When looking to find a location to host wedding events, bachelor parties, quinceanera, business events are just a few events to name that are important moments in life that need the proper place to be held. Here at The Plaza at Whitney Ranch, we strive to provide a moment in life that will always be remembered and cherished no matter your goal. Today we are giving you a few tips on how to pick an event hosting location and the main topic we are talking about today is what the event location has to offer.

 Services provided

All events have one thing in common, they need various services to function properly and effectively. Some examples of good services provided by hosting locations include food stations, bar/ drink selections, music/DJ services, photo booths, stage, lighting, and table setups.

  • Food Stations are one of the most crucial stages in preparing for your event. Having a variety of options available depending on what you would like to provide for your event is something that needs to be decided upon early on. Some events like birthday parties or business events may only need small refreshments and a little food station with snacks would suffice. While wedding events will most likely need full-service food and catering provided depending on one’s budget. We like to provide our hosts with the option of either and can even help assist with catering from your favorite restaurants around town.
  • Bar/Drink Stations ideally a full-service bar would be the most beneficial for bachelor parties and business events as well because of the wide selection of guests and tastes people have. Often times a full bar isn’t necessary for smaller parties or even for groups that will have underage minors around. In these cases, a small drink station with sodas, juices, and water is a nice simple and effective solution. Some venues aren’t able to provide a full-service bar because of licensing issues have no worries at The Event Plaza at Whitney Ranch we have all of the required licensing needed and professionally trained bar staff to provide the best service around.
  • Music Services can bring life to any and all parties regardless of the event. Everyone enjoys music and there are options for this as well. Some cases may require a live band or DJ such as during wedding events or bachelor parties. Again smaller parties may opt not to have a live band or DJ because of budget issues and that’s okay, at the event plaza at Whitney ranch we have a full self-service DJ hookup to plug into modern iPhones to blast over speakers and you can become your own DJ of the party.
  • Photo Booths or photographers are what make the events everlasting for all of the guests. Having a photo booth is the cheaper of the two options and allows guests to go in on their own time throughout the event to take pictures and pay for them separately. But if there is room in the budget a professional photographer will capture the best moments with the greatest quality hands down. People will have memories of your great event to talk about for years to come! We have some of the best photographers available at reasonable prices please contact us for more details.
  • Having a stage is ideal for many events that need to get everyone’s attention for speeches or important announcements. It can be difficult for a host to get the attention of over 200 guests who are all talking and having a good time without a properly set up stage and equipment for speaking. We provide different options in our venue with built-in stages or our beautiful corridor stairwell that can give you the perfect perch to stand and address all of your beloved guests below. With speakers placed in ideal locations attached to a microphone even the softest spoken can be heard from all.
  • Lighting and Table setup are often overlooked by many hosts until you realize that many venues don’t offer these complementary here at the Event Plaza at Whitney Ranch we do include these free of charge all we ask is that a proper headcount is provided in advance to get the correct number of tables set up and ready. Lighting creates ambiance and as we all know ambiance creates a great feeling and ever-lasting memory.   No matter the event our venue offers various colored lighting, strobes, and much more to satisfy all needs.

These are just a few important things to consider when selecting an event location to host your important life-changing event. Don’t let your moment lose value because of poor research and choosing the wrong venue for your event.
