Every piece holds another piece up and when they line up it’s perfect. The venue is one of the biggest pieces that can balance out and save other pieces from falling. But what exactly makes a venue perfect for your event? For corporate meetings, weddings, or charity galas, these top 10 venue must-haves will help you lock in success! 1. Location, Location, Location The first rule of real estate applies to event venues too. Choose a spot that’s easy to find, close to public transport, and has ample parking. Bonus points if it’s in a trendy neighborhood that guests will be excited to visit. BDC Pro Tip: Check out the surrounding area for restaurants, hotels, and attractions to keep your guests entertained before and after the event. 2. The Right Atmosphere Your venue sets the tone for the entire event. A rustic barn might not scream "corporate excellence," just as a sterile boardroom won’t fit a whimsical wedding. BDC Pro Tip: Consider the vibe you’re going for. Does the venue enhance your theme, or will you need to spend time and money transforming it? 3. Flexibility with Layouts A great venue offers flexibility. You should be able to arrange seating, stages, and dance floors to fit your needs. No one wants to be stuck in a venue that’s rigid about floor plans. Some venues even charge extra if you move around too much furniture, so ask ahead of time. BDC Pro Tip: Ask if the venue has movable walls, customizable lighting, and various furniture options to help bring your vision to life. 4. Tech-Savvy Amenities In today’s world, tech can make or break an event. Look for venues with strong Wi-Fi, AV equipment, and enough power outlets to keep your tech-savvy attendees happy. It’s especially nice if they have a specific contact who will be on hand to help with any last-minute questions. BDC Pro Tip: Test the Wi-Fi strength before booking—especially if you’re planning a hybrid event, live-streaming, or digital ticket check-in. 5. A Dedicated Point of Contact A venue with a dedicated event coordinator is a game-changer. They know the ins and outs of the space and can troubleshoot problems before you even realize they exist. BDC Pro Tip: Build a relationship with this person. Their insider knowledge can save you time, money, and headaches. 6. Catering Options That Wow Let’s face it—food is a highlight of any event. Your venue should either have a top-notch catering team or allow you to bring in your own caterer. BDC Pro Tip: Ask about menu customization and dietary accommodations. A gluten-free option here and a vegan dish there can make all the difference for guests. 7. Adequate Restrooms (Yes, Really!) It’s not glamorous, but restroom availability is crucial. No one wants long bathroom lines at a formal event. BDC Pro Tip: Make sure the restrooms are clean, well-stocked, and easily accessible. If the venue has attendants to maintain them during the event, even better! 8. Ample Parking (or Easy Transport Options) Guests should feel relaxed when they arrive—not stressed from circling the block for parking. If parking is limited, ensure there are clear alternatives, like ride-share drop-off zones. BDC Pro Tip: If the venue is in a busy area, consider arranging a shuttle service to make transportation seamless. 9. Accessibility for All Your venue should be welcoming to everyone, including those with disabilities. Check for ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms. BDC Pro Tip: Don’t forget about acoustics for guests with hearing difficulties and clear signage for those who might need assistance navigating the space. 10. Backup Plans (Because Life Happens) Even the best-planned events can hit a snag. Whether it’s a sudden rainstorm or a tech failure, your venue should have contingency plans. BDC Pro Tip: Ask about indoor/outdoor options, generator backups, and on-call staff to handle unexpected hiccups. Choosing the right venue can feel overwhelming, but focusing on these must-haves will make your decision easier—and your event more successful.

From conferences to weddings, our BIG DEAL clients are seeking ways to make their gatherings more sustainable. Fortunately, there are plenty of simple yet effective practices you can adopt to reduce your event’s carbon footprint. Here are 10 easy sustainable event practices that you can implement to minimize environmental impact without compromising on the quality of your event.  Digital Invitations E-invites’ moment started long before the recent push for green events. Convenient and cost-effective, digital invitations reduce waste and mailbox clutter. Not only do digital invitations significantly reduce paper waste, digital platforms allow for easier RSVP tracking and communication with guests. Venue Selection When shopping for venues, prioritize venues that have sustainability initiatives in place. Look for venues with LEED certification, renewable energy sources, or a commitment to waste reduction. By supporting sustainable venues, you're contributing to a larger movement towards environmental responsibility. Reusable Decorations Instead of purchasing disposable decorations, opt for reusable options that can be used for future events or repurposed in other ways. At BIG DEAL, we invite clients to “shop” our stock of complimentary rental decor items. Potted plants that can be sent home with guests or auctioned off, fabric banners, or LED lighting to create a festive atmosphere without generating unnecessary waste. Green Transportation When venue shopping, consider proximity to your public transportation options and minimize the distance guests will travel to attend. Encourage attendees to carpool, use public transportation, or bike to your event. Offer incentives such as preferred parking for carpoolers or bike racks for cyclists. By reducing the number of vehicles on the road, you'll decrease carbon emissions and promote sustainable transportation alternatives. Zero Waste Catering Work with catering companies that specialize in zero-waste practices. Opt for locally sourced, organic foods and beverages, and ensure that all serving materials are compostable or recyclable. By minimizing food waste and single-use plastics, you'll significantly reduce your event's environmental footprint.  Provide Plant-Based Food Options Using plant-based catering for events can significantly reduce the environmental impact by lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with animal agriculture and minimizing water usage compared to traditional meat-based menus. Vegetarian and vegan guests appreciate having options to choose from at events, where they sometimes feel excluded. Waste Disposal Stations Set up clearly labeled recycling and compost bins throughout your event space to encourage proper waste disposal. Work with your venue or waste management company to ensure that waste is sorted correctly and diverted from landfills whenever possible. Donate Leftovers Coordinate with a local food bank or shelter to donate any leftover food from the event rather than letting it go to waste. Leftover decor can be reused at future events or auctioned off or sent home with guests to use and display at home. Local nursing homes and hospitals often appreciate donations of floral arrangements or live plants. Sustainable Swag If your event involves gift bags or other giveaways, opt for recycled, recyclable, and reusable items. Ideas we’ve used include:
End-to-End Mobile Solutions By leveraging mobile apps for event planning, registration, and communication, organizers can eliminate the need for paper-based processes, such as printed agendas and tickets, thus reducing paper waste. Mobile apps can also streamline logistics, allowing attendees to access event information, schedules, and updates in real-time, minimizing the need for printed materials and physical signage. Additionally, mobile ticketing and check-in solutions can streamline entry processes, reducing queuing times and minimizing the use of paper tickets or wristbands. By implementing these 10 easy sustainable event practices, you can significantly reduce the environmental impact of your gatherings while creating memorable experiences for attendees – and even saving money. Whether you're planning a corporate conference, wedding, or community fundraiser, small changes can add up to make a big difference. BIG DEAL Company looks forward to working together to promote sustainability in the events industry and pave the way for a greener future. Free downloadable:

Here are our BIG DEAL Company team’s essential tips for venues looking to contract with vendors that will help ensure seamless and successful events. Short on time? Download our short-and-sweet “cheat sheet.”
Before reaching out to any vendors, take time to consider your needs and expectations. Brainstorm services that would be helpful to your clients and that would enhance your venue offerings. Have a clear vision before initiating conversations with vendors. Research potential vendors in your area. Read reviews and check portfolios before reaching out – this background knowledge also prepares you in the event a vendor initiates a partnership conversation with you.  Check References Contact past clients of the vendors you're considering. Ask about their experiences, the vendor's reliability, and how well they handled challenges. This will give you valuable insights into the vendor's professionalism and ability to deliver under various circumstances. Online reviews are a good starting point. Verify Licenses and Permits Ensure that all selected vendors have the necessary licenses and insurance coverage. This is especially important for vendors providing services such as catering, audio-visual support, and transportation. It protects both parties in case of any unforeseen incidents. Double-check that licenses and permits meet not only industry, but local, standards. Review Portfolios and Samples Examine potential vendor portfolios to assess the quality and style. Make sure their work aligns with your vision and the standards of your venue/clients. You might even attend vendor showcases and trade shows or request a private demo for services like entertainment. Communication and Responsiveness Establish open and clear communication from the beginning. Evaluate how promptly vendors respond to your inquiries. Effective communication is crucial for successful collaboration and helps prevent misunderstandings. Establishing strong relationships with reliable vendors can be mutually beneficial. Contractual Agreements/Negotiation Review contracts meticulously. Ensure all terms, conditions, and services are clearly outlined. Pay attention to payment schedules, payment methods, cancellation policies, and any other additional costs. A well-written contract protects both parties and minimizes the risk of misunderstandings. While negotiating terms and prices is common, be fair and realistic in negotiations – the ultimate goal is a partnership that benefits the venue and vendor. Main Point of Contact Clearly define who your main point of contact will be, their contact information, and emergency details should they not be able to follow through on their work. Choose a main point of contact with decision-making rights and who passes your evaluation of responsiveness. Remember to regularly review and update your vendor recommendations to stay competitive and meet the evolving needs of your clients. Download our Cheat Sheet for Venues Contracting Vendors and keep it handy as you navigate the partnership process.
