Top Tips When Looking For An Awards Venue

The popularity of an awards night is unquestionable.The Oscars and the BAFTAs are still the most exciting nights of the film industry's social calendar and The BRITs and MTV Music Awards get beamed to millions of viewers across the world.But it doesn't stop there.Companies wishing to raise their profile amongst their industry peers or wishing to say a special thanks to their customers and employees are increasingly choosing to stage their own version of a red carpet event.

London has become a sought after location to hold an awards ceremony.Companies are seeking the services of a London Venue Finder to get them the perfect venue for their particular event and with so many good venues in the capital the need to identify the best and most appropriate has never been so great.

More and more companies are looking for an exciting and unusual venue, with a flexible and unique approach to holding a function or event.The role a London Venue Finder plays in this process has changed significantly in the past few years as a result.Now there is not just the need to find a venue that can accommodate several hundred people but other requirements that may have seemed completely off the wall a few years ago are now the norm and unusual requests are commonplace.

These demands are also separating the wheat from the chaff.If a request is turned down then it is more a reflection on the organizer than the customer or client.The best London Venue Finders will never turn down a request and will go out of their way to accommodate even the most difficult requests; themed venues, special guests, fancy dress, special menus, interior design and facilities like swimming pools and gyms are all now as much a part of planning an event as the color of the tablecloths and the choice between red or white wine.

The customer's need are paramount and any venue under consideration needs to reflect those needs.It would be inappropriate for some companies to hold an awards ceremony in a nightclub and a quieter or more sedate venue would be better.Likewise some companies need somewhere a bit livelier and require something that doesn't resemble the local library!

There are three areas to consider when searching for the best possible venue; location, facilities and size.Getting the right combination of these three factors will ensure that any awards ceremony has the right combination of entertainment, comfort, safety and usefulness.

Location - Probably the most important factor as it can involve transport considerations, accommodation and opening hours.The location can also be a reflection on the type of company who are having the ceremony.A good London Venue Finder will find and appropriate location that reflects the company.

Facilities - Obviously the biggest requirement under facilities is disabled access.Any good London Venue Finder will not even consider promoting a venue without such facilities but there could be other requirements.Many award ceremonies involve the sports and leisure industry.They may require fitness facilities for before and after the ceremony.

Size - It's important to get a venue that is suitable to the number of people attending.A good London Venue Finder will be able to offer several different options so no matter how many or how few people you are catering for you will not feel that you have been limited in your choice.
