Significant historic buildings, such as mansions, castles, former city
halls, etc., can add impact to an event. They have often been internally
remodeled as event venues, offering luxurious meeting room, banquet
halls, theaters
and hospitality suites, but in such a manner as to retain the uniqueness
of the original building.
There may be security requirements or limitations on where guests have
access to. Depending on the venue, tables, chairs, linens, etc., may
be included in the fee, may be available for an extra cost from the
facility, or may need to be rented from an outside agency. Food &
beverage service may be available (or even mandatory) from the venue,
or an outside caterer may be required. Any staffing may need to be hired
from the venue’s employees, or it may be possible to use outside
agencies or volunteers. It should be confirmed with the venue that there
is sufficient power for audiovisual
and other electronic
needs.
