What should I keep in mind when looking for a blank canvas venue in Sydney?

Whether you're planning your dream wedding, cocktail party, or other social gatherings, there are a few things you should consider when booking a blank canvas venue:

Venue Size

Your guest list and the type of event you’re planning will be key when selecting a blank canvas venue. Preferably, look for venues that are not too large or too small, as this will ensure all attendees have enough space to move around comfortably while also leaving room to set up furniture, decorations and other elements according to your style.

Catering & Bar Service

Accessibility and convenience are two of the main factors when looking for a blank canvas venue. A great way to ensure that both these requirements are met is to select a venue that offers its own catering and bar services so that you don’t have to worry about finding your own external providers. This will also avoid additional costs in hiring third-party providers. Some of the blank canvas venues are even BYO venues that allow you to bring your own food.

Accessibility

Choosing a blank canvas venue with adequate parking and easy access for your guests is essential. If you’re hosting an event that requires numerous vendor services, make sure the location has enough loading zones to accommodate them all. Additionally, consider what type of transportation options are available nearby, as well as how far away your guests will be coming from.

Facilities

The venue should have all the necessary amenities and services for your event, including a kitchen, tables & chairs, sound systems, AV equipment, WiFi access, and more. Make sure to ask about these before signing any contracts.

Budget

Hiring a blank canvas venue in Sydney doesn’t have to break the bank. Consider your budget when selecting a venue as some may charge extra fees for certain services and amenities. Negotiate these costs with the management ahead of time so that you don’t get any unexpected surprises at the end of your event.
