Corporate Event Venues – Plan Memorable Company Events

Frequently asked questions about company events

How big should the venue for my company event be?

That depends on the format: for a banquet with tables, allow roughly 1.5 to 2 m² per person as a rule of thumb, and about 1 m² for a standing reception. You also need space for the buffet, stage, cloakroom and technical equipment. Always ask venues for their maximum capacity per seating layout, not just the overall number.

What equipment matters for a company event?

Sound and lighting, good room acoustics, enough cloakroom space and toilets, and a plan for deliveries and catering are all important. Depending on your guests, accessibility, parking and accommodation options also play a role. Event venues are especially flexible because space and technology can be adapted.

What types of company events are there?

Typical formats include company parties, summer parties, anniversaries, kick-offs and customer events. They differ in audience, programme and what they need from a venue. Some occasions have their own pages, for example Christmas parties, conferences and team events.

How far in advance should I plan a company event?

The bigger the event, the earlier you should enquire: for events with many guests, several months of lead time are advisable. Popular periods such as summer and December get booked up particularly early. If you are flexible on weekdays, you can often still find free dates at short notice.

How do I calculate the budget per person for a company event?

Divide the total budget by the expected number of participants and plan venue, catering, technical equipment, programme and, if needed, accommodation as separate items. Add a buffer of 10 to 15 per cent. That way you can see early on whether your preferred format fits the budget.
