What is the difference between a wedding venue and a banquet hall?

A banquet hall is typically a large space for holding catered events, like weddings or conventions. A wedding venue on the other hand, is not just a big room capable of seating lots of people. Wedding venues are typically complete packages with all the amenities you need for a wedding. Wedding venues also specialize in just weddings so they have the expertise to provide everything a wedding needs.

What should be considered when purchasing a wedding venue?

Location: Ensure that there is proper demand for the area and that the actual location is accessible during as much time of the year as possible.

Capacity: Be sure that your venue will accommodate the number of guests you plan to be able to handle.

Amenities: Ensure that the venue has all the amenities you are looking for. This includes space for a dance floor, proper commercial kitchen, grounds for outdoor portions of the wedding, and accommodations for the bridal party.

Facilities: Carefully consider what types of event can be hosted at your proposed location. Focusing on just weddings is a specific business decision, but having flexibility in your facilities may allow for additional revenue during less popular times of the year.

What other considerations are there when purchasing a wedding venue?

Insurance, taxes, and cost of utilities are other factors to keep in mind as wedding venues work year-round and should accommodate all kinds of weather and timing of events.

Many people who are interested in purchasing a wedding venue have already run other types of businesses like a restaurant or catering service. This may be particularly helpful when considering buying a wedding venue since you already understand what it takes to run a business in that service industry.
