How to select the right function room in Brisbane for your event?

Brisbane is home to some of the greatest function rooms in the country.

No matter the occasion, budget and/or gathering size – you can find a function room in Brisbane that meets all your needs.

A venue perhaps plays the most important role in ensuring the event is a huge success. So, when selecting a function room for your event in Brisbane, you want to ensure it’s a good fit for your event type.

Here’s how you can pick the right function room for your event in Brisbane:

What are your event requirements?

While function rooms are pretty versatile, be it an official event or personal – with a bit of work, they can be converted into spaces cut out to host your event.

However, some occasions may have specific venue expectations. Such as:

• For a sit-down dinner party, appropriate for occasions like anniversaries, engagement announcements and/or a cosy reception – the room must have enough length to accommodate a long dining table.

• For a press meet, the venue must be able to accommodate an elevated stage and enough seating for the journalists and media persons invited.

Additionally, budget and expected guest count are also essential deciding factors in choosing the right venue for your event in Brisbane.

The function room must comfortably fit your expected number of guests, not only while sitting but also should allow them to move freely around the room. It’s also essential to secure such a space within your allocated budget for the venue hire, so that none of your other event needs are compromised.

Location is Key

If most of your guests are concentrated in one part of Brisbane, we recommend picking a function room that’s close by or at least easily accessible for them. Brisbane’s landscape is filled with function rooms in every nook and corner, so finding a function room in your preferred suburb will not be a problem.

Gather all the important and relevant information about the venue beforehand, so you can inform your guests. This includes:

• Proximity to public transport
• Where to park
• Locations of ramps for wheelchairs and prams

Other Considerations

Some function rooms may come packaged with equipment, catering, staff and other essentials. It’s important to know beforehand what you require for your event. You can accordingly find out how many of these can your chosen venue organise in-house.

Arranging additional vendors to provide equipment, food, drinks and staff can significantly impact your budget. We recommend you look for a venue that can fulfil most of your requirements in-house to save money.

Pro tip: if great photographs from the event are on top of your priority list, look for a function room with ample natural light. This way you won’t have to spend on amping up the lighting in the room and can still have amazing pictures from the event.
