Clubhouse party wedding venue rentals Community clubhouses

                                Normally in my postings I have been telling you about some great places to have your wedding, sweet 16, birthday, dance, Mitzvah and corporate event. There are numerous great locations to have your special event but those who are on a budget, which is of course many people, can always go for the clubhouse rental in your local community. There are hundreds upon hundreds of clubhouses in gated communities and residential areas. Even if you don't have one in your community you may know somebody who's a close friend or relative who has a clubhouse in their community.

                                          

                                          When setting up to have an event there are 3 main factors that your guests will remember that day. The number 1 thing people remember is who performed the entertainment at the event. It's totally true! I'm sure you've heard people say before, "Oh the DJ at the wedding or party wasn't very good, they didn't do much." It's not often that you will hear other people say that the facility that the event was not good. The second factor that people remember is the food served. The third thing that guests remember is the facility. So reserving a place for your event doesn't have to be the Taj Mahal as long as you put your investment into other things to make it how you want. We have performed at elaborate venues that had no decorations what so ever. We've also performed at small clubhouses in a customers community with lots of decorations and good music. That is a good idea to take into account. 

                                  Another great thing about clubhouses are they have easy access to the banquet room and it's more personable meaning, you can customize the look of everything. The Marriott, Embassy Suites or Double Tree doesn't mind customizing your event experience but it may cost you quite a bit more. Doing some of the designing and party props yourself may help your budget. Plus you know that you'll like it. You can also have family or close friends help in decorating the clubhouse too. There might even be a chance that the clubhouse is available the day before. This way you can go in and start decorating ahead of time. 

                                  One more good thing about community clubhouses for your wedding, party, or other type of event is flexibility. If you rent a clubhouse for the day then you have that entire day to use it. When having an event at a hotel the time you book is usually it and no more. I can recall times when 10pm rolled around and everyone is still on the dance floor having a blast and the last dance comes on because the hotel is closing up shop. Now I'm not putting down hotels or country clubs because numerous people use them and they're convenient for catering and venue needs. If you know that you're guests are a partying crowd and you'll end up extending your time then consider a place that has a flexible schedule. 

                                  Last but not least I will of course mention some negatives of clubhouses to be fair. Unlike hotels and country clubs, you must look into your own catering. Whether it be a friend of a friend catering service or someone off the internet you'll have to do some research. Secondly, many clubhouses don't have a drive up area with overhang. So if you have bad weather (Florida weather is fickle) that could also be an issue. Lastly clubhouses aren't as big as hotel banquet rooms or country clubs. So if you're planning an event with 100+ people look for a place that has enough room.

Happy Venue hunting and feel free to leave your questions, comments for me.
