Just like any major milestone, hosting a Quinceañera is a special and unforgettable experience, but it can also be a overwhelming for a family to take on. Much thought and consideration goes into the planning and organizing of this special occasion. Before you jump into buying the dress, booking the DJ, the venue, the menu and other important details, you must decide on the right venue. To help you determine the right venue, have a list of questions to ask. Here are some key questions you'll want to ask when choosing your venue. 1) How many people will you invite and will your venue be able to accommodate this? 2) How formal or informal do you want for your Quinceañera to be? Will the space be an appropriate fit for your theme? 3) Does the venue ask that you provide your own food or is the food including in their package? At the Salem Convention Center, all of the worry is left to us…we will create your perfect menu, have the room setup and take care of your guests throughout the full event! 4) Are you planning to serve alcohol? Make sure it is allowed in the venue of choice and ask about extra fees (corkage fees, bartender, security, etc). 5) Is there complimentary on-site parking or will your guests have to pay? 6) Does the venue have on-site catering facilities and services? (We do!) 7) Can the venue provide dance floors and accommodate musical entertainment along with audio & visual services or do you have to pay for this? 8) Find out specifically what services are included in the rental fee- does it include Tables/chairs/linens/etc? 9 ) What are the hours? How long will you have the space and will there be a fee if you exceed your time? 10) Does the venue offer overnight accommodations for your out of town guests? 11) How much is the deposit?
