What information do you need to rent a banquet hall ?

I'm in the midst of designing a banquet hall website and need to know what information you need to rent one of our halls and purchase catering. What information do you need to rent a banquet hall ?When I'm booking a conference room for one of my company's events, I look at seating in various arrangements (banquet, theatre, 1/2 rounds, etc.), room dimensions, ceiling height (for acoustics), layout in building (shown on floorplan map), price, whether the room can be expanded, divided, phone lines, high speed access %26amp; cost, Contact for catering %26amp; sales, whether a/v is provided on site, who is responsible for arranging the A/V, cancellation policy - I think that's all I need to make the initial booking. After that I get really demanding!



Go check out hotel chains like Holiday Inn and Delta and look at their confernece centres - they usually have a chart showing their meeting rooms listed down one side, and coluns showing dimensions %26amp; various capacities depending on different configurations. Or better yet, look at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.



A map of the layout of the various rooms is helpful so people know how rooms can divide / expand into each other, how bright the rooms might be based on sun exposure (critical if running slideshows), proximity to washrooms / lobby / etc.What information do you need to rent a banquet hall ?A good place to go to see such info in use is Eventective. This is a site which lists thousands of venues throughout the US and Canada. You can use the standard info offer as a guide for what people want to know from you on your website. It may not answer every question you receive, but it would be a good jumping off point as you design your site.
