• Facilities and equipment – Think about all the things you’re going to need on the day of your event. Kitchen facilities? TV screens? Projectors? Make a list of all the essentials and keep it handy while browsing function rooms. You can also use Tagvenue’s filters to narrow your search.
• Catering – Will you be serving food and drinks during your event? If so, are you looking for a venue with in-house catering or do you already have some external caterers in mind? Maybe you want to bring your own food and beverages? Whichever option you choose, make sure to check the venue’s policy on catering. Some venues charge extra fees, such as a corkage fee for BYO alcohol, while others offer all-inclusive packages that cover the costs of catering for each individual guest.
• Atmosphere – Look for a space whose mood matches the overall vibe of your event. We recommend scheduling a viewing to see your chosen room in person and feel out the atmosphere for yourself.
• Accessibility – If you’re hosting any guests with disabilities, don’t forget to check the venue’s accessibility. Your guests should be able to comfortably move around the space, sit at the table, use the toilets, etc.
• Accommodation – Are any of your guests staying overnight and need a place to sleep? Pick a venue whose surrounding area offers some accommodation options. Or better yet, consider booking a function room at a hotel.
