Churches can
host small and medium and, in a few instances, large events (and not
just weddings).
Depending on the type of denomination, the worship space may also be
used for meetings, seminars, training, conferences,
and even dinners and dances. Additionally, most churches
will have some form of community hall, smaller meeting rooms and a kitchen.
The rental fees are often on a sliding scale, depending on the type
of organization holding the event
The facilities
in some churches
are luxurious, while others are rather basic. Tables, chairs and even
tableware are usually included in the rental. There are rarely any issues
with bringing in volunteers or outside staffing for the event. In older
churches the power outlets may not always be up to modern audiovisual
and computer requirements. office revenues normally bring in during
the duration of the event. Rental
may or may not include the venue’s staff (who, if included, will
only perform their usual duties). Anything needed for food & beverage
and décor will need to be rented from outside the venue. Many
theaters do have parking
lots available for guests.
