There are hotel, holiday resort and private venues that can be hired for an occasion in the UK. Selecting the best venue depends on what is the venue required for? For a wedding reception, a semiformal venue is preferred and for a business meeting, a venue with minimal disturbance would be preferred.

Therefore, judging excellent venues would depend on the function that is to be held. But, there are certain basic requirements for an excellent venue, regardless of the occasion. The first requirement of a venue is that it should be easy to locate and reach, both by private and public transport. The second major requirement is that there should be enough parking spaces for the guests.

The seating arrangements should be well thought out to accommodate all the guests, and the seating should be comfortable. The heating and air conditioning should be in excellent working condition to make the atmosphere comfortable. If it is a business meeting, there will be a requirement for excellent multimedia facilities at the venue. The hall in which the meeting is taking pace should not be disturbed by external noise. There should also be a business centre with internet and fax facilities. A podium is a necessary requirement for a business meeting, and the venue must have an excellent audio system.

In any venue, there should be ample facilities to cater for people with physical disabilities. The catering should be of top quality and all snacks, refreshments and meals should be served on time.

The staffs at the venue should be well versed in handling all types of events, and they should be capable and willing to handle last minute changes. The staff must be courteous and helpful and should always be on hand throughout the event. The event staff at a venue can make or mar any event and therefore, it is vitally important that they are well-trained in handling events.

Events are also held in private homes and estates, but there again, the event staffs have to be efficient. When a holiday resort is hired for an event, the atmosphere is more relaxed and friendly. The reason why business houses hire a holiday resort for an event is to give their employees a working holiday. Generally, the families of the employees are invited to these events. There should be enough activities at the resort for the families to indulge in while the event is taking place.

There are several excellent event venues in the UK, and most of them have sufficient experience in organizing different types of events. Event venues are rated like hotels, and you can search for event venues and check out their star ratings. Of course, the charges of popular venues will be much higher than those that are not very popular. But, you can still find a venue which will suit your budget.

Before selecting a venue, it is best to draw up a checklist and visit the venues that you have shortlisted and get a feel of the facilities that they offer.
