Hospitality entrepreneur George Russo from Queens, NY, shares the key features that make event spaces stand out as functional, beautiful Venues for any party, wedding, family gathering, or business meeting.

On-Site Kitchen

One of the most important aspects that a quality venue should have is an on-site kitchen. Without a kitchen, caterers will have to bring expensive outdoor set-ups and tents. The kitchen should be large and well-appointed with restaurant-quality appliances. It should be able to serve any food at any time of day. It may need the room to accommodate more than one party at once.

A Variety of Room Sizes and Types

Quality event venues should have various rooms available, from rooms seating a few dozen people to large banquet halls seating in the hundreds. This enables customers of all budget levels and different-sized events to rent a room in the facility.

Elegant Decor

If the facility is primarily set up to handle weddings and other special events, it is best that it has elegant decor. Brides and other hosts want a beautiful venue in its own right, partly to cut down on decorating costs and partly because it will make their event shine.

Villa Russo provides several beautiful rooms for a variety of occasions. Their Palace Room includes a second-floor balcony that is ideal for grand entrances by the bride and groom.

Special Lighting

A properly equipped event facility has many different lighting options and professional help deciding on a lighting design and setting it up. Lighting can create a variety of moods for an event, and it can also serve to enhance the decor that a client brings to the facility.

Availability of Rental Items

The ideal event venue has chairs, tables, linens, and dishes that can be rented for use during a celebration or meeting. This saves guests the problem of hiring outside service providers. The venue should also be prepared to set up the dining room or ceremony site to the client’s specifications.

Connections with Vendors

Event facility staff should have close connections with the vendors needed to make an event come together. These can include caterers, photographers, DJs, videographers, wedding planners, florists, and other professionals. Experienced service providers know how to hold the most attractive event at the venue, and they can be relied on to provide stellar service.

Accessibility

Event venues should be fully accessible to the disabled. They should be able to accommodate patrons with walkers, wheelchairs, and canes. Many elderly and disabled family members want to be included in celebrations but cannot do so because event venues are not accessible.

Plenty of Parking

A quality event venue has plenty of off-street parking for everyone involved with the celebration. Guests do not want to be frustrated with the experience of finding parking on the street, which may fill up quickly during a well-attended event.

Convenient Location

Event venues should be located conveniently. In some cases, event venues with special features like oceanside settings are located in less trafficked areas, but most clients want to rent a venue that will be easy for their clients to find and access. Villa Russo is located in the Richmond Hill section of Queens, NY, in a central location. 

Fully Staffed

Ideally, an event venue is fully staffed with caterers, servers, cleaning staff, and other necessary positions. If a venue can provide these services to their guests without having to hire them from outside, guests may be able to save money and increase the convenience of their event.

Professional Management

Event venues should be professionally managed. Experienced event professionals know the issues that are likely to occur during most events, and they are well-equipped to step in and turn the event around if something goes wrong. Event venues that lack professional management sometimes have to rely on an external event planner or even the guests themselves to handle issues that may come up during their meeting or celebration.

Choosing the Right Event Venue

When taking all of these factors into consideration, clients should prioritize their needs and decide on possible deal-breakers. Clients should weigh which factors are the most important and make their decision based on amenities and overall ambiance.

George Russo and his family are experienced event hosts who can accommodate weddings, graduations, proms, business meetings, family parties, and many other types of gatherings. If clients are looking for an event space in the New York City metro area, Villa Russo should be on their list of venues to consider.

Planning the Perfect Event

Clients who want to plan an event are often confused about how to go about it. George Russo recommends hiring an experienced event planner with a CMP or CSEP certification. This means that an event planner is well-versed in the skills and techniques needed to create a successful event that will lead to lasting positive memories.
