How do I choose a good venue location?

The location of an event is incredibly important. It needs to be appropriate for the type of event and the number of guests. Try to choose a venue in Orkney that is easily accessible, especially for larger events. Guests should be able to arrive hassle-free. If you do want to book a venue that is further out or difficult to get to, try to provide transport shuttles for your guests.

How far in advance should I book a venue?

The right venue in Orkney is the first step to a successful event. It helps to choose a venue as quickly as you can, but don’t rush the process. There are sought after venues in Orkney that require bookings at least 4-6 months in advance. If you book a venue early, you might secure a substantial discount too. Venue availability depends on the season, day, and time of the event.

What are the different kinds of venues I could hire?

There are plenty of venues in Orkney that cater to a variety of different events. The most popular venue choices are: -Restaurants -Hotels/ Lodges -Conference Centres -Sports clubs -Country clubs -Community centres or halls

What is usually included in venue hire fees?

Every venue in Orkney will have different hire fees. Take note of the different rental agreements and fee structures. A good rule of thumb is to unpack what is included in the overall fee. Ask yourself the following questions: -Does it include full décor and furniture? -Are waiters and bar staff included in the fee? -What is the corkage fee, if any? -Is there additional parking space? -How many hours will I have the venue for? -Does the venue have toilets or change rooms? -Are pets allowed at the venue?

How do I know that a venue will be the right size for an event?

Most venue managers will tell you how many people can fit into a space. Make sure that you choose a venue in Orkney according to the maximum capacity guidelines. Do not try to squish people into a small space.

Should I expect the venues to have access to Wi-Fi?

Most venues have Wi-Fi, especially if they’re in a cosmopolitan area. Strong Wi-Fi is a necessity for business events and allowing your guests to stay connected. However, if you find yourself at a venue in the middle of a nature reserve, there might not be any Wi-Fi. It’s advisable to check beforehand.

Is it possible for two events to happen in the same venue?

There is a possibility that two separate events will happen in the same building. However, there’s usually a separate venue/ room for each event. The venue managers will make sure that there’s enough space for different events to happen at the same time. However, weddings usually have the entire venue reserved for the day.
