Venue Selection & Requirements
While we do ask that the client sources the venue, we’re more than happy to provide recommendations if needed. When selecting a venue, please ensure it meets the following criteria:
- Centrally located for your target audience
- A self-contained function room with minimal external noise
- Sufficient seating capacity for the expected turnout
Golf clubs, bowls clubs, sports clubs, and RSLs are great places to start. Many of these venues offer complimentary hire and benefit from bar sales. Community halls and clubhouses also work well, allowing extra fundraising via food and beverage sales.
