The coronavirus pandemic has made sourcing a safe venue for your event in 2021 more important than ever before. The risk of hosting an event that is not up to the latest safety standards can be devastating as you put your attendees at risk.
Plus, the venue sourcing process is no easy feat, and it can be daunting at times. You want to make sure it has all the features you need – from the sound system to lighting options – and meets safety standards and requirements.
This blog post covers three ways that sourcing a venue can help your event be safer and how it can make your guests feel more at ease.
1. Consider Sourcing a Venue with Air Filtration System
One way to source a safe venue is by opting for an indoor/outdoor venue that has air filtration systems in place. This allows for better circulation of air, which makes it easier to avoid germs and viruses.
You can also set ground rules such as wearing a mask, maintaining a 6 ft. social distance from others, and practicing hand hygiene. This will help make the event safer and also reduce anxiety among your guests.
2. Review the Venue Website / Blog
Another way to make sure you are sourcing the right type of space is by checking their website or blog. Try finding all the resources they will offer to those who will be attending an event there.
In addition, many venues now have pages explicitly dedicated to keeping people safe from catching this virus through their events. Be sure to check them out as well.
3. Look At Reviews from Previous Clients
Safe venue sourcing is all about research. The Internet has made it so easy to find information on any topic you want. You can quickly learn more about a venue before booking them by doing some online investigation. This includes checking reviews and looking at previous clients’ experiences with the company.
Previous clients can best tell you how well the company can handle everything from set up to clean up and if they followed the COVID-19 pandemic safety guidelines.
The Final Word
The coronavirus has brought about a new world where everyone is uneasy about attending events and large gatherings, even on happy occasions. In this day and age, when sourcing a venue, the number one priority is safety and security.
The best way you can ensure that everyone at your event will be safe from contracting this virus is by sourcing a venue where all the latest safety guidelines are being followed, even if they have to cut back on certain nice-to-have services.
