What to Include in an Event
Venue Checklist

A polished tour can make every venue feel possible. A written checklist helps you compare what matters after the first impression: usable capacity, service inclusions, production readiness, guest access and the people responsible for execution.

The most useful question is not simply ‘Is it included?’ but ‘How will it work for this event?’

Space

Compare capacity in your actual layout

Ask for capacity with your stage, dance floor, audiovisual footprint, service stations and preferred table style included. Maximum occupancy alone rarely describes the usable room.

Service

Understand what the venue team owns

Clarify catering, rentals, setup windows, event management, security, cleanup and vendor responsibilities. Written responsibilities prevent assumptions from becoming last-minute costs.

Access

Walk the venue as a guest and vendor

Review parking, accessibility, loading routes, hotel access and arrival signage. The behind-the-scenes path matters just as much as the entrance guests see.
