Location, location, location is what real estate agents emphasise to their investors and house hunters. It’s very similar to holding a fantastic function that will be remembered for all the right reasons.
Whether you are celebrating a wedding or special birthday or it’s a work function, it’s important to firstly choose the right place to have the function.
Here are just a few things to consider:
Are your guests and attendees prepared to travel a fair distance to the event? Many guests choose not to attend or cancel at the last minute if they feel it’s a hassle to get to the location so keeping it local is often the best.
If it’s in winter, a cosy vibe is essential, as you don’t want your guests out in the cold - literally. Check that the function room or outdoor area is warm and inviting.
A great view. Many people enjoy a view whether it is of the ocean or nature because it’s a talking point and will keep them entertained while waiting for their food or speakers.

Know your limitations. Consider all the practical details before committing to the event.
Budget blowout. Decide what you want to spend and work with the function coordinator to make it happen. Be realistic - amazing flowers, table settings and backdrops aren’t cheap.
Clear purpose. If it’s a corporate function, have several good reasons for attendees to make an effort to be at the event. This can include freebies, great food, a popular guest speaker and good food.
Online registration. Make it easy for guests and attendees by offering an easy online registration. For corporate events, offer early bird registration.
Check other events. Don’t clash with another wedding, an important industry event or a footy final.
